MAM is why I have a seedbox.

I’m running two Lenovo Tiny PCs with the 5650ge for my kids to play minecraft and Fall Guys (can connect them to the VESA mounts on the back of the monitor). This opens up a whole new level of gaming in that micro form factor.
Awesome, but what’s up with the chonk leg?
Ubiquity has always felt a bit shoddy and hacked together. Reminds me of the bad USB sticks in the NVR or the shitty G4 doorbells that would die after 18-24 months from a bad converter board.
Lol, I ran a very simple pfsense box on a R710 for years. The most expensive router I’ve ever had (due to power costs).
Good to know!
I’ve tried it twice now, it used 2 of my fast use tokens, and I still haven’t gotten results. Just want a sad avocado looking at it’s reflection in a pond.
That’s exactly something a guilty party would say, lol.
Prepare thine cochlear senses, oh noble audiophiles, for I’ve stumbled upon a sonorous marvel that’ll make your eardrums jitterbug like caffeinated squirrels at a techno rave. Upon placing these auditory gems upon your cranium, it’s as if you’re spelunking through the caverns of sound, where the bass is so profound that it feels like a cosmic beluga whale serenading a black hole.
In the early 2000s when I was playing EverQuest like it was my job (~50hr/wk, I’m embarassed to say) I would have a couple recurrent dreams of being a character in EverQuest. The first I was being chased by Cazel (a named sand giant) through a zone called Oasis of Mar. In the second, a griffin was being pulled to the East Commons tunnel (big trading hub in the early days of EverQuest) and I kept dropping my bags trying to run away.
Yep, I have a 3000va unit in my main basement rack. I had to run a 30A circuit for it.
Lol, I thought $50 was good for the Lenovo but looks like I can nab a 7050 for even less.
Glad you brought this up. I actually found a low spec’d (pentium g5400, I think) m720q that might do the trick.
Neat little device. I haven’t seent these before. Definitely on the upper end of what I would like to spend, but an interesting (almost cute) option.
Thanks, I’ll take a look at it. It’s been a while since I looked at it, but IIRC openwrt UI is pretty minimal.
Milk, the best way to hydrate.
The cheapest solution, assuming you have a drill, a small jab saw, a measuring tape, an optional stud finder, and some sort of fishing line, is to run it in the wall. Then the only cost is the Ethernet cable, which is super cheap in bulk. You could do finished keystone jacks on both ends to make it look nice, but they aren’t necessary.
Next to that the next cheapest is probably an old wifi router or AP to pipe the Ethernet from the poweredge into and then a wifi card in your computer.
Power line adapters are also an option.
Wow, that’s cool. Is that an Intel based nic, driver support is good?
I used pFSense for years until Netgate took over. That is when I switched to OPNSense (maybe 2019/2020, don’t remember excatly). Since then, I’ve had OPNSense (runnign on a Lenovo m720q tiny) and Unifi (APs and UNVR) for wireless and cameras. I like this setup, it gives me all the advanced routing features I want and have become accustomed. I’m sure Unifi routers are good for most use cases and would have the added convenience of one interface for everything. However, I’ve not been impressed with price to performance ratios for their past offerings (ie. the routing capabilities of OPNsense with an i5 CPU and option for swapping a quad port 1gbe nic to a dual port 10gbe nic) is hard to compete against. That said, the UDM-SE looks interesting.
