alt Hacker NewsI designed and built my own DSL router: component selection, PCB design, and so on. When NBN upgraded the link to my home I simply went and bought a 10Gbps ethernet router. Despite any compact PC with SFP+ cages doing the same job more cheaply.
Exactly because the window of time I had for fooling with home networking had closed.
Same here, I was digging a bug in TrueNAS. I traced the bug, dug the code up, isolated it and let people know. Before doing the detailed bug report, life happened.
At least the code is there, info is there and other people are picking up the flag where I left. This is how I comfort myself. At least I was able to push the process a little further.
