The link wouldn't work for me either, but I googled the banana pi openwrt one link, and found this page which has 3 Ali express pages to buy from:

Been running OpenWRT for 16 years (okay some of those years was dd-wrt, and LEDE.. But you get the point.)

Using them as dumb AP's is what I really appreciate openwrt for.. I can buy consumer grade hardware and get an actually stable experience as a WiFi AP. Not the typical "oh the WiFi is slow/stopped working? You have reboot it twice a month!" You get with the manufacturer's shit software. I have a full opnsense box that handles firewall duties and vpn's etc.. So I really only like and need the stability of the hardware as an AP.

I also stock pile WiFi routers running OpenWRT and give them to friends that don't have a lot of money when I help with tech upgrades, knowing the WiFi router will be rock solid and not cause any issues. They truly are 'set it and forget it' units.

Knew that was coming, at some point... I wonder if anyone grabbed copies of the git repos.

Wait, what episode? I started watching Orville but got distracted and didn't finish past season 1 I think.

Looking for an app to reorganize my old MP3 collection in c/[email protected]

Can't believe that project is still going, I used to use it in early 2000's to organize my 20,0000 mp3 collection back then. I've since switched to spotify/YouTube, so don't have too many mp3's I listen to anymore, but man, the name brings me back.

What was your last refund? Why did you get your last refund? in c/asklemmy

[–] lemmy_user_838586 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Lol... Yeah, don't buy things like phones or laptops from amazon. Other gadgets seem to be a better bet (like bluetooth speakers, smart watches, etc) but for some reason laptops and phones seem to be the most scammed.

Dunno why your reply isn't showing up, so I'll just state it for the rest: their reply was: "8."

Yeaaah, don't use open office, it hasn't had any code updates in like 15 years. Use and suggest libre office instead.

Oh boy, I get to excite you with the news of SkyBlivion, a community project to recreate the Oblivion game in the skyrim engine. Its been in development since 2013, and they say they have a 2025 release date scheduled but as I've been following this project and SkyWind (Morrowind remade in Skyrim's engine) for years, I wouldn't hold your breath on a 2025 release.
