    Skynet Curl "no URL specified" error when changing Skynet blacklist

    Attempting what seems like a simple Skynet change to me, switching to firehol_level1. It generates a curl error that I'm unable to solve so far. I assumed it was OK to use FireHOL's URL as the input and that could be my mistake. What's the right approach here? Input Custom Filter List URL...

    bcm63xx_nand messages - gone after time change

    Ah yes, I thought that this post from last year matched my own situation and found no other useful matches from Google. I'll look for another thread, if one's out there.

    Thanks, switched to cloudflare time and will see if we notice a difference.

    How to unblock UDP port 123 and NTP time sync

    I'm running Mac, so went with similar Unix calls (nc). Each one to several time sources via port 123 returns 0 (success). I let my colleague know that these tests are getting through, so we'll see if there's something wrong with the PI itself.

    bcm63xx_nand messages - gone after time change

    I changed my router's time source twice today, once to time.cloudflare.com and then to time.cloudflare.com:1234. System log shows the same sequence as above each time after I made those changes.

    How to unblock UDP port 123 and NTP time sync

    I'm a native English speaker and also missed what the pun might be! Your XKCD link is perfect for this situation.

    How to unblock UDP port 123 and NTP time sync

    The PI's part of a test rig run by a colleague who already worked around the blocked UDP port 123. I'd like to understand how it got blocked in the first place, as I can't recall doing anything that would block it myself. :eek:

    How to unblock UDP port 123 and NTP time sync

    I've made this change and will indeed see how things go! Not sure yet how to unblock UDP port 123. Any thoughts there?

    How to unblock UDP port 123 and NTP time sync

    Devices on my network work as expected most of the time. I've dealt with the occasional tough-to-understand issue, included an inability to use Google Assistant on smart speakers. Today, a colleague tested my Internet connection using an LAN device and told me this. "The raspberry pi was...

    amtm AMTM reports bin.entware.net as unreachable

    ...although, now that I think about it, is there a less-impactful way to reinstall/repair entware than zapping everything on the stick? This router runs Entware armv7sf-k3.2 See available packages list here: https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/Packages.html 1. Update and upgrade Entware...

    amtm AMTM reports bin.entware.net as unreachable

    Ha, now know I should've backed up JFFS before the update. Will run a clean install of the USB stick.

    amtm AMTM reports bin.entware.net as unreachable

    OK, sounds like one of those small issues that can follow a dirty update to the latest wrtmerlin. Will set aside time to do a clean install and see if that solves things.
