I love their switches but for routing/firewall I stick to PFSense.

Personally I use OpenWRT for access points.

HDtracks.

That being said if you're buying FLACs from major labels for $40 while indie bands release albums in FLAC via band camp for $3, you're a chump.

The members of Led Zeppelin that are still alive don't need the money nearly as much, and even if they did most of it isn't going to them anyways.

Most redditors and twitter users where too lazy to make the jump because the idea of more than one instance is somehow confusing.

The ones who even knew are the ones who are usually considered more computer literate than the average bear, since most people don't know what fediverse is.

Lower your bar.

Bought judges belong against a wall, so that we can pick them last in dodgeball.

Yeah but it was a luxury, and most likely an RX-only unit that only had a GPS radio. Even if you had a 2g cell radio in the 90's in your car it'd be incredibly limited, and horrendously expensive for something you could carry in your pocket.

These days even the cheapest model of Honda Civic will have a modern internet connected network of microcontrollers and computers which all receive OTA updates, many of which handle telemetry.

You also have to assume that your government has never illegally obtained data it shouldn't have in a shady manner.

It also doesn't bode well for what happens if your country falls into fascism, as all that data will still exist to be systematically, and retroactively used against you.

The former is true, however anyone who's ever looked at firewall logs will tell you plenty of skids are trying to get free domestic US IP addresses off of vulnerable home networks using automated means.

That being said that has really has jack shit to do with personal privacy/security against state-scale dragnet surveillance.

If you have a device that's actively connected to a cellular network, and has been while in your home or work, then your only option is to leave it behind or turn it off. That includes your car if it was made in the past decade, if nothing else, so it can catch OTA firmware updates, and send telemetry data.

GPS and location services don't mean shit when your carrier keeps logs of where you've been based on cell-tower triangulation.
