Nice replacement topic after the maintainer drama last week

I agree with the person you’re replying to in the sense that Linus’s decision is OK, but the delivery could be less “idiotic”. This could be a different message entirely. Even a cold “Yes we have some things happening. Can’t tell more for now” would’ve been fine.

I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression?

Where did that come from? Sir this is a kernel mailing list. Why the nationality chest beating? I’m Polish and I have a smirk all day on November 4 but it’s just so childish from Linus.

Did you know that if you use the “transfer data from my old phone to the new phone” thing, only the apps installed from Google Play will be carried over? That is, FDroid apps and their data will be lost.

Man I hate how I barely ever buy anything, makes it impossible to boycott any company

As for backup, you can also buy a e.g. Lenovo M920q minipc, buy a pci-e riser, buy a dual port ethernet card, set up Proxmox, set up an pfSense (or OpenWRT, or OPNsense) VM inside, pass-through the ethernet card directly to the VM. The VM is very backupable, since you just copy the VM state and save it somewhere. This would only work for the router though, since the AP’s that’d be running OpenWRT wouldn’t be VMs. This is at the cost of having to deal with an additional layer for the VMs.

I guess the problem you’re asking about in regards in regards to cross-device portability of a backed up config is valid. If you had a four ETH port router, backed up the config, and then uploaded it on a two ETH port router, you’d run into trouble, but I have no experience here.

You can also install OpenWrt on some switches these days (PoE also reportedly works with realtek-poe module):

• https://forum.openwrt.org/t/support-for-rtl838x-based-managed-switches/57875/
• https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_standard_all?dataflt[Device+Type*~]=Switch

That way you’d have a fully open OpenWRT-only network lab, so you’d always be working with the same system.

My god does anybody else downvote an article if it’s blatant clickbait? How does it have 520 score? You were supposed to be better than r**dit remember?

Best search meta is “searchterm -reddit +forum” anyway

This is not about the smart tv tizen, no? I see the article talks about smartwatches. The naming on Samsung’s side is confusing.

For one soon HMD/Nokia will come out with a new Nokia 3310 as the first dumbphone with 5G

Maybe companies should listen to muh free market instead of realtors wanting to keep downtowns on life support
