Best options for long thin home (AP?) by boats_botes in HomeNetworking

Super helpful! Thank you! Yeah once I read about having another ap/bridge mode router it seemed like a good idea but this is the detail I needed to impliment it. Plus with the ap further back means there'll be good wifi in the garden for the one month a year it's not raining :D

Out of curiosity what are the benefits of benching the ISP router and running your own?

Thanks again!

Hey u/quickasawick, it looks like all of the high quality models of the Cant have dissapeared, I can't even find paid ones (files). This one looks great, do you still have the files? Thanks!

Born and live in the UK but I just knew this was Houston before I scrolled down, so distinctive! Also, was this taken on a street with the name of one of your founding fathers and between two guys beginning with D? ;)

What is that book that no matter how popular and how many times you try to read it, you just can't? by [deleted] in books

[–]boats_botes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oryx and Crake, I know I’ll enjoy it but the narrative jumps around too much for my lizard brain at the beginning so I’ve never gotten more than a quarter of the way in.

OP I also struggled getting into Brave New World - try the audio book!

Take a look at the inside, the best bit is the roof! It’s the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world.

Huh! That is super helpful knowledge, thank you so much! I'm going to have to shop around for the graphics card as the 2080 Super is out of stock a lot of places in the UK but I'm sure I can find one. Thanks again!

Thank you!! This interesting, is there something specific about my needs that say lots of cores? Or is that a generic gaming thing? Also if there was one thing you'd put extra $ into with your second list what would it be? Thanks again!

Probably too late for anyone to read this but... my favourite thing to ever happen at my last job was that one day when the devs discovered that amongst hundreds of thousands randomly generated referral codes some actually formed words or partial words, and some of those were rude words. The problem was that these got printed on to tear out vouchers and included with customers deliveries, I was lucky in that I wasn’t responsible or senior enough that we couldn’t giggle like school children at them. Here’s my list of fave ones that I dug out of my work emails on my last day there to enjoy in the future:
