• Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi

  That's a good point, but the array of devices supported by the DietPi team is extensive: https://dietpi.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi

  I used dietpi [1] for similar reasons: a slim version of Debian, and with the defaults set to push all the logging into ram to minimize writes. Dietpi has opinionated defaults, for sure, but it's easy to choose something else (e.g. Dropbear is the default ssh server, but bumping to OpenSSH is a matter of changing a setting in the handy config tool). I've been running an RPi3 on an SD card as my secondary PiHole... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• The Orange Pi 5

  Before someone starts the usual yadda yadda about the RPi biger community, the OS not having long time support etc. I would repeat one more time: do not rely on board vendor supplied images; this is valid for pretty much all boards. Just go to Armbian or DietPi pages and you'll almost certainly find one or more images that work on your board and forums to discuss about them with very knowledgeable people.... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• OpenWrt One/AP-24.XY: new open source router board by OpenWrt and Banana Pi

  > bananapi do a lot of boards but their software story has been a bit poor This is quite common with other board manufacturers too. I'd rather suggest to ignore completely their cobbled together distros, often also tainted by proprietary modifications, that become unmaintained in a few years, and see if they're among the many supported by Armbian or DietPi. https://www.armbian.com/download/... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Recommendation for a wifi router with L2TP or other VPN server support?

  If your current router supports a custom firmware like openWRT then you could do this without having to buy a new one. Source: 5 months ago

  Unfortunately, I can't create an account via Github on the openwrt site. Source: 8 months ago

• openwrt.org not loading

  Anyone else having trouble reaching openwrt.org right now? I can't get the forums, main page or downloads. I've done plenty of troubleshooting and there isn't anything else on my network having trouble reaching anything else on the internet. Source: 8 months ago

• Things just got a little weird, my current network is down, I'm a newb trying to start from the ground up and I found out I actually have another (newer) wifi router.... what to do?

  On the router. openwrt.org has lots of great documentation that lays out exactly what you're looking for and then some. Source: 11 months ago

• As of June 2023, what is the best router that I could buy specifically for ease of use with all things pi-hole related

  Is the Verizon one a combined modem/router? If you want to add your own router, you might have to call them and ask them to put it into bridged mode. I like OpenWRT because it gives you a lot of customization options. I've just been running it on an old TP-Link Archer C7 for the past 5 years or so and I haven't had any issues, but that's ancient hardware now. Source: 11 months ago
