Regretful Longing

A poem on longing for things I have taken for granted and how they make me feel realizing I still miss them after so long, even if they no longer belong in my life (for the better, or for worse, that depends on you.)

Wi-Fi setup on hAP ax^3

While Mikrotik wifi is nothing to write home about, it is still pretty usable. Do not play with frequencies and cipher suites, unless you know what are you doing. Specifically frequencies and band widths are pretty joined together, they have to fit each other. Your's don't. So unless you have a specific need, use defaults.

Spotify vs YouTube Music?

Spotify and YouTube Music are two of the world's most popular streaming platforms. Let me tell you, after a year of switching to YouTube music and cancelling my Spotify subscriptions, it was well worth it. One of the reasons I switched to YouTube music is that their algorithm is better. With Spotify, songs became boring, predictable, and even unexpected. The transition from song to song just doesn't work for me. There is no way to modify it.
