Looking at open source routers, likely going with DD-WRT.
Should I buy the router, flash it myself (very capable), and donate to the organization making the firmware or is there a better way to support DD-WRT's cause, like buying from their recommended vendor (Flashrouter).
Also should I be looking at an alternative like Tomato router?

As we approach the release of the Librem 5 smartphone (Q3 of 2019), we're going to take a look at 1 application (or game, or feature) running on the Librem 5 Development Kit every single day.
Starting with something fun:
Day 1 - AisleRiot Solitaire
I find having Project Loon balloons above my house for the first time, a bit unsettling.
The manager slayer
Shopping for a freedom respecting router with minimal blobs. Looking at DD-WRT from Flash Routers but looking for recommendations.
Excited about go karting with the kids tonight! So glad there is a place that has kart for small children!
Politics are interesting
Awoken by tornado sirens, rotation confirmed over the scanners, and power outages.
Everything is safe around now, power is on for us, and the little ones are back asleep. Tornado warning till 2am.
Back reading Linux security/hardening book.

Did you know that you can check out source code for things Purism works on (such as Librem One applications and bits relating to the upcoming Librem 5 smartphone) right from https://source.puri.sm?
Source code should be Free.
That's just how we roll.
@agx has me excited the Librem 5 by playing quake2 on the devkit! It doesn't take much to get me excited about this phone.
Looking at open source motor controllers for my electric motorcycle conversion! Research phase.
No fix it tickets in my queue, 9 hours worth of meeting, and still closed 18 tickets to enable new features. All quite on the digital front.

@gbryant If you need any help with your newest endeavors in spreading FOSS, I am ready to help. Server admin/DevOps with a long record of sometimes getting things right. Just want to help the cause and you, if you need/want it!
WFH today and possibly tomorrow. Hearing the kids playing in the backyard while I am working from the porch. I need to get back to this permanently.
So hard to replicate encrypted traffic by sniffing. Smart idea would be to just look at the open source client.
