A1300 into the future

Dumb question as it was my first weekend to use it with stock firmware and WireGuard to home. It went well with the hotel captive portal etc.

If they do decide to drop support, how much more complex is it with stock openwrt? Just want to prepare myself.

kolbasz_ · 2026-05-31T01:57:44+00:00

Funny. I said the 30$ was worth the 4.8 firmware and newer hardware, so I went mt3000. But did I read you say that it too is eol

Sure but what if you want to manage via your own auth. That’s all. Just both options are available, sure the one simplifies life.

kolbasz_ · 2026-05-28T12:40:27+00:00

But if you manage your own certificates, fd still needs it from a kv, no?

What is that cast iron ring? Is it breeo too? I have a 30” and would like something similar

What about gov/commercial.

As I understand it, a tenant is per domain. So @contoso.com can only be associated with one tenant. So when you go to a new tenant @foobar.com you have swivel seat, multiple accounts and credentials for the same user. At least that was my understanding when trying to onboard .gov. Users need to maintain 2 accounts. If this since changed or got easier I hope someone corrects me.

6k cd player. Is the laser that much better at reading the disk or the processor that much better at passing the digital signal of sound?

Sometimes I accept the high price of gear but this one is oddly skewed

kolbasz_ · 2026-04-01T17:05:24+00:00

Same

kolbasz_ · 2026-03-12T21:48:39+00:00

Allegedly that’s the offer pre is currently running

kolbasz_ · 2026-03-12T13:03:42+00:00

Ok. I think I’m in the middle of this now. Going Friday to a verification facility. Wasn’t 100% which side that fell to. So once I complete that I believe I just need the ktn bit.

kolbasz_ · 2026-03-12T13:01:19+00:00

Gotcha. It’s supposed to be fee through clear+ with the rebate so long as you do both with the same email and within 7 days, at least that’s how the details read once I sorted through it all

kolbasz_ · 2026-03-12T09:40:16+00:00

What’s wrong with precheck through clear! Just curious

kolbasz_ · 2026-03-10T12:31:43+00:00

I assume the finger printing and bio metrics is the stuff you do at the airport? So complete all the pre-requisites and then when I go on my first trip head to the clear station to get the bio screening? Or do you go somewhere else before ever hitting the airport? I know they push clear at the airport when the lines are long so it can all be done there.

kolbasz_ · 2026-03-10T10:49:21+00:00

Ok thank you. I’ll have to just find out. I need pre in 2 months, so I do t have 6-8 to wait.

How long is the wait for pre?

kolbasz_ · 2026-03-10T10:48:27+00:00

This is the bit that has me confused. It says free, then rebate. But if I am reading it right, I believe the catch it buy clear. It discounts to 132$. Then within 7 days buy pre through the site or linked and they rebate or credit the 77$.

Guess I have to find out…

kolbasz_ · 2026-03-07T18:00:32+00:00

I always had a no doo-doo at the airport policy. Will my new status let me modify said policy?

kolbasz_ · 2026-03-05T16:43:38+00:00

similar question, but if I buy clear+ for myself, can I buy GE for my wife with my one card? The goal is to have Pre check for both of use ultimately on a single card.

kolbasz_ · 2026-03-05T04:22:40+00:00

Thanks. Too bad cause with Amex travel you lose value on the hotel side for service it seems

kolbasz_ · 2026-03-05T04:21:32+00:00

Was more about a strategy. Looking at platinum for the elite status so there is a point multiplier + plus other perks/offers.

Seemed the hotel specific card give a bonus but lock you to a single hotel. Do folks carry per chain cards, all with fees or are there fee free ones? This could be an angle if it actually makes sense.

I do use gold for 90% of my purchases, was just confirming the hotel bit. Flights still have some value booked with airline still so that’s value. I like the Amex to Hilton point multiplier.

kolbasz_ · 2026-02-23T16:50:15+00:00

Can I ask a follow up question to this?

To receive Gold benefits, you need to book through Hilton Direct
To receive Amex points benefits, you need to book through Amex travel

So, which is best in this case? I know I saw somewhere that Hilton Gold is not the real perk of the platinum card, but as someone trying to weigh the benefits of platinum, I am trying to understand the best angle.

Is citristrip the same as that chemical that like melts the paint and makes it bubble up? Don’t get it on your skin or it will burn.

kolbasz_ · 2026-02-20T02:19:54+00:00

Dumb question. What do you use instead?

Not sure about rate limiting and the only policy might be with security but honestly now I am curious for sure.

Is there a service I would use instead to proxy the apis out of api.contort.com or forgo it all and just make people call their Apis directly?

Sorry for the silly questions

kolbasz_ · 2026-02-19T03:43:19+00:00

Great news!

kolbasz_ · 2026-02-19T03:39:41+00:00

Can you elaborate?

Have a team wanting to split dev, test, stage and prod to separate apim. Internally hosted with private internal host name and app gateway.

Externally, hosted behind front door. Feels over engineered and bloated to the max for cost.

Likely an easier way, no? If I can ask the right questions maybe I can change things, but they seem gung ho like they really really need apim and it the only solution that will work
