What hardware would you recommend for AP's and dedicated Firewalls? I really value open-source so bonus points if it works without blobs or the hardware is open or has available schematics.

Altough a bit expensive I have looked at Protectli firewalls as an option as the option to run OPNsense and coreboot is attractive.

For an AP, the Banana PI BPI-R3 (R4 if I'm patient) sounds interesting being open hardware and supporting OpenWRT. I am however curious on if it would run on LibreCMC.

You can suck on IQ tests and still be smart you know.

Biking is based. The benefits far outweight the cons compared to the other private transport we have today. I thought the hate was almost exclusive to cars from what I've seen which is understandable. At least in comparison to bikes.

I doubt what the dealer says is true. Intentionally or not. I don't really believe cars do us much net good anyway. Public transport and biking/walking for the win.

I'm all for consequences towards megacorps. Especially in my own country.

Presearch. I don't care for the crypto features. (I already got Monero anyway) but the concept of a decentralized search engine is interesting.

Looks quite good. Wouldn't mind this as the logo

Among other projects I belive is beneficial to the world. It's Libre software and provides free (CC-by-SA) knowledge without making you a product. I only made a one time 3$ donation but I might donate more in the future.

Performance? Not really no. I believe C is slightly faster with Rust and C++ competing for second place. The benefit is safer code as Rust is built with performance and safety in mind. It highlights what potential errors can be found where making human error way less common. Instead of potential null errors types are wrapped in an option enumerator which ensures you know there can be a lack of a value. Expections are also enumerators done similarly with a result object so you know which functions may fail. Instead of using memory and potentially forgetting to free it we have the ownership system.

Using Jerboa still. Nice to have it from F-Droids official repo. Did use Infinity for Reddit before I deleted my account around aweek before the protest. But only the Reddit version is there currently
