i am mad at apple today

in a way i already have a probably working airport extreme saddled to a broken drive so it won't work as an airport extreme until i use a heat gun to pry off the rubber base and then unscrew a bunch of poo poo to get the non-functional drive out (it just works)

i spent $42 on some linksys piece of poo poo on the internet because :siren: dd-wrt :siren: and then it was broken when it arrived and never worked right and then i went and got a mikrotik rb333 and an r52n card for 70 bucks total and it literally runs off of the hausbus batteries and has been rock solid i do NOT think about it for like four months now. 150 wireless connections, handles the comcast 50/20 or whatever it is perfectly fine, its just loving great

that stealth bomber router apparently has not-poo poo firmware out of box and should give me range into my backyard and i've got a $100 best buy gift card i found anyway so i'm going to buy that i guess

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
you're going to pay between 50 and 100 bucks for a nas that has the capabilities to share and store files on a network over the equivalent dumb USB external drive, so decide now if you want to spend. there is no market distinction between "just time machine backup on a network" and "dlna streaming bittorrent itunes blah blah".thats all OSS/cheap code. you still need a few hundred megahertz of cpu to handle the samba/AFP and network stack

the edgerouter lite does a million packets per second for $99
add a nanostation or two for 49 each
you now have a network that will work for a decade and you will never think about it

an edgerouter lite would cost min $120 in canada and a nanostation is another $100 plus i'd have to run a dedicated pc or buy an actual nas enclosure to get my lovely backup solution going. also i want four ethernet ports so edgerouter lite would be out regardless

eh maybe i'll just stick with the airport express and backup to usb drives, :effort:
