Looks like I could use https://github.com/PNDeb/pinenote-debian-image on my PineNote.
This looks great. Is there by out-of-the-box usable e-reader that supports SSH? Air still has some manual steps/maintenance. For comparison, I've used PostmarketOS on Pinephone, and it required a lot of fiddly to get a…

I agree with his issues with dependencies. But I'm not sure about his other stuff. "Avoid features that add disproportionate cost" I expect part of the problem here is that it's often not clear what the value of…
+1. I think that about summarises it. Window managers can plausibly already do a lot of what other software can do, yet in practice, popular workflows tend to assume very little from the window manager. I try to avoid…

+1. It's nice to have to a set of programs I moderately care about, so when I'm learning another language I can port them to it. They're unimportant enough that I can comfortably experiment, but important enough that I…
Size is a limiting factor for so.e hardware and architecture too. NixOS works well for x86-64 and aarch64, but not so much armv7l, as so many consumer routers are. The PC Engines happens to be x86-64 with decent storage…
I had a look more into this. https://www.reddit.com/r/openwrt/comments/114kv0y/weeding_ou... has some people with the problem that I'm trying to avoid. I see the fresh re-install suggestions probably work but that's…
Good job on raising that issue. TIL SSTP. > Nobody actually cares about security for packages that are not in the default install. Probably an exaggeration, but it's clear there are some packages that are insecure…
systemd-networkd sets up a LAN interface, which Kea then serves DHCP for. CoreRAD is about the same thing, but for NDP instead of DHCP. I could have used systemd-networkd for serving DHCP and NDP, but prefer to use…
For wireless I started with the PC Engines miniPCI cards, but moved to a seperate AP for wifi6, and because hostapd was not fun. https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/eap615-wall is the device I use as an AP, which runs…
Tracking config via VCS is great, but the automatic changes is what then makes it tricky to understand what you've actually configured.
There's hardware that has the form factor of a router, but is powerful enough to run an ordinary Linux machine. PC Engines, various ARM64 SBCs.
Me too. My TP Link EAP605 is an AP running OpenWRT. Works well.
Not that I'm aware of. systemd-networkd + kea + corerad is the software I use.
I use a https://www.pcengines.ch/apu2.htm with a separate wifi access point. That's EOL now, so nowadays I'd look to ARM e.g. https://radxa.com/products/network-computer/e52c
OpenWRT is pretty great at offering features and security for consumer devices. Glad to see a release! I used it for a while, but after I've had it for a few months, and want to improve/diagnose something, I can't…
Do we know how the human brain performs addition? I know how it's taught. Internally it has aspects of long addition, and caching, but I don't do perform that algorithmically. How then does that map to the physical…

It's impressive that volunteers are stepping up to archive this. I understand the desire to keep this open data available. How much of this sort of effort results in that data being used? Are there success stories for…

It's good to see EU funding for open source, and for getting software easy to build, as Nix does. Bravo to the EU, NLNet and the NixOS contributors making this possible!
Those Debian tests are great. Good coverage, run on PRs. A little obtuse in parts, but still great.
Yes, the ergonomics are poor. I endure them for the results, but the ergonomics should be better. Guix has better ergonomics, but it's own set of downsides. I expect the underlying idea of holistic declarative systems…
