  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • asuswrt-merlin.ng

    Third party firmware for Asus routers (newer codebase)

  • I have the same device, didn’t notice any issues, possibly because I’m using Asuswrt Merlin https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/

  • freebsd-src

    The FreeBSD src tree publish-only repository. Experimenting with 'simple' pull requests....

  • No, it's just a plain syslogd dating back to the 4.2 days. It aggregates at 30, 120, and 600 second intervals according to the source. Within that threshold I wouldn't care too much. If I really needed timestamps with more than thirty second precision I probably wouldn't be using syslogd.

    In any new-ish production system I'd probably want to use anything other than syslogd anyways.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • openwrt

    Linux distribution for embedded devices (by robimarko)

  • hello,

    idk ... but if your model is in the device compatibility-list, your should always be able to change to an alternative FOSS firmware. for example to https://openwrt.org or to some maintained tomato-clone like https://freshtomato.org

    ps. i'm a happy owner of a 10+ years old RT N16 - it runs really great on openwrt ...

    cheers,
