Did you manage to get IPv6 prefix delegation working with dynamic prefixes? Best solution I found involves scripting to re-build config files and restart a daemon, where OpenWRT just does it out of the box.

Curious: how did you set up firewall (nftables?), IPv6 delegation both ULA and public prefix? Happy to read if you have a write-up somewhere.

Ah but the keyboard... The worst ever keyboard since ZX81. Would it be your next customization maybe?

Try Alt+RightClick and drag. Not so easy on a trackpad but fine with mouse.

At my electronics engineering school we had access to everything we needed to mass-produce those decoders and did so at a reasonable scale to pay for our studies. That was a lifeline. Knowledge of TV signals gave me my first job, during which I got to work with the guy who designed the scrambling system and had a chance to thank him in person. Small world.

If I understood correctly, the link between ULA-based address and host name is done through a DUID. This is assuming that DUID values do not change over time and can easily be harvested from everything you want to connect to the local network. What guarantees that DUIDs are fixed and easily collectable? What are the solutions if they aren't?

Genuinely curious: how do you maintain a local DNS to make sure you can always designate 'printer' and 'intranet' by name?

And if you only have one, no need to run Omada. Completely controlled from the AP web interface.

"with AES-NI the system should be easily able to push the full 1 Gbps of traffic through Wireguard"

You were probably thinking of OpenVPN? Wireguard is not based on AES and thus has no use for AES-NI.

Having a generic "Send to" would only solve a part of it though. There is currently no standard way of connecting the two ends of the same cable to two computers and expect them to exchange files without heavy configuration on both sides. Wireless goes the same way.

They even have a decimal clock dated from the French revolution: 10 hours per day, 100 minutes per hour, 100 seconds per minute. Total of 100k seconds/day, making seconds a bit shorter. Was largely ignored, only lasted a few years. The computer section has a ZX81, a ZX Spectrum, an Oric Atmos, and a Commodore 64 on display if memory serves me right. All my childhood computers, feels weird seeing them in a museum. My kids were amazed by the first calculators made of paper and cardboard.

Ah but sockets are only an illusion that fall apart under the next tunnel. Mobiles are not constantly connected, they use a wireless packet-based network. The only way your mobile is registered as part of a network is because it is the one polling stations at regular intervals. Can't go the other way around, really. How could the network know you are now out of that tunnel? You may want to have a look at how APN are implemented on iOS to see how a push is in fact a poll from device.
