I stumbled into that git issue and couldn't stop reading. He was immediately dismissive of the security suggestion, even when that person had gone out of their way to provide verifiable examples of the vulnerability. I ended up not installing the software.
I'm taking this thread as an opportunity to pay Comcast a review I owe them as I recently became a first time customer with them:
Comcast may have the best deal in most areas by virtue of monopoly, but I can guarantee you that the average customer ends up paying more. I agreed with a rep on $60 per month for just internet, nothing else. The bill comes and it's $83 with basic TV and a service charge. How they did this was they sent me a text message with a link to an agreement and asked if "everything looks right". Being on my cell phone and on my lunch break I just wanted to get it over with and said yeah.
They also assume you want somebody to come over and plug in your modem and rent you a router. I explicitly said no to this, but they signed me up for installation anyway.
I'm convinced Comcast institutionally trains reps to steer sign ups in this way.
I was refunded eventually, but it still cost me time to dispute billing.
My 2 cents: keep supporting it for free for a little bit longer, and then if there's no way to keep managing it yourself, make the leap and monetize. If people don't like ads/paying and leave, then you'll at least have a large userbase that can recover.
The potential for this kind of application is great; it allows people who would otherwise decline, postpone, or forget to get this kind of therapy. All while delivering it through a much more cost effective medium.
One time my app started crashing when I added a large async routine. I ssh'd in and topd and noticed memory and swap were maxed out. Doubled the swap and it runs just like it did before.
Does anyone know of any uber cheap monitoring services that last at least 6 months?
Also, I suggest billing Equihax for time spent changing emails, phone numbers, etc to make your identity less susceptible ("the time you spent remedying fraud, identity theft, or other misuse of your personal information caused by the data breach, or purchasing credit monitoring or freezing credit reports, up to 20 total hours at $25 per hour.")
I was debating doing the same thing, but I found MX Linux to be an appealing hop after years of Debian. I don't particularly care for sleek looks and really like XFCE, but my hardware can handle much more anyway so why not.
I learned a lot of *NIX stuff just by way of introduction through setting up a fileserver to host Plex, network shares, music server, etc. Doesn't really fall into any of your categories. It's more like:
4. People who upgraded their PC and have an old PC that is currently doing nothing (but could).
Sure I could have bought a NAS, but that would have cost more money and I wouldn't have learned nearly as much. And I wouldn't have been able to transcode streams.
Findchips is amazing. They visited our company last year and pitched their software. I gathered a small audience and we learned about what they have to offer. We subscribed and it became immediately apparent their service is essential. In a market with so much allocation, finding stock on parts is made easy with their channel analysis. This is one of the few subscriptions I've ever really felt was fully justified.
To me the fine details are incongruent: the grain of the hair sporadically changes direction, patches of skin have different qualities. It looks like a bit of Frankenstein's work.
I guess I'll be waiting until that major release and then flashing my router with it for use as a Wifi bridge.
Does anyone know of a concise guide to configuring your router for this type of use? I tried going off of what's available on the LEDE site but couldn't get it to work for whatever reason.
Yes, double check before purchasing any TP-Link routers as they were previously recommended for LEDE/OpenWRT but now actively block firmware flashing (of any kind I believe).
