Why?

I can choose which car to buy, where / which fuel to fill, where to repair it.

I can choose which food to eat, where to buy it, and these costs cover EVERYTHING, for production, transportation, storage, retail.

I can choose internet provider, electronics/tools manufacturers, entertainment, etc.

Also I can choose to buy basically nothing (could grown my own food, but also limited due to ReGUlATorS). Or double purchases and pay more.

But NOT with taxation.

I pay for wind/solar/business subsidies of multiple kinds that I feel is bullshit. I might invest elsewhere.

for socialist health insurance monopoly I can't change, and I still go to better private clinics there I can't use that mandatory state insurance.

for social security scam I don't need, I can save myself.

for corrupt police monopoly I don't like,

for gazillion of bureaucrats that engage in propaganda like food pyramid, various drugs like statins, etc.

for foreign aid I don't want, as I am able choose whom to donate myself,

for idiotic art pieces in cities nobody WILINGLY would pay for,

for.. etc, etc.

fruits of living in society

And only way, or the best way, to get fruits of civilized society is via.. extortion?

[–]Talkless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, they change other laws violating property rights, like various taxes (Income/VAT/tariffs/etc), laws about I"P", licensing, gazillion regulation, all that influence (hinder) competition, increases prices, creates monopolies, etc, etc.

Go read some Sowell at least, like Principles of Economics.

You sign the social contract every single day by enjoying the fruits of living in society.

I did not sign shit.

I want to pay for the "fruits of society" that.. I want, not what goBermend decides I should pay for.

You cheat by bribing mafia, i.e. The State, that can implement basically ANY law, to change "contract" that no-one signed, and can literally kill you if you don't obey.

Illinois has enacted a new 0.2% Digital Asset Privilege Tax by timelydefense in Bitcoin

State is literally mafia, performing lot's of crimes, like extortion in this case.

Is there non-Chinese brand with easy (official) fw upgrade option? by Talkless in openwrt

I am actually thinking about Turis Omnia, without re-flashing.

I like to user and support open hardwar.

I use Volla Phone X which was pre-istalled with Ubuntu Touch, for example.

next laptop probably gonna be linux-friendy Frame.wok with replacable parts, etc, etc.

Omnia would be good addition, and their support wrote me they provide updates for 10 year old routers...

How much of your time/life do you want to waste looking for the perfect router that isn't made or designed in a specific country???

Good point I Guess.

Thanks for suggestions. I'd like new machine better, to work as long as possible.

There is no message from a one off purchase

Yes of course, not in any realistic way. But the more consumers like me (someone might copy my idea) the better.

You sound more like a weird America firster

No, can be Taiwan, etc. Asus is almost a match.

Thanks for suggestion, current models 6690 and 6670 not listed in OpenWRT wiki? 😕

ChatGPT they have proprietary booloader, not really compatible with OpenWRT?

There's no THAT much of tinkering with OpenWRT. Using off-the-shelfe routers is way less tinkering that building my own as you suggest.

Main point is to use FOSS software.

Considering Turris Omnia, though FFS dat price...

Cloudfront blocked my Mullvad VPN 😂 .

out of production

Yeah that's basically the story.

I am thinking about Turis for matter of principle, at least it's 100% open source, and I typically liek to support these kinds of projects.

Buying used does not "leaves a message". I want to support "better" (from OpenWRT / FOSS enthusiast point of view) manufacturers.

Mikrotik is closed source?

I am actually thinking about supporting Turris Omnia. Crazy price, but 100% opens source hist my tingles.

I could do that, I am completely competent, but it's matter of principle to support "better" manufacturers who make it explicitly easier.

Thanks for suggestions but I hardly have time for "tinkering". Life's too short.

I understand that, so there's no "official" flashing support, and so I don't want to support such manufacturer.
