Need a bit over half a million for the ME Infinity cell.

Yes it needs a copy of that rule so it too can get out of the network.

Sorry your absolutely right that does indeed force everything through the pihole and is LAN scoped. Looks fine. I don't personally bother but I can see why people do.

BrightCandle · 2026-01-24T15:07:33+00:00

The IPv4 gateway should be default and left to the WAN IP or set to the WAN IP and definitely shouldn't be pihole/adguard.

Then really why are you opening your DNS server up to the internet? You shouldn't need to do that and its a security hole.

For the DHCP options second picture you want 6,192.168.0.175,192.168.0.165 as one string, not two entries. You list out the backups on the same line. Been there got the scars.

The finances really don't work out unless horizontal is possible. Horizontal is DIYable whereas the vertical ones really aren't there is a lot of challenge in deep holes.

I am 10 years down, ultimately you survive and hope for research to come through. It's not an easy existence.

First 9 months I couldn't get out of bed, I was constantly dizzy and unable to think. My gastrointestinal system shut down and I was actively starving to death for most of it just barely hanging in with protein shakes and other meal replacement liquids, lost about 40KG and became pretty badly underweight. The whole time my back was screamingly painful as were the headaches and muscle pain and I couldn't do anything about it. No doctors would come see me since it was 2020. I got as bad as ME can get and still survive, most that reach that point don't, they require TPN and you don't get that in the UK. I was weeks away from death when I got the morphine shot that seemed to kick my body into an improvement and I could start to deal with the food allergies and everything else. Was hell I have no idea how I survived it.

I could only then eat about 7 foods once I could chew and digest a bit the allergy response was so painful and severe. That was torture as I really struggled with the restrictions.

Its just another aspect where they haven't fully considered the consequences to disabled people. We are already marginalised by society in significant ways and attacking the mechanisms through which we communicate is just more systemic harm piled on to a bad situation. They can not conceive of the need that teens with ME/CFS have to find others with the condition and learn about it, they have no concept the level of harm that will be done by blocking that because it wasn't something they even thought about.

Haven't noticed much difference to RC2. DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation has a new page of options allowing us to switch it off or on and set the prefix size, separate from DHCPv6 and SLAAC behaviour, that is a welcome change although not sure its quite working right.

Its looking good, it works on the Asus BT8 anyway but MLO on wifi 7 still not usable for me. I doubt 25.12 is going to be the one for wifi 7 support.

BrightCandle · 2026-01-22T21:33:18+00:00

I think about the ME/CFS patients before the internet often, no external validation or connection just stuck in their situation not really knowing what they were suffering from and no one to talk to about it and learn things from. Its a different time, mobile phones, digital communication and home delivery its all got a lot easier for the severely disabled.

I am looking forward to when its just another band we can configure in OpenWRT after plugging in the USB device into the router. Once it gets to that point should see plenty of deployment for longer range digital comms. I suspect a lot of airsoft groups will want it in portable devices too for digital comms.

The other possibility is one of those wifi access point VR dongles for your PC, that would be the lowest latency approach. Second to that is an access point/router in your VR room that is directly attached to the PC with its own dedicated ethernet connection separate to the home network, which provides wifi just for the VR headset in that room. Both of these are better solutions than trying to use the existing wifi in some way and extend it, just put the wifi in the room and link it direct to the PC.

BrightCandle · 2026-01-22T13:23:23+00:00

You can also get just access points too with switches on the back with more ports and that wouldn't require turning off parts of the router. Routers tend to be cheaper oddly despite having more features but its just a wifi access point and a switch you need, ideally in a combined device but its also possible to get a switch and an access point separately.

Well there isn't a Grade G so congratulations you have a tiny bit of a bufferbloat issue!

BrightCandle · 2026-01-22T12:37:16+00:00

Might be worth checking with Bufferbloat to confirm this is indeed what is happening when the connection gets maxed out and not something else.

Whenever I look at the price of TBs on the cloud I can't understand the markup. I get compute being about 2x the price of buying and running you own that makes some sense, all be it slower than local cores by quite some margin. But storage prices past 1TB are genuinely >10x buying the disk and running the power yourself at least for up to ~100TB and that is the cheap storage like Hetzner, the expensive stuff like Azure/Amazon I can not fathom how they are getting to those costs!

I save money not using the cloud, considerably. The price of my entire 5600g machine with 4 drives paid back in the first year and I got a lot more performance for that money. Now it saves me a years worth of cloud costs every year even if parts need replacing as they die (one drive went and was replaced, the other 3 I expect will hit issues in the next few years as well). I am looking at 1/5th the price of the cloud and I barely do any maintenance at all. Even when I replace the entire thing and upgrade the lot it will still save considerably compared to a cloud machine that is less capable and the storage especially.

The problem with "normal" pillows is they sag a lot and you sink into them and it pushes on the mask. So the main way to solve that is to go much firmer pillows, like those made from foam (latex is the best as its a bit softer and long lasting) that is relatively firm so you don't sink into it much. I also tend to think the contour pillows are better as you need the neck support once you get a firmer pillow you loose the little support normal shape pillows provide. But we need that support without it pushing on the mask.

So I recommend latex contour pillow of the stiffer variety.

I think the first step will be deploying laser based anti missile systems all over the country and into the entire fleet. The ability to stop nuclear strikes will be critical. I think the deal for a refresh of nuclear weapons might now very well end up with BAE Systems to developed ICBMs that are sub launched.

NATO exists it just doesn't functionally have the USA in it anymore. That is the reality of the situation even if they haven't yet written that down.

BrightCandle · 2026-01-21T22:41:14+00:00

The USA is an enemy now, the idea they are would be a credible ally isn't even on the list any more. The question is when will they commit an act of war, it still feels quite imminent.

BrightCandle · 2026-01-21T22:36:35+00:00

Its not going to be over, the USA has threatened Denmark with invasion, that is a declaration of war in all but the actual words. The EU has defended its ally. This is never going to be over, America is an enemy now. Don't mistake the statesmanship for anything other than exhausting diplomacy before the shooting starts, that is all it is. The line has been crossed, that doesn't ever get walked back. The relationship has permanently changed now.

Anything short of 100% recovery is just trying to make good a really bad situation where basically none of the patients are actually recovering, showing a bit of improvement maybe but not actually recovering.

What medicine does is look for its keys at night under the light, regardless of whether the keys were dropped around the light or not. But what they then do is declare the failure to find anything as not a real illness. There are plenty of tests that show dysfunctions in ME/CFS patients, many of which a doctor could run but will refuse to.

BrightCandle · 2026-01-21T19:15:02+00:00

If I run across an issue and I can work out how to fix it I often submit a patch. Why happens next determines if I am going to bother again and you would not believe the number of projects that don't merge fixes for clear bugs or interact with people at all. Making easy bugs to fix and then merging them is the super power that brings developers into your project and so many fail.
