This iFixit video reminded me how cool the FairPhone actually is and I realized it makes me a bit sad that the Linux crowd currently doesn't work much with those devices :/

Looking for wifi AP recommendations
I have a Ubiquiti Unifi AP but don't like the overhead of running the Unifi controller tool, nor that Ubnt collect user metadata.
I'd like something useful for me (advanced user) that I can also recommend for "normal people", whom I can help with the configuration.
The Mikrotik cAP ticks many boxes as a replacement, but I *hate* their complicated management UI. Is it worth learning, or are there better alternatives?
I don't often link to Twitter statuses, because.... Twitter, but this one was funny. I'll quote so you don't have to click the link, but you can if you want to.

5d into using the #PinePhone +#mobian+PhoSh.
I made it mine through:
* "bricking" it (it is very HARD to _actually_ brick as it boots in priority from a micro-SDcard.. and the issue was documented)
* trying 10+ OSes on it
* apt dist-upgrade
* apt install stuff
* editing config files and boot loader with vi
* querying the baseband
* adding custom script in /usr/local/bin
* importing data through NextCloud
I feel that joy, curiosity and excitement i didn't feel in computing for a while! #Libre

Damn this nonsense makes my blood boil. And I am of very calm kind...

Plan for today's afternoon is work on compressing all my image albums from google #photos and migrating them to #nextcloud... or at least get started 😂

#Capitalism is meant to be about private firms taking risks and reaping the rewards. The #rail network on the other hand is about the public taking the risk and racking up huge debts, even while the private firms reap excessive rewards.
