Gigabit

Finally got an old Linksys router I bought off eBay flashed to OpenWrt & installed in the bedroom both for ethernet on the desktop, plus a WiFi access point for the downstairs / yard. I still need to work some kinks out of the network configuration, but my initial Fast.com speedtest showed incredibly promising results of >1Gbps (peaking at 1.8Gbps).

Granted, that's also cus it was a Saturday morning, so everyone was either sleeping or away from home & the neighborhood network wouldn't be taking much of a hit other than my own domain. Still, really nice to have a Gigabit network down and looking at upgrading to 10G or more down the line. CAT8.2 could be fun, but I'll need new network hardware for that.

I started doing some work on the network. Idle hands & all that. Now the network doesn't work. Also, I wound up on sco.wikipedia.org somehow. That was interesting... I might use this more often

Holidays, et al

PayPal's cart functionality is broken & GMail is noticeably lagging. (GMail also has an insane number of background activity for a single tab. I guess that's why people use clients.) Plus roads were hella congested (& this place is already famous for the World's Worst Driversᵀᴹ) so I guess it's officially the holidays.

I got my router's webUI working through https with a valid domain qualified certificate though, which is pretty cool. Still working on ansibling the network, but there's over a decade of technical involved in that, so it'll be a progressive thing.

I'm working on setting up a new system to demo projects, but dunno how long that'll take. Also planning a session of Honey Heist with friends. Life is certainly getting busy enough these days.
