Yup, every piece of “home user” gear I’ve tried has needed regular reboots, or failed in ~24 months.
I mean I was purposefully stress testing and can be a heavy user. Maybe it works fine for grandma doing some email and Facebook on an iPad
After great feels using it at work, setup Ubiquiti kit at home two years ago and only rebooted it when I decided to move the APs to improve signal coverage on the far end of our house.
For $100-ish an AP these days (my home units are the UniFi AP-AC Long Range on Amazon), I don’t see any reason to buy anything else
Always felt a set of “content viewers” for Dropbox might also undo Facebook and “social media”
Something for 1:1 or 1:ppl-I-trust type sharing.
Couldn’t reason around a way to share comments such that they couldn’t be mucked with or adding a bunch of extra files to the Dropbox. Maybe an encrypted Sqllite file that each client signs on write so if it’s tampered with you’d know?
Keybase and their builtin git and filesystem features might be useful for that too
But Keybase is not as adopted as Dropbox be.
Personally I find little value from social media that enables connecting everyone. And I don’t think I’m alone — last Xmas, got to talking to my nieces who are leaving home for college. They have zero interest or trust in Google and Facebook
Twitter is useful for headline and current events updates but that could just as easily be RSS. Can’t IPO based on an open standard, I guess. Not enough sizzle
If people want to organize around a certain set of ideals that’s up to them. Codifying it in their law is also up to them.
No one social organizational structure has an inherent right to exist unless the people seem to support it.
Argue brainwashing or propaganda is what maintains it, the reality is: thems the rules in France.
