It's not getting enough attention that the Trump administration has banned the sale of ALL WiFi routers made outside of the US.

@Felis_Catus_Domesticus @VeroniqueB99 That's what I thought, it's been years since I used DD-WRT. I suspect it's a whole new software by now. Getting to old for all the changes, part of the reason I won't own a cellphone. I just don't like the idea of a leash . . . 8*)
Peace
Thanks.
just get a phone that's well supported by lineage os. android that's been de-googled, and is absent all the google fuckery ain't that bad to use. more free space internally with the google cruft gone and better battery life because the phones not constantly doing shit behind your back you are unaware of and might not approve of. Also- data lines to google are stripped out of the OS. You can put them back if you wish, but by default they aren't there.

even older pixels are still quite good hardware. no need to buy the current generation for $1000+ pixels are so ahead of the curve you can get one 3-4 gens older than current and still have a very modern phone whose hardware will last you a long long time before becoming obsolete.

@VeroniqueB99 For those unaware, a PC can be used for routing. But PC's have had their own spyware chip since about 2010 (IME). A better solution is a fast Rasp. Pi (No spychip).
@shwell @VeroniqueB99 agree.

@Felis_Catus_Domesticus @VeroniqueB99 I started out with TeleType, when they put computers in that tiny little box, computers that were far more complex that the 8080-86's I just sort of gave up. . . 8*)
yeah I was at that point in the 2000's when social media was being born. All seemed like a waste of time to me. Still does, but that was one of those forks in the road of tech where it seemed like a lot of wheels were being re-invented needlessly and resources wasted, and fuckery abounding. Ditto with early smart phones. But both matured, eventually. Still, those transitions are painful. Old wisdom gets forgotten. Perhaps it was always thus.

It's not getting enough attention that the Trump administration has banned the sale of ALL WiFi routers made outside of the US. It's one of the first steps required to control Americans' use of the Internet, to spy on what you're doing online, to suppress information they don't want you to see and to even turn off the Internet at their discretion.
This is looking increasingly like a trap.

One might run OpenBSD / FreeBSD / NetBSD and free himself. Or maybe use pfsense as a commercial product you can trust. -

Naahhh...where did you read that? That would be a reason to switch to OpenBSD for sure. I mean...I'm floored right now §8-( -

@BrianAllbee @VeroniqueB99 Thanks very much. I note the US aren't touching WAP's for now which is my solution.

@as400 @mudala @VeroniqueB99 Last I knew, #FreeBSD adopted an official policy rejecting AI/LLM patch submissions. They announced that policy last year at the FreeBSD Developer Summit.
Can you provide a git commit hash or a link to LLM slop in FreeBSD?

@lattera @as400 @mudala @VeroniqueB99 there is no such policy. core is currently considering what our LLM policy should be, they did not announce it yet.

I read "Current Policy on AI-Generated Code in FreeBSD
FreeBSD is not currently accepting AI-generated code. The project has expressed concerns regarding the quality and licensing implications of using code produced by AI tools." -

@VeroniqueB99 Is there even such a thing? Even the us brands are made in China... And Trumpistan wants backdoors into the limes of cisco.

@lattera @as400 @mudala @VeroniqueB99 there is no such policy. there was some sort of pre-announcement of "we are working on a policy" which bad news organisations like heise.de reported as "FreeBSD rejects LLM code contributions".

@lw @as400 @mudala @VeroniqueB99 It's possible I might be misremembering or misunderstanding the presentation.
If I get some spare time this weekend, I'll dig deeper for that presentation.

@lattera @as400 @mudala @VeroniqueB99 i don't doubt your claim there was some sort of presentation related to this (i would be interested to know the details, actually) but as a FreeBSD committer, i can tell you, 100% for sure, we do not have a policy forbidding LLM-assisted commits.

@lw @as400 @mudala @VeroniqueB99 Understood. But I"m still curious about that claim (not made by you) that LLM slop has already made it to FreeBSD.
