There are more fundamental questions than those which are being asked here.

There is, first of all, the assumption that Yahoo! Search…oh wait, no, I meant Altavista Search…wait, no, that's not it either, I really meant to say that Google Search…has value, that it has high value, and that it cannot be adequately replicated, so its loss is a permanent loss to humanity.

OK, #fediverse #hivemind, here's a #question.

I want to put #VPN gateways at my house and my mother's house 500 km away, so I can have remote access to both home networks.

Given everything that's going on in the consumer router market, what would you suggest?

I was at one point considering the D-Link DSR-250V2. Is there anything else out there that's reasonably priced and reasonably secure? Are there any #FOSS solutions for this? #networking

Just to follow up, the new Daimay brown leather pen case came in today, and it's a lighter color than the product photo, which is good, and it also seems to be a bit less stiff than the black one I bought 3 years ago, which is also good.

The four #drawing tools for my #travel portable #watercolor #sketching kit fit comfortably right in, Platinum Preppy 0.5 mm #fountainpen, Koh-i-Noor Rapidomatic 0.9 mm HB #mechanicalpencil, Uni Field 2.0 mm HB #leadholder, and Pentel stick #eraser.

3 years ago, I ordered the larger of this Daimay leather pen case, but decided it took up too much space in my bag and only fit 2 of my TWSBI ECO #fountainpens (3 if you train it), so when I found an NOS #Filofax Bromley pen case on eBay, I snatched it up, and it's now my favorite pen case.

Recently, I started getting back into building a #travel portable #watercolor kit, and I realized the Daimay was perfect for my #sketching #mechanicalpencils and #leadholders. #stationery #artsupplies

As a big fan of the Pentel Sharp Kerry #mechanicalpencil, I am also, of course, a fan of the Pilot Elite #fountainpen, and the Kaimei brush pen, both of which have body designs similar to the Kerry, except I generally avoid cartridge pens. I do actually own a 1990s vintage Kaimei, and I'm going to try to revive it, but I've never owned a Pilot Elite, and today I saw a black and white gold one on eBay.
