    Scribe Scribe nvram log_path - what should it be?

    From scribe's point of view, everything is working "as intended". The blocking directories are in /jffs where the system thinks they belong (hence the nvram pointing to /jffs). As an aside, scribe does not write to nvram. In fact, it doesn't even use nvram to figure out where the syslog.log...

    Scribe scribe 3.x_y - syslog-ng and logrotate installer

    I'm back (sort of). I apologize for my extended absense. What was originally supposed to be a 4 to 5 month remodel stretched to 9 months. Partly our fault ("while you're here, why don't you ...") and partly our city's fault (2+ months for a straightforward permit). Because of the network...

    Scribe Where is the routers source/original unfiltered syslog

    There is none. syslog or syslog-ng is the facility that parses the log messages from the kernel, programs, etc. into a file (syslogd) or files (syslog-ng). You would need to create a filter similar to the A00remote filter in /opt/share/syslog-ng/examples to pass every entry to a single file...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.4 is now available

    Unfortunately, I am sans router for probably the next 3 to 4 months. We are having extensive work done on our home and are living in an Air B&B, possibly until the end of the year (longer, if the city keeps dragging its heels on permits). The Air B&B provides WiFi, not a direct internet...

    Scribe scribe 3.x_y - syslog-ng and logrotate installer

    The syslog-ng.conf file that scribe installs does have the @include “/opt/etc/syslog-ng.d/“ line near the top. ############################################################################# # syslog-ng.conf customized for scribe on Asuswrt-Merlin firmware # compare to...

    Scribe Trouble filtering a message with parentheses

    The filter file "expandlog" that scribe puts in /opt/share/syslog-ng/examples will create a log (/opt/var/log/expanded-syslog.log) with every log message expanded into its component parts. Simply copy it to /opt/etc/syslog-ng.d and then "scribe restart". The file will get very large very...

    AC68U kills USB keys

    I wouldn't say that's the consensus; a modern SSD (NOT a USB flash drive) is really just as reliable as spinning rust, and possibly moreso than spinning rust (c.f. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/ssd-drive-stats-mid-2022-review/). Backblaze uses SSDs for their boot drives, which also store...

    Solved New USB disk

    I thought (and hey, I could be wrong) that was only an issue with flash drives plugged into the port? I've been running an external SSD with ~12" cord in USB 3 mode forever without any issues.

    Scribe scribe 3.x_y - syslog-ng and logrotate installer

    That's wild. Interestingly enough, I started having random reboots and lockups with my AC86U a couple months ago and I finally "solved" it by buying a new router(!) I went through similar as you with my AC86U first, factory reset, install everything from scratch, etc., and everything was good...

    Observations on switching from RT-AC86U to GT-AX6000

    The unassailable logic of someone who says the hardware is better then never says why or how. Yep, that's some sound logic right there. You are a troll and I demand my $5.

    Observations on switching from RT-AC86U to GT-AX6000

    Ahhh, so only your "worth" judgement counts. Since an $80 difference doesn't matter per your earlier post, and a $10,000 difference is "a strawman", please tell me EXACTLY where the line is where the worth of AX6000 is the same as a $250 AX86U Pro, and why that line is objectively the correct...

    Observations on switching from RT-AC86U to GT-AX6000

    Sorry, with the lone exception of the 2.5Gbit WAN port, AFAIK, the hardware between the AC86U Pro and the AX6000 is identical (the AX86U Pro has the 4th antenna inside instead of outside, but there's still 4 antennas). I mean, you could be ridiculous and say even if the difference is $10,000...

    Observations on switching from RT-AC86U to GT-AX6000

    That depends ENTIRELY on your use case. Dunno about you, but to me, $80 isn't a "few" extra dollars for a 2.5Gbit WAN port that I don't have any use for. As far as I can tell, that's the only real difference between the two routers. Same CPU, same flash, same ram, same USB ports. The 1Gbit...

    Observations on switching from RT-AC86U to GT-AX6000

    Whiskey. Tango. Fox. That's ~$65UD cheaper in Canada than the U.S. for the AX6000, while the AX86U Pro is ~$45UD more expensive in Canada than the U.S. Maybe they perceive U.S. gamers as more willing to shell out for a "gaming" router. Clearly "best value" depends on where you live.

    Observations on switching from RT-AC86U to GT-AX6000

    Well, "significantly less expensive at this time" depends on where in the world you are. In the U.S., the GT-AX6000 is the most expensive of the three (on Amazon, but there's rarely much difference between online stores). AX86U Pro is $250, AX88U Pro is $270, and the GT-AX6000 is $330...

    Buying advice for AX-router with Merlin-support

    Which is the opposite of here. The GT-AX6000 here is $80 more than the AX86U Pro. It's a weird world.

    Buying advice for AX-router with Merlin-support

    I would have liked to have waited for WiFi 7, but alas, my old AC86U had other ideas. It also depends on your idea of "brief" - IIRC (and I many not RC) ASUS is expected to ship their two announced BE routers no earlier than the end of this month, and those 2 will be pricy (~$700 MSRP). I...

    Buying advice for AX-router with Merlin-support

    I think the RT-AX86U Pro (AX5700) supersedes the "non-Pro" and the Pro seems plenty available in the U.S. at least; the "non-pro" is in short supply.

    Scribe scribe 3.x_y - syslog-ng and logrotate installer

    scribe 3.2_0 is up - scribe should now should automatically fix the stats_freq obsoleted message (by patching the syslog-ng.conf file) - added filter / logrotate file for "bsd" messages, & annoyed Asus / Qualcomm / whoever picked "bsd" for the program name, BSD as far as I'm concerned is a Unix...
