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...

Ubuntu is part of the Google Code In



Yesterday I received an email that make me happy! I received an email from an Ubuntu Mail list, that was almost dead. In few words, the email said Ubuntu is going to be part of the Google Code In . This are great new!

But why I have a lot of interest that Ubuntu is part of the GCI?

Well. the first time I listen about the Google Summer of Code and Google Code In, was on 2010. Ubuntu was part of the GSOC and I was on college, months later the GCI began, unfortunately I was to old (18 years). So I began my work on trying to be part of this program. I tried on 2011 and failed with KDE, 2012 with New Vision for Public Schools and in 2014 I finally did it with the BeagleBoard.org!

This year I help the BeagleBoard.org as a co-mentor and I'm planning to help Ubuntu for this Google Code In as a mentor. For my surprise I have an old friend working on this, the great José Antonio Rey. If you want to help join the irc:#ubuntu-google on freenode  or the mail list: ubuntu-soc mailing list

What is Google Code In?

The Google Code In is an invitation to  pre-university students ages 13 to 17 to take part in Google Code-in, a contest that introduces young minds to the world of open source. With a wide variety of bite-sized tasks, it’s easy for beginners to jump in and get started no matter what skills you have.

Understanding Liveness, Readiness and Startup Probes in Kubernetes

 This is a small article about understanding the liveness, readiness and startup in kubernetes.  There's good explanation in the kubernetes documentation: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/ This video also explains well the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTlQBofihJQ But I wanted to understand it in a practical way. So I have this demo: https://github.com/DiegoTc/guest-book-js-docker/tree/Running-App-Version-1 It's a simple application running on a kubernetes cluster. https://github.com/DiegoTc/guest-book-js-docker/blob/Running-App-Version-1/argo/deployment.yaml apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: chat-ui spec: replicas: 1 revisionHistoryLimit: 3 selector: matchLabels: app: chat-ui template: metadata: labels: app: chat-ui spec: containers: - image: diegotc/guestbook:20230803-064434 imagePullPolicy: Alwa...

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

Introduction Designing a mobile app today goes far beyond building a beautiful interface. Native apps — whether for iOS or Android — need secure authentication, user role management, real-time communication with the backend, and scalable infrastructure to support growth. In this post, I’ll walk you through a clean and modern architecture to connect native mobile apps to a robust backend on AWS. The architecture is modular, scalable, and aligned with best practices for security and performance — without relying on overly complex tools. Why it matters: apps today are more than just UI A production-grade mobile app often includes: User login (email, Google, or others), Differentiated access for multiple roles (e.g., user vs admin), Secure token-based communication, A backend capable of handling business logic and data, Data storage, asset management, and scalable APIs, Compliance with Google Play and App Store requirements. All of these require a backend architecture ...

Getting Docker Syntax In Gedit

I have been working with docker in the last days, and encounter the syntax issue with gedit. Just pure plain text. So make a small search and found an easy way for fixing this. I found Jasper J.F. van den Bosch repository in GitHub and found the solution for this simple problem. We need to download the docker.lang file, available here:  https://github.com/ilogue/docker.lang/blob/master/docker.lang After that, you go to the folder you save the file and do the following command. sudo mv docker.lang /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/  If this doesn't work you can try the following: sudo mv docker.lang  ~/.local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/ And that's all!
