I feel like the last year has been a great push for me to slowly detach myself from giant companies and ensure what I do is in my control and ownership

Finally switched over to linux permanently

switched to firefox

enabled adblocker, sponsor blockers, and tracker removers

disabled autoplay and the recommendations sidebar on YouTube (highly highly encourage, though I still keep the homepage open so I can choose when to browse new suggested content rather than it pestering me)

downloaded all my tumblr posts and now host them parallel on my website (stuck here until we find some decentralized way of doing social media right)

cleared out 99% of my online storage to now be on multiple hard-drive backups

downloaded locally all my music

removed myself from basically every data tracking social media platform except this and YouTube

And now currently I'm trying to consolidate all my feeds into just an RSS reader.

It takes a long time and a lot of planning, but its very rewarding to take control over what you want to see, how you see it, how its formatted, ect. I find these are my steps to an easy transition off a certain service:

Download all your data and back it up. Now your account can be deleted at any time with no remorse.

Find browser extensions that enhance and modify the experience to what you might need. Use that to tangibly guide your preferences. Go ahead and remove the app on your phone if its there.

Research every alternative service and try them out. Begin moving certain activity exclusively to the alternative. Take time getting used to it and see if its better to try more alternatives.

Completely jump ship, delete the account, move all feeds or settings over.

Its an ongoing process but there's still probably a few more years of this to go through. Future plans are:

Completely remove all prior emails and self host a new one

Get off Discord entirely except for running the wiki server. It sucks that Discord is so prevalent. Probably move to various forums. Maybe look into some sort of forum management software such as how RSS feeds tame articles and videos into one place.

Setup adblockers directly into my router so ads won't even appear on phones.

Setup my phone to just straight up also run linux. There's a few mobile-designed linux platforms to look into until I decide.

how to connect to wi-fi services in pokemon gen 4 (DPPT/HGSS)

it's still possible to access the wi-fi services of the gen 4 games after the official shutdown of nintendo's wii/ds wi-fi in 2013 due to fan efforts by changing your DNS settings in-game - this is called the DNS exploit. this is popularly used in gen 5 which really has no complications, but in gen 4 it's a bit more complicated because the games are So old that they can't connect to the internet through modern routers due to fancy modern internet encryption. the connection either needs to have no password, or have WEP encryption, which most modern routers do not support. i had some people asking me how to do this so here's a post lol

first, it should be noted i use the pkmnclassic service, and i think you should too. this gives you access to old mystery gifts as well as pretty much every other wi-fi feature. their website also allows you to view pokemon currently uploaded to either gen 4 or 5's GTS through your browser. once you get your wi-fi set up properly, connecting to the internet will be easy, but that setup comes first. below i am going to list all the options i am currently aware of and able to explain

option 1 - phone hotspot (easy/convenient, doesn't work for every type of phone)

some phone hotspots are able to use old WEP type encryption, or be password-less. if you have access to a phone hotspot, it's worth taking off the password if it lets you and trying to connect to the gen 4 wi-fi with it before trying any other method, since if it works it's super convenient, just turn on the hotspot any time you want to do something online in gen 4 and turn it back off when you're done. unfortunately this depends on the type of phone and what OS its on and i don't have a list of what phones or OSes are compatible, so good luck lol. mine personally is not, and i have a fully updated iphone

option 2 - guest wi-fi (a little less convenient but still easy if you have access to router settings)

in the same vein as phone hotspots, guest wi-fi hotspots can also work, and this is what i personally use myself. the catch is you have to have access to your router settings, so if you're a young person using a parents' router without access to those or some other situation like that, you may have to ask for assistance every time you want to turn this on/off, which could be a dealbreaker for some unfortunately. but if you're able to do that, simply make your guest wi-fi password-less and turn it on when you want to connect to gen 4 wi-fi and turn it back off when you're done. since these settings pages are so different per internet provider, i can't really give a guide on how to do that here, though mine through verizon fios is pretty straightforward. some guest wi-fi may not work for this but i think most should

option 3 - use an old router that supports WEP encryption (probably inaccessible for most, but only has to be set up once and then you're done)

i've done this in the past but i had my dad's help with the process, i cannot walk you through buying an old router lol. but yes if you purchase an old router and set that up you can have password protected gen 4 wi-fi permanently

option 4 - save backup + emulation through melonds (works pretty much 100% of the time if you have a hacked 3DS and some sort of PC)

