  • This seems like a good thread to ask:

    I have a Retropie and I use wpa_supplicant to manage my connection there. It looks like this: the router is downstairs and I use a repeater in the room next to the Retropie to have better wifi coverage upstairs. The router itself is reachable, but the signal strength is worse. So, as a fallback, I put both the router and the repeater connection in my wpa_supplicant config file with the router having a lower priority. Still, sometimes my retropie clings onto the worse connection for some reason and there is no way to change it but to do a complete reboot. If I just restart the wifi with ifdown and ifup, it will either not reconnect to any wifi at all or reconnect to the shittier connection again, it’s kinda a fifty-fifty. A reboot will always properly choose the best signal tho and I am very confused why this is happening. Any ideas?




  • I would get slapped with a restraining order for stalking if I’d do this IRL. But companies successfully convinced themselves that targetted ads are effective, completely ignoring the reality that everybody is just fed up by them. Browsing the web without an adblocker is atrocious and it feels like they are trying to bully you into buying their nonsense.

    I think that all started in the 90s when the focus on brand recognition was insane and actually resonated with society for reasons unbeknownst to me. The shit that’s happening now is just the resulting endgame. We 90s kids really fucked up, I’m sorry.
