It's been interesting posting to Threads. I get more people interested and responding to my posts than I do here.

The downside is a bunch of them are hateful Trump supporters.

Trying to setup a Raspberry Pi travel router to replace my old RavPower FileHub. Been playing with the RaspAP project, but I've read that it doesn't work will with captive portals (which almost all hotels use now).

Saw some people claim that OpenWRT + TravelMate would work better.

Anybody have any experience with either one?

Hollywood Fun Fact: Tony Soprano actor James Gandolfini's last name is Italian for "Tiny Gandalf". (His ancestors were huge Lord of the Rings fans.)
Imperial Scientist: "Emperor Palpatine, we have successfully cloned Darth Maul, except 1/8th his size."
Emperor: "Excellent. I will call him... Darth Smaul."

My Old Mac Wishlist:
- Clamshell G3 iBook
- G4 Cube
- PowerMac G4 (graphite color scheme)
- "Trashcan" Intel Mac Pro

A Newton PDA would be cool to have too. Of course I have nowhere to display all this hardware at the moment.

Dammit, the IT department forced an update to my work laptop and upgraded it to MacOS Tahoe. 🤮🤮🤮
Sorry I haven't been posting here much lately. I've been spending more time on Threads (username: RobBender). Yeah, it sucks to use another big corporate platform, but I feel like my posts actually get noticed there. Sorry :/
So how much longer before Trump just blatantly says or posts the N-word in public?
Could TechBros have picked a *worse* time in modern history to introduce computers that can generate realistic-looking fake photos and videos?
How can "hot as balls" and "cold as balls" both be a thing? Is this one of those quantum reality paradoxes? (Schrödinger's Balls)?
