Managing Network Devices via #Orgmode Table and #OpenWRT Router
karl-voit.at/2025/04/18/openwr

I do maintain only one single table with all of my devices. I can control their IP and their ability to connect to the Internet (or not).

With this table, I do have a great overview of my devices and their IPs.

I thought you might like the idea ...

My biggest issue with #OpenWRT so far is the upgrade process. As in, keeping the OS up to date. The package manager's upgrade functionality, which is fully baked into the OS and its GUI web interface, prominently displays a warning at the top that tells you not to use it. Don't upgrade packages, it can and will break your system: openwrt.org/meta/infobox/upgra

Okay, then why is that feature baked into the OS at all?

Meanwhile, the sysupgrade feature, which is the recommended way to keep the OS up to date, is also baked into the OS, but only at the cli level. If you want to use the GUI web interface, you need to manually install the attended-sysupgrade package, after which point you can manually re-flash the OS whenever you want to using up to date packages, provided that you also (somehow) keep up to date about their releases without the use of a real tool to check for updates using the GUI. Why isn't that baked into the OS instead?

The whole thing is just very confusing.

I'm running a 10 year old router (a Ubiquiti Edgerouter X). I just updated it to the latest #openwrt release - I have a small service window at lunch where I can take the Internet down without impacting my work AND I don't get complaints from the family.

I love that I can still run current firmware on a 10 year old device.

Me voy a cagar en el #fútbol, en #LaLiga y en todo lo que se menea. Llevo horas sin poder acceder a ningún dominio de github.io hasta que me he preguntado: no será por el fútbol, ¿verdad? No sé ni cuándo hay partidos ni me interesan, pero la duda estaba sembrada. No he encontrado nadie que mencione que las IPs de github.io estuvieran explícitamente dentro del bloqueo, pero me ha dado por probar el Policy Based Routing que tengo configurado en mi #OpenWRT para que sólo esas IPs salgan por una #VPN de #Proton. Y sorpresa, ya accedo sin problemas a todas ellas. Estoy que trino.

Unfortunate news today that an internet friend and important engineer Dave Täht died recently. Dave was responsible for the bufferbloat project and the development of the Cake qdisc in the Linux kernel. He also pushed for much better control of latency across all internet hardware. He's a major reason why cable modem all have queue management algorithms. I interacted with him off and on for 15 years or so. He was about 59 years old so far too young.
