unsaid0415 OP ,

My short unexciting story of replacing 2 power bricks with PoE:

I recently bought a D-Link DGS-1210-10P rev. B1 switch from ~2014 for $50. It has an 76W PoE power budget and supports up to PoE 802.3at (~25W).

(On the switch, OpenWrt is supported from rev. F1 - don’t be stupid like me with the rev. B1)

I had some PoE-compliant devices in my homelab that I was powering with ordinary power bricks, but now that I got my switch, that had to change.

In total I was able to remove two power bricks:

  • My MikroTik RB5009 UG+S has a 802.3af PoE-in on eth1, so I removed its power brick and powered it with PoE instead
  • My UniFi AP 6 Lite supports 802.3af PoE-in, so I removed the unifi poe injector that I had and powered it directly from the switch

My homelab is rather small, so the only two remaining devices which I could swap are:

  • RPI 4 with 2 SSDs - there are official PoE HATs, but you can also buy a shady PoE to USB-C + Ethernet splitter too - aliexpress.com/item/1005005764965215.html
  • ISP router changed into bridge mode, so it works as a modem only - you can also use a PoE splitter to power it, like this guy (bing cached version of reddit post). My ISP’s one uses a 12V 2.5A power brick, while the splitters 802.3at splitters are just 12V 2A, so I’ll probably won’t do it

I'm looking for recommendations for a cheap, and basic OpenWRT router

I used to use an old Linksys WRT54GL v1.1 router for the purpose of testing homelab setups, but I have recently found that, as of 2022, it is unsupported by OpenWRT. So, I am now looking for a router to replace my old one. I don’t need anything fancy – I just need a router with WiFi connectivity (2.4GHz is fine, but 5GHz is,...

openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_available_16128 and find something that has 2022 or 2023 in the “Available” column with an actual numeric version rater than “snapshot”?

This probably doesn’t exist because it’d be unreliable. Some sites don’t render the actual content until a few hunderd ms pass. Entering reader mode would show a mostly blank page

A new survey shows that the vast majority of senior executives say would’ve approached their return-to-work push “differently.”

“Differently” could mean a lot of things, but it’s not quite an admission of wrongdoing. The report, and by extension the execs, seem more annoyed by the lack of solid data on hybrid workplaces than they are concerned about employee satisfaction or the backlash they incurred.

Then why did you write the article Frank?
