likewise, alien life probably even if just microbial would throw a monkeywrench in a lot of folks beilef system

oh god i have so many junk boards i keep just in case i need some part. ive stripped them for parts maybe a handful of times over years.

please send help.

nah, guilliotines exist and are very convincing.

we dont actually have to take orders from them.

oh fuck, this one always hurt. simulating chrome through a user agent swap works?

what stops you from using firefox for everything else?

i mean if you login with google on any google site on firefox, it will also log you in to everything…

and being cleaner is a matter of habit tbh, they look very similar

decent game, yeah

they aint blocking linux users either.

what i want to understand beyond just “did you know chrome bad” is why laymen are so insistent on it.

so we can break it.

remember that r/mademesmile debacle?

or them countless threads that are all reposted comment by comment by different accounts.

having another one of these in a cluster is not off the table, but for now size is a priority. its all backed up with another router to take over if needed.

you do if you want more than just a router

not the same class of device though

topton is one of the more “trusted” brands in there. you can get anything from a small dual core celeron to a mobile i7, with two ddr5 slots, m.2 slots, mpcie slots, sata slots… you name it.

it can be quite a punch on a tiny box and it is a very practical all-in-one device, but it does need some tinkering repasting and adjusting out of the box. mine in particular has issues around wol and absolutely needed cooling fans and better thermal paste. ymmv.

here is a popular one.

here is some discussion about these boxes with varying levels of success in using it, its quite good once the kinks are worked out.

this form factor is definetly something if you want a homelab without the hassle, pricetag, size, noise, energy consumption… you can virtualize everything in it if you get one big enough.

i dislike the relative lack of repairability and expandability too.

processing power is more than adequate, and it comes in a tiny practical box, this is my priority atm.

so it can also be my wifi ap, im using virtualized openwrt to make it happen.

the ap i was using is now doing its duty as an extender while the beefier one does firewall, wifi, server, storage you name it…

just got it from aliexpress. though any hardware or mini pc will do, really.

if you want something like this but branded, look into protectli, they make similar devices.

no need to be a programmer to do it!

what are you replacing grafana with?

noice

literally one these with loads of RAM and a wifi card, so i can fit all the shenanigans in one box

even if we did (because we used to, after big fights), the burgeoise would reverse it because they are the ones in power rn.
