Damn, I still don’t have a setup to listen my records. 😕

Q: How do we destroy the ecosystem?

OpenWRT saves settings. It’s what’s in the backup, and that’s what allows the router to return to operation after a power cycle.

Things get can sideways when settings are persisted across updates. There is an option to persist settings, but there are fewer headaches when settings are wiped and restored from backup.

This gets even worse when packages are in play. Packages aren’t reinstalled when the backup is restored, so any packages need to be tracked then reinstalled after an update.

You’re opting to self-manage the router by installing OpenWRT. You are the QA department, and it’s up to you to make sure everything works and any manual changes are made.

In a production setting, no not at all. Updates need to be QA’d before being released, especially network equipment updates, to prevent outages.

The Turris Omnia is OpenWRT based and does auto updates, but the Turris is also $300-$400 dollars.

Installation of OpenWRT from stock depends on the device. Some devices are more involved than others.

Updates are not automatic, and they require planning with some down time. The process is backup settings, update wiping out settings, reapply settings by uploading backup.

I do not install packages. That leads even more horribly complicated updates. I don’t recommend using anything that isn’t in the stock image.

LuCI is serviceable. It’s not pretty, or the most intuitive, but it works.

OPNsense is better if you have the x86 hardware around to run it.

Interesting.

What are the hosting details and contrib guidelines?

And some other random notes…

“Best practices for securing Linux” could probably be dropped. There are enough of those, and the topic could overrun the focus on firewalls. I could see a secure network section, but Linux might be too broad.

What about opening it up to FOSS firewalls and networking in general? The BSDs, Illumos, Haiku, and others could be added. Linux could be the starting point, and the others could be added as people feel like it.

I like pointing out compilers exist, and there is a chapter in “The Pragmatic Programmer” about creating scripts to auto generate code.

Wow, 30min is really generous.

I bet that was really nice. 🙂 As someone who takes red eyes, showering when I get there would be preferred.

That looks cool. The specs look good. 16GB RAM, 1TB storage. 😄

The reviewer is correct, a Snapdragon 8 gen 2 processor would have been nice.

The reviewer doesn’t mention it, so I’m going to guess it doesn’t have UEFI, ACPI, or upstream Linux support. 😔 (I want to run Fedora on this thing.)

A mobile home. Don’t worry you’ll be able to rent one from Uber for the night soon enough.

Ugh. Bougie homeless. Just sleep in your car like normal people. 🙄 /s

I do want sleep pods at airports.

Wow, the innovation gap is real. US is falling behind. Are they going create a new code for the Influencer or make the officers do the posts?

“We couldn’t do this without the support we get from Halliburton! Like and subscribe, and checkout our sponsors! 👍🏽”

Thank you, and please!🙏🏽

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback back from someone who has used it. 🙂

Carrot and the stick, except there is no carrot.

Watch “bussing kids to the meat packing plant” be the issues which gets the US to setup reliable and quick public transportation. 😆

The local meat packing plant has job openings.

Thanks! I didn’t want to give Bezos traffic.

Also, I would skip that thinking it’s a hacked, religious dating site. 😆

Did you read the second sentence? RPi needs to pick a lane, or have two targeted product lines.

For example, the MacBook Air is fanless with a lot more IO, and the Thinkpad X13s is also fanless with a lot more IO.

They are obviously not direct competitors, but they are examples of hi performance Arm silicon on the market.

The RPi is still kind of crappy, but it now requires active cooling. Crappy without a need for active cooling that’s more forgivable.

Probably form factor reasons. The RPi5 doesn’t break the form the RPi3(?) set.

Not bumping the PCIe lanes to 4-8 is disappointing. So is now requiring active cooling, not using USB-C for the USB3 ports, and PoE being unusable without a hat.

It’s probably time to add a higher end “pro” line to let the “education” line focus on power efficiency, tiny form factors, and low cost.

Also, did they fire the cop they hired?
