Only three articles in today's round-up, the last of the week.

First, a presentation from @fosdem by @olimex unveiling the Olimex-HoT, Home-of-Things - a low-cost single-board computer designed to serve as the heart of a smart home installation, using to create a server that can run in just 128MB of RAM (and 128MB of storage) - now there's a fix for the AI-bubble's memory hunger!

My first #OpenWRT test didn't go well. I've used #DDWRT for years. It's mostly fine. Needs periodic reboots. VLANs aren't stable sometimes.

I tried flashing OpenWRT onto my Nighthawk today. Seemed to mostly work OK. I logged in, got antennas activated. Then weirdness started. From a LAN wired connection, the gaming computer would get 2-5 minutes of uptime, then the whole port shut downs. Restart and it would be OK. Then 2-5 minutes later the port shuts down. Orange light. Full stop.

I went to all the trouble of setting up a "lab" router/net inside my "prod" router/net.

Now I think that lab net is about to become my VPN'd net.

Gotta decide who/what is going to serve as DHCP/DNS in each.

#PiHole on #OpenWRT ?

Today only, for a limited time only (hours!), your donation will be counted twice for the next $6700!

We're so close I feel so excited - often my advocacy is earnest discussion of the dangers of proprietary software which is important, but in this exuberance I am moved by the positive! I want more support of the GPL to do more fun things with our devices! I want to continue so we can do more building like we did with the #OpenWrt One (those shiny devices? all freedom respecting!)

@pid_eins super interesting. At @ffhl had been brainstorming with @cuechan a while back how one could provision an #OpenWrt based #Freifunk VM. Hadn't heard of #smbios before, but that seems elegant. On the other hand, it would also be interesting to provision an #OpenWrt WLAN router. For that the only option is a USB stick, I guess? Is systemd planing to add USB provisioning support? Is there a recommended/existing (file/filesystem) format for USB provisioning?

@peachfiend they run some custom version, but I think stock #openwrt is supported also.

@peachfiend maybe something from gl-inet? They are #openwrt based: store-us.gl-inet.com/collectio

i should be working. instead i am shopping wi-fi routers because i am sick to death of the AT&T-provided device.
pretty low-bar criteria, so you'd think this might be easy.
> OpenWRT compatible
> 2.4Ghz + 5Ghz bands
> available in US
> preferably under USD 150
> preferably a complete product (aka not a DIY kit)
but the OpenWRT forums are basically like, "my friend, prepare to suffer."
maybe i should just be seeking brands to *avoid* instead.

- Plane seit geraumer Zeit #AdGuardHome einzusetzen. Meine Frau sagt immer wieder, das diese oder jene Seite nicht funktioniert. Was mache ich falsch?
- Plane seit geraumer Zeit #OpenWrt zu nutzen. Geld fehlt und Zeit

Komme teilweise mit Anleitungen nicht klar. Mache alles so wie beschrieben, aber es funktioniert bei mir nicht.

Beispiel: Wollte #MatterMost mittels #Docker auf einem #Raspi3B+ installieren für internen Chat mit meiner Frau.
Funktioniert nicht bei mir.

There's finally fiber Internet near us so we're switching. The dedicated line and symmetric upload will be a huge help for moving files.

I'm considering moving from our router from #DDWRT to #OpenWRT for better #WireGuard support, more frequent updates, maybe better QoS. Any thoughts from users? It's a Netgear Nighthawk which I think is plenty powerful enough and at least acts OK for DDWRT.

Nothing to make you feel *l33t* like setting up #OpenWRT on your home network.

Such great #FOSS tech that makes very modest commodity hardware fly!

How to create a separate "Direct Internet" SSID alongside my AmneziaWG VPN setup?

Wahay, managed to get policy based routing working on my £20 edup OpenWRT router, so the French TV apps go out of the VPN and UK TV apps still go through local connectivity and I can watch the 2nd series of Mademoiselle Holmes. Result!

Now to get proper meshed WiFi working with the 2nd device.
