Is this actually an XY Problem? What you really want to do is wire up some ethernet and get a 5 GHz access point in each room.

You can use desktop iCloud to get a local copy. From there I use Syncthing to a directory on my server that does incremental backups.

Never?

> 8 hours a decade, for over half a decade now

For a grand total of 4 hours?

Possibly stating the obvious, but make sure all your access points are on different wifi channels.

Also I know Unifi have a minimum RSSI setting that kicks off clients to a better AP when signal strength gets low. Maybe OpenWRT has a similar setting although all I found after a quick search for OpenWRT RSSI settings was this thread:

What is a "nation state"?

edit: Wikipedia says there are around 20 nation states. I don't know why you're picking those out specifically though.

Thanks, looks like I've already starred this project on github, but I can't remember why I'm not using it... I think maybe the auth token expires every few weeks and you need some manual intervention to get it working again.

I'm just trying it out and it seems not, iOS doesn't expose the photos folder to the app.

My workaround for this has been to install iCloud on a Windows machine which then downloads all the photos from my phone, and Syncthing on Windows monitors the iCloud folder and shares it with a Linux machine that does my backups. A bit convoluted but it works.

Protonmail have a free plan, whereas Fastmail only has a 30 day trial.

But at the $5/month level Fastmail appear to be much better value (30GB vs 5GB storage, support multiple custom domains vs single domain, 600 alias addresses vs only 5 at protonmail).

I also like what fastmail are doing with JMAP.

As they're both free for at least 30 days try them both out?

edit: fastmail also has good notes integration with iOS if that's of interest

> it's probably cheaper to buy a new 4 TB hard drive every month

The reason for blurays might be that he's following rule 2 of the 3-2-1 Backup Strategy. 3 backups, 2 different types of storage media, 1 copy off-site.

If your house is hit by lightning it could wipe all your magnetic and solid state drives, but optical discs would probably be ok.

I started using that since seeing it here and it's great. Also just tried this Surgeon's shoelace bow [0] and it seems good for walking boots, will be testing it out!

For anyone on Android, I never missed any task when I was using COL Reminder [0] which has repeat reminders until you mark something done.

Now I'm using iOS the closest I've found is Due [1] but it's exactly like you said, iPhone notifications are more transient and I have missed stuff.

> The system would be able to nag me more if I do not ack

This is where iOS isn't great, Due seems to get silenced or killed off if it creates too many notifications. So it would be better if there was a nagging service running somewhere else than the phone itself. Maybe an email based nag service would work, something that when a task is due it sends an email every hour until you reply saying "done" or "snooze 1 day" or whatever.

edit: Found an email based nag service - https://www.followupthen.com/how#tasks

USB-C (Type C) is just the connector type which you can work around with adapters. I guess you're looking for USB-3, but I don't think it should matter if the KVM ports are Type A or Type C.

Sounds a little bit like Google Wave.

It's probably because of the low volume. They've only sold 30 so far, and the R&D costs need to be recovered.

Have a look at some of the other articles on that site, it is some people's idea of Christian values.
