i appreciate you sharing this experience!! i have been considering doing something similar with openwrt. does working on the pi offer you any automation / relief from the openwrt woes you had on the old router? and why did you choose a compute module?

been trying to think of any romanticization of nonbinary people, or how one would, and my thesis is that romanticization is all about gender roles, and nonbinary people generally don't embrace those

but then i learned popeye the sailor is canonically nonbinary

Shortly before that, I was working in autonomous vehicle research. His "Tesla's are now fully self driving" complete lie was so disastrous for the field.

It made it hard to sell "AV is a solvable problem but we still need to research it, and research what we can do in a post-AV world". His cars didn't even use LIDAR!

(First, I am very happy and relieved to see you again, despite the circumstances. You are welcome here and we love you.)

But, yeah, fuck :( That's a shitty situation and I can relate to it. 🫂

I'm feeling similarly. I want these GameBoy shaped devices to target up to the PS1 (2D games, at least, like SotN), and then maybe a SteamDeck or similar device.

As an update, I got my RG35XX+ working again. Not sure why, but I might have re-flashed the firmware incorrectly. So, it's back in the running.

everyone laughed at me when i said i had an idea for interactive visualization tools which work up to 5 spatial dimensions :(

that would have been great for manifold learning, because usually you only work with 2 or 3 spaces.

if the true shape of something is 10 dimensional or less, you can explore that by umap'ing it to 5 dimensions or less

alas

So I don't know grammar good enough to know what a clause is, and I grew up where people didn't always speak "standard" english in the first place, so grain of salt, but it sounds fine to me.

I'd say "where we know them from" but that only sounds a smidge more standard

i'm picturing more of an "facebook and discord are down forever? okay, i don'y need a router"

russia and china and iran all have different examples and degrees of separation from the rest of the internet. the UK is trying to backdoor encryption in a way which will force companies to choose to compromise or leave.

in the US, we have differing censorship laws fracturing the internet across different states, and the legal framework and precedent for banning apps.

we also have undersea cables being cut, which is very new i think (november and december 2024.

i'm imagining what might happen if we have a few "we bombed us-east-1" or "texas is doing ercot but for internet" incidents in the span of a year. but it's not something worth time worrying about yet i think
