didn’t Verizon overbuild most, if not all, of the area with FiOS? not sure how they’re getting away with it in the rural regions unless there are still CLECs operating. All this to say… fiber still has the issue of power outages and nonfunctioning customer backup batteries in the ONTs and I vaguely remember some drama over Verizon not offering replacement batteries or providing backups at all.
I think you mean McDonnell Douglas, it’s what happens when companies fire all the engineers in charge and replace them with beancounters.

we’re “spread” out on purpose to avoid becoming an unwieldy behemoth like kbin.social…

kbin.run admin here, i’m curious if this cert problem is still happening as i recently loosened up some of my super strict bot killing mechanisms… give it a shot again and DM me if it still doesn’t work so i can try to figure out what’s going on.
as for the name… yea, i should have named it something different. at the time, kbin was the only horse in town and the intent was to help alleviate some traffic from .social before the foundation took over to run it on their cluster… then things fell apart. unfortunately, i can’t rehome it to a new domain because it will break federation of all existing content, accounts, etc.
6.6.5 has been a massive pain in the ass with the MTK wifi in my asus g14. very happy this got released quickly, no more deadlocks!
i use Tailscale on everything these days (or use Headscale if you want to self host the control plane). with the free plan you get up to 100 devices on a “tailnet”, just set the right ACLs to only allow the remote connection ports of choice, pair it with self hosted RustDesk, and you should be good to go. the NAT traversal of Tailscale is pretty good from what i’ve observed, but sometimes you might get stuck on a relay (called a DERP) if it can’t get across the firewall(s).
Dave Plummer has a very interesting take on this since he was the dev manager for Windows CD Autorun at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqWjq2SdzpI
omg me too… a much nerdier friend of mine told me to install Gentoo on my first custom build back in the early aughts. printed out the guide and spent over a week 24/7 compiling everything with an athlon 64 3500+… and had never used Linux before this… good times, man.

hard to say for sure, but U109 and U208 could be UART into those Cisco baseband or radio chips. one placement for the 2.4 GHz (G) and 5 GHz (A), respectively. would be interesting to probe around there and see if you get a serial interface to it… obviously for extra credit ;-)