MelonDS is a really great DS emulator that you can find here for windows/linux/mac: https://melonds.kuribo64.net/downloads.php

the basic idea is that you can backup your save file/game with a hacked 3DS using Checkpoint or TWLSaveTool (outside the scope of this guide but this is easy to do and you can walk through the steps here) and then run it through melonds, which can bypass all this WEP/encryption hell for you and simply connect to the internet. of course this is not very convenient if you have to constantly back up your saves to do wi-fi stuff but it's better than nothing if you have no other option.

unfortunately setting up the wi-fi can be a pain, and you also need DS BIOS files to run everything properly, which i cannot provide myself for legal reasons but they uh... aren't that hard to find lol, and you can back them up from an actual DS if you have access to the necessary tools for that.

if you use a windows PC, feel free to use my version of melonds which already has all the wifi shit set up, you'll just need to provide your own bios files under emu settings (it's a bit old but it works great for this purpose): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DQotaqFuBwXz1KYdQWiwxghtn3faLgj-/view?usp=sharing

edit: just found out right after posting this that the most recent version of melonds might work out the box without having to do any particular wi-fi setup? so feel free to try it instead of my version if you like

if you are using linux/mac or don't want to use my version, you'll have to use the melonDS FAQ/google to figure it out, i'm sorry!

by the way yes, this means even if you don't have a gen 4 cart and solely play over emulator, you can trade/battle/etc with people who are playing on DS - they connect to the same servers!

okay and NOW once you have one of those options set up, you can actually connect to wi-fi in game by doing the following:

(these screencaps are from my capture card, i am doing this on an actual DS, but you can also do this with melonds if you're using that option)

step 1: navigate to "NINTENDO WFC SETTINGS" in the menu where you press continue on your save file, in-game. in gen 4 you need to do it here and not in your DS settings.

step 2: tap "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Settings" and pick any of the three connections here to start the set-up. if you already have some here, i'd click "erase settings" underneath to start from scratch.

step 3: search for an access point and pick your desired access point from the list that comes up, and put in a password if needed (this assumes you have set up your wifi properly at this point)

step 4: it will attempt a connection to the internet, and may or may not throw an error. regardless, the error doesn't really matter, you can just hit "OK" whether it's successful or not

step 5: go back into your new connection (the box that previously said "None" should now say "Ready") and scroll down until you see the option "Auto-obtain DNS" - change this to "No"

step 6: change the primary DNS to pkmnclassic's DNS, which is 178.62.43.212 - in layman's terms this will essentially let you connect to their servers instead of nintendo's, which are obviously down. as for the secondary DNS, either leave it at 0.0.0.0 or change it to the same DNS as the primary

step 7: now would be a good time for a connection test. tap "Test Connection" in the top right. there should be a successful connection. assuming there is a successful connection, congrats! save your settings and enter your game as normal. you'll need to go to the basement of any pokemon center and pick up your pal pad, then try entering the wi-fi club (middle NPC at the counter) to test it in-game and get your friend code.

if there isn't, try a few more times or get closer to your access point - sometimes it's not you, the service can just occasionally be spotty. if you keep getting errors, you can use this site to look up what the error code might mean. if you still can't solve the issue, you may have to try a different method of connection as listed above.

sorry i couldn't be more in depth but frankly i'm not an expert on this stuff either, i'm just doing my best. there are a couple other options for doing this, like taking the password off your modern home wi-fi, or bridging your connection to an old laptop/computer, but the first is particularly dangerous so i didn't want to include it in the list and the second is completely out of my league, i just know people have done it before

good luck feel free to ask questions but no promises i'll have answers. if you need troubleshooting help i'd recommend pkmnclassic's discord over me, they have channels for that stuff (yes i hate troubleshooting stuff moving to discord and not forums as much as the rest of you but it can't be helped lol)

192.168.1.250 Netgear Setup: A Beginner’s Guide

The netgear extenders are widely used by many of the networking users to create a reliable network. Netgear extender devices are known for their performance and stable network. Setting up the extender device is not a daunting task if you are aware of the setup process. In this article we are going to elaborate in detail how you can perform 192.168.1.250 Netgear Setup using the web. Web based setup method is the most reliable way to add the netgear extender into your existing network. Gather the important details and configure any model of netgear wireless range extender device. Scroll up the page and read the information till the last to boost up your network. 

Unboxing The Extender

Unboxing the wireless range extender is the first step of the 192.168.1.250 Netgear Setup. In the box you will find an extender along with power adapter, user guide and ethernet cable (optional). You need all such items for the setup process. In addition to these items you also need host router network details, working internet connection, electric power socket, and computer/ laptop device. 

