Next up: After I bought a used AVM FritzRepeater 1750E and flashed #OpenWRT onto it, I will need to configure it. VLANs, Wifis, SSH, Backup, the ususal.
This will be the third access point, to cover my wife's workspace (which is having bad Wifi due to the thick ceilings in our house).
Thanks OpenWRT!

@wood5y The BBC have already started. #bbcsounds can't be streamed over an ethernet connected #vpn. My work around, old kit that's #WiFi to my #FritzBox (#VPN) . Le voila . #Sounds #Radio6 as much as I need. .When nanny state turns into big brother is watching eh?

Is it a common experience for those who own Epson printers that, after it's been idled for a short while, you have to power cycle to get the wifi connection to work to the Mac computer sitting just a couple meters away? Printing and scanning just fails after a short while. Luckily power cycling does not clear the print queue, which I did experience in the past with HP printers.
Trying to decide if it is an Epson issue or my building's wifi router configuration. It's pulling teeth with them to resolve anything, because they insist on phone calls, and I have huge troubles with that method of communcation.
#WhoFi quietly turns #WiFi into a #surveillance tool that sees through walls and remembers your movements
The tech uses existing Wi‑Fi networks to sense human presence and movement https://www.techradar.com/pro/wi-fi-signals-could-be-used-to-uniquely-identify-individuals-whofi-complements-biometrics-prompting-privacy-fears
Public #hotspot / #WiFi providers that restrict traffic to port 80&443: Grow a pair. Grow up. Get real.
Well intending users are being punished because of your "security checklist" or some arbitrary certificate. It's 2025 and people deserve better than being treated like criminals just because you felt like it.
Jemand eine Idee wie man Wifi Captive Portals erreicht ohne den VPN auszumachen? Das ging doch noch vor kurzem!?
Humans can be tracked with unique 'fingerprint' based on how their bodies block #WiFi signals

Dall’Università La Sapienza arriva WhoFi
#WhoFi si basa sull’idea che la forma dell’onda del segnale #WiFi viene alterata dalla presenza di ostacoli. I segnali Wi-Fi interagiscono quindi con ossa, organi e composizione corporea, determinando distorsioni specifiche per ogni persona creando una sorta di "firma biometrica" univoca con la quale è possibile identificare un soggetto precisamente e su diversi sistemi.
Another example how our #education system fails to prepare our kids for life:
I met an engineer(!) who thought that switching from a 4G Internet router to fiber glass Internet would boost the signal strength in his Ethernet sockets and of his #WiFi so that it'd reach more corners in his house. 
He further thought that he'd be able to drive his 4K TV screen for streaming high-res videos using a 7 year old 200€ laptop on HDMI. The poor thing even struggles to run very basic apps because of his very limited hardware features. He also accused the 4G Internet router for the resulting streaming issues. 
I spend several hours to explain things to him. And now he's going to buy a used (lenovo) notebook to run #Linux on it, which I showed to him briefly. 
(Btw, #Debian13 + #Gnome perfectly integrates the whole #Google #cloud shit.)
So, people actually *want* to learn. We just don't teach the right stuff.
»Humans can be tracked with unique 'fingerprint' based on how their bodies block Wi-Fi signals:
Wi-Fi spy with my little eye that same guy I saw at another hotspot. Researchers in Italy have developed a way to create a biometric identifier for people based on the way the human body interferes with Wi-Fi signal propagation.«
If this is not also used for manipulating advertising of all kinds of interests?

Il vostro scheletro sta trasmettendo in WiFi. Ogni osso, ogni respiro lascia una firma elettromagnetica unica che l'Università Sapienza ha trasformato in sistema di riconoscimento biometrico. WhoFi vi identifica al 95,5% di precisione senza telecamere, attraverso muri e al buio. Ogni router diventa un occhio invisibile che sa chi siete.
