i've been really happy with nixos on my router
<betawaffle>
especially nftables, which is really cool
<betawaffle>
though the UX of the nft cli is really bad
<teto>
betawaffle: what hardware is it running on ?
<betawaffle>
apu2d4
<betawaffle>
and i have an apu2e4 as backup
<teto>
want to buy a homerouter to install nixos on, not sure what to choose. something to replace my ISP box
<cransom>
i run on a, at this point, very old intel nuc.
<hexa->
teto: apu4 is a solid choice, it's only flaw is that it only comes with mPCIe slots, not M.2 :)
<hexa->
could use a refresh some day
<cransom>
seems like i should update some day, but it keeps ticking. curious about doing a hostapd setup, which hopefully maybe could have some better antenna set up to reach more of the apartment. if not the router, the aps probably need help.
<hexa->
you can certainly do 802.11ac Wave1 within an APU4
<hexa->
not sure about newer radios, they draw more power than the APU consumes itself
