Haha, sounds familiar. I picked up vintage story a few months ago and immediately fell in deep. I haven’t played in a while but I saw 1.22 came out and its calling me back…maybe just a few hours days…

Nope!

When I upgraded my desktop last January with all new everything I thought I was just getting ahead of tariffs…I did not foresee that memory and ssds and hdds and silicon would all explode in price. Glad I pulled the trigger when I did!

In salad there are no rules. Follow your dreams.

What if those reps had a big, beautiful former ballroom to occupy? That would be pretty cool, someone should get on that.

If the router reconnects to the internet when it factory resets and it still works as a gateway, there may still be hope. You’d need some SSH host on another machine behind the router; you’d probably also need some sort of minimal VPS. You could setup a reverse SSH tunnel on the SSH host that would tunnel through the router to the VPS, then you’d be able to connect through the VPS into your network.

Honestly tho, this is a lot of work and if time is tight you might just wanna roll to a store and buy whatever cheap router you can find to limp along til you get back.

So you haven’t used it yourself and are shitting on an OS based on anecdotal evidence? "Stop making stupid assumptions”, I once heard someone say.

I use GrapheneOS and have helped other less tech-savvy people install and use it. You can just roll with the defaults and have a better privacy stance than the spyware Google puts out, or you can take a deep dive. It works just fine either way.
