I will post an update once I manage to do the mSATA-SATA SSD mod, install Nextcloud, NoIP and Wireguard.
Would love to have a small little box which also does my Nextcloud!
No, their RouterOS is not FOSS.
But if it is supported by OpenWRT, that may not be necessary. As long as you can update firmware and microcode even from a different OS. I have no idea if OpenWRT can do that.
Not all dependencies. Flatpak is an application, and a display server is outside of an application.
Closing an app should not result in a black screen XD

Ernsthaft? Bargeld ist anonym, bis auf den letzten Punkt war von den Aussagen doch nix falsch?
Geschmack hilft den Tieren leider nicht
Aber Respekt an wen auch immer dass Dönerläden die Konstante in fast jedem Land sind, in der man immer einen Falafel-Dürüm oder Döner bekommt.
VBox has really easy Windows integration. To this day I have not managed to have a shared folder and especially clipboard with any guest, let alone Windows.
This may be easily possible, but not just a few clicks
I dont know US politics well, but I assume Biden is ideologically and economically about 70% conservative, 30% "left".
Just the small amount of reasonable brain cells to keep the economy stable, with basic healthcare and no misinformation wars.
Could you post a link?
They have a ton of products and dont advertize their routers that much.
Is RouterOS FOSS? I couldnt find source code, and an AI told me it is a Linux based proprietary OS.
Are the routers just OpenWRT compatible? I see a lot of them are. But TurrisOS can do a ton more than OpenWRT!
I found a big router with only 2,4GHz, a few small access points that would be totally fine for that job, this Wifi6 router but with way lower specs and less modularity
I agree that this router is really expensive, the case is elegant but pretty primitive, and the hardware is very old.
But I didnt see anything with 2GB RAM and such an advanced OS.
Yes that is true. That old hardware should cost less, to explain a potentially higher price once a model with recent hardware comes out.
It is not mainly about the hardware though, but the software updates. If you think about the work that they invested here, it gets more reasonable.
Buying opensource hardware is always just a service for users who cannot do that themselves. The schematics are opensource, the entire modified OpenWRT is opensource, and they also contribute to upstream OpenWRT (so there is another investment in the more general FOSS world here).
I have not analyzed how much % they do in OpenWRT but that would be really interesting.
I fixed up a bunch of youth center machines.
- Debloat, find out package names literally from the internet (GNOME is made for people that dont want to do that, how the hell do you find out "what package name does this GUI app have"? Task manager?
ps?) - Install flatpak, flathub, GNOME-Software integration
- Install all those apps as Flatpaks
- Replace VirtualBox with virt-manager to avoid breaking kernel modules
- Update and Upgrade to Debian 12
- Setup apt-automatic
I guess they are still running today. I was a bit newer to Linux back then.
Es gibt viele Barfußschuhhersteller, die verschiedene Zwecke erfüllen.
Wofür
Wildling sehe ich als geeignet für trockenes, warmes Wetter.
Ich habe die Tanuki, flache Schuhe für den Sommer.
Wildlinge eignen sich auch gut, wenn schönes Aussehen gewünscht ist. Sie sehen speziell aus, aber nicht nach "komischen Barfußschuhen"
Shop
Pro: sie haben einen eigenen
Contra: es ist eine Shopify-Hölle, mit einer NoScript Seite die so aussieht:
Die Website ist auch schlechter geworden, hat mehr blog-artige Artikel, und scheinbar keine Filter wie "vegan", "Naturmaterialien" oder sogar nach Material mehr.
Material
Sie sind oft vegan, aus natürlichen Materialien hergestellt in Spanien.
Die Tanukis sind sehr atmungsaktiv, besser als die Saguaro.
Stoff
Die Tanukis sind aus "Washi", ironischerweise Papier mit Plastik, da es sonst reißt.
Andere aus Hanf wären vllt besser, jedoch machen sie vor allem mit den Washi-Schuhen viel Werbung, während es aus Hanf nur noch ein Modell zu geben scheint.
Innensohle
Die beigefügte ist gut, die "Hanflinge" halten überhaupt nicht und reiben stark auf.
Außensohle
Aus einer Mischung von neuem Gummi, recyceltem Gummi und Kork.
Sie halten gut, vor allem für ihre Dicke. Kürzer als andere, zB meiner Saguaro, aber länger als der Stoff.
Die Sohlen haben eine komische Unterteilung, deren Sinn ich nach längerem Tragen nicht sehe. Diese machen sie unnötig anfällig.
Jedoch sind die Sohlen haltbarer als andere, zB der (mittlerweile insolventen) Firma EOD mit der Marke "Groundies".
Zu Verfärbungen an der Sohle kann ich nichts sagen (schwarz), wäre aber immer skeptisch bei weißen Sohlen.
Haltbarkeit
Die Schuhe sind recht fragil, nicht total, jedoch könnten sie dickere Nähte haben.
