    I’ve used it for the exact same purpose, great minds think alike. It’s perfect for that scenario given there’s no internet.

    I just don’t use it much otherwise because apps like Signal are far easier to move my friends and family on to and they’re more than good enough. The metadata privacy Tor would provide would give me a lot of peace of mind but I know it’ll never happen.








  • The biggest issue most people have with it is the dynamic DNS feature, which is automatically enabled and contacts their server to create the record. If you turn this off before connecting the router to the internet, you’re probably good.

    The simplified DoH client also only allows either Cloudflare or NextDNS, which aren’t the most privacy-oriented options. Still, it’s possible to set up your own.

    Otherwise I’ve never heard of anything major; the devices are cheap and reliable. I’ve had one running constantly for years and only had to reboot it manually once.

    To be honest, I agree they should be able to be larger at times.

    I had a lot of disagreements when I was on a new codebase, knew what I was doing and I was able to push a lot of code out each day.

    The idea is to have them small, easily readable with a tight feedback loop. I argued that bootstrapping a project will have a lot of new code at once to lay the foundations and my communication with the team was enough feedback. If I split it up, each PR would have been an incomplete idea and would have garnered a bunch of unnecessary questions.

    That said, I think it’s generally pretty easy to put out multiple PRs in a day, keeping them small and specific. As you say, half of the job is reading code and it’s nicer to give my coworkers a set of PRs broken down into bite sized pieces.
