Just take out the wifi module. If you need wifi just use a USB adapter. That’s your kill switch.

I enjoy a program called Alldup. It’s quite nice for my uses

Could I recommend changing the HDD to an SSD?

Really helps the snappiness of the computer.

I have a lot of SSDs at home and I wouldn’t mind shipping one to y’all since I also live in Germany

My pixel 8 pro has one. It’s kinda helpful when determining when to open the windows of my home

Really simple

Proxmox

Openmedia vault

Adguard

Uptime Kuma

Prometheus and Graphana

Mkcert

Jellyfin

Homebox

You mean greed

Rip off the label and put it with your burn pile.

Or you could use a wallpaper scoring tool to shred it on the box.

Especially if it supported gestures.

Being able to pull down the notification shade with a swipe on the reader was my favorite feature.

Would a Nvidia Shield be a good fit for this use case?

I’m a big fan of Mikrotik with Unifi WiFi.

Mikrotik I have a RB5009 which is powerful enough for all of my needs.

Correct. You have to use their app. Tried using the web version but it said app only.

No the one in talking about is installed outside without a screen.

Looks like this.

You wouldn’t be able to pickup without a smartphone. If you are not home, you’ll get a little note in your mailbox and go to a partner package shop

Mine are Bluetooth enabled. You stand near it and hit the button

IEEE standard is 100m

I’ve h6ave very long runs before and they worked.

But you need solid copper wire for that to work. No stranded or CCA

I wanted a sound bar, and got some affordable ones.

Then I went into budget audiophile.

Got a cheap Sony receiver and 2 bookshelf speakers. Got the whole gig for $175 total. Beats any kind of sound bar.

Did a Sonos test in store and really could hear much difference despite being much cheaper and completely offline.

Now my wife is telling me to go Sonos because it looks better with her aesthetics.

Told her I’m not getting anything that requires an account software to run. Guess we’re going to stick with bookshelves for a while

If you’re okay being in the EU, I use Ionos. €1 a month with a IPv4 address and no contract.

On the US side, Oracle has a free tier for 2 arm CPUs. You could load balance between them, but they’re still kinda slow.

Either of these you can test for very low costs and see what you enjoy.

I often skip first gens hence why I got a 12th gen and then upgraded it to a 7040 series. Super happy with the battery life and performance.

Mostly for PiHole.
