    XTERM - Did I mess things up?

    Use AMTM to manage Entware packages, then do your own tweaks. I'm just guessing you passed that step.

    News RT-AC68U End of Life Announced by Asus

    I have the RT-AC86U to thank for the introduction to embedded Linux hacking, on an ancient kernel. So I wrote a little poem: Oh my 86U, how many halcyon days have we shared, You started off strong and lifted our little acre into the modern age, But even you, with your robustness and ability to...

    VPNMON POLL: Who is your preferred VPN provider?

    I recently switched from Mullvad as they have discontinued the ability to port forward. I switched to Torguard as it continues to allow port forwarding, and you can purchase anonymously by using merchant gift cards, like CVS, to pay. You can use other forms of payment like crypto, but its hardly...

    Alternative to pfsense/Opnsense

    NAS questions

    I went with a Synology DS220+, loaded with 2x4TB drives. Works great, running a media server with a docker app.., accessing storage remotely. I am happy with the apps provided on my phone, seems well made. As far as storage, you have to anticipate what you'll need in the future. If you store...

    Compare and contrast Synology 220+ vs 218play vs QNAP TS-233-US

    Just got a 220+ myself, in Synology's Raid 1 config. Great unit, having Docker is really helpful, I run Jellyfin on it. My backup plan is a USB backup disk for critical stuff. Here's some Raid and Backup advice. Op- Yeah so the Media Server on Synology is adequate for a flac streamer, my Naim...

    VPNMON POLL: Who is your preferred VPN provider?

    I use Mullvad, besides being in Sweden, it allows "anonymous" payment through Bitcoin (at a 5% discount). I've been happy with it.

    Security problem

    No, get a handle on you allowing malware on your machine. No firewall out there is going to protect you from the internet if you are the biggest threat to your own network.

    AC86U 2.4ghz lost after factory reset on 386.4

    The 2.4ghz in my vinrtage 2017 AC86U started acting up under 384, but after updating to the 386 codebase it became even more unstable and I turned it off. This does not appear to be related to firmware or even the Broadcom drivers, perhaps excluding the overheating hypothesis you allude to, in...
