Banana Pi BPI-RV2 is a $35 RISC-V gateway board for networking applications

The Banana Pi BPI-RV2 is a single-board computer designed for networking applications with a 2.5 GbE WAN port, five Gigabit LAN ports, and M.2 and Mini PCIe slots that can be used for SSDs, wireless modules, and other add-ons.

The board is powered by a 1.25 GHz Siflower SF21H8898 quad-core RISC-V processor and runs open source software – Banana Pi offers an version of the open source, […]

My ISP gave me an interesting scare a couple of minutes ago. As you know if you do not want to pay them for a permanent IPv4 address, which I consider obsolete networking, they remotely reboot your gateway device and assign it a random IP out of one of their IPv4 pools.

This time it didn't take the usual long 30 to 90 Seconds to reboot the device and transfer credentials to obtain the new IP.
The Gateway got in an infinite loop somewhere and I had to Power it off, then had to wait 90 seconds to power cycle it before it took 180 seconds for the device to finally get the new IP.

Someone screwed up the login sequences for the xDSL devices of which the hashtag is in the toot and now we as the paying customer again have to pay for it in wasted time.

Luckily this power cycling off xDSL devices occurs only once in 6 weeks and usually I do not use the internet at that point in time.

In case you are wondering my Gateway uses obsolete technology, is forcibly assigned by the ISP and it's also cursed with a extremely low transfer speed.

I just included a speedtest after first draft of this toot

As you can see the speeds here are so low the connection is virtually unusable for anything where you have to move a big bites of data. They still manage to extort more than USD 30 a month for this connection

Wir sind heute mit dem Fahrrad zum Geburtstagskaffee nach Siegburg gefahren. Begleitet hat uns ein #paxcounter auf #ttgo Basis.

Es ist erstaunlich, wie gut die Abdeckung in #lorawan inzwischen ist. Als #freifunkrheinsieg (FFRS) sind wir seit Jahren dabei, dass LoRaWAN #gateway Netz in der Region Rhein-Sieg aktiv auszubauen.

Vier der erkennbaren Gateways sind von uns, vom #ffrs.

#Settings in #reticulum #meshchat #reticulummeshchat #rns for #lora #radio #mesh Always set your stationary / radio #rnode #rnodes to be #gateway nodes (#interfaces) for effective #routing in your #mesh. See Sect 6.14 of rns #reticumlumnetworkstack manual

(and of course always also as #transport node else message packets from other nodes won't spread) Set the settings in the #configuration file or #update the #meshchat program now & set to gateway in the settings menu.
