Could be some 8-bit Guy hate. Not everyone enjoys watching him destroying vintage hardware ;3

I've noticed that some higher end routers, with those thick looking antennas, actually fit a PCB antenna in them.
Usually you'd get a thin wire inside the external antennas.
I wonder if those PCB antennas are better.

How can /rg/ even compete?

Since when do Americans like Doctor Who?

Older Dr. Who shows were great. The afro dude with the extra long scarf was my favorite of the series.

Which offers the ability to easily switch on and off for port forwarding?

all of them

I have an Asus one and it's a pain in the ass to get to each time in the settings
I want it on for like a certain period of time each day and then automatically shut off idk if that's possible

make a cron job

Should I choose squashfs or ext4 for the filesystem of OpenWRT? I'm installing it on a 120 GB SATA SSD for an x86_64 system. I want to make it easy now and later to maintain and upgrade the image.

While you can opt for ext4 on x86 targets that have enough storage, SquashFS being read-only means you can effectively reset your device (factory state just wipes the overlay partition which stores settings and packages you added after flashing). With the ext4 images, to my knowledge, you get none of that, since your root filesystem is just a writable ext4 partition.

Of course, using sysupgrade -F with a fresh image would do the same as a factory reset (minus the wear on your storage)

anyone have a Belkin RT3200/Linksys E8450?
thinking about getting one to use as an AP/managed switch with openwrt for my pfsense router
