True, and I had the same thought. But then I realized that’s probably true for most people that are the face of memes. At least the one I did was lighthearted / in good humor.

Depends on what I’m transferring and to/from where:

• scp is my go-to since I’m a Linux household and have SSH keys setup and LDAP SSO as a fallback
• sshfs if I’m too lazy to connect via SMB/NFS (or I don’t feel like installing the tools for them) or I’m traversing a WAN
• rsync for bulk transfer and backups
• Snapdrop/Pairdrop for one-off file/text shares between devices with GUIs (mostly phone <–> PC)
• SMB if I’m on a client PC and need to work with the files directly from the fileserver
• NFS between servers
• To get bulk data to my phone (e.g. updating my music library), I connect via USB in MTP mode and copy from the server via SMB or sshfs.

Excellent. I just use the CLI executable directly and update it as it breaks. Wasn’t even aware there were Docker versions of it lol.

Weird. I did a test download before replying, and it worked. Though I’m just using vanilla yt-dlp and am unfamiliar with the other two variants you listed.

Try updating. I got that a few days ago using an old version, and updating fixed it.

Good to know. Yeah, definitely a great start.

The 360 doesn’t suspend, so unless you leave it on you’ll be doing the exploit a lot.

With its capacative power button and where I have it placed, my dogs are really really bad about hitting it with their noses and powering it on/off 😆

I can’t watch the video right now, but my interest is piqued.

Is “hacked” being used in the “uh oh” way or used in the “useful jailbreak to run homebrew software” kind of way?

Hopefully it’s the latter since my OG Xbox’s usefulness increased 1,000% after running the MechAssault save file hack to softmod it.

Would be nice so I can set my automod to just look for the labels instead of having to nuke it all by hand.

Did anyone else ever notice that Windows’s enshittification really took off around the same time they renamed “My PC” to “This PC” ?

Always seemed like it was a subtle indicator they no longer considered it your personal computer but rather one they so graciously allow you to use once in a while.

This looks like one of those crazy old-timey recipes from the 50s/60s that you would see in a magazine.

The only thing missing is the whole thing being encased in green Jell-O.

I’ve always thought the firewall color codes were arbitrary, though I might just have not paid attention all these years lol.

Just to clarify: I meant connect your OpenWRT device to your hotspot instead of the AP you’ve been working with. Just to rule out multiple MACs being blocked on the AP.

Beyond that, I’m not really able to help troubleshoot further, but worst case and if all you need is internet, you can set your OpenWRT device up so that it just NATs your downstream connections. Double-NAT, in most cases, is fine.

Hmm. Is the upstream AP some kind of fancy deal or a run of the mill consumer router?

I’ve seen some Cisco APs configured to not allow multiple MAC addresses from the same station. Caused problems when trying to do VMs on my laptop that had the network in bridge mode.

Are you able to put your phone into hotspot, connect to that instead of the upstream AP, and see if it works?

I did that with a GL.iNet travel router after flashing stock OpenWRT, and used it as a wireless bridge for several years. It uses relayd to bridge the Wifi station interface and Ethernet. Once you have an ethernet bridge, you can connect another AP or do whatever from there.

If you create a second wifi interface in AP mode (in addition to the station/client one connected to the upstream), you should be able to add that to the LAN bridge alongside the ethernet interfaces. That bridge will then be part of the relayd bridge, and it all should just work (should, lol. I haven’t tested that config since I only needed to turn wifi into wired ethernet with this setup).

Interfaces:

LAN Bridge: Ethernet interfaces to be bridged to the wifi

I have both of its interfaces in this bridge, and it also has a static management IP (outside of the WLAN subnet). This management IP is a static out-of-band IP since the devices connected over ethernet won’t be able to access it’s WLAN IP (in the main LAN) to manage it. To access this IP, I just statically set an additional IP on one of the downstream ethernet client devices.

The LAN bridge is in a firewall zone called LAN.

WWAN: Wireless station interface that’s configured as a client to the AP providing upstream access. I have this configured statically, but DHCP is fine too. Firewall zone is WLAN.

WLANBRIDGE: The relayd bridge (Protocol: relay bridge). It’s interfaces are the LAN bridge and the WWAN interface.

Disregard the WGMesh parts; that’s separate and not related to the wireless bridging mode.

Right? It’s refreshing to see a post here that’s about technology that works for us rather than yet another article about AI being shoved into more places that no one asked for or development progress updates on the Torment Nexus.

More posts like this, please.

Oh, nice! The Xiao seed, unlike the Heltec’s I have, comes with 8 MB of PSRAM which makes it suitable for acting as a store-and-forward node.

May have to pick up at least one of these since that’s one thing I’d like to add to the mesh I’m putting together.

Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day is probably the most accurate portrayal of me ever written.

I flat-out refuse to do business with any that requires I use an app. I won’t even scan a QR code for a restaurant menu; that’s my cue to go eat elsewhere.

I think fry.gs is the main mod’s own instance.

Though best practice, as much as it exists in the Fediverse, would be to host the community assets from the home instance of the community.

Please upload the icon/baner to LW instead of from a 3rd party instance. This is the second recent time these have broken.
