    I haven’t tried *WRT in this house, but I tried replacing my TP-Link with pfSense and also with OPNSense but neither would get an IP from the ISP. As soon as I switched back to my router (purchased by me, not ISP provided) I immediately got an IP again.

    I tried cloning my router’s MAC address and manually entering a static IP, but neither got me an internet connection, so I got annoyed and switched back to my commercial router. I’ve been meaning to try out openWRT but I’m afraid of compromising my mesh setup.


















  • Where I grew up, driving school was mandatory before being eligible for a license.

    I ended up going to two. The first one, the instructor advocated disregarding caution and just trusting in the universe to take care of you (not exactly how she phrased it). At one point some state representative came in; the instructor, apparently forewarned, told the class that she would be teaching differently the day the representative was there and that we shouldn’t comment on it.

    When my mom found out, she took me out and put me in a better known school, then demanded a refund from the first one. The instructor sent her a copy of her contract, highlighting a phrase that was something like “no refund under any conditions.”

    A few months later, that school was no longer open.