Placement 

Second step is placement of the device. Proxy placement is needed for the setup. Put the device closer as possible. Also there is no signal interface closer to the router & extender device. 

Boot Up 

Next step of the process is boot up. For booting up you have to use the power adapter you got with the extender. In case your device is a wall plug compact design device then you have to directly connect it with a wall outlet. Boot process might take around 1 to 2 minutes. Before proceeding further towards 192.168.1.250 Netgear Setup using the web, wait for LED lights to stabilize. 

Connect To Extender Network

Step ahead and connect the extender device to the client device using any of the given methods:

Ethernet: Use the ethernet cord you got with the range extender and connect the extender with the client device. Inject the cord’s one end into the ethernet port of the extender and other in the client device ethernet port. Make sure the connection is secured.

Wireless: Using the wireless network of ethernet you can establish a connection. Check out the device label to know the default SSID & password. Use your client device and run a scan for available wireless networks. Enter the details and connect the devices.

Access 192.168.1.250 Netgear Setup Page

Now you have to access 192.160.1.250 netgear setup page by follow the given steps:

Launch google chrome or any other similar browser. 

Thereafter, mention 192.168.1.250 IP in the URL bar. 

A new page appears where you have to provide default information. 

Enter admin and password in the fields. 

Further press login and netgear installation assistant will guide you.

Configure Extender

Once you get access to the configuration page, choose the language first and then your router’s network name. Choose next and enter the password on the screen. Further click on connect option and then next.

Secure Network

Now you have to secure the wireless network by creating an SSID & password for your extender network. Also make changes in the admin account user details. This step is important to keep your existing network secure.

Update Firmware

Afterwards, you need to look for the firmware version. In case the firmware is outdated then you should install the latest version. For installation you can opt for an online update option and follow the prompts. You can update the firmware manually also by downloading it from the official portal of netgear. 

Finalize Setup

Finalize the setup by choosing the submit button once you made all the important changes in the network. Review the changes you made to verify every step. Note down the extender security details you have created and keep them secure. Submit the changes and then you can step further to reposition the device.

Reposition The Extender

Repositioning the extender is a very important step to optimize the network performance. Unplug the extender from the proxy position. Search for a midway position (from the router and the area where the dead spot was). Then plug it in again to the power at the new position. Wait for the device to boot up and monitor the router LED on your extender device. If it’s green then the position is perfect. On the contrary if it turns amber or red then relocate it.

Test New Network

Lastly, test the new network using a wireless handset. Using the new SSID & password connect the device with the extender network and browse, stream or play online to check speed.

Conclusion

Lastly, I would like to rest my words by saying that the 192.168.1.250 Netgear Setup process is a super easy task. By following the above mentioned step by step breakdown of the extender setup process, anyone can configure the extender easily without a tech expert. Setting up an extender device will boost your existing network signal strength and terminate the dead spots from your home or office area.

Well, it's done!

It took most of the month, but it's done!

Please note: it is not finished. Projects have 1 rule: they're never done, they've merely escaped the first development stage. Same goes for this: it's escaped dev phase 1, but it's not finished, not by a long shot. To be finished requires more work than I can get done right now.

So anyway, how did we get here? After 6 months, several finger injuries and lots of swearing later, how is this the specific result?

Well, let me take you back to December last year, where I got the body and kit as a semi-late Crimble present.

Look at it. No modifications to the body, the kit's barely touched, and I'm taking the photo at almost 9pm.

Anyway, Jan 5th, I took the body, kit and a nut blank (a surprise tool that will help us for another project) up to my aunt's house, and we measured up the body to make it compatible with the neck from the kit.

There, we found a problem: the neck heel was too wide for the neck pocket in the body, by all of 3mm. I know, doesn't sound big, does it? Well, 3mm can mean a hell of a lot when it comes to woodwork and lutherie, because it can be the difference between a snug fit, and too big to fit in.

So how do we fix the problem? We decided to rout out the neck pocket, in order to make the heel fit in. However, doing that freehand is what we in the business call a Bad Idea. So we made a jig to guide the router. That just so happened to be on February 9th of this year, the 60th anniversary of the first Ed Sullivan broadcast which struck Beatlemania in the States.

Yeah, that's a side tangent all to itself. Now, returning readers with remember that I've mentioned February 9th before. Yeah, that incident where I got 3 new cuts on my index finger. To quote me from February: "Ouch."

Following a 3 week break to heal, I made up for lost time well. How, you may ask? By modding the body to fit most of the parts from the kit (I'd placed the pencil there to hide the nut):

I was very busy during the month of March, as these 3 photos can prove:

Yes, all 3 show effectively the same thing, but they mark a good point of progression in the completeness of the thing: not only had we designed, cut out and fitted a scratchplate to the body (well, test fitted. We didn't have the neck on yet, and we hadn't actually drilled any of the holes in either).

