  • Admittedly I haven’t used Omada even though my gear supported it (before I flashed OpenWRT on it), but I don’t think it bears any resemblance to Ansible except in the most basic sense of being able to accomplish administrative tasks somehow.

    What I was expecting was something that would provide a web dashboard showing all of my OpenWRT (and ideally, misc. other devices) at once, maybe with a nice diagram of the network topology and stuff like that.




  • EDIT: I talked with a guy and totally forgot an important point, does reflashing the hardware prevent me from using features with the vendors i listed? I know companies can suck

    If they’re software features and OpenWRT doesn’t implement them, yes. That’s not really the fault of the hardware manufacturer, though; that’s just a tradeoff you’ve chosen to make.

    For example, I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to use Ubiquiti’s UniFi or TP-Link’s Omada software-defined networking to manage your OpenWRT-flashed device, but that’s just because OpenWRT hasn’t implemented it, not because installing it trips some kind of DRM fuse or whatever.

    (I think OpenWISP might be the OpenWRT-compatible Free Software equivalent for that sort of thing, but I have yet to look into it myself so I’m not sure.)


    Otherwise, I haven’t personally heard of any vendors intentionally sabotaging their hardware such that it disables itself when flashed with OpenWRT, but that’s not the same as an affirmative statement that it can’t ever happen.

    That outline is like the entire continental shelf, or all the area where the glaciers are directly over rock (as opposed to having ocean in between), or something like that.

    But if the ice weren’t there, not all of it would actually be above sea level:

    Might actually be smaller than Australia if the ice were gone, give or take things like sea level rise and isostatic rebound.


  • Considering that they surprised us with it rather than including it in the public experimental branch, I think there’s a reasonable chance they’ll be updating it once they get some player feedback. It definitely feels like a stub that’ll get expanded in the future.

    Also, even if each lever or adapter can only transmit one bit of data, with enough of them you could encode whatever you want…











  • I would flip the whole chart diagonally so it lines up better with the political compass. I’d equate “corporate” with “right” instead of “authoritarian,” and “niche” with “libertarian” instead of “left.” Also, I would replace “independent” with “community/nonprofit.”
