Checkmate, consumer.

Because my new intel integrated graphics cause Wayland to run like a slideshow.

Yeah I know. Never said different.

Check out gear by GL.iNet. They’re pretty cheap, albeit low specced, but they come with OpenWRT flavor preinstalled. They’re an unbelievable value proposition and I’ve been running mine with no noticeable issues since September. For you I would look at something like their GL-AX1800.

Yup. I can’t live without it now. The only thing I had to change is to remember to open my work laptop before I leave for the day so that it syncs. About one a week I do a backup with my NAS at home

Syncthing. Once you set it up, there is almost no going back. It doesn’t pass through servers though so your backup machine also needs to be on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncthing

I would pay for YouTube Premium, like I had been when I was a student ($7.99/month), but I’m not a student anymore and they want $19 a month. Fuck no.

And they specifically want to see the picture of you on the back.

Back when it was only really known for Search.