Apparently I just... didn't take any photos during April, so I have no record of when the headstock was carved out to make the cresting wave. It was either the 12th or the 26th, because I had a 2 week system for this thing, but when it got carved, I can't recall.

Anyway, I have a photo for May:

This is literally the only photo I took of it during May. As you can quite visibly see, we stained the top of the guitar. I did owe peoples another photo, though, so I got a couple more photos of it the time after:

Photos not only of it having been stained front and back (it was either that or try and get any dyes that got past the binding out - with sandpaper.), but also it in the final stages of assembly and setup.

However, I got it from my aunt today. So, you may be wondering, why did it take another week to finish?

The short version? Miscalculations.

So what about the long version?

Back when I got the body, it had a neck pocket size and depth meant for a standard Telecaster guitar neck, meaning that it had to be routed out to 59mm to fit the stupid thing in.

Notice how I mentioned both size and depth. That meant that not only was the neck heel too wide to fit it in, but it also sat too proud of the surface of the guitar. What that meant was that it created a neck angle that should not have existed whatsoever - the back of the fretboard was too far up in comparison to the headstock.

I took a photo of it on Monday, when I learned about all this:

Notice how it's missing a string. That's because the saddle for the A octave was sharp, meaning when the string was put under a little tension (seriously), it snapped off at the saddle, and pinged off.

So for this entire week, I've been wondering if it's going to be ready soon or not. Obviously, though, the answer turned out to be yes. On Wednesday, I received this photo:

If you're confused at what it's showing, it's the neck pocket's old depth (marked by it still being that depth), in comparison to the depth which it should be (marked by a chinagraph pencil). That got carved away, and now the strings sit much lower and actually ring out.

I got another photo yesterday too.

This one is the nut slots being cleaned up so the strings don't go sharp when fretted near the nut. You'd be surprised how common a problem that is.

And, of course, I got the guitar today. To end off this post, have a couple photos taken with natural light:

[linguisticparadox]

I got my siblings the Starter Max kit for the Raspberry Pi Zero W here:

There's also a good deal, for the somewhat faster Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, but short a micro SD card, here:

Both are officially approved Raspberry Pi sellers, and I've ordered from both and can confirm their reliability.

Depending on how you do the setup, you may need more or less than are in these kits.

Here are some links on how to set it up:

https://privacyinternational.org/guide-step/4341/raspberry-pi-setup-and-run-pi-hole

Do note, you will need to be able to access your internet router settings. You basically have to tell your router to run all internet traffic by the raspberry pi, which then uses the pi-hole program to figure out what to let through.

You may also figure out that you could technically run pi-hole on any computer running linux! The benefit to using a raspberry pi rather than, say, an old laptop, is it takes up very little space and uses far less energy. You have to have the pi-hole running at all times, after all! And trust me when I say the initial investment is 1000% worth it.

>First, we’ve discovered that about a quarter of all the internet connection in or out of the house were ad related. In a few hours, that’s about 10,000 out of 40,000 processed.

>We also discovered that every link on Twitter was blocked. This was solved by whitelisting the https://t.co domain.

>Once out browsing the Web, everything is loading pretty much instantly. It turns out most of that Page Loading malarkey we’ve been accustomed to is related to sites running auctions to sell Ad space to show you before the page loads. All gone now.

>We then found that the Samsung TV (which I really like) is very fond of yapping all about itself to Samsung HQ. All stopped now. No sign of any breakages in its function, so I’m happy enough with that.

>The primary source of distress came from the habitual Lemmings player in the house, who found they could no longer watch ads to build up their in-app gold. A workaround is being considered for this.

>The next ambition is to advance the Ad blocking so that it seamlessly removed YouTube Ads. This is the subject of ongoing research, and tinkering continues. All in all, a very successful experiment.

>Certainly this exceeds my equivalent childhood project of disassembling and assembling our rotary dial telephone. A project whose only utility was finding out how to make the phone ring when nobody was calling.

>Update: All4 on the telly appears not to have any ads any more. Goodbye Arnold Clarke!

>Lemmings problem now solved.

>Can confirm, after small tests, that RTÉ Player ads are now gone and the player on the phone is now just delivering swift, ad free streams at first click.

>Some queries along the lines of “Are you not stealing the internet?” Firstly, this is my network, so I may set it up as I please (or, you know, my son can do it and I can give him a stupid thumbs up in response). But there is a wider question, based on the ads=internet model.

