I will decommission this piece of trash for a better SBC to host my services. what am I supposed to do with this then? it has 1gb of ram.
>>
>>108697769
might feel good up the ass, lots of texture
>>
>>108697769
sell it to some retard that will probably still overpay for it

>>108697777
or do as the quads say :D
>>
>>108697769
Turn it into a remote controlled butt plug
>>
>>108697783
it's too big to serve as that but I've been wanting to build a fuck machine. an esp32 will be enough though
>>
>>108697769
>it has 1gb of ram.
But can it run Crysis?
>>
>>108697769
Why don't you use it as a high availability fail over node for your essential services?
>>
>>108697816
I already host another server in my ex's apt (it hosts her home assistant stack). my server is wired to my router, if it fails it means that the router is at fault.
>>
>>108697858
..you still do IT work for your ex? Please tell me its at least not your hardware and you're actively hosting things on there, not just a backup system.
>>
>>108697769
what's wrong with the 3b? i'm still rocking mine as an mpd server webhosting an mpd client?
>>
>>108697951
we're still seeing and she fucks me. yes I maintain something at her home but setting up the home assistant stuff is a small cost compared to the convenience of having a backdoor there and an additional server I can rely on. and yes it's my hardware
>>
>>108697954
rpi 3b does not even support HA + matter + otbr. I like to host all my services on the same board.
>>
>>108697968
damn bro she still lets you go through the backdoor, whyd you even break up
>>
>>108697769
Buy a dual ethernet expansion card and install openwrt on it, break into an airport and install this between you and security cameras and use it as a remote camera kill switch to commit crimes while leaving little evidence
>>
>>108697769
You could do a few things with it quite comfortably. No investment at all, a pihole. A network wide adblocker.
Some investment, an ADS-B reporter station to help aviation fags like myself track flights. Every station helps. It's neat to me to go out and fly and have a tracking record of where I went. Also highly improves safety in GA.

she's tech illiterate but I told her all I can do and she doesn't care. she said she wasn't happy after 5 years and broke. 9 months after she still hasn't found a new boyfriend and we started seeing again. fine by me, she fucks me and I get to enjoy the freedom of being alone

sounds cool but also speedrun to jail

I already do pihole, picrel

>I already do pihole, picrel
You could have two. I have three for redundancy.
>>
>>108698065
why
>>
>>108698071
Redundancy. The one time I had an esxi fail was the time I was out of the country. That's the one the pihole was one. Now I have three, two on different esxi, and a third on a compute stick.
>>
>>108698071
So that if one shits the bed it won't crash your entire network
>inb4 set secondary DNS to something like 1.1.1.1
The secondary DNS setting isn't a backup, it's always implemented as a hot secondary in round-robin, plus if requests fail via the pihole they'll be reissued to the secondary which effectively means pihole is bypassed

a 555 would be enough for that, nigger

but why? UBO just werks on sites, apps still have ads
>>
>>108698267
nothing wrong wanting to have some fun, anon
>>108698294
on my phone I need to block all ads. Pihole + wireguard comes very handy.
>>
>>108698294
Not everything can have uBO installed on it. You would be surprised what uBO misses.
>>
>>108697769
give it to me
>>
Leave it by the curb in a box marked "free". Ideally some young adult finds it and develops an interest in personal computing. This is the best use it could possibly have, and it is ironically one of the reasons it was made in the first place.

>does not even support HA + matter + otbr.
Dunno what all that shit is but I run HomeAssistant with a Zigbee controller on my Pi 3B+.
>>
>>108697769
whats wrong with it? 1gb should be plenty for server tasks?
>>
>>108697769
I use one as an IRC bouncer.
>>
>>108698435
uBO will get everything a DNS-based ad blocker like a Pihole will get because it also does DNS-based ad blocking plus all the other things.

it can still run a lot of low power shit, connect it to some hard drives via usb and you have a little NAS
i have a bunch of raspberries i got into them when people were using them to compress live video for digital fpv drones so a bunch of mine are slightly beat up from drone crashes but all work.
>>108698039
what OS are you running on the orangepi? their stock vendor debian?
>>
>>108697769
Shit, homie, how much you want fo' it? Seriously, list it somewhere online for sale and I'll buy it from you if you can ship to the USA. Just... y'know, don't do what the holy based quads say >>108697777 unless you're willing to put it in a sterile bag so I can submerge it in 91% isopropyl because I don't want to touch your pooperjuice.

