   I think strip mining is a decent analogy as well, so long as you include the fate of the participants. Take diamond mining as an example. The miners themselves tend to be dirt poor, and searched for stuff of value on exiting the mine, yet t

   I would be very interested in learning how to go about getting a well funded core team for an open source project (libreqos.io). We are increasingly popular, but still lack a business model. I too tend to reject most friction-creating and v

   Not enough people born after 1980 have read either version of the dictionary, which is a shame in having a unified vocabulary across more of the internet. A companion volume with new terms, events, and foci would help. I am glad Monty Pytho

   I am better at email. Oh, the ath10k used to suck! :/ https://forum.openwrt.org/t/aql-and-the-ath10k-is-lovely/590... A sore point for me, is that yes you do need FQ+AQM on your fiber link, and if you are r

    I hope you use sqm-scripts also. It works on any linux. I have worked hard to make the ath10k work well on everything. mt76 is pretty good now, the mt79, coming along. The wifi stack we developed for openwrt is now the default in linux for

    I still use it on x86 a lot. The apu series runs forever on 5 watts. The openwrt gui is better than systemd. It is easy to setup vlans and tunnels on openwrt. That said, I do wish strongly that the wifi market would have a decent card for y

    I too wish that we could easily use everything as an AP. My vision back then was that we would go meshy for everything. For many years I had full adhoc support (babel and batman protocols) and could go from device to device, from ethernet t

    Greg had had an early idea about traffic alerts, which actually worked pretty well, but it did not monetize. I dont know when he gave up on it...

    Ironically we never did get the VERY EXPENSIVE 20MB IDE flash drive to work, to replace the floppy disk. I still have it.

    Linux was good for me too, I escaped SCO and then dodged the bullet of NT. It was so nice to switch from being tied to wires, to many hours with table service at local coffee shops in santa cruz like the Perg, and 420 union, in Santa Cruz.

    I kind of gave up on using the central box as a wifi router, and just put bridged APs closer to wherever they are needed. Simpler, and you can do more stuff on your firewall that way (like use it as a NAS)

    I have been working on openwrt since the mid 2000s. (the work we did on that wifi project turned into a job for me at the embedded linux maker, montavista - greg stayed on the server side and made a pile, I didn´t) These days I don´t really

    I appreciate the loan from greg´s banker (his mom) all the more now. Without that... well, I still expect we would have had wifi, but perhaps only a for-pay-by-the-minute version from boingo. We (greg and I) later fought hard to get free wi

    I actually started with fidonet in the 80s. I am glad linux was so accessible and useful instead, in the 90s. There were no girls on fidonet as best as I recall.

    Wonderful to see you all reflecting on that history and sharing your own stories. Fun times! I have a lot of stories from the 80s, for example from the armory geekhouse, where the di-hydrogen-monoxide scare originated... Greg and I and Ever
