I’m familiar with writing images, but I’d be crafting it myself since there’s no official one from Alpine Linux for the specific SoC.

It’s exactly that, I’m simply interested in running Alpine Linux on it.
Have you confirmed that with something like https://www.dnsleaktest.com? DNS leaks are common so it’s good to check.
Shit, I’m a web developer and I’m fed up with all the ads, tracking and stalking that goes on. It’s so ingrained like “why not use Google for analytics?” or “just host it on Amazon.” 90% of the services we use at work I refuse to use at home (and go as far as outright blocking them).
I love Linux but I wish the BSDs weren’t getting left behind.
For the record, I really like macOS and Apple products as my “consumer” devices but all my side projects, web servers, routers, etc. run Linux. I ran FreeBSD for a long time until I got into containerization and Docker.
I just built a DIY router on Alpine Linux. I don’t want to deal with an entire web UI and all that trash. I just want minimal Linux and some ip6tables
.
What gets me is people migrating from VMs treating it like an entire host machine.
There is a lack of knowledge among developers regarding precompiling assets and classes (if interpreted), and people are trying to do too much in startup scripts.
Another thing I hate is wrapping the entire process in a script because people want to kill the main process without restarting the container. Yikes!
I can’t fault you for that. I’m not trying argue they’re perfect devices by any means.
I use Beeper because I can’t stand all these fucking apps. Preferably everyone would switch to Signal but that won’t happen.
I really love what Ubiquiti is trying to do, but I understand where you’re coming from. I ditched the EdgeRouter X because I just couldn’t do anything really advanced with it.
I don’t have a Dream Machine nor a 192.168.0.0/16 network but my access point receives an IP via DHCP from a non-Ubiquiti router just fine. In fact, the controller running in Docker doesn’t even come up itself after a power failure so I’m really lost on what you’re talking about here.
I use (paid) Apple News, and I really enjoy it. Are there no other “pay once” platforms out there?
My only complaint is that some articles still show ads despite being subscribed, but that’s taken care of with DNS-based ad blocking (though you have to also block a a hostname pointing to an Apple DoH server which I find funny).
…isn’t it in a lot of countries? I read it was kind of a big deal when this started in the US.
Those websites (and tons of others) will tell you who your ISP appears to be. Whether or not a service considers it a datacenter isn’t set in stone, but usually it’s easy to tell based on what’s shown there.
Edit: If you’re getting the captchas it’s probably because you appear to be on a VPN.
Are you familiar with web development by chance? Can you see anything in your browser’s developer tools like failed XHR/fetch requests? I’m kind of wondering if they’re doing something specific since you said traffic is flowing as expected on other websites.
If your VPN exits from a datacenter (common with VPN and cloud providers) it could be that while their website wasn’t smart enough to block you, the server the content streams from is and is refusing to stream the content. This would probably show up as a failure in the developer tools (HTTP 401 Unauthorized, some JSON with an error, etc).
As they should.
Oh wow, I didn’t notice.
This isn’t great advice because dictionary attacks exist. Password crackers are smart enough to replace letters/numbers switched around too; at least that was the case back in 2009 when I cracked ~20 passwords in half a second.
“Password is too long” when it’s like, 16 characters 😒
I do! I am self-taught but now have a great career going in it. My only complaint is that once you start requiring very specific gems, you’ll find a bunch of unmaintained stuff. Ruby was hyped up a lot in the beginning, kind of declined during the Node.js fad but is becoming a lot more stable and continues to show a ton of progress.
These days if you want to get your foot in the door you can find work upgrading Rails versions as a lot of companies seemed to have released apps a long time ago then lost track of time.
Realizing most of this sounds pretty negative but it’s a beautiful language that I love working in every day. The language is so flexible/usable that outsiders complain that it can encourage bad habits simply by being so maleable — my recommendation is to really know the difference between plain Ruby and Ruby on Rails.
