Later on, I might add a USB31000S in the mix, but I will do some initial testing with USB 3 gigabit ethernet adapters based on Realtek RTL8153 and Asix AX88179 chips.
Things I will focus on with my Retina MacBook Pro 2015 model are:
Some links for my references:
A first impression from the above links is that for Realtek chipset based devices, drivers are more readily included in operating systems, and these chipsets are better at VLAN handling.

I need to dig a bit deeper into these links to see how easy it is to record calls made on a Fritz!Box then playing back the captured calls.
Note that in various countries you have to indicate to the calling parties that their calls can be recorded.

People are (rightfully) freaking out about their privacy as the Senate voted to let internet providers share your private data with advertisers. While it’s important to protect your privacy,…
Interesting: easy setup allows for creating disposable VPN servers.

Since I will likely have to enable Skype in a relatively restricted environment, here are some links that likely will help me getting IP lists to open up:

Mikrotik has great hardware, great firmware (if you have the right builds), but notoriously bad documentation and a not so great software release and testing process.
So I might consider switching away, so here are some threats that might lead to alternatives:

I use ubnt edgerouters, great bang for buck. My ER Pro-8 has been up for 8 months (no reboots) and hasn’t missed a beat, rock solid ipsec vpn. I looked at microtik, but found the edgerouters slightly easier to configure.

I never realised that Amazon Alexa has an open source account on GitHub: https://github.com/alexa
There are full instructions on getting a Java based Alexa Voice Service (AVS) – also used by Amazon Echo – to run on a Raspberri Pi (3 or better recommended, works on 2 as well) with this extra hardware:
Full instructions are at Raspberry Pi · alexa/alexa-avs-sample-app Wiki and a video is below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baec1CbV6A0
I should find some time to try this out (:

For my link archive, to get firmware updates installed on my OKI MC342 printer (Mac update fails, Windows update fails, both with “Firmware update failed.”):
download support printer drivers and software utilities for your OKI printers
Source: MC342dn | Drivers & software | OKI UK | Printers & Managed Print Services
[Oki Data] The Firmware Update Utility is used to upload new firmware files to your printer.
Source: Firmware Update | OKI Global
I needed a firmware update because enabling Google Cloud Printing failed.
Source: Cloud Printing | OKI Europe Ltd – Printers, Printing Solutions and Managed Print Services
The reason was error 10a00013 which according to the Cloud Print Manual is “Connection error to the HTTP server (server authentication error). Access the website stored in the Oki Data device (http://(Oki Data device IP address)), and check the imported CA license. Alternatively, update the firmware.”
As the web page didn’t tell me about how to imported CA licenses, I have to update the firmware.
