It’s always fun trying to find the next one when the previous goes out of range on road trips. Yes, we could look it up on a phone, but it’s more fun to guess each station genre as quickly as possible.

“Country, Christian, Christian country, classic rock, country, WAIT this might be NPR…”

Same. I love that it has no online features.

Thank you for posting this. I tend to get a lot of my opensource project info from Lemmy so people who take the time to post it are awesome.

Just updated my home instance. Can confirm that 10.11.7 is available in the Debian repos and the update went perfect. I got a new kernel in the same update : D

The ad blocker was from the package manager built into OpenWRT. I think tailscale was too but I’m not 100% sure since it’s been awhile.

Though, I just did a search and the first result from the OpenWRT docs shows the install from the package manager so that’s most likely how I did it : https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/tailscale/start

So, yes, very simple.

I got the gl-mt6000/flint2 about 6 months ago. I’m definitely not a network expert but I unboxed it, powered it up, and immediately flashed OpenWRT. No problems.

The only slightly technical things I’ve done with it are to install a router level ad/tracking blocker when my RPi2 pihole stopped being reliable and install the tailscale client on it with exit node enabled. Everything works fine.

I use tailscale to get to my LAN (even though the desktop is also running tailscale) for many reasons (self hosting) but the main reason is my home server is disk level LUKS encrypted. The router restarts autonomously after a power outage so I use it to get to the server via tailscale+Dropbear to remote unlock the server disk after a power outage.

I’ve had zero complaints and would recommend.
