@lexinova that being said it is only a matter of proper configuration to get reliable roaming on any equipment. Key is to NOT turn transmit power up to max., thereby preventing clients from selecting the best AP.

The newer Mikrotik devices have much better radio interfaces now and are well usable.

There is little wrong with buying other devices and putting Openwrt on them. I just don’t really want to support manufacturers shipping shitty software.

@lexinova you can build (or buy) a very capable router/firewall with opnsense. If the DIY aspect is attractive I’d go that way. I did that for a while and eventually switched to Mikrotik as I wanted a minimum-moving-parts setup for my infrastructure (which is not a homelab - it needs to function damn near 100%).

WiFi APs are a different story. I have Mikrotik there also and their Capsman works well but Unifi have the usability edge for roaming.

@muhyb I don’t know what a ghost file would be but you’re probably looking for /proc/uptime. Which you can read but obviously not write to.

@moira thanks, yeah! My preferences align quite well with that, interesting. 😄

The Neptune and Sovol are high on the list, though I am strangely fascinated by Deltas (I partly blame @Tay0 for that) and Klipper so the V400 is at the top right now. Prusa would be a good choice also I’m sure, I know a couple ppl who have them and like them a lot.
@mibzman

@moira very interesting, thank you! I’ll have to keep that in mind.

Still trying to decide on my first filament printer. So far I’ve only been printing small models in resin.
@mibzman

@moira I had never heard of PHA before, thanks for that. Are the print settings radically different from PLA? Thanks!

BTW, I can see your attached pictures just fine in Tusky on Mastodon. 👍
