Commodity hardware & open source software for the win.
When my Western Digital NAS was never going to get critical security patches, I was so freaking glad to find out that they just used software raid... I threw the HDDs in a Debian server and never looked back.
It's certainly nice to have things that are turn-key, but if you can find your way around any OS, just avoid proprietary everything.
Is DDWRT still a thing?
OpenWRT is. Not sure if it's supported on that hardware tho.
a new non dlink router. Since the should be named f-link for a number of reasons.
Same website (granted, different author, but), same inflammatory language, same vendor, referencing previous erroneous article...I'm not even gonna read this one. Just going to copy/paste my previous response from the previous post:
At a certain point it's the consumer's (and blog writer's) fault, and that's after EoL. Not patching a supported one and just getting rid of support, saying buy a newer one? Yeah, that's bad.
Continuing to not support an EoL model that you already don't support due to EoL (or even dropping support for an EoL model that no one expected you to support in the first place due to EoL)? Non-issue.
A bunch of juvenile D-Linkuents. Get it? D-Link? Nevermind....
Perfect time for users to buy something that isn't D-Link then innit.
