Re: [Make-wifi-fast] [Bloat] [Cake] New board that looks interesting

[Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com>]

I think I'll wait for y'all to try it and report back. I trust my
apu2s and I actually kind of like they lack a graphics chip and need
to be configured via serial port.

In other news I've started testing ubuntu 20.4, which among other
things, has wireguard in it. I've been really frustrated with the
state of distributions lately, trying to get any complex thing done
has required snaps and docker containers and I really prefer running
stuff natively when possible. Tools that I still rely on like mrtg and
smokeping are undermaintained, trying to get zoneminder to co-exist
and co-install with anything else (notably jitsi thus far) has been a
real PITA.

I am pleased at the increasing size of the ipv6 deployment, my phone
got it last month....

I think I've found a babel bug with default routes...

and I fired up a kernel build to go hack on the ax200 chips.
