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.

FCC imposes sweeping ban on foreign-made routers, affecting all new models

Trump admin to decide which router makers get exemptions from FCC import ban.

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

#openbsd #freeb #netbsd #pfsense

#freebsd is already accepting LLM slop ...

Naahhh...where did you read that? That would be a reason to switch to OpenBSD for sure. I mean...I'm floored right now ยง8-(
