  • I forced it on our office over maybe 15 years ago, I’ve finally just about stopped receiving complaints. The vast majority of the push back was document compatibility, but not in the way you think. The problem was the original document was created by a fucktard or opened by one, so many people don’t know how to correctly format a document using styles, know how to use page breaks, line breaks, etc etc. that’s us recieving documents and creating documents. To be fair I didn’t initially fully understand this as well, but it literally took me 4 hours to read the manual.

    Other problems include Microsoft’s fuckery using a supposedly open standard and allow proprietary code/content within the same open standard.
















  • The r4s doesn’t have eMMC where as the r6s does. I just left the SD card as rw, I’m not too concerned about failure, I’m hoping for some wear leveling built in, if not SD cards are cheap. I should probably clone the disk and have a cold spare SD card.

    Storage wise I’m using 17. 63MiB of 29.38GiB, I think I may have bought a too big SD card Ram usage is around 88MiB of 3.87GiB I have got a couple of more things to set up like wireguard but as it stands I’m glad I went the openwrt route over a full server install


  • I looked at the nanopi r4s and the r6s when I replaced my router. I did consider doing it all myself but in the end settled on the r4s running opwenwrt, I think it took all of 5mins from download to working system. The benefit been the openwrt image has uboot included so only one image need writing, also web interface out of the box

    Don’t think of it as an installation, it’s writing image files to disk. I prefer using gparted or disks when working with partitions. Then use dd for the actual writing as I can quite easily see I’ve got the right partition from gparted/disks. Got that wrong a couple of times 😅
