Obviously I mean total blindness and not legally blindness, where some vision can still be there.

Lemmings that know a blind person can also pitch in.

Edit: Resolved! The ISP added a BS suffix ".net" to my username, deleting it fixed the Auth issue.

Hi guys!

I'm having trouble migrating from TP-Link A7 v5 stock firmware to OpenWRT.

Specifically I'm having trouble connecting to my ISP via PPPoE.
Before the migration - the router connected w/o fancy PPPoE settings (MTU,VID...) to my ISP.

Here's my network setup:

1. FTTH
2. Nokia G-010G-Q GPON
3. TP-LINK Archer A7

Before migration - I took notice the mac address under "Internet" section in
"Status" tab under "Advanced" page on my router's admin web portal

Because I vaguely remember that my ISP technician paired the GPON to a MAC address

I have copied my PPPoE credentials from my ISP web portal,
and also cross reference them against the saved credentials in the TP-Link portal.

Post migration - I configured my WAN interface to use PPPoE , entered my credentials,
made sure that the WAN MAC address is the same as before,
and all I'm getting is AUTH_TOPEER_FAILED

I've exported my /etc/config/network here

I've also exported the output of logread -f | grep ppp here

After several trial and errors - I have given up and tried to use TFTP method to revert the
firmware back to to the TP-LINK stock firmware, also w/o much success
I used a Windows machine running tftpd64 , downloaded the latest firmware from here
renamed the file to "ArcherC7v5_tp_recovery.bin"
placed the file in tftpd64 server directory ("C:\Program Files\Tftpd64")
changed my LAN settings to 192.168.0.66 / 255.255.255.0 / 192.168.0.1
and performed the recovery boot steps.
I watched the logs of tftpd64 being filled with the download attempt,
watched it succeeds , watched the router quickly flashing the power LED,
but no matter how many times I attempted this - the router goes back to load OpenWRT.

Can someone help me either revert back to the stock firmware or help me fix my PPPoE settings?

I have a fairly old XBox Series X that is for a while unplugged from power and Ethernet.
Since buying it in 2020 I've been radicalized into running Linux on everything, and if not Linux, then at least a FOSS OS.
Did enough time was passed to be able to root the device/dual boot?
Any distro support XBox's hardware?

I'm coming into this area as a practical and philosophical result of:

1. me wanting to own my music
2. CDs are barely being made
   2.1. If they are - they're not being shipped to my corner of the world
3. Torrenting often failed me in terms of variety.

However - I am absolutely ignorant about equipment, maintainance, and know-hows of the audiophile world.

Looking forward for a trip to London.
Can I find System76/Framework laptop in retail stores?

I'm mostly sailing the high seas, using the tv as a giant monitor for the always-on laptop connected to it. I'm afraid of the 1984-esque "You must connect to the internet to continue using this TV" that might come after some time.

You are in an empty room, standing near a wall facing the opposite wall. You roll a ball and measure the time it takes the ball to hit the opposite and reach back to you.

You repeat this again - but now in the middle of the way there is a time traveling portal, and in the other side is the same middle of the room but in 1969. The ball maintained its speed vector in the transition.

How long does it take the ball to reach you?

What optimization do these kind of apps use?

Here's how I understand the issue:
A keyfob is a radio Transmitter. To unlock your car you need the radio transmission to reach the car. The keyfob doesn't transmit a signal when at rest. Therefore putting a keyfob in a Faraday bag achieves nothing.

Looking to migrate away from APS as it is no longer in active development.
I need a solution that will still enable me to add/remove/change passwords from an Android device, a Linux device, and have all changes sync-up. (In GNU-pass-based APS, it's achieved by a git repo that saves passwords as gpg encrypted files) Preferably, I want it to still be self hosted, F-Droidable, and maybe a migration guide or tool to ease the transition.

Thanks!

I recall that subdomains are their own record inside a DNS, which would imply that anyone can claim that their server is a non-existent subdomain of the real domain

Are they breaking Widevine? Are they circumventing it? If the end result is an analog audio signal and (a ton of) RBG on/off signals - why can't I as a normal consumer capture it using some store bought gyzmo?

I'm refering to this
I've also seen it happen to a single letter in that string

If proper CPR involves compressing the chest so much such that the ribcage might break - doesnt that breakage risks a bone puncturing the heart?

It happened recently for me - I imagined I'm trying to cancel a gym membership and the gym isgivinfg me a hard time.

I dont have a gym membership at all.

At age 16, against my normal nature , I've asked out my then crush who was my schoolmate.

(In retrospect, it was only sexual attraction, cause her personality was abysmal..)

I say "ask out" but it was one of the childish "wanna be my gf" sort of thing. I didn't have (nor do I have now) "game".
My only valid pretense for hanging with her , and not actually planning a date, was studying together for tests.

Neverthelesss, the excitement and the rush after she showed interest in me was overwhelming , and I spiraled out of control.
I became clingy , needed and over the top in love.

It all came crashing down when I saw her avoiding me while looking afraid and creeped out.
That face is burned into my retina, and all I can think about when I even think about stepping into that arena again.

I'm 31 now, still painfully alone - but with the added bonus of feeling like expired milk and overrun with anxiety and depression.

I'm telling myself again and again that I'm doing the best with the cards I've been dealt with , and partnership or intimacy is just not one of those cards.
I try to keep busy and focus on work - because one moment of boredom sends me to a variety of really dark places.

I know that some day the pattern of eat-sleep-job-repeat won't be enough, but I'm repressing that thought like hell right now.

Thank you guys for creating this sub BTW, much needed.
