    Did you manage to get IPv6 prefix delegation working with dynamic prefixes? Best solution I found involves scripting to re-build config files and restart a daemon, where OpenWRT ju…

    Curious: how did you set up firewall (nftables?), IPv6 delegation both ULA and public prefix? Happy to read if you have a write-up somewhere.

    Ah but the keyboard... The worst ever keyboard since ZX81. Would it be your next customization maybe?

    Outside of Tokyo you can still easily get one of the other regional IC cards [1]. They can now all be used everywhere in Japan including the Tokyo subway, provided you don't start …

    Try Alt+RightClick and drag. Not so easy on a trackpad but fine with mouse.

    At my electronics engineering school we had access to everything we needed to mass-produce those decoders and did so at a reasonable scale to pay for our studies. That was a lifeli…

    If I understood correctly, the link between ULA-based address and host name is done through a DUID. This is assuming that DUID values do not change over time and can easily be harv…

    Genuinely curious: how do you maintain a local DNS to make sure you can always designate 'printer' and 'intranet' by name?

    And if you only have one, no need to run Omada. Completely controlled from the AP web interface.

    "with AES-NI the system should be easily able to push the full 1 Gbps of traffic through Wireguard" You were probably thinking of OpenVPN? Wireguard is not based on AES and thus ha…

    Having a generic "Send to" would only solve a part of it though. There is currently no standard way of connecting the two ends of the same cable to two computers and expect them to…

    They even have a decimal clock dated from the French revolution: 10 hours per day, 100 minutes per hour, 100 seconds per minute. Total of 100k seconds/day, making seconds a bit sho…

    Ah but sockets are only an illusion that fall apart under the next tunnel. Mobiles are not constantly connected, they use a wireless packet-based network. The only way your mobile …

    True enough, this is in concept the very same as Apple Push Notification (APN) service. Difference is that you are in charge of the server side and handle all the security and upti…

    And yet, this is exactly how push notifications are implemented on mobile phones. You have the illusion to push a message from server to device while in fact you also push a messag…

    They also had pictures of the team in ROM. You need to activate the debug switch and then jump to the right address. Shown here: https://youtu.be/wiTlRENwbXM

    Good point: Mbed OS is only for ARM-based processors. The main difference lies in the vast number of drivers it offers, which is the reason why you already have 100+ supported boar…
