@feddit.nlLooks like the same over on Reddit, it's really sad. For a while I got sooo much excitement following Pine64. I feel like I was just working to make money to buy everything they were developing!
I agree about the USB Ethernet dongle. Unless you only require short distance wifi range (eg hotel room temp router) the radio in the pi isn't going to be enough
I built a pi4 router a few years ago, and it's still running great, I recommend the project. But unfortunately I can't find the HOWTO and it was before I started taking good notes. I assume your current router is a phone company supplied modem/router?
My setup is cable modem-->pi router-->switch--> old netgear router in Access point only mode
Being that your router/modem is upstream of router, I'm not sure if you could pass-through the WAN to the pi router, and pass back the LAN to the router/modem for the wifi... maybe someone on here can shed some light?
Yes this is in addition to the normal alarm. The light is incase I'm sleeping, as I may not hear the basement alarm going off. The notification is if I'm not home.
The last I knew in the US you have a choice to remove it yourself, you can be as safe or unsafe as you see fit, there a very few rules. Or you pay a company which must follow strict regulation on its removal.
This thought came to me this morning. I have 4 machines both because the BEAST grows organically, and because we're always trying to avoid that single point of failure. Then a scenario comes along that makes you question your whole way of thinking, diversifying may actually create more problems
I didn't mean to imply that Services actually broke. Only that they didn't come back after a reboot. A clean reboot may have caused some of the same issues because, I'm learning as I go. Some services are restarted by systemctl, some by cron, some....manual. This is certainly a wake up call that I need standardize and simplify the way the services are started.
