March 2025
Pupdate March was reasonably dry (and even sunny sometimes), so the boys were able to get out for some nice long walks :) Milo also finished his third chemo protocol. I’m overdue a diary post about that, but the short version is that he’s doing well :) Skiing The month started with me skiing in […]

February 2025
Pupdate February was mostly cold and wet, so no particularly long walks for the boys :( FOSDEM The month started with my first trip to FOSDEM, and it was quite an experience seeing something like 8000 geeks descending on Université libre de Bruxelles. Day 1 was all about getting a feel for the event. So […]

GL.iNet MT-6000 Flint2 Review
TL;DR The Flint 2 seems to be a pretty awesome router. It was a little fiddly to set up my (quite complex) existing VLANs and wireless networks onto it, but it’s been working without a hitch since then :) Why? I’ve had a Draytek 2866ax router paired with an AP960C access point for about 18m[1]. […]

October 2024
Pupdate Autumn is definitely here, and it’s been wet enough that the boys have needed their coats some days. The good news at the start of the month is that Milo’s treatment is working, and he’s back in remission :) Travel The end of the month has been quite busy for travel. NYC One of […]

Background At home I have a bunch of SSH tunnels from a VM to my various virtual private servers in various places around the world, so I can direct my web traffic through those exit points when needed. I’ve written before about using autossh to do this. But when I’m travelling I don’t have my […]

Background A travel router has been part of my kitbag for many years, starting with a D-Link DWL-G730AP back in 2007. More recently I’ve been using a few GL.iNet GL-MT300N (v2), as they’re small and cheap enough to have in my work bag and my travel bag. I wasn’t particularly worried about speed, as I […]

January 2021
Pupdate He’s getting more used to the rhythms of life with us. There’s obviously a distinctive sound to my lock keyboard keystroke, as he’s up and stretching before I’ve had a chance to change my glasses. Speaker fix I was watching The Midnight Sky[1]. It has a bunch of scenes in a spaceship, with very […]

Using 1.1.1.1
TL;DR One of the best features of Cloudflare’s new 1.1.1.1 DNS service is the privacy provided by DNS over TLS, but some setup is required to make use of it. I put Unbound onto the OpenWRT routers I use as DNS servers for my home network so that I could use it. Background Yesterday Cloudflare […]

TL;DR I need local DNS for various home lab things, but the Windows VMs I’ve been using can be slow and unreliable after a power outage (which happens too frequently). Moving to BIND turned out to be much easier than I feared, and I chose OpenWRT devices to run it on as I wanted reliable […]

The United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has introduced ‘software security requirements’ obliging WiFi device manufacturers to “ensure that only properly authenticated software is loaded and operating the device”. The document specifically calls out the DD-WRT open source router project, but clearly also applies to other popular distributions such as OpenWRT. This could become an […]
