XenGi

Du you want a plastic box or a pc with your own os on it (like opnsense or Linux)? It anything in between? I would say the 2 ends are between a fritzbox and an AliExpress router PC.

Btw throw your repeater away in case you use it as a Wi-Fi extender. It cuts your wifi performance to 1/4. It only works if you use it with a cable as a separate access point.

If you also want to improve your wifi setup, I can recommend unifi. Aruba is also good but they went cloud only and who knows how long they will keep there old non cloud firmware updated.

I use them as a coaster for coffee. They shouldn’t contain any lead. I guess that would be illegal at least in the EU. You can’t even put lead in solder anymore, so I’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to put it in HDDs.

I’m pretty sure that’s not true. What do you think is on there?

140$? Why is this so expensive in the us? We pay 90€ (~100$) in Germany. So brake even is with like 20x 5€ shipping orders per year. Which I sadly do pretty easily. Getting the stuff I need locally is sadly not that easy.

I wouldn’t say “built” if I bought an off the shelf one. Synology is pretty great though, don’t get me wrong.

What the hell are you talking about? If you mean nixos’ dependence on aws, there are alternatives to that like cachix and in the worst case, you could still setup some distributed caching network like ipfs or something torrent based. AWS was simply the easiest choice at the time.

Mozilla needs to stay alive no matter what. If they go away there is only Google browsers left.

I donate 10€ to Arch Linux and NixOS monthly because they let me run all my stuff and occasionally to projects I like. Especially the ones that save me money that would go into media consumption etc.
