  • I just arrived in Norway and was about to search for a simple currency converter. Handy!

  • I've just arrived in Norway (literally waiting as passport control) at the start of a three-week hiking-heavy Interrailing trip around Scandinavia and Central Europe. You better believe that I've got all of Europe downloaded in Organic Maps. Also, Organic Maps is a client for OpenStreetMaps which, for detailed foot-level maps, beats Google/Apple hands down and is, of course, open source.

  • Borpborpborplorpborpnorpborpsorpborpsorpborp? Is it really you?

  • Proud supporter here. I chuck them a few quid every month.

  • I feel like you're asking that because you have an absolute zinger ready to go but you're not sure how it'll be received.

  • Unfortunately billionaires rarely try to educate themselves about the world at all, let alone gather together in a single cramped room to be educated. Still, it's a nice idea.

  • IMHO, security updates are more important than OS updates, and Fairphone is good in that regard. I'd be hard-pressed to even name a killer feature from the last few versions of Android (or iOS, for that matter).

  • If Hollywood has taught me one thing, it's that the hero is handsome and photogenic and the villain is a ugly and greasy...

    JUST SAYING.

  • An answer to a different question, but if he gets caught I hope that the media gives him the same treatment as school shooters; plastering his image everywhere, distributing his manifesto and transforming him into an antihero.

    Update: It's happening!

  • I don't think throwing words like "terrorist" around is at all fair. The guy was responsible for way more death and suffering than any terrorist.

  • Why the fuck is that mouse cursor pointing right? How did that happen? What kind of loving God would allow that?

  • Given the 2.5Gb port also supports PoE in, I think the idea is that you can plug this into a 2.5Gb PoE port on a seperate managed switch and that's the only connection you need; that's certainly how I would use it. WAN connections could be plugged into that switch, along with the APs, user devices, servers, etc, with them seperated using VLANs. Assuming everything was gigabit except for that 2.5Gb link to the OpenWRT Thing™, you'd be hard-pressed to saturate that 2.5Gb port and you'd still have the gigabit port completely free for... whatever.

  • I think you might have missed the point: with a managed switch that 2.5Gb port can be used to handle multiple WAN and LAN connections simultaenously. My home network includes two WANs and six LANs split purely by VLAN tagging and that 2.5Gb connection should handle all of them just fine.

  • It's full duplex so it's 2.5Gb each way simultaneosly. Most NICs support half-duplex but I don't know of any good reason to use that. I used to have a BananaPi based router that could comfortably saturate it's gigiabit interface. I assume there's some kind of offloading going on.

  • Most of those run OpenWrt or PfSense. Assuming the hardware is well-supported by the open source software it runs, there's a argument to be made that there's no difference. There's always the risk of them using some weird chipset that won't be supported in a year's time. The only difference is that the OpenWrt One is specifically designed for OpenWrt with well-supported hardware.

  • I also wanted to chime in with the perennial point that while this device is a pure expression of the OpenWrt project, they also support hundreds of other devices including, amazingly, a number of large switches, so if you wanted to ditch the separate route appliance altogether you could get all the features with only switch hardware.
