I'm about to update my router OS to the whizzy new OpenWRT 25.12 - the one that uses the new Alpine packaging tools.

If you don't hear from me for a few days, that's why...

🤞

That all went swimmingly! I think it's the easiest #OpenWRT upgrade I've ever done.

Being able to custom-build a sysupgrade with a list of additional packages is really neat! It handled my DNS being on a weird port, and it even maintained my crontab. I lost all the files in my home directory and I'm assuming I missed an option somewhere to preserve them. No biggy (of course I had a backup - I have many backups).

Very impressive.

@spoonrefuter @InTheseHeels It was an easy upgrade, but I think the nap was the better option.