Die Außensohle löst sich ein wenig ab, und (ich weiß nicht woher) ist ein Loch im Oberstoff.
Man sollte sich auf jeden Fall darauf einstellen, sie für diese Fehler zur SchusterIn zu bringen, denn ansonsten gibt es keine Probleme.
Die ökologische Farbe ist auch nach 2 (?) Sommern stark ausgeblichen, ich werde versuchen sie nachzufärben.
Tragekomfort
Meine ersten Barfußschuhe waren "Saguaro" und deren Gefühl ist nach wie vor komfortabel, schützend und unübertroffen.
"Barfußgefühl-Fetischisten" müssen kürzere Haltbarkeit in Kauf nehmen, was bei den Wildlingen der Fall ist.
Anfangs sind sie recht steif, gerade das recht harte Papier-Plastik-Material. Sie passen sich jedoch sehr gut an, werden aber - gerade Barfuß - nie so weich wie Saguaro.
Die Zehenbox ist sehr weit, und passt für normal breite Füße perfekt.
Warum dann Wildling?
Sie sind nicht extrem haltbar. Dafür sind sie aber ökologisch hergestellt, und gerade die flachen Schuhe ~~sind trotzdem günstiger als zB Vivobarefoot.~~
Das scheint sich mittlerweile geändert zu haben, 100€ sind jedoch wohl immer noch recht normal.
Ich kann empfehlen, auf Angebote zu warten, die es oft gibt.
Und zur Nachhaltigkeit: Wildling hat 2023 den deutschen Nachhaltigkeitspreis gewonnen!. Das verspricht doch einiges.
Von daher halten sie, mit Reparaturen und Nachfärben, bei mir bestimmt über 3 Jahre, was total okay ist.
Ein sehr gutes Gehäuse, um eine m.2 NVME SSD extern zu verwenden.
Was mitkam:
- kleiner chip, der zuverlässig m.2 auf USB-C kann.
- Plastikschublade, in die dieser Chip eingebaut ist, mit Klickverschluss zum Zusammenbauen
- Metallhülle mit Rillen, was die Wärmeabgabe verbessert
- Silikonpad für vollflächige Wärmeübertragung
- Metallplatte, irgendwie auch dafür, kommt auf das Silikon
- USB-C zu USB-C Kabel, kurz, 3.0 mit schneller Übertragung
- USB-C zu USB-A Kabel, kurz, auch sehr praktisch
Preis: 18€
Besser gehts nicht, Verwendung seit ca. einem Jahr.

Review: Turris Omnia, a FOSS wifi router, NAS and Server, based on a highly improved OpenWRT, with BTRFS!
(www.turris.com)
I dont even know how to summarize that machine 😄
It is absolutely awesome.
Turris is a company by the czech TLD registrar CZ.NIC, which is ran as a nonprofit and invests a ton in open source network software.
The Origin
This talk summarizes it well:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB5OG_V3aSE
They wanted to build a device to analyze hacking attacks on the people in Czechia.
The device should be as close to the network as possible (i.e. a router) and have compelling and understandable hardware that could be upgraded over time.
So... they made a router. Originally using PowerPC, now on ARMv7 (poorly only their mobile MOX already is on ARMv8).
Where to get it
Originally they gave the devices away for free, under the agreement that the users contributed the Sentinel analysis data.
Then they opened an indiegogo campain, which far exceeded their expected amount of funding.
Afterwards they had their own webshop, which is now discontinued.
Instead, these stores are available:
- Rubytech DE (The strangest signup method I ever had :) but all fine)
- Discomp CZ
- Amazon
Note: they sent me an additional Tshirt, ethernet cable and tube scarf, which is... interesting, but could be considered waste.
Tbh, I use the tube scarf daily :D
Poorly they didnt add any stickers!
Also, they dont have a good system to determine the recipient country, so I have an additional power supply cable for another country.
They also included a wall mount, with a set of perfectly fitting, longer screws.
All screws have regular phillips heads.
Software
They took OpenWRT, but extended it a ton. As they have 8GB of storage and 2GB of RAM, they can do stuff way above the minimum hardware requirements of OpenWRT.
They have a graphical package manager in the WebUI, and use BTRFS snapshots for atomic updates. Which is totally cool!
That was over 10 years ago and the first router they made is still supported with updates.
Hardware
The data sheet can be obtained here.
The "Omnia Wifi6" I got uses a bit outdated hardware, similar to my Thinkpad T430. They will very likelybswitch to m.2 slots and ARMv8, so you may want to wait for such a revised model.
The current Omnia has 3 mini-PCIe Slots, 2 USB-3 ports and a ton of pins accessible from the inside.
- The left one supports USB, and below you can plug in a SIM card and use an 3G/4G/5G card. With an additional package, this can be used to automatically fallback to cell network, when the regular connection fails.
