Urrrggghhh. Late starting the kids on their first day of school due to configurating my new WiFi/VPN router.
My balls already ache...

And now it wants to do a FW update...
One thing... this router runs FAST. Like 20-30 seconds for a reboot. Gotta love that 3-core CPU; I wonder if there's a 4th core that can be unlocked...
*remembering many afternoons spent at a console waiting for CISCOs to reboot 5-8 minutes at a time*
mnem
*shudder*
Yeah one reason that Cisco 1941 ISR I have is sitting in the hall still rather than being my router. I got it and now I'm not in the mood for a ball kicking
Ugggh. I misunderstood the manual when I was shopping this thing... while I CAN limit router management to a single specific MAC address(es), I cannot limit it to a single interface or preferably a single ETH port like a REAL router; if I add the MAC of my WiFi adapter to the management whitelist it happily pops up a login portal.
Why the FUCK would ANY router manufacturer ever take away such a fundamental security measure...?
Fucking toy. If I can't find a precompiled build of OpenWRT I think it's going back. A shame too... awesome hardware otherwise.

assholes.
Start 'em young.
That’s a win. It’s the modern equivalent of the radio shack 160-in-1 I got that started all this
If I was starting now, I'd go into the life science for the same reasons I started with electronics and computers.Ewwww! All that glibber.
In die Pumpe mit der Klumpe!

So, where is the equivalent of the Philips EE-20 or that 160-in-1 kit? For that matter, what would they enable you to do now and in 10 years time?
Today's equivalent might be an Arduino kit of some kind?
I was really thinking of a life sciences kit."Igor's genetic engineering and self-surgery kit*"
Bonus: extra tentacles in this kit.

16.04 and 18.04 somewhat work in a way that 20.04 does not.
If I had to choose between 20.04 and chlamydia I'd probably go for Chlamydia.

Many people have the fantasy of having to fly a plane after the pilot is disabled...
I've always had this weird desire to do an operation on myself, something a little more interesting than digging pus out of an ingrowing toenail when stuck on top of a mountain after a 1500ft vertical climb.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, which is no less insane.....

I’m so tempted to buy one of them as a leech box. Do they run headless?
Edit: for @mnem: That is the Ice Emperor's Dragon from LEGO (set 70678) Ninjago season 11. For some reason, Zane is nowhere to be found.
Have you tried this?
Let's assume, the user account for your 7-years old is alice.
As user root:
passwd alice
(Enter a password twice, e.g. 1234)
This should do it, ignore the warnings.
Third thing is common with consumer products where the wall wart is always rotated such that it blocks two receptacles on a power bar. The advice is always to mount the device high up for better signal propagation, but the cord is never long enough. Time to go shopping for an extension cord; I did not plan that one as well as the Ethernet cabling.

Back in my college days, I had to perform the Heimlich maneuver on a girl at a dinner party that had some item of food stuck in her throat, she couldn't breathe and was panicking. The funny thing is, I had no idea what a Heimlich maneuver was at the time, no first aid training, nothing. I did it totally instinctively, wrapped my arms around her from behind and used her lungs as bellows to shoot out the stuck material - because it was clear to me she would die if nobody did anything. It worked... thank God. Being the "hero" was scary as hell. Only much later did I stop shaking. Not a situation I would ever wish to be in again... apparently, thousands of people die this way every year.

I tried that among other things. It enforced a strong password (not just a warning).
Other things included trying using the GUI option, GUI by the su and console by the su; all enforced a strong password.
I wonder if this is a change in 20.04 from the older versions?
password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so obscure sha512
password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so minlen=4 sha512

did some walking on the beach.
And tried the new camera.
Still have to read TFM which has 644 pages. WTF ??!!!!
