Does this look like a decent starting point for a first router build?

    As for x86, I’d really like to try and avoid it for a router.

    Why? (genuine question)

      It’s a couple levels of power more than what I need for a router in my opinion.

      x86_64 is inefficient and insecure

        Is this board using FOSS RISC-V with open schematics? If not, there’s very good reason to suspect it too.

          Also, I trust ARM (almost definitely backdoor’d) over x86_64 (confirmed backdoor’d)

            They’re both with backdoors how do you trust either?

              I don’t trust either, I’m just saying I trust ARM more. English is confusing and trust can be both boolean and float at the same time

              ARM trust: 0.2 (false)

              x86 trust: 0.1 (false)

                RISC-V FTW

          I didn’t know RISC-V routers were a thing. There’s OPNSense support for RISC-V?

            There isn’t. I was asking if the Banana Pi used RISC-V
