Same. I've gotten over 30 I think.

Thanks. When I tried to use the https://www.githubstatus.com/ link it wouldn't let me submit. Now I will remember to use the incident link in the future. I hadn't noticed that before.

Even though this post was done first, by around 15 minutes, it seems like most of the discussion is in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46646645

I started paying $7.99/month for Google Play Music in June of 2013. And it is now YouTube Premium and still $7.99/month.

Same here, joined up when GPM was in beta. Still on the $7.99/month. I really only use it for YTM, so if they ever up my price, I'll cancel and use Tidal or Deezer.

The binary blob issue has been brought up since back in 2020. And since then very little real progress has happened from what I can tell.

I am not willing to use the software due to that issue. It just seems suspicious.

Just to be clear do you understand that all of these are built from source with documentation so you can recreate the binaries yourself?

As in it's completely source buildable with no unknown binaries. They just don't have a single 'build' that pulls all of these in and builds them at once. Instead you're following the build instructions for each part, creating libraries that you then link together at the end. This is due to the pain in the ass of cross-compiling Linux/Windows/UEFI binaries all in the one project. It's pretty reasonable.

Have you done this? How do you know this is true? Are there reports of trusted 3rd parties who have verified this?

As someone who isn’t afraid of reproducible binary blobs but would absolutely pay attention to a failure-to-reproduce report from an advocate otherwise, I’m disappointed to see you failing to do so here. If you’re afraid and not willing to prove or disprove your fears yourself, then that negates your arguments to reject binary blobs categorically, rather than conditionally as I and others in this thread are accepting. So.. of this isn’t an argument about whether this project is safely using binary blobs, it’s about propagating the belief that binary blobs are never acceptable; then while normally I would dig up proof like you seek or make it myself, proof has no bearing on beliefs and I’d best not.

I wonder how far a clanker would go if you toss if at a pile of Ventoy / "build instructions" and Nix. This is a pretty ideal place for Nix to shine.

I use cash so I don't feel pressured to tip when buying donuts

I'll believe it when it happens. The maintainer hasn't done much regarding this for over 5 years. There are issues raised about this back in 2020 and not much has changed. It just seems suspicious to me. But I might be paranoid.

I'm not willing to trust it.

Same. Even the issue presented here seems to not be taken seriously.

Paraphrasing, but things like: "Ah well, some blobs are ok, it is just for convenience" just smells like trouble.

The project is free and all, but damn. Has nobody, in the last half a decade, thought about automagically building those blobs alongside the project?

In my brain you're just postponing a large build system refactor, one that will get worse over time.

> I can't read this article because of the paywall

I just turned on reader mode in Firefox and then refreshed the page and got the article. I'm surprised how often it works. It often doesn't but sometimes it does.

They just released v3.0.0 of the EdgeRouter software three days ago.

https://community.ui.com/releases/EdgeRouter-3-0-0/33ee3852-...

But yeah they haven't released any new hardware in quite a long time. But nice to see they are still doing development work on the software.

Thank you so much for this great news!

Woah...that's surprising.

Current Honda hybrids are like that. The only time the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) is directly connected to the drive train is when the speed gets to above around 60MPH. The rest of the time the ICE is used to power a generator which then sends power to the electric motor and/or the battery pack.
