I wanted to replace DBeaver for a long time, but I have some not really common connections there (e.g. Sybase SQL Anywhere), that no other client seems to support

Vim is great but I think VSCode really is the one tool to rule them all going forward. It's extremely well designed, snappy, and I think does the correct thing of first treating everything as a text file and allowing plugins to provide semantic meaning. I never liked visual studio because it was too specific to writing software and using the GUI to do what I wanted. Editing msbuild files directly was a pain for example. If I wanted to do some shell scripting or system debugging, I had to leave that environment.

Whereas with VSCode, I really never have to leave the VSCode environment to do what I want. I can pop open a shell within VSCode and don't have to switch windows. I can easily open random files not associated with my project and VSCode does the right thing (usually). It opens images easily, renders markdown well, etc. my favorite feature is that you can pipe cli output directly to VSCode in the shell and then it opens a tab displaying that output. You'd be so surprised how often that feature comes in handy.

Does that automate login to a captive portal?

I think it is officially supported, but honestly I use firmware from GL.Inet web interface is great

I have very basic requirements: a solid router that runs, and has some free memory. Everytime that I try to find a replacement that has some wide consensus, I fail to find it. My router is now 15 years old... Some people in this thread have suggested Linksys E8450/Belkin RT3200, which aren't available in EU it seems. So, it's not easy. I'll wait 15 more years probably.
