 emily | (how on earth are you meant to track patch lifecycles in the kernel) | 15:17:01 |
 K900 | But it doesn't seem to affect NETSYSv3 | 15:17:04 |
| K900 | Like at all | 15:17:07 |
| K900 | So presumably it's not actually relevant for the 7988? | 15:17:17 |
| emily | magic_rb: what was the actual change that got you from "PPP won't negotiate" to "PPP negotiates"? | 15:17:59 |
| emily | like did you apply a patch or just switch to a new version of K900's tree or | 15:18:12 |
 @magic_rb:numtide.com | https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-Router-Linux/commit/1a6d1e12425127e5f9fe3012581d756500342856 | 15:18:19 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | that | 15:18:22 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | just applied patch | 15:18:26 |
| emily | you directly applied that patch? | 15:18:30 |
| emily | ok | 15:18:31 |
| K900 | But also do you actually have a public IPv4? | 15:18:56 |
| K900 | @magic_rb | 15:19:01 |
| K900 | Because like, UPnP does not make sense behind CGNAT | 15:19:10 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | yeah | 15:19:11 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | public and static by contract | 15:19:15 |
| K900 | Then have fun I guess | 15:19:43 |
| K900 | I haven't even tried to set up UPnP because, well, CGNAT | 15:19:52 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | yeah i dont want to | 15:21:19 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | if it was up to me i wouldnt | 15:21:28 |
| K900 | I mean if they're using it for gaming, you can also probably just hard forward some UDP ports | 15:21:59 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | "BuT I WaNT uPNpD" | 15:22:23 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | * "BuT I WaNT uPNp" | 15:22:26 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | 🤷♂️ | 15:22:30 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | also the answer is no | 15:22:58 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | ew ew ew | 15:27:12 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | ew upnp | 15:27:18 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | miniupnpd has to run as root because it wants to directly write into the fucking firewall | 15:27:33 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | and there is no backend which would allow me to split the upnp implementation from the "editing the firewall" part | 15:28:04 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | ew | 15:28:09 |
