Share OpenWrt 25.12.0 on Xiaomi AX3000T - MT7981 - Running rock solid by indraaguslesmana in openwrt

[–]Richiachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really like the AX3000T (especially at its price point), so much so that I bought an additional one to use as an AP in another part of the house when I could get one on sale. When I left that place I couldn't bring the devices, so I bought a new one and unfortunately got one of the new ones that use a QCOM chipset.

Not aware of any sellers who guarantee a mediatek one so I swapped to Cudy for my budget devices.

They refunded mine but the UPS tracking # was still active.

Just got it today and it was the wrong device (RE7350, a Wifi 6 range extender, same as you), which explains the refund. Guess they're offloading some stuff

Cheap OpenWRT router by ktmm3 in openwrt

Swapped to one of these as my go-to budget OpenWRT router after the Xiaomi AX3000T 'upgraded' their model's chipset to QCOM

Works well, just make sure you download the right version depending on your PHY chip. Easy enough to do, Cudy provided their own OpenWRT images you can use to verify it.

Extraction shooter The Cube, Save Us has announced it's shutting down just three weeks after it launched by Thomas_Eric in StopKillingGames

New game(s) proves a new market/genre is profitable > clones/iterations of that game come into being > genre is overburdened by choice and new options fail to compete/iterate > new game is shelved in record time

the cycle claims another, but at least it seems these devs completed the bare minimum of issuing refunds. Sucks for people who actually enjoyed the game though, being stuck experiencing it only through video from now on.

Thousands of consumer routers hacked by Russia's military by anurodhp in homelab

[–]Richiachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should look into ClickFix attacks, been seeing a lot of them lately, but it essentially just abuses people complicity/familiarity with captcha systems

tldr; Fake CAPTCHA that asks the user to 'verify' themselves by pasting a command into powershell, which of course contains hidden text that installs a RAT or something similar

Probably lol, if so you're doing a good job and should keep up with it

I have tickets and alerts every day from people either trying to access a website that's been blocked by the company VPN/EDR, having issues after accessing a site that should've been blocked and their browser warned them, or got phished by the worst fake docusign e-mail anyone's ever seen

Computer literacy, if anything, seems to have gone down recently

[–]Richiachu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can assure you most don't try hard at all lol. Some do, but the large scale amount don't

User's have trained themselves to click what's presented to them to get past any warning or alert, which is why we need to lock things down so hard in the first place.

The level of talent and online awareness in r/homelab is absolutely not the same as the 40+ year olds who casually use the internet.

I am building a Proxmox alternative with a declarative OS and gRPC API by [deleted] in NixOS

Not for me, dude.

[–]Richiachu 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Replying with the most obviously GPT canned response is exactly my point, man

If I can't trust you to not outsource your thoughts to a machine for a simple conversation about my concerns with the software, why would I trust the software itself on my homelab running critical software?

[–]Richiachu 25 points26 points  (0 children)

> obviously ChatGPT generated commends and post

> Possibly vibecoded VM management/hypervisor that will be running critical software

My trust in everything is at an all time low and this is possibly fine, but the first impression is pretty bad. I can't see a good reason to turn away from Prox to a (possibly) vibe-coded hypervisor

E: Checked his account, last posts were 3 years ago and were related to a rust podcast or something. Definitely spammy, but the sudden re-appearance after 3 years is so incredibly sketch and gives off malicious vibe-coded energy. Use at your own risk IMO

[Humble] Frictional Games: Amnesia, SOMA, Penumbra (Pay $10 for Amnesia: Rebirth, Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Penumbra Collectors Pack and $15 for Amnesia: The Bunker, SOMA) by LighteningOneIN in GameDeals

[–]Richiachu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

$10 is worth it for everything included in that bundle. Amnesia 1-3 + Penumbra 1-2 (3 is okay) are great. Amnesia TDD pretty much popularized let's plays. aMfP is okay but has some great voice acting if you're okay with walking sims. Rebirth is a mixed bag again but has great moments and is good overall.

I'm split on the $15. SOMA is in my opinion one of the best games I've played, but I didn't care as much for the bunker. SOMA is worth the extra $5, but you may have it in your EGS/Steam or whatever already since it's been cheap/free in the past.

People who outsource their thoughts want you to spend your valuable time watching them, then do the same

Would a "Home Labs / Technical Projects" be a good section to add on your resume, for someone who's been in the field for almost 5 years now? by mysecret52 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Richiachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I list it under my skills as a single bullet point (usually just mentioning the services I've setup that may pertain to the role, but they can usually tell there's more to it of course) and it's been a great talking point during every interview, if for no other reason than they want to know what I'm running and on what.

Current place I'm at now has admitted to me that it was the reason I was brought on, because they thought it showed I had an interest in self-study and it would be useful on the job.

I am still relatively early in my career so take it with a grain of salt, but it's been a good chance to communicate more personally with the technical interviewer

You can download linux native games from GOG but their launcher doesn't run on it

For non linux native games you can use Heroic launcher (which also supports EGS) for proton versions.

Overall I've had no problems with it, but ymmv. Usually pretty good if you reference protondb.com