- The middle one is just mini-PCIe
- The right one supports mSATA so with a simple adapter you can use SATA SSDs for near-native speed. (I want to do that, but it may need an additional power supply)
And, of couse in the front it has fancy RGB LEDs. They are used as indicators for the running state, and for the action you do by pressing the "Reset" button.
In the back it has 4 ethernet sockets, 1 WAN ethernet socket to connect to the internet, one SFP socket for a fiber connection, a multi-purpose button and a power socket.
The button in combo with the LEDs is used for various things like reboot, reset, update, update from local file, update from internet.
Setup
To set it up, connect it to power and with one of the LAN (not WAN) sockets to a Laptop, using ethernet.
Right, before setup it doesnt open a wireless connection! This was confusing for me but really make sense.
In the browser enter http://192.168.1.1 and a very nice graphical WebUI guides you through the setup.
If you use it over LAN, accept the self-signed TLS certificate in your browser, then HTTPS should work.
Applications
It runs a highly extended variant of OpenWRT. There is a huge amount of software. It varies from preinstalled installable through packages, from Foris WebUI integrated to advanced, requiring the normal OpenWRT LuCI or requiring configuration through the terminal.
An incomplete and chaotic overview:
- file server: SMB, DLNA, encrypted storage, mdadm
- Transmission bittorrent client
- OpenVPN server & client
- Wireguard (advanced)
- Nextcloud, Syncthing (both have acessible login pages from the main WebUI)
- Tor
- Adblock
- Dynamic firewall
- haas: honeypot as a service (needs a public forwarded IPv4 address)
- Turris Sentinel: security data collection service, analyze incoming threats (the use they originally intended)
- Librespeed: lightweight network speed test
- support for LXC containers to run your favourite Linux distro
- schnapps to manipulate BTRFS snapshots
- LAN monitoring with PaKon and Morce
NOTE: the data collection service "Sentinel" is opt-in and disabled by default.
DNS
The DNS Server is not set, I used nic.cz with DNSSEC, other providers like Cloudflare and Quad9 are also available, just like manual setup.
DNSSEC works with a single button press, without any issues!
Configuration
You can configure things with a config file, that you insert over a USB stick.
Storage
You can plug in an external drive (USB of course, but I want to try mSATA to SATA) and it formats it and moves all data on there.
It sets up different RAID systems, I dont know if encryption is supported.
So, you have over 7 different ways to host a fileserver on there, up to a full instance of Nextcloud. This is crazy!
Wifi Routing
You can open 2 Wifis (no idea how that works) and each can also have a separated Guest network.
Security:
- By default, WPA3 with WPA2 fallback is used. I changed it to WPA3-only, as WPA2 is vulnerable to attacks (see this video on how to sniff passwords with Kali Linux, which requires a custom kernel driver)
- 2 Guest networks possible, I highly recommend to use those for everyone apart from Admins
- VLANs are also supported, and need to be enabled.
- Reminder: before first configuration, no Wifi is enabled. There is no initial password set.
- you can have different passwords for the admin WebUI and ssh.
The reach is great, but roughly equal to the modern Fritzbox we already have, which only has a single, hidden antenna.
The time to connect to the Wifi is a bit longer than at the FritzBox.
Community & Support
Their code is all hosted on the CZ.NIC Gitlab.
The Turris team can be contacted via email and they respond pretty quickly.
The same contact is used for repairs.
They also have a Discourse Forum for a long time, where people can exchange bugs, issues, software and hardware mods, adapters etc.
Other fun stuff
I got a Turris Omnia Router, which I want to use as a NAS.
I also really like SATA SSDs, they are abundant (I have too many), never overheat (take that, NVME crap) etc.
The router is pretty tight, a SATA SSD fits in, but I need a cable to have the adapter 90° and a bit upwards.
Now I wonder, what adapter do I need? On AliExpress I find one with 1 or 2 SATA connections, 1 is probably best for sanity and reliability.
This one looks more sketchy, as it has 2 SATA sockets.

Ja das ist leider das Problem bei teuren Teilen.
Ich kenne jemanden der sich in Shimano Nexus Namen gearbeitet hat.
Wenn man da die Schaltung einer Nexus pro einbaut, sind sie extrem gut, oder so.
Und immer noch günstig. An Hollandrädern gibt es die mit Rollenbremse, was dann praktisch keinen Verschleiß hat.
Vorderrad normal mit Felgen-Vbrakes die man aber kaum braucht. Dann muss man quasi nichts tauschen.
Wie jemand anderes meinte, muss man für Riemen leider die Hinterradstreben aufschneiden, und mit einem custom Teil verschweißen, das mann dann mit Schraube auf- und zumachen kann.

Einzig gutes Video, hab ich damala auch gesehen. So einen Einsatz könnte ich bauen, das Aufbiegen ist aber wahrscheinlich nur safe mit nem Stahlrahmen, Alu ist zu steif.
Mein Alurad wird also wohl erstmal bei Kette bleiben