>I’m afraid I passed the You Wouldn’t Download A Car point back when I first installed ad-blocking plug-ins on a browser. But consider my chatty TV. Individual consumer choice is not the method of addressing pervasive commercial surveillance.

>Should I feel morally obliged not to mute the TV when the ads come on? No, this is a standing tension- a clash of interests. But I think my interest in my family not being under intrusive or covert surveillance at home is superior to the ad company’s wish to profile them.

>Aside: 24 hours of Pi Hole stats suggests that Samsung TVs are very chatty. 14,170 chats a day.

>YouTube blocking seems difficult, as the ads usually come from the same domain as the videos. Haven’t tried it, but all of the content can also be delivered from a no-cookies version of the YouTube domain, which doesn’t have the ads. I have asked my son to poke at that idea.

Getting Started with Network Design 🧠🌐

#coding#programming#orhanergun#webdev

Are you building a scalable and secure network for the first time? Here's a beginner-friendly guide to get you started with network design fundamentals.

🧩 What Is Network Design? Network design is the process of planning the structure of a computer network—whether it's for a small office, a campus, or a global enterprise. It involves identifying business needs, selecting hardware/software, and defining how devices will communicate.

Think of it as an architect’s blueprint—only for data, not buildings.

🧱 Core Components of a Network Before diving into design, it’s important to know what makes up a network:

Routers: Connect different networks together.

Switches: Connect devices within the same network.

Firewalls: Protect your network from unauthorized access.

Access Points: Allow wireless devices to connect to the network.

Cabling or Wireless Links: Physical or radio-based communication paths.

🗺️ Step-by-Step: Designing a Basic Network Here’s a simplified roadmap to start designing a small to medium-sized network:

Define Requirements Ask:

How many users or devices will connect?

What are the performance needs? (e.g., speed, uptime)

Are there remote or mobile users?

What applications will run on this network?

Create a Network Topology Choose a logical layout:

Star topology: Common and simple (e.g., one central switch).

Mesh topology: High redundancy (used in critical systems).

Hybrid: A mix of both, which is common in larger setups.

Tip: Use tools like draw.io or Cisco Packet Tracer to visualize your design.

Select Hardware and IP Schema Choose devices based on your budget and needs:

Cisco, Juniper, MikroTik (enterprise)

TP-Link, Ubiquiti (SMBs)

Plan IP addressing:

Use private IP ranges (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24)

Avoid IP conflicts using DHCP or static planning.

Add Security Layers Firewalls, VLANs, and ACLs (Access Control Lists)

Enable port security on switches

Use VPNs for remote access

Plan for Scalability and Redundancy Design with future growth in mind

Consider redundant links and failover strategies (e.g., dual routers)

🧪 Test Your Design Use simulation tools:

Cisco Packet Tracer

GNS3

EVE-NG

Before deploying a real network, simulate traffic, check for bottlenecks, and validate security.

🛠️ Tools to Help You Design Tool Purpose Cisco Packet Tracer Network simulation SolarWinds IPAM IP address management Wireshark Network traffic analysis draw.io Network diagrams

📌 Final Thoughts Network design is more than just connecting wires—it's about planning for performance, security, and growth. Whether you’re building a home lab or laying out an enterprise infrastructure, starting with a solid design can save you from major headaches later.

If you're just getting started, experiment, document everything, and stay curious. 💡

Once you change the admin security, go to the link device option. 

Now you need to search for the SSID of the host router device. Choose your network among all the available networks which you desire to extend. 

After selection the screen will ask for the password of the main network with which you wish to connect the extender. 

Now, enter the password and step ahead to create a new network name for your netgear ac3000 setup. 

After deciding the network name, form a security key as well. Keeping the network secure is very important. While creating a security key you should create at least 8 character passwords. 

Once you make changes in the wireless network security, remember to check for the firmware update. 

Tap on the submit option at last to end the setup and then test it. 

Netgear AC3000 Network Boost

To boost the network you have to perform a network test. This will help you know what exactly you should do to boost the network:

Check the network by using a smartphone, link it with the netgear extender network and browse the internet. 

In case the coverage of the device network is weak as before in the area previously you were facing trouble then you need to relocate it. 

Again search for the location and then test it again. 

In case the device is not receiving proper signals from the router device then relocate it and put it closer to the router device. 

Also you should check the firmware version of the extender. If required then update it. 

Stepping ahead you need to boost the network by eliminating the nearby radio frequency device or heavy metal objects.
