I'm talking under $100 or $50 I generally go for sketchers when we're talking cheap have a beat up pair that are 10+ years and still good for throw on shoes.

New Balances are built pretty good and are comfortable with good ventilation, I have crooked ankles and they actually sell slanted soled shoes, they make walking so much more natural and comfortable.

Sketchers too if you go for their hiking boot/shoe style, they're built solid

Nike Revolution 4 (ONLY gen 4) running shoe. I buy only these when I need new work/activity shoes. Gone through, I think four pair in the past few years. The gen 5 goes too high up around the ankle area, causing sores. Fours, though, are the one, for me at least. Won't buy any other shoe. But...you pretty much have to go to eBay for 'em these days. Search for the highest-rated sellers, and take it from there to buy new. They're usually around the $75 (USD) mark. Plain whites are usually cheaper.

I wear specifically only Nike Flex Run 3s. I have a bit of a weird stance--my ankles are slightly angled outward and I have like, zero arch, so regular shoes hurt a ton. I wore Converse hitops for years and never understood why it hurt so much to walk for years, until I went to the doctor and was told to wear shoes with better support. Annoyingly, Nike seems to have discontinued the Flex Run 3, and the 4 absolutely bites, but luckily, there's still a decent amount of stock at old brick and mortar stores like Kohls. Just wish I could find better colors lol

    Google isn't very helpful anymore, you get recommended loads of crap that doesn't solve the thing that you're looking for.

    @K3Nv2, afaik yeah but I also don't think that it runs on home grade routers like openwrt/dd-wrt does. OPNsense runs on full-on x86 PC hardware
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Sadly openwrt seems to be dying for support unless it's just. Anew name
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    idk, I mean it had a new release back in March https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/releases
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Not sure how recent hardware it supports though
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    I've turned more features on in OPNsense lately and it's getting kind of high on RAM usage, I see. Probably bump that up to 4GB soon
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    eventually this desktop is going to act as a server too, just for the hell of it. Because this PC is WAY fucking overkill for how little I use it.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    And once I do that, my desktop OS that I interact with is just going to be a virtual machine and use GPU passthrough to connect everything
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Send it to me ffs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
