alex14fr··on WireGuard packet relay for NAT traversal
Reminds me of a proof-of-concept I took years ago : https://github.com/alex14fr/wgsig

alex14fr··on Using the Radxa Rock Pi N10 NPU on Mainline Linux
Ok, but to me it seems to mean that the hardware may be permanently damaged (= a power cycle does not fix the issue) by a wrong clock setting, and I wonder why.
alex14fr··on Using the Radxa Rock Pi N10 NPU on Mainline Linux
I have trouble understanding this part:

> Beware, messing out with your clocks via sysfs without knowing what you are doing may permanently damage your device at the hardware level, so if you're clueless, don't mess around.

Anyway, very nice and informative article, thanks !
