That's nice.
But it ruined the voice I have in my head when I read your posts.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

What was in your head? (I'm guessing something along the lines of Sam Elliot).

Little bit like that. Or maybe a little bit like Ron White.

Seriously JSOP, you sound way too calm Maybe you can record the next video immediately after spending some time in the Q&A section...

I think I'm calm because my job doesn't depend on me to work on this.

First of all, happy Father's Day to those dads out there.
The last frontier for my Unicode support was word breaking. It's monstrously difficult to do in Unicode.
This morning I turned this:
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog
Into this:
The
quick
brown
fox
jumped
over
the
lazy
dog
(The extra breaks are deliberate because you can break on both ends of a space)
Using code I adapted from this GitHub - adah1972/libunibreak: The libunibreak library[^]
which I found under the ZLib license, so win. I'm refactoring the entire thing, but I got it building without a makefile which took most of the morning.
Anyway I still have a ton of work to do before word wrapping is implemented fully in GFX but my day is off to a good start.

So to speak this is now unique code?

Now it is, but it's heavily derived from the link, and that code is just the start of what I need for word wrapping. What it is however, is a really significant and good first step.
I had been stuck on it for a long time, not wanting to tackle it and feeling overwhelmed (with the entire word wrapping functionality) so I shut down any time I'd open the project. Today I made some significant progress even if I were to put it down again for awhile. Baby steps, although this was more than a baby step.

I haven't but after reading the link you sent, frankly it's already well covered ground for me. Thanks though

Hi all,
In a few months we will move to another house.
There we will have much more space and two floors.
I know WIFI won't be able to reach all rooms in both floors.
As I need a working phone landline connected to my router (please don't ask), I think my best bet is to keep the carrier router and then add an external mesh system.
Is that possible?
I guess I should disable the router wifi and then connect the mesh to the router using an ethernet cable, but... will I loose something? is this a good setup?
Any recommendation? do you have any mesh system that you would recommend?
Thank you in advance!

This should work; I use a similar system at home. The main thing that you might lose is the ability of the carrier to troubleshoot your Wi-Fi setting (if they provide such an option). It also ensures that someone eavesdropping on your router will not be able to see traffic on the internal Wi-Fi network - only the data that goes to/from the Internet.
The main thing to check is the speed of the Ethernet ports on the carrier's router. Older routers only support up to 100 Mbps, so if this speed is lower than that of your carrier package - upgrade the router!
I can't give any recommendations; my equipment is a couple of years old, and I don't know what's available these days.

Thanks Daniel, I thought it would work, but wanted to ask to be sure before buying anything.
I will keep searching for a good device to use.
Thanks!

Amplifi HD system works well. (I have the older version, and main box + 4 mesh points), connected back to the providers router.

Seen the documentation in their web site and it looks very interesting.
Thanks for recommending it.
In Amazon I've seen this in one review:
1. You can not access the logs of what is happening on your wi-fi network. You can not see if someone is trying to attack your system or if you have a misconfigured device causing issues. The logs can only be viewed by the development team of the company, and they refuse to decrypt it and send it back to the customer. They may answer some vague question, but I have been trying for over a month now to find out if my neighbor is still trying to hack my wi-fi with only "i'm sorry we can't give you that" as answers.
2. The application can reach the AP through your firewall without you being able to configure any additional security. That means your network is connected to their hub, which is outside of your control and collecting unknown data. So it could be collecting passwords or system information. With them hiding the logs, you can not know for sure.
The Amplify over allis a great device. The secrecy and resistance to allow access to the system logs, and the connection to their service without any way to opt out gives me great pause. I have had to make changes to my firewall to block the ports and traffic it sends across the net. This makes any updates almost impossible, but I really do not want my pictures and personal documents I access over the wi-fi leaking out because of their poor security and shady business model.
As you have one, do you agree that?

It is probably a fair point, no logs. They have clearly tried to make this device as consumer friendly and just work, which it does. They have added some additional features that are accessibly via a web browser to see connected devices and network topology and where all the devices are connecting into the network and transfers, I use that quite a bit. The Viewport also works, I have used that a couple of times, effectively a VPN back into your network from anywhere that is easy to turn on/configure.
As I am away a lot, wanted something simple for the rental home use. If I was there all the time (i.e. my property), I would probably go down the Ubiquiti UniFi mesh route, although a lot more expensive option. (my UK home is kitted out with Ubiquiti edgerouter, switch and AC WiFi points)
I guess it is what you want from systems, I have had many wifi routers over the years, and I could say the same for them, that log / diagnostic features is poor, unless you go more semi-pro / enterprise level. So, see the Amplifi no different to those, the difference being, it works so much better than typical consumer hardware.
The guest WiFi feature is also great, people coming round/kids wanting access to the network, you can turn on guest mode which segregates off the internet access from home network and you don't have to give them any wifi password. No devices cluttering up and no access to you local hardware.
