They're really wifi access points with some routing things built in. I'd say get a good WAP and a separate router that can really do what a router should be able to do.

There's been a few times I've considered doing that kind of thing, however some ISPs make it nearly impossible to run anything but their own router (they have their approved list). I'm not sure if mine does that. The other issue is trying to find something that actually is better, because lots of review are complete junk. Some while ago my ISP offered me a free upgrade router. It was a complete disaster. The 5 GHz WiFi was dead in the water, the 2 GHz WiFi failed often. Sick of arguing with online support, I took it back to their shopfront and had it swapped.

My TV as a monitor seems to randomly change its behavior. I suspect (since I had had the behavior change without rebooting/restarting X/Wayland) that the TV is updating firmware and reporting its boot up differently.

Now, for some reason, a big banner appears at the top of the screen telling me it is connected to HDMI 4 and saying what resolution it is displaying (and the time of day).

Actually, I'm having excellent results with the GL.iNET products (for business, I'm all for WatchGuard Fireboxes). I bought the Slate AX (GL-AXT1800) for my laptop. It was amazingly flexible and gave great performance. Then a client who couldn't budget for a WatchGuard for his business agreed to try the Brume 2 (GL-MT2500A). Again, it's worked great for him. It's based on OpenWRT. They put their own GUI over it, but you can get into the full LuCI GUI interface, or CLI. The prices are in line with mid- to higher-end retail router/firewalls, but it's far better. $0.02, YMMV. I'm not associated in any way with GL.iNET, nor do I get anything for saying good things about the product. And, of course, it's always subject to change if they do.

[snip] That reminds me that my last router had the option to plug in a stick or drive via usb and present that to the LAN as a shared storage option. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

That's not it. Don Marti suggested that old Linux Journal article, and although I had seen it, I didn't read it completely the first time around. I think AMS was the app I used decades ago. So I did DNF install it last night, and although it ran, I couldn't get any output; either as sound or recorded into a file. So I don't know what's wrong. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

To be clear, I'm not advocating the use of a cloud service as an alternative to local storage. The specific question here is about facilitating data transfer between two incompatible systems. Keeping your valuable data in the cloud, with or without local backup, is a different issue. poc ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

I've been a consultant for over 45 years. I've seen fads come and go, along with more consistent changes that survive. Cloud isn't a fad--it's not going away--but it is still finding itself. And implementors are not, in my professional opinion, anywhere near a secure and sustainable final solution. None will sign meaningful contracts that hold them liable for downtime or data loss. Punitive charges for data extraction still exist--the "roach motel" model. Security isn't where it needs to be, especially considering they're a high-value centralized target for attack. And transparency across the field is lacking--who has access to the data resident on their servers, what redundancy, backup, and protection schemes are in use, etc. All that said, the solution I've been implementing is a hybrid model. Cloud for only non-critical data transfer with clients and customers--NO sensitive information whatsoever. On-premises, we provide a private cloud using NextCloud. It's easy to build on a Linux system, works on a VM, and is easy to use. I have a detailed generic guide to installation and configuration if anyone wishes. So you might consider putting up your own NextCloud instance. -- Dave Ihnat ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

They supported the back-up schemes of Windows and Mac. So, supposedly, you have their streamlined method of doing backups and restore, where you can follow the native instructions for doing it, and just point them at your own personal cloud. As well as just supporting the various network file systems (Mac, Windows, and NFS), to use them as just a hard drive on the LAN. Hint: For the ones that are the size and shape of a fat hardback book, prop them up with something so they can't be knocked over sideways. The little snap-on foot they supply isn't wide enough. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.99.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 14:19:20 UTC 2023 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.

That's your call of course. It's a question of weighing the benefits against potential risks, which only you can do. In my case I consider the potential risks to be negligible and the benefits considerable, but YMMV. poc ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
