I’m not sure WiFi 6 will be “obsolete” in even 10 years, let alone ‘soon’. I’m still using AC just fine at home. If your ISP sucks as much as most, you won’t benefit from much anyway. Maybe the new frequencies could help for apartment dwellers, or the intranet speeds could help if you transfer a lot to and from a home NAS?
I do exactly this as well. Works great! Dynamic DNS is kind of a hilarious hack.
Quick question: since I use wireguard, do I need to use DNS-over-HTTPS for security? My assumption is that my entire session is already encrypted with my wireguard keys, so it doesn’t matter. But I figured I should double check.
Unreliable recharging is why I gave up on Bluetooth headphones, too! Had it happen with four separate pairs of AirPods in my house: OG AirPods, my warranty replacement, and my partner’s AirPods Pro (and their warranty replacement). I find nothing more frustrating than heading out on a run in the morning and discovering that one or both of my buds has near-zero charge, after carefully placing them in a case the previous day.
I’ve been using a pair of Tin T2 Pro IEMs ever since. Almost 5 years with the same IEMs, I think I’ve gone through 4 cable replacements. But the replacement cables were like $5 and the latest $10 one seems likely to last much longer since it’s a nice braided cable.
Of course, I’m stuck on my Pixel 4a to keep the headphone jack. But it works well enough that I honestly have no desire to upgrade. I just wish I could still get OS security updates.
What are the chances that an IR LED hat would get you run over by a self-driving vehicle? We already know they don’t deal well with anything out of the ordinary, and they routinely slam into trucks and barriers.
My use-case is quite basic: a single combined home server/NAS, and two remote workers. My biggest obstacle, historically, was buffer bloat, which really really annoys me in video calls. I’ve got it to an acceptable level these days but it still isn’t ideal.
In a perfect world, I’d have a single home server box that does wifi, routing, NAS, jellyfin, DNS, movies, freshRSS, backups, and a few other tasks. And then I’d eventually build another and mirror data between the two in another location for redundancy. But I haven’t found anything that can handle it on mostly FOSS, long-term-security-updated software (10 years minimum), with no required subscriptions, with easily repairable or replaceable hardware. This seems to be getting really close, though! Official openVPN support for a piece of hardware would go a long way. I made a mistake buying a router in the past with a poorly supported CPU and I don’t want to make a similar mistake again.
