Probably an unpopular opinion, but I don't actually mind it. There's now a bunch of layers that are selectable on the radar page itself, which were either nonexistent or hard to find on the old site. There's an easy to understand hourly forecast, instead of the text only one (which is still there), and I had no problem finding the 7 day forecast. Also there's finally HTTPS by default!

Of course if you don't like it, this still seems to work for the old website: https://reg.bom.gov.au/

I've always wondered, why do we put the GPU drivers and their firmware into the initramfs? Can't we just rely on the framebuffer drivers until the root partition is mounted? Since most of the firmware size is from GPUs, that should reduce initramfs size, and speed up booting as there's less to load into memory.

And I feel like it’s not a good idea to have a modem directly attached to the pc directly unless you’re using it as a router?

Yeah I feel like this is the issue. The modem/router would be firewalling between the networks hiding the PC behind it.

Also from the description, does OP have a router at all? Is their ISP somehow just allocating public IPs to everything? Do your IPs start with 192.168 or something else?

Someone has also just done 100 modems over a T3 line using Cisco gear: https://youtu.be/rOdGK6GVIVU

The EMC2101 is a slightly modified clone of the LM63, so if you connect it to your board's I2C bus and instantiate the lm63 driver to the right address, it should show up in lm-sensors like a normal PC fan. Or there's userspace python drivers, if you don't need a kernel hwmon interface or can't get it to work.

They probably mean the QEMU guest tools. But you set it up once, and never touch it again.
