That’s exactly why I want OpenWrt on my router. To have that kind of control.

Anyway your answer is completely unrelated to my question.

The modem manufacturer might send traffic data to themselves. But the modem would need router capabilities for that, wouldn’t it?

Thank you!

After posting this yesterday when lying in bed trying to sleep (i posted directly before going to bed) I thought of a similar reason:

Since (as far as i understood it) a modem is just a device that converts between 2 different types of internet signals, the ISP also needs one on their end to connect me to their data center. So it would be way easier for them to spy on their end of the cable (or signal, or whatever type of modem is used) than on my end, since there isn’t really much happening in between.

to make a good interactive shell

IFS is a special shell variable in bash, ksh and POSIX shells that lets you configure how the shell splits words

by default it splits at spaces tabs and newlines

I use fish a shell that is intentionally not POSIX compatible. While it borrows some principles from Bash and POSIX, it simplifies a lot of things and removes most footguns. Words are split at new lines in fish, which admittedly can also cause troubles, but not nearly as often as in bash and other POSIXy shells.

for i in path/to/dir/*
  dosomething_with_my_file $i
end

where is the problem? fish shell doesn’t split arguments at spaces

the standard keyboard layouts (qwerty, qwertz, etc.) are mostly trash

are there any good alternative keyboard layouts for your native language (finnish if im not mistaken)?

In Germany there is the Neo Family: Neo{,2}, NeoQwert{y,z}, Bone, Mine, … as well as offsprings of that, but I guess you need your diacritics: å ä and ö. While Neo layouts have these diacritics available, they are made for german, so only ä ö and ü are easily accessible.

not really

You can easily escape spaces with \ and my modern shell (fish) suggests and completes filenames for me anyway, so i don’t have to type more than the first word in more than 90% of cases.

How about “cool file name”?

All my systems use modern file systems that are case sensitive and can contain any character except / and \0.

the manpage has me covered tbh

neoliberalism isn’t liberalism tho

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law. Liberals espouse various and often mutually warring views depending on their understanding of these principles but generally support private property, market economies, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), liberal democracy, secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion, Liberalism is frequently cited as the dominant ideology of modern history.

where to get games:
this will not probably work for most multiplayer games or always-online games like Genshin Impact

• lots of games can be bought legally and DRM-free on GOG e.g. The Witcher, Baldurs Gate, Stronghold Crusaider HD
• especially Indie Games can be bough and/or downloaded on itch.io e.g. Doki Doki Literature Club
• there is always the option to pirate games

Lutris is a FOSS game launcher for GNU+Linux that handles installing from different (open-API) sources like GOG or itch.io or just a local installer file. It also manages wine/proton versions, settings and prefixes for each game. It also integrates with a lot of emulators for old consoles like 3DS, PSP or Atari.
