  • Do not set up multiple APs. Use a real mesh network designed to be used together.

    Multiple APs with the same SSID will not only interfere with each other, they will hold on to clients for way longer than they should, meaning as you walk around the house, you’ll have super weak connections, even if you’re close to the next AP.

    Mesh networks talk to each other over a lower band to coordinate both interference and clients, so they work way better.

    If you must have a specific router, just use it as a router, and set up the mesh router and satellites in AP mode.








  • This really saddens me. Email is such a fundamentally good and open protocol. The only reason people don’t like it is because of big tech’s shenanigans.

    I run an email service called Port87. I invite you to try it and see if it can convince you that email is actually a great technology, when detached from big tech slop. It’s got some really killer features that make it great for organization and preventing spam. You can also tell it that on certain addresses, it should completely ignore the strict auth requirements it usually has, so it will accept email from your own services without you having to set up all the extra bullshit that’s meant for stuff that matters more.


  • Wow. That’s a really nice font. I’m gonna have to think of a new project just to use this font. I’ve been thinking of making an open source notes app based on the Port87 editor and app. There’s just no good open source notes app. They’re all annoying and bad in some way or another. So much so that my wife uses OneNote. If I could get her off of that, I’d consider it a massive win.
