Open Source Router Firmware OpenWRT 15.05 Released
aglider writes: The newest stable iteration of the famous and glorious OpenWRT has just been released in the wild for all the supported architectures. The latest version is 15.05, codenamed "Chaos Calmer" after a cocktail drink, just like all previous ones. Major changes from the official announcements: "Linux kernel updated to version 3.18. Improved Security Features. Rewritten package signing architecture based on ed25519. Added support for jails. Added support for hardened builds. Improved Networking Support. Platform and Driver Support." For the full details you are welcome on the forums while the firmware itself and extra packages are available from the distribution servers.
Yes there is... the exciting part would be the closing some of the one thousand open bugs and providing documentation.
I'm still sticking with my Netgear DGND3700 v1 DSL modem/router all-in-one with its excellent custom firmware which includes Annex M support (for higher upload bandwidth) which my local carrier (Sonic) allows customers to toggle on.
OpenWRT supports the router only but state that they will never support the DSL modem unfortunately.
Oh my God, thank you!
That slight grammatical error totally obviates any rational point poster has. Thanks to you, and you *alone*, I scrolled all the way back to the top to find out just what, the fuck, you were talking about.
You are the hero that nobody needs. At any time. Or any place
You don't want centralized. Ever. Monolithic is stupid when it comes to computers. See Microsoft Windows 10 Global Spyware Edition and how many of it's previous versions were botnets before Microsoft became the botnet itself.

The Unix philosophy emphasizes building short, simple, clear, modular, and extensible code that can be easily maintained and repurposed by developers other than its creators. The Unix philosophy favors composability as opposed to monolithic design.

Modular programming is a software design technique that emphasizes separating the functionality of a program into independent, interchangeable modules, such that each contains everything necessary to execute only one aspect of the desired functionality.[1]
systemd should not exist, but if they want to play with it...it should be one distro only. the systemd distro. solved and everybody is happy that doesn't want to sneak control of all linux processes worldwide.
honestly, systemd shouldn't exist. there are no benefits and it's sneak code. Again, see what Microsoft did with Windows 10.
