Is this actually stock OpenWRT?

I mean is it supported by vanilla OpenWRT image?

I do like the board though.

Frankly I just want https://openelab.io/a/s/products/banana-pi-bpi-r4-pro-1 to work with OpenWRT.

The board linked to in the post doesn't have 10 G LAN, only 10 G WAN unlink. So what do people who have a 10 G internet connection do?

Yeah, it is controlled by the vendor. If you can't find the option, you will need to use `adb` to enable it that's what I did basically. You can Google it and you'll find what I'm talking about. IRC, it is `pm enable ...`.

Werner Vogels is awesome. I first discovered about his writing when I learnt about Dynamo DB.

Wait hold on, can you not simply just access the underlying volume/block device using an API? The VMs in OCI have a boot volume that is attached, so I reckon it's possible to "mount" this somehow and overwrite it with whatever data you want.

I love these kind of posts.

Nice write-up.

I wonder if something similar exists for the Snapdragon X Elite-based Microsoft Surface 7 laptops but is simply undocumented. There's a post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44426428 (The hidden JTAG in a Qualcomm/Snapdragon device’s USB port) obviously about a hidden JTAG, so I begin to wonder.

If someone more experienced with these sorts of things could chime in that would be great.

Interesting ... Do you still maintain the site?

I was going to say the same thing.

I really like the eBPF approach as pointed out to by the other comments. I feel like this is the ideal approach, please correct me if I'm wrong.

A callback based approach as opposed to (constantly) polling the output of some command is ideal.

Do some research on passwords, in particular read Bruce Schneier's stance on passwords.
