Because Europe, but as you can see the OpenWrt One makes no sense when the BPI-Wifi5 is half the price and the R3 is a 35€ more expensive but has multiple ethernet posts, SFP and a ton of other IO. In fact even for the US market I don't see the price of the OpenWrt One making any sense, because the others are cheaper over there as well.

I have no complaints about their QC but well, samples are samples.

Or... a decent Openwrt router like the Banana Pi BPI-R3. I believe the only argument for those kinds of devices is the Wifi support but I don't believe the price and specs on the device shared by the OP are reasonable at all. If you don't need Wifi, then yes, a good SBC and a cheap switch will be a much better alternative.

It didn't. The article and the marketing around the device is all bs. https://wiki.banana-pi.org/Banana_Pi_BPI-R3

Yeah would be way more smart to do the opposite.

Check this out, the router from the link for someone in Europe:

Now the other ones:

I guess you get the point, all Openwrt routers and the last one is much much better in all ways.

This device specs vs price aren’t appropriate in any way. There’s no point paying 100€ for something that only has 2 Ethernet ports, doesn’t have modern WiFi and only 1GB of RAM and an older CPU.

Besides the whole title and movement is a but misleading because the guys from Banana Pi shipped multiple boards already that are built for OpenWrt and have things like WiFi 6 in that price point. One of them is the “Banana Pi BPI-Wifi6 Router” for 60€ and more expensive the Banana Pi R3 that that just makes a lot more sense.

I feel you bro.

Sim tudo bem, agora explica-me desde quando é que esse artigo é cumprido no que toca a todos os portugueses que não cometem crimes e que vivem e trabalham em Portugal? Principalmente para as gerações mais novas e para os mais idosos, em que os preços da habitação não são adequados aos ordenados, pensões, recibos verdes e outras precariedades que aí andam? Não é. É prioritário dar habitação digna a essas pessoas, depois, talvez e apenas se tivermos condições daremos aos criminosos.

A habitação social serve para ajudar quem mais precisa e deve existir, tudo bem.

A questão é, as pessoas que são ajudadas pelo estado devem pelo menos cumprir a lei. Que sentido faz ofereceres casa a alguém que no minuto a seguir vai cometer um crime ? O crime é um atividade opcional (pelo menos quando não se prova o contrario) como é que o governo (nós) podemos apoiar alguém que comete um ato opcional que prejudica a sociedade no geral?

Quem é pessoa suficiente para precisar de um abrigo e pedir ao estado, também é pessoa para ter dois dedos de testa e não cometer crimes de forma voluntária.

É bem pior ser construída habitação social, normalmente com padrões de qualidade elevadíssimo

Conheço alguma e sinceramente não vi padrões "elevadíssimos". Agora se estás a comparar os padrões da habitação social construída com a habitação mais antiga de por exemplo Lisboa, sim é de muito melhor qualidade... mas isso não quer dizer que a habitação social foi mal feita, quer dizer que as casas mais antigas são muito más e o retrato de um país pobre.

Hello,

I've been using Armbian on a bunch of ARM SCBs and they have a very nice MOTD on SSH login that shows CPU, RAM, Storage and networking infromation.

Is there anything similar for a regular x86 machine? I tried to grab the scripts from a NanoPi M4v2 board but had to change a ton of stuff to get it working on x86 and it isn't portable as AMD and Intel report temps differently. Or... does anyone know if their x86 version has it working and where to get?

Just for reference I'm talking about this: https://cdn.tcb13.com/2023/armbian-motd.jpg

Thank you.

"This page links to various Linux performance material I've created, including the tools maps on the right. These use a large font size to suit slide decks. You can also print them out for your office wall. They show: Linux observability tools, Linux static performance analysis tools, Linux benchmarking tools, Linux tuning tools, and Linux sar. Check the year on the image (bottom right) to see how recent it is."

