    OpenWrt devs had this epiphany many years ago: https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/ubus https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/ubus#what_s_the_difference_... (no endorsement implied; in par…

    Which doesn't mean that it's easy to use an ARM device in the way I'd want to (i.e. as a trouble-free laptop or desktop with complete upstream kernel support).

    I guess you must be doing trickier things than I ever have. I've found docker's emulation via qemu pretty reliable, and I'd be pretty surprised if there was a corner case that woul…

    Surprising. Cross compilation too annoying to set up? No CI pipelines for things you're actually deploying? (I'm keen about ARM and RISC-V systems, but I can never actually justify…

    The tree mesh thing you're thinking of is actually just EasyMesh (it's a standard!). We're using prplmesh. But yes, 11s Mesh also works. Let us know on the forum ( https://communit…

    But what if you're using mesh or running an AP? Won't the software out of the box allow you to set the regdomain to AU?

    If this is like the RPI4 with a single global model I'm wondering how it passes FCC regs, in that presumably the Wi-Fi is flexible enough to transmit on illegal US channels (i.e. C…

    They do have: https://github.com/jolibrain/colette/blob/main/pyproject.tom... I agree it's better to have the full licence at top level, but is there a legal reason why this would …

    Search for WiFi HaLow. (I work for Morse Micro; we can do 30mbps udp)

    On most openwrt devices you can compare /rom/etc/config to /etc/config (though this will get you a bunch of automatic changes as well).

    I like it, but it feels funny to have this discussion without acknowledging this is really similar to pjax/turbolinks. Ok, now I'm feeling better; carry on!

    The sweet spot in my opinion is to use an ordinary Linux box as the router and just wire up whatever wireless router(s) you have lying around for the APs (give them a static addres…

    Figure out why docker and snap are broken? --- You could use https://wiki.debian.org/nspawn unless it's really old.

    I believe you can somewhat mitigate these concerns by reading and removing the secrets on startup, ideally whitelisting the entire env.

    Yeah, good thought, though I worry that would add another layer of planning and make it seem more like work. Probably should do Mik.

    Thanks! JOSS is definitely one of those 'heh, this sounds fun' things, despite being pretty useless. I too am pretty obsessed with the colour changing; I'd love to implement it so …
