but I found I spent way too much time trying to manage RAM and tuning it,

I spent none, and it works fine. what was you're issue?

e-waste? a lot of networks dont need anywhere near gigabit. Especially because at a lot of places around the world even the ISP can't provide that bandwidth for internet, but this applies to internal networks too. in a lot of cases a 100 mbps capable managed switch (which a router can be, even if with limitations) is enough

If I can flash OpenWRT on to an older router then it becomes useful again.

well, only if it has more than 4 MB storage, 8 MB RAM. I'm practically swimming in older routers that can't even pass that requirement, and even today the cheaper, that is, more affordable options are still near that for some fucking reason.

its not openwrt. its openwrt based, with proprietary modifications, from a country where saying no to planting a backdoor is not an option.

everyone is better off just flashing the open source firmware themselves. both with gl.inet and other brands, but I would say the same for openwrt's own router-like device too due to supply chain attacks

then what? the brand thats owned by a chinese company, and even designs not just the software but the hardware too according to Chinese interests, tp-link?
or the one that requires online registration to access the setup page (and so to replace the firmware) that is netgear?

It's a bit ironic that on the forum the poster did not remove the tracking parameters from the google drive link

I don't understand. isn't this the thing that would help get rid of surveillance based personalized ads?

you don't have to be imprisoned to have your life ruined. there are many relatively subtle ways to do that

I see. wouldn't the default disabled social blocking lists block that too?

another way is to have libredirect redirect the embeds to nitter. some instances still work
