  • I’m not sold on GLinet’s implementation of OpenWRT. I have 3 of them in production, and all three need regular reboots to stay working. I like the VPN interface they have and the ability to get to the underlying Luci interface, but I’ve found just flashing my own device to have a more stable and deterministic result.

    I can’t speak to VLANs in specific, because I haven’t trusted them enough after seeing the rest of it to use it anywhere critical enough that I use VLANs.




  • I remember as a kid I set up one of the first private Echomail nodes as part of my RBBS bulletin board. UUCP was a big part of that, as I was the hop for other nodes coming onboard in my area. I added another half-dozen modems eventually just to handle the email traffic, then had to offload it to a university because I didn’t want to have to charge for the traffic and it was getting too big to handle. But it was pretty interesting at the time.

    I ran WoW for years on Arch until I stopped playing a few years ago. IDK what the experience is like these days, but it was fine then.

    Personally, since I don’t like the runaround to install things on Bazzite, I would use Nobara or just vanilla Fedora with your own drivers. You can use Btrfs Assistant to set up Snapper snapshots and boot entries if you want, but I’ve never seen a Fedora update fail in any critical way. Frankly, I’d be inclined to just go with vanilla Fedora since GloriousEggroll is a busy guy and updates aren’t very up to date on Nobara IME.

    I’ve been using Flutter, I like how it’s cross-platform, mostly. I’ve generally built things for Android, but the desktop (Linux and Windows) and web versions usually compile fine with no tweaking. Couldn’t speak to the iOS versions as I can’t be arsed to jump through Apple’s hoops. You can make a nice looking app with it for whichever platform you’re targeting.

    It’s very well supported, lots of examples, well documented. Not as much out there as Python for examples and troubleshooting, but not bad.
