    For me probably Terry Pratchett’s dwarves. Or TBH quite a lot of his characters…

    I’d split your network into 3 vlans. One for home, one for IoT and one for guest access (probably over WiFi). That way your firewall can handle the access rules.

    Suggestions for a 4/5G router

    I’m having to use a 4g router (from Three in the UK), as the wired internet is rubbish. I’d like suggestions for a 3rd party router 4&5G compatible for future proofing. It needs to support bridge mode (to avoid having to double NAT) and ideally support IPv6 as three support that as well. I don’t need WiFi. Any suggestions welcome & thanks.

    I’m not sure, but from a web search this may have some bearing: “Kaspar Hauser of Nuremberg, Germany”.

    Just conjecture, as I can find no other references that make sense.

    I’m not an expert (at all), but I presume that opening a door into a thoroughfare risks hitting someone with the door but opening into a room only risks a person ready to leave (and approaching the door head on?)

    Just thoughts…

    I wholeheartedly agree with your statement. But I believe in small steps. I haven’t been on Reddit since the API announcement on /r/Apollo. I won’t be back, I absolutely love the idea of a platform that isn’t owned by someone - in the same way I love an open source project.
