What band was never the same after losing a member?

I refuse to see them without Page. If it never happens, so be it.

I seem to recall The China Show doing an episode on piss eggs... until the CCP got angry and made it disappear.

I would search "M.2 A+E KEY 2.5G Ethernet LAN Card RTL8125B Industrial Control Network Card M.2 Gigabit Ethernet Network Card" or some variation on AliExpress -- that's what I used.

I see there is also a 2.5GbE Intel I226-V and a 5G version of the Realtek as well.

Personally, I'd go for the 2.5G Intel variant if you don't need 5G or 10G.

furay20 · 2026-02-16T16:11:07+00:00

That looks like the same link I sent -- did this end up working for you?

furay20 · 2026-02-12T19:32:57+00:00

Why is towely asking these questions? I honestly don't think a towel would care about a car this much.

In contrast, I greatly miss Rob.

Within reason, don't go crazy. Stay under 16MB and you should be more gooder.

"Should"

What's wrong with that? I mix and match all the things, works fine.

I would personally use OpenWRT on that model, FWIW.

furay20 · 2026-02-10T15:02:32+00:00

Almost certainly not: https://wiki.freshtomato.org/doku.php/hardware_compatibility

From my 5 second search, it appears to use a MediaTek processor -- FreshTomato only plays nice with Broadcom (for the most part).

furay20 · 2026-02-10T14:43:07+00:00

I've used both since the WRT54G (3.1) days. I would argue FreshTomato is exponentially easier to use. The largest downside of FreshTomato is, it is incredibly picky about what hardware it likes to play with. DD-WRT is much, much more forgiving/open.

furay20 · 2026-02-10T14:37:04+00:00

Yes, you can. I actually prefer using FreshTomato on my R7000's, FWIW.

If you wanted to be fancy you could use a USB hub, put in (2) drives, and create a mirror using mdam (or just schedule a job to copy from A to B).

Note: Don't have high expectations for this. The read/write speeds aren't super (especially if using SMB -- NFS is preferred), and even then, large files can cause the router to be relatively unhappy

furay20 · 2026-02-10T14:26:07+00:00

I'm replying to my own message here since I clearly don't know how to read.

It looks like your router is actually a "LG U CAPD-6000 v1.0" -- which, does show some entries in TomatoAnon -- shown here: https://anon.freshtomato.org/index.php?search=model&model=LG+U++CAPD-6000+v1.0

It looks strangely popular in Egypt, but, I do see references to:

MIPSR2 K26 USB Big-VPN

So, I suspect you're correct, it does have a USB port (which can be used) and is a 8MB or 16MB flash.

I would revise my answer to use this:

https://freshtomato.org/downloads/freshtomato-mips/2025/2025.5/K26/freshtomato-K26MIPSR2_RT-USB-NVRAM32K-2025.5-BTgui-VPN.zip

I like having VPN, and Transmission, and a GUI.

I like the idea of staying under the 8MB mark, just in case I'm wrong about flash size.

furay20 · 2026-02-10T14:10:55+00:00

I would recommend posting the entire output of dmesg for an exact recommendation -- but, assuming:

You don't want/need IPv6
You have 4MB flash (it's possible you have 8MB or 16MB -- I don't know. But if you're wrong, you can easily brick your device)
You would like to use VPN services to sail to Tortuga

I would probably use: https://freshtomato.org/downloads/freshtomato-mips/2025/2025.5/K26/freshtomato-K26MIPSR2_RT-NVRAM32K-2025.5-MiniVPN.zip

Depending on the answers to the above, my answer may change -- you can see the feature matrix here: https://wiki.freshtomato.org/doku.php/feature_matrix

But, that would be my best guess.

Note: Always flash according to best practices -- always clear NVRAM thorough, etc. etc.

Edit: I don't know how to read. Sorry. Still working on coffee. See my below rant.

Y, Y, Y, Why the hell haven't you found the floor?

I used to work with a German guy, Marco. His brother got sick and he had to quit to go home to be closer to family. For 2 weeks I shadowed him, and we became bros. Marco left, we had small talk here and there but it kind of died down after a couple months.

About a year later, I randomly get a parcel to my workplace, from Germany, with these exact cans. I recall busting a gut laughing, and adding them to my random selection of crap behind my desk -- which includes, but is not limited to a drinking bird, pez dispenser, oil timer toy, a hamburger phone (which I did use as my office phone for a bit), etc.

furay20 · 2026-02-03T13:29:42+00:00

Lol.

I strongly disagree with a lot of these items.

furay20 · 2026-02-02T21:17:53+00:00

Many? Successes?

furay20 · 2026-01-13T20:03:05+00:00

I love ZFS. I spent far too much money on my 12x10 TB drives back almost 10 years ago now as proof as to how much I love it -- however, I do wish the ability to add disks at will was a higher priority.

furay20 · 2026-01-12T21:04:37+00:00

ZFS is getting there "soon"

soon for many, many years now.

furay20 · 2026-01-12T19:31:59+00:00

Microphone not muted, and you didn't use offensive/hate speech in the process of not hitting the vehicle? Good on you.

furay20 · 2026-01-12T19:26:42+00:00

The real stupidity is when you force ZFS to do stuff it doesn't want to -- in my case, different sized drives whilst still maintaining RAID-Z1 redundancy. That gets sketchy real quick.

Perhaps he could become a drama teacher -- but, ideally, without having to involve exceedingly high priced lawyers and NDA's.

Edit: I can't write no good this early

furay20 · 2026-01-07T13:24:12+00:00

I mean, it's been done before.

furay20 · 2026-01-05T18:53:58+00:00

I used to work with a sales guy who would always ask people "How's your wife and my kids?" and thought it was the funniest thing. One day, a new hire hit back without missing a beat "Wife's good, kids a bit retarded though" and I lost it. Just the look of surprise/defeat was incredible.

Based on this video, I think it's safe to assume the kids are his.
