    I get an IPv6 address from my ISP (a /56 I believe), but I wish there was some good information on how to update my OpenWRT VLAN configuration, routing, and firewall rules to be ab…

    They also have the guarantee that the code licensed under the GPL, and all future enhancements to it, will remain free software. The same is not true of the MIT license's weak-copy…

    My keepass database has around 400 different entries in it. If I needed to transfer to a new password manager, it's not feasible to go around to 400 different sites to register new…

    It's great to see more git documentation, and I have a lot of respect for Beej's Guide to Network Programming. However he really needs to work on his commit hygiene. I get that thi…

    I think technical people understand the mechanics of using Passkeys, having them backed up to multiple devices etc, but there's no way my 70 year old father is going to be able to …

    So do I, but this is annoying because I need to have physical access to both of the keys when setting up 2FA on an account, or hope that I remember to add the backup yubikey when I…

    Bah, not open source, rather BSL licensed. Stop it with the open-washing already!

    Up until 2 years ago, I used to use an HDHomeRun Prime with a cablecard for just basic cable (only a dozen or so channels) because I had terrible antenna reception in my apartment …

    This has already happened unfortunately. In my area (Boston) nearly all of the ATSC 3.0 channels were encrypted the day they went on the air (CBS, ABC, NBC). As a result, they are …

    Maybe, I don't have another eMMC board to test with, but compared to my RPi 3 with an SD card, the eMMC feels way faster. Very noticeable doing an apt upgrade. Note I use all of my…

    My Odroid-C2 runs a mainline kernel. I use it headless, so I'm not sure about graphics support, but its been otherwise extremely stable. It did take a year or two after release to …
