Computer programs are not afflicted by gravity, thus you can stack them up however you like and as long as the instructions are correct it will work. -

翠星石 (suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com)'s status on Tuesday, 03-Dec-2024 18:34:35 JST 翠星石 @lxo @jas @amszmidt @redstarfish @conservancy A free software low-power router really isn't hard if you're going so far to make a custom board design - you just select a decent SoC like the QCA9531 and then you have 100BASE-TX and 802.11n; https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/free-software-wireless-n-mini-vpn-router-v3-tpe-r1300 (LibreCMC and not the proprietary "Open"WRT too).
Alternately, you could select a SoC with free drivers that implements 1000BASE-T and/or PCIe and then include a mPCIe or PCIe slot, which a freedom-respecting and GPLv2-compliant 802.11n card can be inserted (of course that would give the user the freedom to replace the card with whatever they want).
I already had a full GNUbooted server with 2 1000BASE-T ports, so I just made that the router and put a Qualcomm Atheros AR928X card in to get Wi-Fi, rather than getting a separate router (routing performance is negligibly improved as there's one less hop and you can get IPv4 without NAT). -

Simon Josefsson (jas@fosstodon.org)'s status on Monday, 02-Dec-2024 01:55:07 JST Simon Josefsson @conservancy Interesting project! Why did you choose to support hardware with proprietary firmware in it? Ethically this doesn’t seem all that different from encouraging buying an Apple Mac which also contains a mix of free and proprietary software in it.

翠星石 (suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com)'s status on Monday, 02-Dec-2024 20:25:14 JST 翠星石 @blenderdumbass There is an updated build including windows version, but it requires proprietary software to build, thus GNU won't endorse it.
Of course the GNU/Linux version is fine; https://icecatbrowser.org/In conversation from gnusocial.jp permalink Attachments

All original mp3 patents have expired (and free mp3 encoders/decoders exist), but many, many invalid patents on audio encoding mathematical schemes that arguably apply to mp3 have since been granted.In conversation from freesoftwareextremist.com permalink -

VGA makes life easier as it just works.
Proprietary HDMI, minidisplayport, USB-C all make life harder.

翠星石 (suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com)'s status on Sunday, 01-Dec-2024 23:12:06 JST 翠星石 @azureazure @lucy Although thankfully the mp3 patents have expired, mp3 was always a terrible format and should not be used for practical reasons alone.
If you care that much about storage space (many, many FLAC's will fit a 1TB HDD), you want opus, as that can encode better audio quality at a smaller or the same space than mp3.In conversation from freesoftwareextremist.com permalink -
