  • Yeah of course! Once I went on a buying spree of used WNDR3700. They were so cheap and I won a few too many bids at once.

    I gave one to a flatmate when we lived together as students and he took it with when he moved out. Put one in the office room of my current flatmate and still have one or two in reserve. I usually take one with me to LAN-parties.

    Before that I once used DD-WRT on a WRT54GL. It also wasn’t bad from what I remember.


  • You haven’t mentioned what sort of access link or speed you have, that seems very relevant here.

    For my 1Gbit/s fiber connection the Edgerouter 6P has been pretty good. It has an SFP port and can route 1 Gbit/s of traffic without issue and my dual-stack setup works well too.

    The only significant downside is that its switching is slow, it has no hw support. So I put my NAS on a separate subnet instead so that the traffic to it can be routed instead.




  • When I first played DOOM I was a bit afraid of the monster sounds. I would usually ask my little sister if she could color her things in my room so I wouldn’t be alone while playing. I was way too bad to ever finish the game back then. I used to ask my father to make me “untötbar” (unkillable) because the word “unverwundbar” (invulnerable) was too difficult for me.

    But I really like the reboot and DOOM Eternal especially.











  • “in the lab” is always a dangerous one. If the Tokyo U people only just demonstrated that hard carbon electrode, then who knows if it can be produced at an industrial scale and if that can be done economically. Even if it can, maybe there is still enough time until production picks up that one more technological refresh on the LiFePO4 production is justified in the mean time.

    Besides, there is some inherent inertia, in research, in the markets, in politics. Even if a clear technological winner emerged suddenly some researchers would still have a year or two to finish their grant and publish their findings, some production lines would produce until their eventual superior replacements come online and the stocks would be sold off, and some subsidies would still be payed out until a new law could redirect the funds to only support the acceleration of the new best thing.



  • I just read today that the newest version of ROCm (5.7.1) supports the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, the first consumer GPU to have official support in a long time. That one is about three times your budget, so there is no way to get an officially supported one. Reportedly some unsupported models work too, but I’d say you’re looking at a lot of hurdles here.
