I like it a lot more UI wise. It feels like the modern MS Office if the ribbon UI wasn’t awful and busy. Compatibility is extremely good as well. Has Nextcloud/standalone web version, desktop versions, phone versions. I haven’t used the phone app that much, but it seems good from what I have used.

Edit: I don’t know how well it handles Markdown, however.

OnlyOffice?

What would dual Z axes on the mini achieve? The existing cantilever design is plenty stiff in my experience, I’m skeptical you’ll get any significant increase in print quality or speed, and I suspect at the cost of having to fiddle around a lot tuning settings to get it back to where it started as the existing firmware has a lot of tuning for the mechanical behavior of the exisiting design. So, if you’re not happy with the mini as is, I would be looking at a different printer rather than a dual Z mod.

Having myself indulged in the temptations of homebrew 3D printer mods, I came to realize that not all mods out there actually improve performance, especially this type of serious mechanical overhaul of what is already a fairly sophisticated and optimized design. A decent part of the mini’s secret sauce is in the firmware, and this is going to break that.

I liked ddg browser and used it for a while, though I had to go back to Firefox for an unrelated reason (couldn’t get ddg browser to accept my private certificate authority as valid).

Tugtainer is pretty nice, and has a webui.

Yep I pay an outrageous $1100/mo for my spouse and I. The coverage isn’t even that good. Looking to shop around this year because that big of a bite out of paycheck really hurts, but I suspect I’m not going to find any better.

Yes, though it might be a bit underpowered. I’d look also at their RouterBoard line. I haven’t used DSL in a long time, but it should he possible.

Man, sorry I don’t know why Lemmy doesn’t show me reply notifications consistently.

Nah, unfortunately I watched this video a couple weeks ago and while it is a waste of time, there is at least a bit more to it than that. DNS is part of it but it’s more “I built a regular router”. The backstory is the OP’s apartment has some kind of shady wireless ISP as their only option. They build a router to hide connecting multiple devices behind NAT (which they barely even talk about), but they don’t do much else to actually hide devices. Honestly it’s really basic and could be achieved with a cheap travel router, though the 3D printed enclosure they built is pretty cool.

Even if you’re not a Linux networking neckbeard and want to learn this video isn’t worth watching because it just glosses over the actual useful/interesting/complicated parts.

Oops didn’t see your reply. Yes, it would, though RouterOS is a bit difficult to use. I have some Mirkotik gear and it’s a pretty great hardware if you’re willing to learn the software. General configuration is the same – buy one of their routers (not the stuff like the switches that can kinda do routing, you want one of the actual routers) with enough ports, put a dedicated network with DHCP on each port, WAN on another, firewall rules to keep the networks separate.

Beware that Mikrotik hardware has some subtleties with what capabilities each box has because they rely heavily on having hardware acceleration, so you wanna read the specs and documentation carefully to make sure the one you pick that meets your needs. PfSense/OPNSense don’t really have that caveat because they do all the routing on the main CPU and just use a more powerful CPU than Mikrotik usually does (though still lower power generally… a lowly N150 CPU can route like 2-3 GBPS of traffic easily).

FWIW PfSense and OPNSense are both open source software from reputable companies built on FreeBSD. For the random cheapo boxes from Amazon/Aliexpress you absolutely want to wipe them and install a fresh copy. You can also buy official hardware from the company, but it’s more expensive. Protectli is also a reputable brand of mini PC that is sold specifically with PfSense/OPNSense in mind that isn’t crazy expensive.

Edit: just so you know, any “real” (as in, not the home router all in one junk you can buy at the electronics store) router can do what you’re asking as long as it has enough ports, be it Cisco or Ubiquiti or any other. This is a very common use case, and a core feature of a router.
