Looks like it might be supported by OpenWrt soon: https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tp-link_festa_f52-outdoor_v1
Status: Device support is proposed in OpenWrt PR #24903 and depends on firmware-utils PR #74. Neither PR has been merged at the time this draft was checked. No official OpenWrt image is linked here. Do not flash an EAP225-Outdoor image to the F52-Outdoor merely because their hardware is similar.
I figure these headlines are a best interpreted as a repeating reminder to degoogle.
The hints have only increased in urgency over the past couple of decades, from “we might do marketing” to “we spy on you” to “we do genocide”.
Anyway – nothing special about this headline, but finally I acted upon it: 1-2-3 backups of my google-email/photo/drive archives and reduced my google accounts to an empty skeleton (while I figure out if there’s still any third party services I’ve forgotten about reliant on that email address).
I’d mostly migrated away from google a decade ago, maybe I can dispose of this skeleton account by the end of the year.
a way to increase lock-in
Lock-in was already being achieved by mandatory use of apps which require iOS or Google Play services.
Plenty of banks etc which I can simply not use because of this requirement, and others which downgrade you to password+SMS security (used to be a physical TOTP token) if you refuse their app.
LoL @ the downvotes. Step one is acknowledging one’s addiction.
I prefer browser(web)-based banking apps which work well on a phone UI without the info-access creep.
UBank (NAB subsidary) and Wise (not a bank) both support passkeys for login in the browser. Most other banks here seem to have regressed from hardware tokens to SMS codes or proprietary apps for their MFA.
Passkeys are only as secure as your passkeys – I use Bitwarden with master password re-prompt checked for bank credentials, but I should probably switch to a hardware based passkey (at least for unlocking Bitwarden itself).
The phone apps are sometimes required to do some things (like managing passkeys for UBank, verifying ID in Wise). They work on LineageOS without the google stuff, but might be worth installing only temporarily in a separate profile or phone.
Retail payments – just use a physical card if you’re not using cash.
A few years ago I was using “Call Recorder” which seemed good at the time, but right now hasn’t had any work done on it since 2023.
It was on f-droid, but the author threw a tantrum at f-droid about donations.

What are the odds for ejabberd becoming the best matrix server implementation?
You’re all still suckling at the opium teat of corporate media, whether via torrent or not.
The replacement battery you bought in 2017 was the last of the genuine stock for that 2012 Thinkpad model. Now it’s only poor quality aftermarket. Maybe just stick with the existing genuine battery – its 47 second runtime should be enough time for AC loss to trigger a custom script to make it hibernate.
Whittaker’s phrasing is ambiguous. Could be read as expressing one of a number of things:
It’s difficult to know without a better understanding of Whittaker’s position on the various matters at hand, so I don’t know.
relayhost configured with the details of your externally hosted SMTP server.There’s nothing unusual or tricky about any of this arrangement.
(I have never used their commercial offering).
But the filtered out low frequencies will have modulated the higher frequencies of the the intended audio content. More difficult to process but the LF signal is there.
Layering false signals on top just means there’s fake locations to rule out.