I'd make it a failover for my VPN server and a few other services that are presently running on a 2013 macbook air that has really fucking serious issues with holding a goddamn network connection for more than 72 hours. It doesn't matter what I do, it will not reconnect unless I manually intervene physically at the machine. I've got a script that runs via cron job where it will try to ping a DNS server and if it gets a "no route to host" response then it will cycle the interface and request a new lease from the router, if the ping goes through then it does nothing. The script runs just fine, does everything it's supposed to do, but 5 mins later when it runs again it's still getting no route to host unless I manually type all the same fucking commands physically at the machine that the script runs. I've added extremely verbose logging to the script, it definitely does everything it's meant to. The machine is just being a cvnt. So I want a failover device that uses very little power to fill the gaps when the mba shits the bed since it inevitably will decide to do it when I'm not home - you know .. When I actually need the fucking VPN since all of my machines will automatically block connections from outside my LAN thus making a VPN the only way to access any of my services away from home - that really fucks things like my car's access to my media for the galaxy tab S7 mounted in my dash with a 5G hotspot in the car (couldn't find a 5G version of the tablet when I bought it) and I like having access to my audiobooks and music in the car without having to buy a bunch of extra storage JUST for the car when I can stream it from my NAS at home.

So yeah. Fucking... Thanks for coming to my TEDX talk, be sure to like and subscribe for more content, and welcome to my blog. Niggers.

yes, zigbee is lightweight and works out of the box. matter is glowie software, I hate it but I had to install it anyways.
>>108701436
I run armbian on the orangepi, it's working really well. they released a debian 13 image recently. everything runs inside rootless quadlets.

got dietpi on my orangepi 5 , trying it out as a hermes-agent machine (kind of similar to openclaw).

from all the SBC distros i tried dietpi feels like the most polished one they have ncurses TUI interfaces to do most things you'd want to do on such a board
>>
>>108702005
cool. you run it on an ssd? i need to buy an endurance sdcard for my orangepi. kinda crazy the amount of services I can run on this tiny board with 2w consumption.
>>
>>108697777
Quads of truth
>>
>>108702045
yes an m.2 ssd, i think you can even boot from a usb drive like you can with raspberry pi

and yea i tried to use an ancient laptop to serve the same role but it was way louder and power hungry. you can kind of run a server on an old phone with termux under android (even unrooted) but android has it's quirks and sometimes cause sproblems
>>
>>108697769
what exactly is it, anon?
>>
>>108697769
put lakka(retroarch) on it and play 2d rpgs like shining force, chrono trigger and lunar silver star
that's what i do with mine
i have a raspberry pi 2. it's powerful enough to play ps1 games at full speed

i also have a separate sdcard for kodi so i can watch movies with it

>>
>>108703405
That's not how Linux versioning works, there is no "minor" kernel version. Every release is a new version.
6.1 was 19 releases ago.
>>
>>108702614
she's not and it's hard to find a woman who will top you when you're a bottom
>>
>>108701269
You'd think so but my piholes still block requests that uBO allowed. I have a pretty aggressive setup on both though.
>>
>>108703733
another point in favor of pihole, when you use your phone, you will use less data because piholes does the job instead of a local filtering list
>>
>>108697769
They are easy to resell.

>>108697769
>fullsize HDMI
Anon, thats not trash, that is a precious historical artifact.
Its the new pi's that are all trash.
>>
i just bought a 3b+ for $40. u mad?
>>
>>108704413
i never got why they got rid of it there's clearly room for atleast one of the HDMIs to be fullsize on the new ones
i fucking hate those adapters im always afraid to lose it
>>
>>108703733
Then I know that your blocklists on both devices are simply different. You can easily fix that.
>>108703842
You're still using the same amount of data from your provider but it's offloaded to your Pihole at the cost of latency.
AdAway is better than a Pihole.
>>
>>108697769
Klipper host for a Duender
>>
>>108705392
no, when you route all your traffic through wireguard, your phone initiates the first requests then pihole filters out and returns only what you need
>>
>>108707581
Wireguard is not an ISP. You need to contact upstream DNS servers and get blocklists. Whether it's your device or your Pihole that's doing it is the question.
>>
>>108707626
you delegate the DNS resolution to the device hosting pihole and wireguard, resulting in less requests from your phone.
>>
>>108707665
That's not how DNS works at all.
Your "phone" (client device) needs to send DNS query requests and receive DNS responses. There is no way around this. Your client device makes the same number of requests.
With a Pihole, all you're doing is adding a DNS forwarder in between you and whatever upstream DNS servers you configured like 1.1.1.1.
All it does is the filtering step, like sending back NXDOMAIN responses instead of resolving an ad domain.
>>
>>108707681
I think you completely missed the wireguard part, but I am done arguing with someone who only wants to be the one who is right. My home server is the one initiating the requests and filtering.
>>
>>108707727
Wireguard doesn't change how DNS works. Wireguard is just a UDP-based tunnel. It encapsulates IP packets, and neither v4 or v6 contain domain names in their headers to do what you think it does.
>My home server is the one initiating the requests and filtering.
Then how does your client device know which IP addresses map to which domain names? Perhaps it sends a request to your home server which does the filtering?
Stop claiming benefits that don't exist and then whine about it when anyone with basic networking knowledge can prove you're spreading misinformation.
