I think they are saying if you use VyOs on Proxmox it gives you something equivalent to JunOs. I have no idea if that is true or not though.

Related they let you download the entire documentation in an LLM friendly format.

Their front page documentation specifically mentions it: https://manual.mikrotik.com/docs/introduction#machine-readab...

Personally I would get a used Dell Optiplex / Lenovo ThinkCentre / HP EliteDesk. Either the "mini" / "micro" if you really want small. I am a fan of the SFF (Small Form Factor) size and the Dell Optiplex models. In particular the 70XX versions that offer Intel AMT / vPro for remote management.

I run a Proxmox server on my Dell Optiplex SFF 7070. With the SFF size you can add two low-profile PCIe cards, if desired. In my case I added a 10Gbit NIC.

The reason I would go with a used Dell / Lenovo / HP is that these tend to be well-built machines that run for years and years 24/7 in offices and proven to work well.

I'm using the free DNS my registrar provides, which doesn't provide API access unless you upgrade to their paid DNS service

I use Cloudflare for DNS and it is free to use the API.

No, I didn't, because I quit GitHub when they started demanding mandatory SMS 2FA

They haven't demanded that of me. I have 2FA with a Yubikey and a TOTP app.

I don't ever recall giving them my phone number.

So? I don't see any issue.

I always use FQDNs for everything.

I do the same thing. I'm not worried about them seeing my FQDNs.

I use the form of hostname.int.example.com for everything inside my home network. None of which is accessible to the outside world. I use LetsEncrypt with DNS validation to get the certificates.

Most ordinary working people can't afford the cost of installing a system. Even a portable one.

I just watched a video where a person bought a £200 portable unit. He was using it in the UK and said he spent about £0.89 / day. And I'm assuming they won't use it for that many days a year.

Seems affordable enough for "most ordinary working people"

I've been using it for over 2 years now. I'm quite happy with it. I like that I don't see adds and my searches aren't being used to target ads against me.

Same. I've gotten over 30 I think.

Thanks. When I tried to use the https://www.githubstatus.com/ link it wouldn't let me submit. Now I will remember to use the incident link in the future. I hadn't noticed that before.

Even though this post was done first, by around 15 minutes, it seems like most of the discussion is in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46646645

I started paying $7.99/month for Google Play Music in June of 2013. And it is now YouTube Premium and still $7.99/month.

Have you done this? How do you know this is true? Are there reports of trusted 3rd parties who have verified this?

The binary blob issue has been brought up since back in 2020. And since then very little real progress has happened from what I can tell.

I am not willing to use the software due to that issue. It just seems suspicious.

I use cash so I don't feel pressured to tip when buying donuts

I'll believe it when it happens. The maintainer hasn't done much regarding this for over 5 years. There are issues raised about this back in 2020 and not much has changed. It just seems suspicious to me. But I might be paranoid.

I'm not willing to trust it.

I can't read this article because of the paywall

I just turned on reader mode in Firefox and then refreshed the page and got the article. I'm surprised how often it works. It often doesn't but sometimes it does.

They just released v3.0.0 of the EdgeRouter software three days ago.

https://community.ui.com/releases/EdgeRouter-3-0-0/33ee3852-...

But yeah they haven't released any new hardware in quite a long time. But nice to see they are still doing development work on the software.

Current Honda hybrids are like that. The only time the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) is directly connected to the drive train is when the speed gets to above around 60MPH. The rest of the time the ICE is used to power a generator which then sends power to the electric motor and/or the battery pack.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLUIExAnNcE has more info.

and merely being present at a protest, while not engaging in any violence, earns 32 months in prison [3].

[3] https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/aug/08/pens...

From the article: William Nelson Morgan, 69, was sentenced to 32 months in prison, having previously admitted violent disorder and carrying a cosh during a riot on County Road in Liverpool on Saturday.

Sounds like he engaged in violence and was carrying a weapon.

You weren't alone. I was actually using 1.1.1.2 and then quickly added 8.8.8.8 once I figured out the issue.

I have taken cloud images and set them up with 'cloud-init'. So I can bring them up very quickly.

I use VMs myself. I use Proxmox and have it setup so that I can spin up a fresh VM in around 10-20 seconds when needed. I also like that I can take snapshots.

I really want to limit the amount of software I am installing on my main system due to possible security issues.

One of the reasons I set Kagi to "lower" results from medium for my searching.

I wonder how that works legally with CLA. If the person who originally wrote the code is not the one who signs off the PR. I assume the lawyers have signed off on it.

Did they maintain the author's copyright notice as required by BSD-3?

Well Valkey has more commits to their repository then Redis does, and more contributors. So it appears to be active.

Seems different to me. Containers allow you to have different cookies per container.

It is built into the latest version of Firefox. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

Personally I like it :) Tastes differ.
