Die Technologiestiftung Berlin will mit der Kiezbox 2.0 eine solarbetriebene, dezentrale und resiliente Kommunikationsinfrastruktur für Berlin entwickeln, die Umwelt- und Sensordaten erfasst und in Krisensituationen gemeinsam mit weiteren Kiezboxen ein unabhängiges WLAN-#Mesh-Netzwerk bereitstellen kann. Dazu sucht sie eine Person als Embedded Software and Network Engineer in Festanstellung für einen Job mit #OpenWrt, Wi-Fi + #LoRa Mesh.

#OpenWRT v25 apparently has new-version checks built in.

Funny, because of the manual method, I was 2 major revisions behind. Oops.

Мониторинг электричества в доме с помощью OpenWrt + Modbus TCP

Уже второй сезон я строю дом. На этапе подведения коммуникаций появилась идея сразу проложить оптику от провайдера, чтобы потом не курочить стены. Сказано — сделано. Подключив пустую коробку к Интернету, я сразу задумался о том, что это отличный испытательный полигон для разных датчиков и подобного оборудования умного дома. Пока там никто не живёт, отвал или клюки датчиков никаких неудобств не вызовет, а скорее даст полезную информацию и опыт внедрения. Опять же, пока стены не отделаны, никаких проблем "быстро и грязно" протянуть кабели для Ethernet и RS-485 по месту в целях тестирования оборудования.

Fair point indeed. So shall we file it under "rules are written in blood" and proceed to see the law adapting to this new world using those precedents?

In the 2000s the world needed to adapt to the reality of all that FOSS stuff being actually enforceable law and all and Linksys and AVM were the qualified and friendly precedents to advance the law back then.

Last time evolution to proper, sort-of stable and useful FOSS legislation took about 10 years.

I wonder what the equivalent of OpenWRT will be this time. At least that one's pretty useful, rite?

CVE-2026-72841 (CRITICAL, CVSS 9.4) affects OpenWrt luci-app-openvpn: improper instance_name2 validation enables path traversal and arbitrary file writes, risking persistent root code execution.

Being an #OpenWrt contributor I'm biased, but yes, everything you list could be improved.

The default config for standalone routers typically works out of the box.

What are you missing for the odhcpd?

От интереса до защищенной сети. Опыт с Nano Pi R3S

Мощная и действительно "нано" по размерам – Nano Pi R3S. Это одна из крутых плат, которую можно купить по низкой цене и реализовать на ней много проектов - особенно если на ней стоит Docker! Мне было интересно протестировать как там работает zapret и реализовать мою задумку с двумя сетями. Свободная и без блокировок сеть, которая еще и расширяет зону покрытия основной сети.

- 256+ MB of flash storage

So sad 😞

First day of #FOSSY was great. #3GoodThings

1. Learned about @ultramarine GNU/Linux, a #Fedora based #GNU / #Linux distro. My only disappointment is that the OS uses #Discord exclusively.
2. #FSF #LibrePhone project is going well and is still making progress that will help #LineageOS, #postmarketOS and other #FreeSoftware mobile OSes.
3. @conservancy is selling #OpenWRT routers. Free routers are an essential item in every home. Don't let your ISP control your home network.

Can't wait for tomorrow!

Wanted to change the admin password. Opened the webui (LuCI), changed the system admin password, logged out...can't log in anymore.
Neither with the old nor the new one I can get in anymore 🙈

Powerful Hardware Turned into E-Waste

What you're looking at is another unfortunate example of perfectly capable hardware becoming electronic waste long before its technical lifespan is over.

This is the AirTies Air 4960, an AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 mesh extender/access point featuring impressive hardware:

* Broadcom BCM6752 triple-core ARM Cortex-A7 SoC (up to 1.5 GHz)
* Broadcom BCM43684 4x4 Wi-Fi 6 radio with 160 MHz channel support
* Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
* Two Gigabit Ethernet ports
* Around 4.5 W power consumption

From a technical perspective, this device is still more than capable of delivering excellent performance in many home and enterprise networking scenarios.

- The Real Issue

The hardware isn't obsolete, the software ecosystem is intentionally locked down.

Many devices like this are heavily restricted by manufacturers or Internet Service Providers (ISPs), preventing owners from repurposing them once official support ends or the service contract expires.

Meanwhile, open-source firmware projects such as OpenWrt, DD-WRT and Tomato have demonstrated for years that networking hardware can remain secure, functional, and useful far beyond its commercial lifecycle.

Unfortunately, locked bootloaders, proprietary firmware, missing documentation, and closed-source drivers often make that impossible.

Sustainability Is Also About Software Freedom

We regularly discuss sustainability, circular economy, and reducing electronic waste.

Yet perfectly functional networking equipment ends up in recycling bins, not because the hardware has failed, but because users are prevented from installing alternative software.

* The hardware already exists.
* The raw materials have already been mined.
* The manufacturing energy has already been spent.

In many cases, all that's missing is the freedom to install an alternative operating system.

- A Better Approach

I would like to see manufacturers embrace a more open ecosystem by providing:

* Unlockable bootloaders
* Public hardware documentation
* Support or at least tolerance for open-source firmware
* Longer software support lifecycles

This would benefit users, enterprises, developers, the open-source community, and ultimately the environment.

Not every retired device is obsolete, many are simply made obsolete through artificial restrictions.

That feeling of power after successfully patching and compiling the Linux kernel for my Turris Omnia with #OpenWRT in order to fix a long-standing IMGP isuse. Now it just works as it did before. I'll soon contribute it upstream after some testing. #FreeSoftware is amazing!

Re-Animator - injects some fresh reagent into our dead #openwrt routers
#ZombifyAHouseholdChore

i want to try doing #OpenWRT #extroot kind of thing but with #nfs . since my #router doesn't have usb slot and its flash is 8mb.

I am thinking about putting NFS mounting after core services are up and network is somewhat operational to not have cascading network failures stemming from vps being down or chiken and egg problem with local nfs share not being able to connect to it.

like i currently want it for running #tailscale subnet router directly on router instead of running it on another device with static route on the router.

also i kinda want to try running actual #mulvadvpn cli client instead of wireguard profies to be able to use #DAITA and anti censorship features. tho i am not sure how mulvads #nftables rules would interact with openwrt firewall which uses nftables under the hood.

@jbrownesq I have 2 #OpenWRT routers myself 👍

@jbrownesq I have 2 #OpenWRT routers myself 👍

@cyberfarmer Not sure your budget but the GL.iNet Flint 2 is a good option for #OpenWrt. Others to consider are the OpenWRT One (Two is in the pipeline), Zyxel EX5601-T0, Netgear WAX 206/220 and Banana Pi BPI-R4.

I'm a very happy user of OpenWrt since the days of the WRT54g (2006'ish?).

Apparently, #openwrt got a lot of security fixes.
https://openwrt.org/releases/24.10/notes-24.10.8

Public S3 Bucket with schematics, secure boot keys, arm trusted firmware signing keys for commercially available ONTs and #Realtek xPON SDK, that usually requires signing nasty NDAs: mk-wangtong.s3.amazonaws.com

The SDK contains kernel drivers for Realtek xgspon / gpon chips. From PLOAM to OMCI – all there.

Please share with #openwrt devs and anyone you know of, who might be messing around with #GPON and #xgspon. :BoostOK:

I want to see some open-source & open-hardware ONTs 😈
