Xiaomi Phone Shipped With Censorship List
This summer, the Lithuanian government went public with an astounding finding. A Xiaomi phone sold in Europe — the Mi 10T 5G — could censor approximately 450 words and phrases, it said. The blocklist wasn’t active, but could be activated remotely. It was filled with political terms, including “Democratic Movement” and “Long live Taiwan’s independence.”…

Ideal travel router: GL-AR750S
Right. With the pandemic and all none of us are going to travel much but still… About a year ago I purchased myself an OpenWRT router to use on the plane and in hotels. And so far I really like both the device and the Hong Kong based brand (launching new and updated products, and…

iPad Pro USB-C Ethernet
I’ve had an iPad Pro with the new Magic Keyboard and one of the things I’ve been wondering… Say I am stuck in a datacenter and I need to ssh through wired networking to a server — sure I’ll definitely rather use my Mac laptop, but just in case… But would it actually work? The…

0x04
Almost 10 years after I registered 0x04.com, it’s time to part ways. Yesterday I finalised the sale of 0x04.com. My company in Singapore was called 0x04 pte. ltd. and to avoid any confusion I’ve renamed to su1 pte. ltd. su1 standing for Superuser.one. 🤷♂️

Resilio Sync on Synology stuck?
The Resilio Sync package that’s provided on a Synology NAS’ Packager Center is out of date (2.6.2) and has a bug that causes big files to fail to sync (and that causes a loop of endless retries). The solution is to manually update the package from 2.6.2 to 2.6.4. Find your NAS architecture and then…

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.19.0-8-amd64 (x86_64)
I was rebuilding my WireGuard Docker container today and this error started popping up: The solution was to install bc. Seems like Debian is not pulling the right dependencies. I’ll be adding it to my Dockerfile.

Running WireGuard in a Docker container (amd64)
This is the 2nd post about WireGuard. So I am running two WireGuard servers — one on a Raspberry Pi 4, and one in an amd64 virtual machine. This post will be about getting WireGuard working on amd64 in a Docker container. As this container rarely get rebuild, I am running unattended-upgrades inside the container…
