Securely Chaining Wi-Fi Routers (2022)
An "advert" for a BSD-licensed open-source codebase? Pointers to a comparable OSS networking project, implemented in memory-safe golang or rust, would be appreciated. There is https://router7.org, but for a narrow use case.

Gokrazy Is Cool
I'm also a fan of router7[0] which is based on gokrazy. I'd love to build my own router like it some day.

Building Rust code for my OpenWrt Wi-Fi router
You can do more in a single binary, in the style of BusyBox / router7. Of course, you'd still have to ship BusyBox for admin/debug purposes, but you can save some disk space and probably boot performance too if you don't spawn new processes for every write to /proc or whatever.

random question from a beginner, has anyone written an OS in Go?

Gokrazy Is Cool
What a coincidence! I've just been playing with Gokrazy a couple weeks ago, and just kept thinking "this is so cool". If you're building some sort of an appliance, and want the least amount of reliance on / hassle maintaining the base OS, it definitely is a viable choice.
It can also run programs that are not written in go, by using a little neat hack to build/embed a binary inside a Go package; this is e.g. how Gokrazy sets up persistent storage: https://github.com/gokrazy/mkfs
I don't think it's for everyone; if you're relying on your base OS / package manager for a lot of stuff, or just want to run Docker containers, I think there are simpler/better ways to set things up. But it's absolutely great at what it's made for; doubly so with the Raspberry Pi's finally being back in stock.
