  • The r4s doesn’t have eMMC where as the r6s does. I just left the SD card as rw, I’m not too concerned about failure, I’m hoping for some wear leveling built in, if not SD cards are cheap. I should probably clone the disk and have a cold spare SD card.

    Storage wise I’m using 17. 63MiB of 29.38GiB, I think I may have bought a too big SD card Ram usage is around 88MiB of 3.87GiB I have got a couple of more things to set up like wireguard but as it stands I’m glad I went the openwrt route over a full server install


  • I looked at the nanopi r4s and the r6s when I replaced my router. I did consider doing it all myself but in the end settled on the r4s running opwenwrt, I think it took all of 5mins from download to working system. The benefit been the openwrt image has uboot included so only one image need writing, also web interface out of the box

    Don’t think of it as an installation, it’s writing image files to disk. I prefer using gparted or disks when working with partitions. Then use dd for the actual writing as I can quite easily see I’ve got the right partition from gparted/disks. Got that wrong a couple of times 😅



  • Consider this; you were taught Microsoft <product> in school as it’s used in work environments, Microsoft <product> is used in work environments as it’s taught in schools or the person making the decision was only taught one product.

    Why do you think Microsoft is giving free upgrades from windows 10 to 11, same thing from XP upwards. It’s vendor lock in, and that’s bad for many reasons






  • My wife hates been called “luv” mainly old dudes that think they are been nice, so she calls them luv back. Maybe someone needs to be greated every morning with with a nice big smile and a good morning flower.

    Also if the getting left on your own for a smoke break when busy happens, just go for a smoke break with her, or be on your phone and say something like “I don’t know where Sarah went she just disappeared, oh wait I’ve found her outside having a smoke break, do you want me to tell her to come back inside”

    As it’s a uni job it’s now your mission to wind her up as much as possible, don’t worry about bad references or CV gaps if anything goes wrong.

    Also look up constructive dismissal
