  • And openwrt is capable enough?

    Yeah it’s insane right? Every address is reachable when I open a port range. And it’s like there are ~ 10 predefined services (HTTP/S, SMTP, …) and the category “All other ports” where also 22 is part of. So I really have the choice to either keep everything shut or leave everything wide open.

    I think I can’t use my own modem but I’ll have to double check with my ISP. But yes the Wi-Fi is also provided by that router and it’s also quite crappy.










  • Probably not what OP is looking for.

    But I’m also happy with my Garmin Instinct. I use it disconnected from my phone, it does everything I need offline and stand-alone. To add tracks for navigation I just connect it to my linux laptop and drop the GPX file into the NewFiles (or whatever it’s called) folder on the watch. I was surprised how well it works without official apps. The only thing I used the app for was to update the firmware when I bought the watch.

    Also, fittrackee looks promising - thanks for the tip!



  • I migrated my home- and webservers from Debian to FCOS a while ago and I’m very happy with how everything works.

    Troubleshooting butane/ignition was a bit of a pain in the butt but worth it imo. I suggest just reading through the FCOS docs, they guided me well while setting everything up. I use podman on my webservers and docker on the homeserver (bc nextcloud aio is not fully podman compatible). I use the installer to build a pre-configured ISO that I can deploy where I want to.

    Someone in the comments mentioned Flatcar, which I think looks compelling as well, since it’s basically the same but more of a community effort.


  • I think this is a step in the right direction. Everyone can lose a portable device or it can get stolen, so protecting the potentially sensitive data is important.

    I think what people are complaining about is not full-disk encryption itself, but the fact that people are not used to being responsible for their cryptographic keys.

    I think we should educate people regarding this responsibility. We did it with regular keys we use to unlock our homes.
