Comment on Running GoToSocial on an old wifi router

@K3can Ah yeah .. so that was a typo .. meant to say R3 - I have an R3 as well and am in the same position - (well without the technical capability to actually move things on.. I'm completely new to #proxmox and struggling a bit to even work out routing properly) . I actually have two - I just got a second one for a second location that I run a VPN to. But I'm still suck on things like properly flashing #Openwrt (should it be in NAND or NOR?? ) - so in the meantime I have a couple of Dell Micros that I have proxmox on to run random VMs to try out things.

should it be in NAND or NOR?? Why not both? My initial idea was to flash to NOR and then configure openwrt to a sort of “minimal usable state”. That is, I’d have the basic functions required run my home network: basic routing between local networks and WAN. Then I’d copy that image to NAND and that would be when I installed the “extras”, like SQM and whatnot. That way, if I ever broke it beyond repair, I could just flip the switches and copy the NOR back to NAND and start over with that minimal usable config.
I sort of followed my plan, but I think things have changed enough that it would not be the simple restart that I hoped it would.
I still think it’s a good idea, though.

  @K3can Oh that is a good suggestion - I think I'll do that. I struggled to flash the NOR - I think you can only do that from SD Card which then was weird as it wouldn't start via the SD card and then.. and then ..
