I'm moving into a new apt and the ISP is trying to rent a router at $20/mo, so I'd like to get my own router. I'm considering setting up opnsense for the router & TP link Omega for the AP & Switch. But this feels a bit overkill for an apt. Should I just get a all in one router instead? What are the pros and cons?

Basically, what the title says ~ is anyone having issue with beeper right now? Update: Seems to be working again now 🤷

Beeper ApplyingAutomation • 2 months ago • 100%

Firstly ~ I'm a huge fan of beeper! Can't wait for a paid tier to come out so I can support it. I recently got my partner on to beeper as well & I was wondering what platform do y'all prefer for messaging with other people also on beeper? At the moment we're using WhatsApp via beeper (we were using WhatsApp before) ~ I'm considering moving to matrix on beeper, but it seems much less feature complete (Can't show her profile picture on it since rooms can only have one photo for everyone, typing indicator doesn't function, etc.) I'd like to move away from Meta-owned WhatsApp. What do you suggest?

Android ApplyingAutomation • 2 months ago • 100%

I broke the screen on my pixel 7 pro, I took it to get repaired by a local shop & we discussed that I wanted an original part. They interpreted this as I want a “new” part, but not an original one. They've now done the repair with an aftermarket screen, which is much lower quality than an OEM part. I've asked them to make this right, but they say they've done what they said they'd do. I feel ripped off, but I also don't want to be unfair to the work that they've done, installing the part and all. I'm just looking for guidance on how to handle this situation? Has anyone been here before?

I've been contributing to Google Maps for a while, specifically, I usually upload pictures of menu's from restaurants, so future visitors can see them before they decide to eat there! I'm trying to degoogle my life a bit & was wondering if there is a way I could contribute these to OSM?

I have not been able to notice a pattern as to why/when this happens. But after the black screen for a few seconds, it comes back to the login page. I've updated the bios to the newest version with no success, would love some assistance at least debugging this. This is my relevant system information: 

Firefox ApplyingAutomation • 2 months ago • 100%

I've created 2 themes on https://color.firefox.com/ ~ one light themed & one dark themed. Would it be possible to configure these as a dynamic theme which follows my system's light/dark settings? (I'm using Fedora if that's relevant)

I'm in the process of replacing my entire cable line up to be entirely USB-C & I am interested in perhaps getting something like [volta spark cables](https://www.voltacharger.com/products/extra-volta-spark-cable). Has anyone tried these before?
