[06:29] <greg-g> "As mentioned previously, DDoS attacks are a sad fact of life in doing digital business. If Wikipedia, one of the largest media sites in the world, can be impacted, your business can be too. Clearly, taking proactive remediation steps to be prepared makes an awful lot of sense if, unlike non-profit Wikimedia, your digital business is built for the purpose of generating revenue."
[06:29] <greg-g> aka "Even those hippies need protection, and you should too if you try to make money!"
[06:30] <greg-g> do they not realize that non-profits also raise money?
[06:52] <greg-g> what's the new home wifi router I should get?
[12:18] <cmaloney> greg-g: That sounds like a "I have this great idea about selling my business and need to work backwards to make Wikipedia git this somehow".

[13:56] <jrwren> wifi is a lie. it never goes faster than 300mbit. N or AC it doesn't matter. CMV. :p
[13:57] <jrwren> greg-g: wait a couple years for wifi6?
[14:57] <mrgoodcat> i have an archer c7 and it works great. theres probably an update now
[14:58] <greg-g> yeah, that's what I was looking at the c7
[14:58] <greg-g> er, no, the A7
[14:58] <jayis> is that the Amazon7
[14:59] <jayis> it's the same thing as the C7 except with Alexa afaik
[15:15] <mrgoodcat> do not want to talk to my router
[15:15] <mrgoodcat> what would i even say to it
[15:23] <jrwren> "block facebook"
[15:23] <jrwren> "block google"
[15:23] <jrwren> and it does the right things.
[15:23] <jrwren> then... "block amazon" and you can never issue it an alexa command again.
[15:24] <greg-g> hmm, maybe?
[15:25] <greg-g> I guess I want the C7 then :)
[15:25] <mrgoodcat> jrwren: i tell my pihole to do those things
[15:29] <jrwren> mrgoodcat: me too, and a nice bind with views, so that some client hosts aren't blocked and others are.
[15:29] <jrwren> I wish pihole supported views.
[15:36] <jayis> greg-g: hardware is identical afaik
[15:36] <jayis> I don't care about what's on it because I run OpenWRT but every time I look for a cheap router for OpenWRT the options seem to decrease
[15:37] <jayis> something something broadcom something
[15:38] <jrwren> i wonder if openwrt would be more stable than the tplink crap that crashed on me ever couple of months.
[15:39] <jrwren> it is so weird, the 2Ghz wifi still forwards packets, but the 5Ghz SSID disappears. It doesn't route, so I have no idea how much more would be down if it did.
