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
It's ARM
Yes
