Get the F off our lawn and stop dumping your rubbish on it!

The idea is to run OpenWRT passing through the ISP NIC and one (or both) of the SFP+ ones going to the switch, and also run other services in isolated containers.

I'm even thinking about putting Home Assistant on a VM on it but I'm not sure yet what impact it will have on routing performance so that's on hold for now.

It's so much more powerful than what I need for the router/firewall that it should be comfortable to run quite a few things on it, and I can start moving them off it to other devices if Internet speeds catch up to it in the future.

Not sure what you mean about bridging either.

I've never had a use for proxy ARP so wouldn't know, but I do know it's possible to enable it. If not on the GUI, at least on the CLI.

I haven't been able to find many other devices that tick so many boxes. These seem to exist on a class of their own.

It's the only cable I connect to my laptop when I sit on my desk. It provides power, a webcam, wired ethernet and speakers (not the built-in ones which are actually not the worst but still bad).

I also have a CX OLED and I concur the image is best in class - though I wish it was a tad brighter. I have it connected to the Internet but I limit what it can connect to using Egress Eddie on my router, which means it can do Ad-Free YouTube and a couple other streaming services - as well as a selection of websites from the built-in browser.

I promptly admit I may have misunderstood something though.

The puck comes with the controller. You connect a cable to it. Do you mean there's a whole puck inside the machine?

Or is "puck" now shorthand for a wireless controller adaptor? What about the actual physical puck, with the cable and the magnets?

I had one of their washing machines. Purchased about 18 months ago. The dispenser drawer broke. I'm pretty sure it was bad out of the factory but it did last for this long, so I was happy to shell out for a new one.

Turns out they don't exist. LG have a website where you can search for the part. It's not in stock. They told me to fill out a form on a website they own, giving the part number. A third-party spare parts shop emailed me back saying they don't have the part in stock and that I should contact the manufacturer.

I found one that may or may not be the correct one and there's no way to know for sure before purchasing it. It costs almost £100 and takes 3 weeks to ship.

After days of this ordeal and laundry piling up, I decided to cut my losses and buy a Bosch. That one seems pretty great so far.

This is part of the controller, not the Machine. Unless you mean software integration, then it's on SteamOS and the Steam client, both of which can run on custom hardware.

Note that I do think reading is superior. This is not to diminish anyone who chooses to listen to books. Some people do it because of accessibility, some because of time (can listen while commuting, or in the gym), or they just choose to listen to some books they don't care as much whilst still read the ones they do.

This is all great and people should be encouraged to do what works for them - but please don't pretend it's the same. Sometimes I even think we need a different word for reading e-books.
