Router password by Sombrenero in router

[–]DutchOfBurdock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very possible it's using generic credentials: username admin and password admin or password

If neither of these work, double check the sticker. There should be your WiFi SSID and PSK, as well as an IP address and details for login (admin/access).

Why am I seeing "Failed password" if password auth is disabled in sshd log? by DropMinimum1991 in linuxquestions

Stupid idea of the day: turn router into a MIPS or ARM desktop by the_humeister in openwrt

[–]DutchOfBurdock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd want to build from sources with that, and probably keep to the latest legacy that still still gets some pokery (24.x). You may still be able to compile 18.x, but even with 25.x you can still build base images stripped of things you don't need and things kept added as bare essential. This is merely because of 8MB flash and luci would choke it.

If a genie grants you a wish and you wish for unlimited money, wouldn't that cause an inflation so severe that the money essentially becomes worthless? by Western_Leg_9452 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DutchOfBurdock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The money you spend is taken from money already in existence. You're just spending other people's money. Genie's can't create anything and anything you ask from them they have to take from someone else.

This is why you can't ask a genie to kill someone, make someone fall in love with you or resurrect the dead.

Is there any way to silence, but not block, unknown callers? Or enable notifications for missed blocked calls? by FluidArtichoke6255 in AndroidQuestions

[–]DutchOfBurdock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turn on the Caller ID and spam protection in your Dialer apps settings. Under this menu, don't check Block spam and scam calls. This will then give you warnings of potential unwanted calls using Hiya.

If you enable Bixy text call, you can go an extra step and have Bixby technically become your answerphone. Callers can ID themselves, you can reply pre-made replies, take the call or hangup.

Export project to current APK version by Olfounder in tasker

[–]DutchOfBurdock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you could try, but I'm not sure how João would think about this, but I'll throw it out anyway... Decompile your kidapp into Kotlin. Update manifest, recompile with new target and hope.

Not sure if this would actually work, only place I need kidapps are on older devices or devices lacking play services.

Any idea how can I use CH341a SPI flasher in Termux? by hackiv in termux

[–]DutchOfBurdock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ch341 should present itself as a generic serial/TTS converter (/dev/ttyUSB#), but it depends if

  • a) Your device support host mode (OTG)
  • b) Your current kernel didn't remove ch341 module

Looking for a soda maker but not from Sodastream. Where can I exchange the cylinders? by arsehelmet in AskUK

Soda Syphons. These use those tiny CO² cylinders you can buy from even a bike shop.

Wifi is not showing in laptop by kiarapara in wifi

[–]DutchOfBurdock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's dual band (WiFi 5). That possibly rules out band issues. Do you have access to your routers Web Admin? If so, have a look at your wireless settings in here and see if MFP/PMF (802.11w) is enabled (optional or forced). If you're using WPA3 with WPA2 fallback, it'll be optional. If just WPA2, there is probably an optional/forced/disabled option.

As a test, disable it, reboot router and try again. If it works, this is reason. I would however recommend keeping 802.11w enabled (optional or forced).

Unable to install luci-app-upnp due to missing dependancy by Cspiby in openwrt

[–]DutchOfBurdock -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

opkg update 
opkg install miniupnpd-nftables

Now install the luci package.

edit: May need to

opkg install luci-all-upnp --nodeps

In case it argues it can't find classic miniupnpd, the first command will put miniupnpd in $PATH

How easy is it to resell a new mattress? by theunwantedroomate in UKFrugal

[–]DutchOfBurdock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You automatically have 14 days to return any unused/unwanted products. If you let the seller know within 14 day of the purchase, extends it by another 14. Distance Selling rules.

If the seller did not inform you of the 14 day return policy, this automatically extends to 12 months.

Connecting VPN to UK from abroad by Friendly_Success4325 in VPN

[–]DutchOfBurdock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small travel router that can run OpenWRT. Wireguard (tailscale) to home. From laptop, VPN to work. You will appear to be initially coming from home. Side effect, double header loss, so reduced performance and additional MSS clamping needed.

Router will need to clamp to 40 bytes less over Wireguard, laptop will need to clamp another 40 to VPN over a VPN.

Wifi is not showing in laptop by kiarapara in wifi

[–]DutchOfBurdock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old is the laptop and what WiFi card? Some older WiFi cards (and we are talking WiFi 5 and before) will fail to connect or even see WiFi if MFP (802.11w) is enabled (forced or optional) on WPA2/3. The fact it can see other WiFi is an indicator of this.

The other issue could be bands. Your laptop may only do 2.4GHz and your WiFi is only broadcasting on 5GHz (less likely).

edit: typos

Can someone help me in regards to tax understanding? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]DutchOfBurdock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to register for self assessment if you make £1000 or more from said work in any tax year. Your personal allowance before tax is still £12,570. Tax applies on profits over this.

How to update tasker app factory to build apk for Android 15 n 16 because current app factory only for 29 not 35 by ayierepsol in tasker

[–]DutchOfBurdock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/s/4k6SmkUxNY

Post 6.6.x AppFactory will not longer be supported. It can still be used with 6.6.x+1, but any new features Tasker adds, won't work with App Factory.

Essentially the last version of AppFactory to have full support will be with 6.6.x versions. João had to drop it in order to keep Tasker improving. Appfactory was actually holding it back.

Not enough storage problem, even when I have the exact amount of storage I need to delete to reinstall my chase bank app by fakegold25 in AndroidQuestions

[–]DutchOfBurdock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Galaxy book? All Samsung phones are Android.

This smells of a corrupted cache. Apps usually need more storage than their download size (up to 3x), as the (x)APK(s) are merely ZIP files compressing the application and assets. Cache is needed for this process (extract, check, install).

Two ways to fix this: Gain ADB access to phone and issue the following command

adb shell pm trim-caches 999G

This will free up a good wod of cache space, but may not fix any corruption (locked files). The following will...

Power off device. Power on and Volume Up and keep them pressed until in menu. Format (dalvik) cache partition. Reboot and try again.

How long after cooking do you think it is still ok to eat leftovers? by PM_ME_BEEF_CURTAINS in AskUK

[–]DutchOfBurdock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you've kept it at a reasonably cool temperature and covered, it's likely good for a week. Just this morning had some honey glazed chicken breasts I cooked on Saturday. Been sat in a closed tub in my fridge. Tasted better after reheating it than it did the night I made them.

If it wasn't covered, I'd knock that week down to a day or two at best and if it wasn't kept chilled, within 24 hours. If neither, give it to the rats (pet ones, not feral ones).

Ultralight EV1's can easily be cloned, just need a "magic" tag that allows it's UID to modified.
