"Security weenies claim security via obscurity doesn't work, but it absolutely does if you like to use data and respect what it tells you. Check the number of security CVEs for operating systems like OpenVMS, MPE/IX, and see how they compare with Linux or Windows. By volume, the most popular OSes get the most attacks and successful exploits."

That is not security by obscurity. It's security by unpopularity.

The OpenWRT folks improved a lot their web interface and how to find the right - easy to install - router.

It's still too complicated for the average person.

You can also choose a GL.iNET router which runs OpenWRT natively

That doesn't address how difficult it is to configure. Again, for a normal person who doesn't know what any of those settings mean. If you want normal people to be able to do this you're going to need to develop a config wizard for luci.

Then why did you say "The fact that these OSes allow even *root* to make changes to the OS, is insecure in itself" when root has access to rewrite the entire OS? Could it perhaps be because you don't know what you're talking about and you're casting around desperately to look like you do? Don't bother answering, it's obvious.

With local processing, one might get an answer faster because the transmitted result is such a smaller piece of data.

Not only because the volume of data is smaller, but because the compute is local. Geosync RTT is 240–280 milliseconds. Earth-Moon RTT is 1250 ms. Earth-Mars is 6-40 *minutes*.

This insane take that compute shouldn't happen in space is only viable for LEO or latency insensitive use cases. We are going to put enormous amounts of compute in space, because we're going to need real-time compute far beyond LEO. johnjones is just an idiot spouting off in the interwebs and may be safely ignored.