 

After a few conversations with people on Lemmy and other places it became clear to me that most aren't aware of what it can do and how much more robust it is compared to the usual "jankiness" we're used to. In this article I highlight less known features and give out a few practice examples on how to leverage Systemd to remove tons of redundant packages and processes.

Especially for homelab owners:

Have you ever felt like there might be something wrong with your current approach to installing and managing your services? Have you figured out how massively bloated systems are becoming with Docker and tons of little "helpers" that at the end of the day have dependency issues, are hard to understand and modify? Maybe you just want to squeeze a few extra miles out of a memory-tight system such as a Raspberry Pi. Deep learning Systemd will give you an edge and a better understanding about how your systems work and improve your workflows.

And yes, Systemd does containers. :)

Hello,

I'm looking for a unit converter written in JS / client-side only that I can self-host / add to a bunch of tools I already use.

I was looking for a suggestion to get something similar to the good old https://joshmadison.com/convert-for-windows/ but that runs a browser.

Thank you for your suggestions.

 

Hello,

I've an HP EliteBook 840 G5 that I've been using up until now with Windows 10. I want to replace it with Debian 12 however since this is a laptop I would like to have my disk fully encrypted as well as the boot stage (initramfs etc).

My threat model: make sure if someone stoles the laptop, powered off, they won't be able to access my data. I would also like to avoid evil maid attacks and make sure I'm not booting into some modified kernel / system with spyware or that will leak my TPM keys.

I've found some information online but I'm unsure of how secure those setups are and/or if it isn't even possible to have the same level of security that Windows provides.

Here are a few of my questions:

  • Anyone around here that has a similar HP laptop and did this?
  • What about enrolling secure boot keys on the UEFI? From what I read simply using the typical Linux shim makes things more secure but it doesn't fix the problem. Enrolling keys seems to break some motherboards
  • Even if I use --tpm2-pcrs=1,4,5,7,9 how secure is that, should I add more?
  • What is the impact of this in system upgrades? How do I deal with those?
  • If I want to proceed with this what I should know / what typically fails or can be problematic / security issue?

Some of the information I found:

Thank you.

 

Here is what I don't get about Wine. Even in 2023 it seems to fail to handle basic Windows software written in 1996-1995 like the classic convert.exe (https://joshmadison.com/convert-for-windows/). This program and others run flawless in ReactOS for instance, why not under Wine?

Another things I don't get include:

  • Why is Wine is still stuck on that Windows 98 style GUI instead of a more modern thing;
  • Flickering;
  • How can ReactOS, that shares code with Wine, run everything way more smoothly?

For reference I'm using Debian 12, Wine 8.0. Also tried with Soda 7.0, same results.

Hello,

In Angular 15, there was a deprecation of class-based Guards and Resolvers, which has sparked discussions regarding this decision. The deprecation of these interfaces is seen as a regression that goes against established software engineering practices. Some argue that there wasn't sufficient discussion on the topic.

Deprecated: Class-based Route guards are deprecated in favor of functional guards. An injectable class can be used as a functional guard using the inject function: canActivate: [() => inject(myGuard).canActivate()]

Deprecated: Class-based Route resolvers are deprecated in favor of functional resolvers. An injectable class can be used as a functional guard using the inject function: resolve: {'user': () => inject(UserResolver).resolve()}.

This move doesn't seem right and I started an issue here https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/50234 and there's also discussion about this here https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/47924.

To raise awareness and gather feedback from the community, I ask everyone to engage on the discussion.

Thank you.

 

Hello,

I'm just posting this as a warning to anyone using Cryptomator for serious stuff. I've been using it in not-very-critical stuff for some years now and the reality is that I've had data loss on multiple occasions under Windows.

I had two major incidents:

  • After creating a vault in Google Drive (via Cyberduck) it worked fine for some time but eventually the vault was empty;
  • Long file names seem to f*k something and the files simply vanish after opening the vault a few times.

If you google "cryptomator data loss" there are a LOT of complaints and frankly I'll ditch it now.
