• 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 / 2 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 / 3 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

• Show HN: WireHole New UI Makes Managing WireGuard Clients Easy

  - AdGuard, as a replacement of PiHole, never went back Every time I tried to move it to a container-based solution (Portainer is quite helpful), I went into problems here and there, adding more complexcity in terms of another network layer, container volumes, updating with dependencies in view. Is it me getting old and lazy? Anyway, travelling around the globe being able to surf via homeland ip ranges, reverse... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
