Distro or Desktop like "classic" macOS in c/[email protected]

Thanks!

Can't believe I didn't find those, guess I should have searched for platinum. Guess I'm off installing xfce.

I'm talking about the System 7/8/9 days of macOS. I really like the aesthetic and workflow in the older macOS versions (call me a masochist) and I'm hoping if someone knows of something that already exists. I know there are plenty of skins/themes that hearken back to Windows 95/98, but most of what you find online when you look for "Linux like macOS 9" is things that make it look like modern macOS.

Reticulum Network - Potentially viable global mesh internet in c/[email protected]

That's awesome, someone actually using Python what it's best for, creating a minimum viable product, before moving onto something more permanent!

I'll be very interested to see where this project ends up going.

This is a very cool concept and it seems quite mature for something in beta. I do however have my doubts over choosing to use python for something as often used as the network stack. As I understand it, one of the goals for this project is efficiency, and while python is very efficient to write, it is notably very inefficient during runtime.

Home(lab) router advice in c/[email protected]

I've had some bad experienced with Ubiquitis edge routers and their Unifi software, so I'd rather avoid them for a bit. I'll have to look into mikrotik!

Though so, thanks.

I'm comfortable with a cli, but in a homelab environment quick testing might prove easier using a GUI, so I'll probably go with the pfsense route then

I just recently got 1 gigabit up/down at home when they put in fiber. Now I'm looking for a router/firewall to use. I run a homelab with a few VMs.

I was looking at getting a Cisco router to tinker with, as I've just finished a course on IOS. What routers would you recommend (2nd hand) for less than 150€? Is Cisco even feasible at this price point or should I just get a mini pc and run pfsense/opnsense?

I've looked at the ISR900 and it seems to meet my requirements, but I am not sure if it also offers a web interface, which would be quite useful for me.

Bit of an unstructured post but I hope you'll be able to help me regardless.

EDIT: I ended up getting a mikrotik hAP ac3 router. It seems to meet my requirements and after trying the routerOS demo they have up I decided that it would work for me.
