Asus webpage that lists the numerous technological improvements in Wifi 8. The list is longer than I expected - I wonder how many of these will actually be fully implement in most consumer products? https://www.asus.com/ca-en/content/what-is-wifi8/

Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.7 has been released, alongside a Beta 2 release for the RT-BE92U (that platform is currently too unstable for a final release). The focus of this release is bugfixes and component updates.

Feeling bored and the need for something "new", so I am trying out moving from Chrome to Firefox as my primary browser.

Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.11 beta 1 is now available for older Wifi 6 devices. This release focuses on updated GPL, the new Traffic Monitoring design introduced in 3006.102.6, and the removal of AiCloud due to its poor security track record.

@flux All that packet scheduling and radio handling is done at the hardware level, not at the software level, and requires specific hardware support by the SoC.

tls-crypt-v2 support made easy - you can even generate the client keys (signed with the automatically-generated server key) from the webui.

Another day, another bug. M365 outage hitting multiple of my customers, can't send/receive emails, and even accessing their portal errors out half of the time, so I can't monitor their incident report.

GJ Microsoft.

If you live in Brazil and can't access https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/, tell your providers to clean up their network. Multiple Brazilian IPs are currently attacking various servers, forcing my hosting provider to block entire IP ranges from Brazil.

I encountered a similar issue on my own server this morning.

I don't know if @cPanel is to blame for last night's MySQL upgrade that broke my server, but considering how they keep increasing their pricing on a yearly basis, I chose to count them as responsible for this. Thankfully they already published an article on how to revert.

@lasombra_br I suspect they might have given CoPilot a test run by having it check hyperlinks present within the code, and gone through the whole workflow of PR/review/approval.

@chiraag Another user told me he experienced the same issue. Could be a regional thing (I'm on the Canadian website, dunno what region the other user was). Could also be a site permission that`s different.

@flux @wblondel That model uses different hardware from their other higher end Wifi 7 models. I suspect that platform wasn't as thoroughly tested before launch.

Holy crap, getting wifi to work on Linux is still as painful as it was 20 years ago.

1) Need to compile and install out-of-tree driver
2) Need to fiddle with modules.d config files to get the correct regulatory region applied for 6 GHz to connect (after two other suggested fix failed to work)

All this for a lab/test setup.

@wblondel No, issues usually revolves around spontaneous reboots, clock resetting back to 1918, or Wifi dying.

@dino I was already expecting having to deal with the driver since it's a Wifi 7 dongle. The whole regulatory region mess is what really pissed me off. No average user would have been able to deal with this on his own.

@THEshabbs Exact same error. This is why near-monopolies are a bad thing - nobody tests Firefox compatibility anymore.

@vitto75 GPL merges are always documented in the changelog. If not mentionned in a release, then no new GPL was merged.
