But they are extremely bad with their thermals and Intel is way slower than whatever AMD is pushing right now. The thing is Apple just made quite mediocre hardware. And now they're back where the competition is.

You should compare it to other than the old Apple laptops. The Ryzen models, such as ThinkPad T14 are very fast, and if you want to go tenfold from there, there is no comparison with the modern Ryzen desktop CPUs. Why Apple always failed wi

Thank you for Pebble! It was my main Diabetes app for seeing the current blood glucose directly from my wrist until my Pebble 2 finally died a year ago. It was almost like magic and had a week of battery life. The commercial matrix bridge i

Need to add now I got everything working. Element running in my own domain, connecting Signal, Telegram, Matrix federation and IRC in a beautiful way. It is a lot of work, some of the documentation can be a bit tough if you don't know

I've been in the past few nights trying to build my own Matrix server with integrations to Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, IRC, Slack et.al. It is quite a lot of work, even with the Ansible script. First was the DNS SRV record, that is nee

LXD is great. I've had it for a while in OpenWRT, but never on a CoW filesystem. Does LXD also utilize snapshots like jails do on ZFS to save some disk space? I have now only pihole running on LXD and it's ok.

I found jails kind of accidentally. A few years back I built a NAS at home and wanted to run ZFS on it, so FreeBSD was an obvious choice. I soon found out how easy it is to create and manage jails: you just start a new one from a template,

I just set a monthly 10 dollar donation for them. All my friends are in Signal. One of my favorite group chats is in Signal. My mom is using Signal, I just sent her a message I might need to leave WhatsApp, so she immediately installed Sign

How is Linux with it now in 2021. I'm currently not needing a new laptop, having the T25 and just replaced a US keyboard to it, it'll be great for the next 10-15 years. But, if I need a laptop from the company, I'd definitely

Not when running Wireguard client in it. Without I get 1 Gbps, but when having Wireguard on, we peak at 300 Mbps, loads between 3 to 5 and the CPU temperature goes above 100 degrees. I put the system now to a spot where it kind of has lots

Turris Omnia is supposedly one of these routers. I have their old model from a few years back, and it's been serving quite well for all my needs. The OS is their custom version of OpenWRT, and you can do stuff like LXC, Wireguard and a

This is especially annoying when getting to the lower levels of programming. I'm maintaining a Rust client for SQL Server, and in recent OS X versions Apple decided with their secure framework to not support the measly TLS certificates

I'm heavily invested in Linux for years already, a i3+terminal+firefox+emacs guy. I forced myself to work on Windows 10 Enterprise for a week and left kind of feeling OK about it. It's a bit slower than Linux, a bit too many movin

This is kind of weird though, but aren't developers also users? Or are they just small enough fraction of the users? Probably it just seems bigger here in Hacker News where most of Apple users are also developers...

I guess Windows doesn't break their compatibility almost ever. Linux doesn't break user-space, but of course the libraries you depend on might change in a few decades.

FreeBSD 13 is out in March 2021 and opnSense with that system much later. Might be a bit complex to go that route right now, but it might be a great choice one year from now...

It misses AES-NI though, so missing encryption hardware and would be subpar if running a VPN client for the network...

by pimeys 6y ago
How fast are the ARM CPU they have in their routers, do they support AES-NI and how much data you can push with VPN encryption through their boxes? The current ARMv7 I have goes to about 100 degrees Celsius and loads in the level of 4 to 6

I'm having already Unifi's AP's, the controller running in my NAS and a good switch for the current setup. Do you have some better suggestions for the router software? I'd love to run Opnsense, but a native Wireguard cli

Hey! Could you please share what you think didn't work so well with OpenWRT? I'm currently running a Turris Omnia with their custom OpenWRT that I know how to use and it's been working quite well. What's missing is a bet

Oh, sorry! These are available from Europe, but I've heard good things from US about similar boxes, when I searched with "best pfsense computer". Not the same brand, but similar hardware. https://www.amazon.de&#x2F

Just ordered a Chinese box with 8th gen U-series i5, 8 GB of RAM and 120 GB of SSD. Has six ethernet connections, HDMI and COM. Planning to install OpenWRT to it, and with AES-NI the system should be easily able to push the full 1 Gbps of t

If the direction is closed hardware, soon we don't have any hardware to run Linux. And I, for one, prefer an open operating system always over a proprietary one. I'm a hacker and I want hacker's OS. I'd be interested abo

I found Ziggy a great character and important part of the series when watching the series for the second (or third) time. I can find similarities between him and D'Angelo: both of them do not really fit the frame they've born into

There are a few other shows from some of the same creators: - Treme tells a story about New Orleans after Katrina. Instead of focusing on crime, it goes with music, food and death. - The Deuce's from 70's and 80's New York se

Also how poverty drives people into crime. How the longshoremen were thinking of being above the black gangsters, except when the money runs out, and people want better life. It's an essential season of The Wire.
