When “Pre-Installed OpenWrt” Isn’t Plug-and-Play

  Lessons Learned After Finally Configuring a Raspberry Pi CM4 Mini Router (Bought in 2022) Product Mini Router built with Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 Dual Gigabit Ethernet NICs 4GB RAM / 32GB eMMC Pre-installed OpenWrt Compact form factor, fanless, low power Background: A Device That Waited Its Turn I bought this device back in 2022 . At the time, it looked like the perfect small router: Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 Dual Ethernet ports OpenWrt already installed No SD card required thanks to eMMC But like many homelab projects, it ended up sitting on a shelf . Fast forward to today — with more networking experience, a clearer home network plan, and a real need for a flexible router — I finally decided to configure it properly. That’s when the real journey started. What I Expected (Even in 2025) Even knowing this wasn’t a consumer router, I still expected: Plug WAN into my upstream router Plug LAN into my laptop Access 192.168.1.1 Hav...

.Net goes open source

This is quite a surprise. I just read Miguel de Icaza's Blog  about Microsoft is open sourcing .NET.

Part of Miguel de Icaza article

Today, Scott Guthrie announced that Microsoft is open sourcing .NET. This is a momentous occasion, and one that I have advocated for many years.
.NET is being open sourced under the MIT license. Not only is the code being released under this very permissive license, but Microsoft is providing a patent promise to ensure that .NET will get the adoption it deserves.
The code is being hosted at the .NET Foundation's github repository.
This patent promise addresses the historical concerns that the open source, Unix and free software communities have raised over the years.

How I miss you Synaptic!

Several years  have passed since we saw the Synaptic included in Ubuntu. You can found reasons here  . So in a clear english the reason was to have a better add/remove program for users. A friendly application. The explanation sounds good, I didn't complain about that, until right now. Ubuntu has change a lot, it's really a friendly user OS. I have use CLI when necessary, but today I couldn't believe it. I'm a Google Chrome user, I know you will tell me it's not open source or I should use Chromium or FF. But no. I'm a user of Google Chrome, and many people also prefer Chrome over Chromium, so why it should be quite complex remove it? If Ubuntu wants to be more friendly user why you should use the terminal for removing one of the most popular web browsers? I could understand if is a browser few people use, a good reason. But not a popular browser, Chrome is one of the most popular browsers on the world! A screen shot of the Ubuntu Software Center, trying t...

Modern Architecture for Native Apps with AWS Backend: A Practical Guide
