Ask me anything.

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

Or even $50 a year with like 5 GB included and pay-as-you-go afterward.

But yeah, $30/mo is more than I pay for my single line that also includes hotspot.

Most of my devices I was able to flash it right to it (or TFTP boot the installer and go through the steps via console cable). On x86, you just flash a boot image with dd. The hardest “install” was to a batch of enterprise APs where I had to attach a programming clip to its flash chip and use a Rapberry Pi to burn the image. After that, though, I could update them normally

If you’ve reached this point in your OpenWRT install, turn around. lol. I only kept going because I thought I was bidding $12 on a single Aruba AP-105 and ended up getting a lot of 20 (for $12), so I had to figure out some use for them.

Usage is pretty straightforward through the web UI (LuCI). For some more complex configs, it’s sometimes challenging to figure out the UCI syntax to configure (when I was playing around with B.A.T.M.A.N for example) but otherwise is pretty nice.

I read on OPNSense guide it needs 2gb ram

Good to know, thanks. I haven’t deployed it in years (have been using OpenWRT which will run on a potato). Getting ready to build a new router/firewall myself, but I don’t think the 2 GB is gonna be a problem. Have been debating sticking with OpenWRT or going to OPNSense.

Aside from being a little power hungry, then that should do the job. opnSense or OpenWRT should run really well.

Yeah, it would make a beefy router for sure. Wouldn’t be very power-efficient, but would handle the job well.

Outside of that, you’re most limited by the 512 MB RAM. Adding a larger drive would be an easy/cheap upgrade (though it may be SATA II speeds or possibly SATA I).

If you use OpenWRT for your router OS, you can also install AdGuard and get a bit more use out of it.

If you can add an HBA for better SATA speeds, and have room in the case, it might make a halfway decent NAS (or backup NAS).

The contraceptive pill has caused sex reversal in some fish populations – leading to a collapse in numbers and local extinction events as male fish reverted to female organs.

Great /s. I fully expect conservatives to suddenly start pretending to care about pollution and fish die-offs now that they can blame it on something they want to get rid of.

On a lighter note, the article did remind me of that episode of King of the Hill where Hank accidentally buys crack cocaine thinking it’s fishing bait.

Perhaps it’s not as active as I’d assumed. I only semi-recently subscribed so mostly have the initial fetch.

Lol, is that why they removed scores from the API? 😆

Interesting.

Still, site bans for criticizing China is just as bad, if not worse as mass community banning.

Oh, absolutely lol. Definitely one of those cases where you didn’t know what you had until it’s gone.

Yeah, same. Nothing against BH (I understand their reasoning). I end up just crossposting stuff there.

Ah, gotcha. Without doing the math, I assumed it was basing it on UTC or something.
