you do if you want more than just a router
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
selfhosting is more like that tbh. unless you mean cherrypicking and adapting drivers for your kernel and this sort of stuff… general desktop troubleshooting helps to a point imo
i have a regular desktop computer and a very smooth user experience here, no complaints.
laptops can be hit or miss because of all the custom proprietary crud in them.
mozilla is not profitable because of how much they pay their CEO.
its the same situation as reddit.
they will eventually make it so restrictive it will be impossible for people to actually play, before they consider a serverside solution.
thats amazing, why is that?
i think screens look blurry in the wrong resolution. i always rather use it in the native resolution. that effect will probably be more noticeable in a low ppi screen like the deck’s.
i believe so. they added stuff, the core gameplay is the same.
its fun
thats a bit dissapointing, how so?
eh, i switched to the finals.
apex matchmaking is trash and i hope it dies.
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.
