A Pi is fast enough for that, but with only one ethernet port, I don't understand how a Pi can make a viable router. Even if you were to use a USB adapter, the Pi is STILL only USB2 compliant, which means you're needlessly throttling your throughput. Fully featured commodity routers are too cheap AND much better suited for this task than a Pi. Don't get me wrong, I love my Pis, but IMHO, they aren't the correct tool for router work.
Just my opinion of course...

I think I said I would port to faster hardware.
Still an interesting exercise.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Want to bet the DNS IPs point to a Chinese site, and are coded into the firmware?

I wonder how the router would know that you don't violate any basic principles of the Constitution of the People's Republic of China?

I presume by reading everything that passes through the router. I fully expect that Chinese DNS IPs are hard coded into the firmware, so at the very least they would know what sites you are visiting.

remember when you buy anything with a Chinese name you are buying a piece of china...

0) I have a EF model with a context and a few entities, based on some stored procs.
1) I changed a stored proc, and went to update the stored proc in the model from the database. It didn’t update.
2) I figured, “ok, I guess I’ll delete the current entity and just regenerate it.
3) It created the entity, but appended the name with a “1”.
4) You can’t manually change the entity names that are generated from the database.
5) It looks like my only recourse is to delete the Edmx in its entirety, and start over. That’s just plain f*ckin absurd.
6) I f*ckin hate Entity Framework.

There there.
I never use EF, and I rarely use stored procedures.

Well, I refuse to deal with the crapware known as the EF code generator. I'm doing everything manually, including creating the entity models. As I get more and more of the stored procs done, it'll end up being faster overall.

So, I'm reading Marc's rant about AWS, and all of the buzzwords got me curious. I'm always interested in learning new technology for specifically money grubbing purposes. I looked up AWS:
Quote:
Accelerate .NET Development
The AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio conveniently includes the AWS SDK for .NET, so you can get started building .NET applications on AWS infrastructure services in Visual Studio, including Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and Amazon DynamoDB.
S3? EC2, Elastic Beanstalk? DynamoDB? wtf is wrong with tech these days? This gobble-de-gook is stupid. I could reference the famous article referencing all of the javascript frameworks.
I mean, what the hell people? This is completely out of control and falls under the "dazzle them with your bull$hit." When I worked in defense, at least there was a guideline for naming weapon systems: AN/ALQ-184 == Air Force, Navy, Jammer, Special, System 184. I would listen to people mystified by that, but at least there was a system, a common approach.
This is just stupid.
On another note, I just saw an article where Microsoft's next Windows 10 build provides much more control over OS updates and reboots. See what happens when you UPS a horse's head to Redmond?

Look at their history. Don't get your hopes too high. Nobody's seen this yet in action.

Yeah, delay for 35 days, which then forces an update before you delay another 35 days.

Send more horse heads. They took a basic "never install updates unless I approve" checkbox and turned it into a several options with obtuse language that only pretends to give you control. A lot like wedding vows.

So I'm trying to set up a simple test for using AWS lambda.
Docs suck. Docs are circular.
Forum sucks. Sign in, but apparently can't post for several hours.
There's f***ing link in their forum to "why can't I post?" Error Posting Messages to the AWS Forums[^]
JFC. Why can't they just say that on their f***ing forum page?
Actually, it's not even a link. I had to copy and paste the stupid-ass thing. This is full text:
Quote: Your account is not ready for posting messages yet. See the following article for details: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/error-forum-post/
They can't even provide a clickable link.
Internet sucks. Can't find a single comprehensive "here's how you use VS2017 with AWS lambda". You'd think Amazon would have such an article, but their links are like a labyrinth that leads nowhere.
It's like they purposely put up detours, wrong way streets, and roadblocks to get you to use Azure instead, which was a 30 second easy-peasy setup.
Downloaded and installing AWS SDK for .NET[^] knowing darn well it wouldn't work.
And sure enough it doesn't. No "setup your account" on the startup page as the instructions state there should be. No AWS template when I create a folder, as the instructions state there should be.
As anyone gotten this pile of dung (specifically the turd called lambda) working with VS2017? A simple yes or no will suffice. Yes will give me vacuous hope, no will confirm my cynicism.
end-of-rant.
For now.
