Why the hell is this being downvoted? Seems pretty unpopular to me.

As a zoomer that never had to deal with the MS-DOS era this was a very interesting read.

What’s your budget?

I have one behind my TV that controls LED lights, although that may count as electronics. I’ve used PIs many times for when I just need a cheap computer doing computery things such as playing audio from spotify out of a speaker. They’re small enough to fit pretty much anywhere with the help of some velcro.

Mind if I join you in your backyard as well?

Wrong sub. This is supposed to be askreddit

It’s fun

My knees disagree but each to their own ;)

A VPN you could use on your phone, computer, laptop, tablet, TV, Samsung SmartFridge, etc. I’ll admit it’s a bit more involved than ssh -L ... but it’s well worth it. Especially if you’re the only one using it. After setting up Wireguard I’ve elimated all my router port forwards except SSH and WG

Why not use a proper VPN instead of SSH tunnels?

btw…

Ah darn. I was hoping it was a channel issue (easy fix). I hope you get all your money back.

How many RAM slots do you have? Are the RAM cards all the same spec?
