We’ve organized a CTF (again), but this time it was way more interesting than the previous years, not just because of the newly introduced challenges, but because finally we are seeing the effects of LLMs in our industry, both the good and the bad, and we can now predict one of the possibilities of the future.
I need to articulate my thoughts for couple of days, and a long post might be published soon.
First Router Designed Specifically For OpenWrt Released – Software Freedom Conservancy:
The New OpenWrt One on sale now for $89 — Ultimate Gift for Right-To-Repair Enthusiasts

This device services your needs as its owner and user.
This news makes me very happy. But here’s the interesting part;
This new product has completed full FCC compliance tests; it’s confirmed that OpenWrt met all of the FCC compliance requirements. Industry “conventional wisdom” often argues that FCC requirements somehow conflict with the software right to repair. SFC has long argued that’s pure FUD. We at SFC and OpenWrt have now proved copyleft compliance, the software right to repair, and FCC requirements are all attainable in one product!
This is even better news. Combining a device like this with something like OpenWISP will make a killer commercial deployment, specially for organizations such as hospitals and low-budget government agencies in the developing world.
Let’s see how it goes.
