For my link archive as this was a cool idea, but for many their device didn’t last that long:
[Wayback/Archive] ElectricRCAircraftGuy/eRCaGuy_ComputaPranksta_Support: Public support for my “Computa Pranksta” mouse jiggler device I sell on Amazon and elsewhere.
This device is a mouse jiggler. It keeps your computer awake. It can also be used to have some fun with your friends (please don’t take it too far–it’s meant to be used in good, friendly gest–not for any type of malicious purposes).
Notes:
Links on those USB Mouse Jigglers below, but first some links on the Computa Pranksta:

Het grappige van sommige Tweakers.net artikelen is dat er dan ineens veel tips over een concurrerend product in staat (omdat de laatste over het algemeen op bepaalde vlakke beter is).
Zo ook met diverse handige Stream Deck (van Elgato) tips in commentaar onder het artikel [Wayback/Archive] Mountain brengt DisplayPad- en MacroPad-toetsenbordjes uit voor content creators – Computer – Nieuws – Tweakers.
Samenvatting:

Most Fritz!Box VoIP configurations have a phone number configured to only work on telephony devices (i.e. handsets) on the same Fritz!Box.
But it is possible to define a telephony device that itself is another VoIP end-point.
This way you can hook a second (or more) Fritz!Box up to the phone number(s) of the first Fritz!Box.
I am using this for two reasons:
Below is how to get this going, assuming the first Fritz!Box is a 7490 running firmware 7.29 and the second is a a 7360 with firmware 6.33 (other versions and firmware versions vary slightly).
But first the related post: Many links about free modem/router choice and their configurations for the Dutch KPN internet/VoIP provider where I figured out that just using a 7360 won’t cut it any more.

My ISP did auto-update the Fritz!Box, but did not send release-notes, so I was not aware this feature had been added eons ago:
[Wayback/Archive] thuddevort on Twitter: “@jpluimers @wijnands @b0rk @xs4all You can disable the extra confirmation under System > FRITZ!Box Users > Additional Confirmation”.
I know a second factor is better for security, but doing that on both sites at the same time when setting up LAN2LAN VPN is tough (Fritz!Box names this either “LAN-LAN coupling” or “VPN Connections between the FRITZ!Box and Other Networks”.
A better feature at the same configuration page is instead of disabling, enabling to confirm using apps like Google Authenticator and Authy:

A while ago, I had to redo all of the existing Fritz!Box LAN2LAN VPN connections.
It was a pain for many reasons, reminding me of the pain
This is why it was so painful:

Last year, after an already long sequence of doing stupid things, Ubiquiti sued Brian Krebs.
For many this was a reason to think about what to replace their Ubiquiti.
My cloud key had already died, I never installed the USG router, so this is the reminder to see if anything has come up to replace the Unifi access points that is easy to manage in a self-hosted way are powered over ethernet, do the same seamless handover and cooperative WiFi antenna management.
Some links from back then:
