I’m glad it worked out. IIRC, the Cudy can run OWRT as well. Assuming it doesn’t have a bulging capacitor of course ha.

The folks over at the OWRT project deserve the thanks, to be honest 🙂

That is a fair statement. In today’s world, it’s the only truly safe option.

However, it’s not always realistic for some people to do… for various reasons.

Sadly, hoping for the best is the only viable option these days.

You are welcome! I hope OpenWRT works out for you!!

I’ve deleted multiple Google accounts in the past. The experience was pretty straight forward. Nothing out of the ordinary that I remember.

I went through and deleted everything first… photos, docs, history, etc. If I recall, I tried to delete any info not required for the account. I think at the time I may have address info that I removed.

Walked through the process and account was deleted.

Do I trust them to delete everything? No, which is why I did what I could before removing the account. Also, that account really won’t be deleted, it will be marked as such and you can’t reuse your Gmail address but the actual account will still be around.

Most companies are like that… I said most, please don’t flame me about all the companies that actually remove accounts 😆

If you have an account and want to delete it, clean it up first, wait a bit, then follow the process. Not much else you can really do.

Fair enough DD is also a good choice!!

Last I looked one of the typical Linksys recommended model (WRT series) hadn’t been updated in a while in DD.

OpenWRT also had a ton of “internet support”…. or a little more than DD, again last time I looked.

I currently use a Synology, because I don’t have the mental energy to tinker right now 🙂

If you are somewhat tech savvy start here: OpenWRT

Saved for a rainy day… might give it a try!

Yeah, that was a very little sleep for a few days after kinda movie.

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing the “why” behind this bringing you happiness!!

This is true, for many happiness can be found in nature. Let’s hope we continue to have a planet in the next few years!!

Thanks for posting!!

I didn’t… I stumbled in to it, by accident, realized I knew what I was doing, found a full time job. It pays the bills now… but man it’s not fun anymore.

To be honest, “what do I do with my life” is not the right question.

What do you want to do as a career, is different. You can have a career / job and still do “other things with your life”.

Separate the two… find something you can tolerate that pays well (as another poster said), then go find things that make you happy when you do them for enjoyment.

Feathery murder scene, that made me laugh!! Cats will do that 🙂

Thank you!! I’ll add it to the list of things to watch… eventually 🙂

Thank you so much for the links!! I will check them out when I have a few minutes. I also hope a few others find them useful or interesting and give them a look.

I wish I were smarter about plants. I’m not sure what genus they would be in. I just know, I can’t kill them if I try. It makes the front of the house look nice and I don’t have to do anything 🙂

Thanks for hug, right back at you!!

I really appreciate your perspective and what you’ve brought to the conversation. True, not everything has to be a “thing” to have joy, happiness, etc. It’s cool, you are able to see that value in your world 🙂

As an aside, I have no sense of smell… which does have its perks!!

It’s great you’re in a place where simple things are what you focus on!!

Nothing was interrupted as patronizing or reductive. We all have different perspectives and views. Different feelings on a subject, etc. it’s all good.

I really hope the family matters resolve themselves!!

Again, thank you so much for the post!!

I was completely unaware you could make homes for ants! I appreciate this post purely for the educational value!!

I salvaged some Spider Wort and that stuff is growing like crazy. I don’t even do anything to it.

Appreciate the kind words. Again, thank you for posting!!

Cool! I used to be into the tech thing… now, I’ve given up 😂

I remember getting Gentoo set up once but, couldn’t daily drive it. Just wasn’t for me.

I hope the move to Gentoo is seamless!!

Thank you!!

Sounds like the simple things are your vibe! That’s awesome! I can’t remember the last time a ate a French fry 🤔

Soooo, looking up Bug Fish gave a ton of responses. Care to let us know which Big Fish you are referring to?

Really appreciate you posting!!

I hope it is really successful and you go on to record many more!!

Good luck!!!
