What a brave new world we’re living in.

Is that a thing that happens from small instances in the fediverse? I’d assume those instances would be defederated pretty quickly if they weren’t actually using the bot flag on accounts.

I’m surprised to see so much response to that bit. I feel like I’ve seen that on forums or newsboards for a long time for any question relating to something that can be repurposed after some amount of time. Really just a stand-in forsomething that’s likely been asked before.

+1 to beelink but be careful of sketchy resellers. Their website has a direct link to their actual 1st party Amazon storefront that can be tricky to pin down.

I have a fleet of 5 n100/n150 beelinks running k8s that works perfectly well for a super low power homelab. I also replaced the stock m.2 ssds with patriot low power ones but I don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze on that with current pricing.

My UPS has a custom built NAS (low tdp ryzen pro and 4 spinny disks), switch, firewall, 3 mini PCs, raspberry pi) plugged into it that are all under decent load and it reports 80W draw. It’s honestly incredible how far computers have come and how we’re living in an age of apartment sized homeland.

PIA is developed and operated by Israeli devs fwiw [0]. They were acquired in 2019 and a lot of people cancelled/moved on then because Kape has a horrible reputation.

I’d rather the hell of device attestation and TPM stay on Windows and away from Linux. I like having my PC be my computer rather than not be allowed to use hardware/software at the behest of some corporation who can arbitrarily decide I no longer get access.
