| pinoaffe | mntmn: what's the reason for going with wifi over usb, rather than pcie? does the soc not have any pcie lanes (to spare)? | 15:10 |
|---|---|---|
| mntmn | pinoaffe: who says i’m going with usb over pcie? | 15:12 |
| mntmn | pinoaffe: it’s just a cheap, simple alternative | 15:13 |
| mntmn | you can do it with mpcie but it’s more expensive and you need to mount the antenna inside | 15:13 |
| pinoaffe | mntmn: ah okay, it just seemed that way :) | 15:13 |
| mntmn | i just like having options :) | 15:14 |
| mntmn | or put another way: i like to be prepared to give future users recommendations | 15:14 |

| swivel | i've found using a tiny usb dongle for wifi to be quite convenient at times... being able to just rip out the dongle to force going offline immediately has been useful twice in the last week when firefox got wadded up and my system was thrashing while I waited for the inevitable OOM | 18:51 |
| swivel | yanking the usb dongle in both cases caused the OOM to occur immediately by terminating all the active connections firefox was slowly making progress on | 18:53 |
| mntmn | swivel: cool | 19:52 |
| swivel | mntmn: it surprised me when it worked :) but when you're about to yank power and lose a bunch of state/work, and sysrq doesn't seem to be working, might as ewll try yanking the wifi first! | 19:56 |
| mntmn | yeah it makes sense | 19:57 |
| swivel | it also delivers a purism-like wifi hardware switch without having to get one of those machines, which can give peace of mind about being offline when you want to be offline | 19:58 |
| mntmn | swivel: yeah, exactly my point | 20:16 |
| mntmn | if you can _remove_ your wifi there's no arguing about rfkill | 20:16 |
| swivel | agreed. I've come to prefer all wireless radios on usb where I can plug/unplug them as needed. | 20:18 |
| swivel | additionally usb doesn't have dma access to the host's memory so I don't have to trust the firmware so much. | 20:19 |
| swivel | putting things on pcie implies a lot of trust | 20:19 |
| mntmn | exactly | 20:21 |
