The new repos also now includes Docker images used to compile the firmware. They are necessary now that different SDKs might need different Ubuntu versions.

Your ISP can still see all of this info since most websites don't support ESNI or ECH. Also, why do you trust more a random company from a different country that is outside the laws of your own country? Those VPN providers are great honeypots. Just saying.

Yes, he did. Read this interview: arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026… The Shield TV exists because Huang personally supported the project, and wanted it supported "as long as possible".

I had two planned client support cases that had to be postponed (two M365 mail accounts to setup and one Sharepoint permission issues). But meanwhile, I'm also without access to my personal email. Outages happen. But this is too long, @Microsoft must be held accountable.

Any new CEO will be under even greater pressure from the stockholders to maximise profits. He won't have the freedom the company founder might have had there. Things can indeed get even worse than they already were.

Imagine all the 2FAs that are tied to mailboxes currently unaccessible...

That was also the case for the beloved nVidia Shield TV. Huang was one of those pushing hard for it to still continue to be supported. For all his flaws, he did _some_ good things for the average user.

Just an advance warning that in the coming days I will be migrating the Asuswrt-Merlin repos to a GIthub organization instead of existing within my personal "RMerl" Github account. Makes more sense (and, I hate my current GH username).

It looks horrible usability-wise. Like, done by a software engineer with zero skill into User Experience design.

No. That's mostly for the Trend Micro signatures, maybe also the ASD sigs (not sure). The code that handles downloading and flashing from Asus' servers is disabled in my firmware.

Shouldn't be related, as there was no GPL change in 3004.388.13. Probably just a coincidence, the reboot from the previous webui failure probably fixed it if you had tried immediately after a failed MerlinAU update (which might have left you out of free RAM).

Ask the MerlinAU developer, I cannot help you with that script.

Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.13 is now available for legacy model. This release focuses on the migration to OpenSSL 3.5.

A year ago, getting a RT-BE96U + a Pi board would have been a better option, but with the constant price hikes on Pi boards, it's becoming less clear.

On paper I like the idea behind the GT-BE19000AI. It comes with Home Assistant pre-installed. However its high price might be problematic, and you get limited access to the AI board (i.e. Portainer is preinstalled, and no root access to the AI board).
