Which is what they're already doing.

They don't have them where I live so I've never been. Do they offer any vegan waffles by chance?

What the new tech creator-content platforms and economy miss

Adam Neely on "quitting " puts two ideas together (that I hadn't) and implicitly asks "what if the new platform/economy fails you"

Longevity and freedom from traditional gatekeepers. The content-creator economy fails on these promises.

Burn out is baked in and ignoring the traditional gate-keepers is at your own very serious risk.

The world is the same, tech is just milking us.

It’s normal to feel suspicious of new social media when we’re so used to propriety software by publicly traded companies of the likes of Facebook.

Wait a minute, we can post gifs now?

What is your favourite lightweight microcomputer for PiHole+Unbound?

I’m trying to free up my Pi 3b which is overkill for a PiHole with Unbound DNS and am looking to try something other than a pi zero. What are your recommendations! A few brands that come to mind are LibreComputer, NanoPi, BananaPi, and OrangePi. Bonus points if it’s possible to set up with POE!...

Getting more life out of the old laptop… nice!

Obligatory !permacomputing

RPI 3b is great but more than needed resource-wise (correct me if I’m wrong).

Thanks!

I may be able to get the smallest available zip ties in there. Maybe it’s possible to bend a wire and hook it through one hole and up another.

Wait, really? Like 3d print something? I was actually toying with that idea but I haven’t dipped my toes into 3d printing yet and don’t have much time lately.

I wish!! Nearly no ISPs in my country allow you to bring your own modem, so I have this bridged to my own router/access point. And yet it still gets very hot to the touch which certainly throttles the CPU.

CowsLookLikeMaps OP ,
@CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works avatar

Unfortunately my ISP doesn’t let me. I’ve had luck in the past improving stability with fixing the terrible thermals but this time around I’m trying to make a cleaner solution. Though I’d love to just run my own modem ideally.

CowsLookLikeMaps OP ,
@CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works avatar

Gets really hot and speeds/stability decrease.

I’m not seeing any exposed screws. I could try a plastic spudger but would like to avoid it. Even trying to open my ASUS router was a PITA as it was designed not to be opened.

CowsLookLikeMaps OP ,
@CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works avatar

Ah, good idea.

I’m in Canada - I’d be more than happy to pay for shipping and supplies but if it’s too much work or ends up being too pricey then don’t worry about it. :)

It’s an XB8 which I’ve heard mixed reviews on. Haven’t found any teardowns online so far though.

CowsLookLikeMaps OP ,
@CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works avatar

Oh my goodness, this is the first time I’ve seen the innards of that AIO (all in one?) on the internet. Thank you! Where were the screws located on it?

CowsLookLikeMaps OP ,
@CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works avatar

So I finally shucked mine and found a 40mm fan in the bottom that wasn’t running. In fact, I don’t think it ever has run since I never feel any air flow or hear anything. Did your XB8 have a fan?

CowsLookLikeMaps OP ,
@CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works avatar

Oh yeah that would be a great alternative! It’s funny, I’ve been wondering the same. It’s in bridge mode, has a MASSIVE heatsink and a fan but is still super hot. Does modems really get that hot? I’d be curious to inspect what kind of traffic is coming out of the modem because my pihole isn’t catching anything from my router-onwards.

I’m looking for an Ethernet router which I’d connect a wireless access point to for WiFi.

Thanks for the recommendation. It’s a bit out of my price range but sfp might be an issue for my since my modem and Ap don’t have that port.

CowsLookLikeMaps OP ,
@CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works avatar

Thank you, that looks like a great option.

CowsLookLikeMaps OP ,
@CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works avatar

Oh, I see. I appreciate the explanation.

CowsLookLikeMaps OP ,
@CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works avatar

So they essentially sell WiFi routers that come with their own native firmware based on OpenWRT out of the box? Do you know if you can flash mainline OpenWRT so it continues to get support? The price definitely is reasonable for me to consider running one of these as an access point.

I’m not familiar with this brand and from searching, they’re a company from Singapore but ship out of China. If you flash your own OpenWRT, would that eliminate any privacy/security concerns? Asking out of ignorance.

However, right now I’m looking for a dedicated Ethernet router but thanks for the info!

CowsLookLikeMaps OP ,
@CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works avatar

It could be fun to set up my own router… Are you running OPNSense/pfSense on it?

At this point, I think millennials were scapegoated so hard as a generation that some boomers think it’s a synonym for young person.
