This is so cool, but will take some time for lot’s of tooling to become compatible:
Starting with v197 systemd/udev will automatically assign predictable, stable network interface names for all local Ethernet, WLAN and WWAN interfaces. This is a departure from the traditional interface naming scheme (“eth0”, “eth1”, “wlan0”, …), but should fix real problems.

Example:
/ip firewall filter export file=ip-firewall-filter.rsc
This exports the Filters parts of the IP Firewall into a file named ip-firewall-filter.rsc in the user-space root of the Mikrotik router file system that you can access through the Files menu entry in WinBox or by external access through FTP or SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol).

CompuLab 4K Display Emulator (fit-Headless 4K)
The MacMini is a bit dumb as it won’t enable the GPU when there is no display attached. Which means headless operation is cumbersome as display rendering is very slow.
There are a few tricks of which the off-the-shelve HDMI solutions work best.
You can buy them at Amazon:
CompuLab Display Emulator (fit-Headless)

Basically the trick to simulate a monitor with a dummy load works for other display connectors as well (most of them work fine with 75 ohm resistors, usually a bit lower or higher works just as well):

Interesting read, especially because they did an extensive tool selection process. Not really up to date any more but a good start when you are looking for tools.

For me, too often – even at home – mobile internet is faster than WiFi over 2.4 Ghz and sometimes even faster than WiFi at 5 Ghz..
Further below is inside my home. I’ve no idea what these – relatively strong – networks are:

Many networks have DHCP Manual allocation (commonly called static allocation) handing out static/fixed IP addresses over DHCP so you can centralise IP address handout based on MAC (or other attributes).
Here are some links that should me get going making my pi-hole Raspberry Pi using DHCP instead of static IP addresses.
