  • OpnSense would be the easiest way if you wanted to go. It’s still not easy, but the articles online should help you out.

    First you’d need a machine. I’ve got an m920q I bought off eBay for $135 after shipping.

    The computer will likely only have one Ethernet port. And it’s likely the port is Realtek which isn’t supported well.

    So, you’ll need to get yourself a NIC (a fancy term for a network card). There are good forum posts and articles online about the best NICs to buy for your needs. Intel is a must. However, you can find many of their NICs online labeled as another brand - usually HP, Lenovo, or Dell. Again, the forum posts will tell you what to look for.

    If you bought the same computer I mentioned above, you’ll also need a riser and a bezel. Amazon and eBay will have a good selection.

    Now assemble it. Flash the computer with OpnSense. Don’t plug it in as your router yet. Follow along with some basic setup guides online to figure out how you want it configured.

    Once you’re happy, plug it in as your router and test that it works. If not, you’ll need to put your old router back in place until you can figure out what you need to change.










  • That would be great, but you can buy a $20 burner from a gas station that’s more powerful than those phones.

    The regular version uses the Allwinner A64 chip which retailed for $5 when it was released… Back in 2015.

    The Pro version uses the RK3399S, which is a custom lower binned version of the RK3399. Neither chip was made available retail, but the SK3399 was released in 2016 and only otherwise used in low-end Chromebooks and SBCs.






  • Death rate per 100,000,000 miles has been dropping a lot over time.

    In 1923, when it first started being tracked, it was standing at 21.65. 1970, it was 4.88. 1990, 2.21. In 2021, it was 1.5.

    It spiked recently, though, a tiny bit around 2015-2016 but then greatly in 2021. In 2014, the rate was 1.17.

    I do agree that the self-driving features are kinda pointless, especially right now, though. GM has gotten especially bad with their marketing, showing ads with people intentionally taking their hands off the wheel and not paying attention to the road while the car’s moving.
