Looks like SUSE controls 2 of the board seats directly, and 2 to 3 seats are indirectly controlled by SUSE. Its interesting to watch how these organizations behave, I had the displeasure of watching a colleague interview with SUSE a few wee

> It is over 6Kbps Opus[1]. The overhead from packet headers to send data every 40ms is 9.6kbps, is the difference between 12.6Kbps and 17.6Kbps meaningful at that point? We are sending the same number of packets, likely with the same pa

Opus at 8Kbps sounds better, and commodity, inexpensive hardware like the Grandstream HT802 Analog Telephone Adapter supports this codec today (along with any cheap Android phone). Lyra as it stands today will not support anything outside o

Ah, so Lyra today will not work on RISC-V, i386, Power, MIPS, lower end or older ARM chips like the Allwinner H3 (very popular in Single Board Computers) and any other new architecture that comes out?

But is Lyra a significant improvement over modern Opus at 8Kbps? You can buy a Grandstream HT802 for ~$30 and its DSP can decode Opus today, whereas Lyra will require orders of magnitude more power to decode while providing much worse repro

PCMU/PCMA (G.711μ and G.711a) are not original landline quality audio, but rather what Bell Systems felt they could get away with passing off as a toll quality call in 1972. Lyra will likely sound better, but the reproduction accuracy

This is why I like having the controller in a virtual machine offsite. Factory resetting the router and pairing it to the same site in the separate controller gets me back to the same exact place I expect to be. With the UDM series, the int

Isn't OnePlus starting to eat the share that LG, HTC & Motorola once served? They seem to be the only ones that reliably update their software, don't have horrendous hardware issues and consistently have good LineageOS support

I don't use a UI.com account to connect to the Unifi controller I host (as I don't need their inconsistently working NAT traversal to get to my controller), hopefully the networks I support are safe due to not being entangled with

The UDM and UDM-Pro force you to set up a UI.com account, and cannot be used with external Unifi controllers like one you might run on a server, PC or cloud key (Ubiquiti's management software on a Power over Ethernet powered dongle, d

AT&T, Verizon, US Cellular and T-Mobile have all imposed fees on Application to Person SMSes, so they definitely are making more money off this: https://www.plivo.com/blog/a2p-10dlc/

Ubiquiti's router offerings are rather poor, VPNs can't roll over to WAN2 automatically, redundant tunnels are hard to configure, IPv6 support is a mess, asking Ubiquiti for support gets you an unhelpful chat that redirects you to

Will this result in the problem getting addressed? Google likely assigns these preference quirks to be low priority bugs, which when combined with an under-resourced, unprofitable/breakeven service means it will be eternally neglected.
