This would be easy with ssh -D 8000 remotehost. I actually do exactly this every day, but not from a Pi, and with a bunch of -L forwards too.

Configure your browser to use 127.0.0.1:8000 as a socks 5 proxy and voila.

Bonus points for having a proxy.pac file with more advanced proxy configuration logic.

It’s like in Diamond Age when Nell went to visit her brother later in the book and he spent all day consuming trashy ractives.

Today Apple released macOS 15.2 with ChatGPT integration. I wonder if this has anything to do with the outage.

For most of my life I was not interested in owning a home. Owning meant I couldn’t pick up and move or travel when I got the urge, which I did several times. One time while in a foreign country for a stay of undetermined length, I was able to contact an old landlord and secure a place to stay when I learned my return date. How would I have had a place to stay if landlords did not exist?

The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid “dens of crime” that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice.

Look at this visualization of how much money Jeff Bezos has, and then tell me that it is reasonable and justifiable.

The gateway device should definitely be up at all times, but in the real world, things don’t always go as planned.

If you only use the internet, then maybe having your AP go down when your gateway goes down is fine. For us avid self-hosters, that is unacceptable behavior.

Interesting, but at $160 the GL-MT600 is nearly twice the price of the OpenWrt One.

Good to know about though! My whole reason for asking for alternatives is I’ve had a great experience with dd-wrt in the past, and I’m sick of ubiquiti, so I’m looking ahead for my next router.

Personally I’d get standalone AP’s and hang them off a standalone switch so that if the internet gateway goes down the LAN experience is not interrupted.

Turris Omnia is 4x the price of the OpenWrt One.

with far more than 4 devices plugged in

Even more important, I don’t want layer 1 dropping on my devices just because my internet gateway rebooted, especially if I’m using DHCP.

What other hardware at this price point would you consider for running openwrt?

It’s not a great idea to have multiple layer 3’s sharing the same layer 2.

From my understanding, it only checks DNS when it initially connects, and so if the public IP changes the connection just stops working.

This is pretty standard TCP network behavior for long duration connections. The client queries dns for the IP address, opens a socket, and leaves it open as long as needed.

One thing that would help here is some kind of keepalive feature, like a client to server TCP connect or SYN, or better yet a higher level protocol signal. Check your client to see if there is some tunable keepalive. It may be set so something long like 1h.

Time for swap, aka writing things down.

Immigrants often have families in their new country. You can’t think about those people as individuals because they would likely stay for their family, which would be hard to move.

Spreadsheets are such a killer app.

Anybody know a good TUI spreadsheet app that can import and export csv, or even just a TUI csv editor? I have been unable to find one.
