They sell it with a 5500U (6core/12thread) or 5700U (8core/16thread), with 16G of RAM, and with either 512G or 1T NVMe SSD included. Other hardware includes a Realtek RTL8125 2.5G NIC, Realtek RTL8111 1G NIC, Realtek 8852 Wifi 6 card, and a Realtek Bluetooth adapter. The SSD is running at PCIe Gen 3 x 4 lanes.
Overall it functions about as I'd expect for a mini PC in this price point. Hopefully the video helps you in your buying decisions.

TechxArtisan sent me this kit for review, no money changed hands.
Overall I think the hardware is great. The kit I have includes the full bundle + the optional VGA cable (VGA really needs to disappear someday...). The software could use some work, it's functional but lacks niceties like pasting blocks of text. The lack of ISO emulation might be a dealbreaker, but you can plug a flash drive into the USB 2 port of the device to pass it through (or just directly into the device).

He's rated at 'AXE5400', which in wifi naming means it support 802.11AX (wifi 6), E means it supports the 6Ghz band, and 5400 is the sum of the wifi bandwidth across all bands in absolutely perfect conditions, 5400 isn't that high for tri-band.
Despite his low wireless rating he does in fact support 2.5Gbe on both LAN and WAN, although no PoE. He also supports 8 SSIDs per band, and you can either configure all 24 of those individually or configure them as 8 triple pairs.
My goal is to eventually run OpenWRT on him. If you're a dev and would like me to do any sort of testing, I'd be happy to help.

I cover several different methods:
- Using IPv6 only
- Using Cloudflare Tunnels
- Using SNID (sni daemon) - github.com/AGWA/snid
- Using HAProxy to forward TCP and TLS traffic
- Using Tayga to port-forward from IPv4 to IPv6
- Using Wireguard along with port-forwarding and NAT across the tunnel
The installation instructions for snid, haproxy, tayga, and wireguard are all in my blog post, along with a comparison table:

So today I'm taking a look at the Kwumsy H3 'Stream Dock' No, not THAT Stream Deck, not a dock for the Steam Deck, there's already enough name confusion. Basically, it tries to be a lower cost touchscreen alternative to the real Stream Deck, making use of the same addon format for wide addon support, and also somehow a USB-C laptop dock with Ethernet, USB 3, HDMI, and USB-PD passthrough.
While all of the hardware works as expected, the software experience isn't great. There are plenty of cases where it seems like the daemon doesn't automatically detect the H3 on boot, or the icons don't update. That said, I did a deep-dive into the USB protocol and it's pretty trivial and nearly identical to the 'real' Stream Deck protocol. I'm sure you can write your own software if you really want to or have a special use case for this thing.

I tried doing S3 speep (normal suspend to RAM) and found that the Microserver doesn't support this. I then didn't have enough space on my 16G boot disk (microSD card) for a swap partition to hibernate to, and don't want to mess with the partition tables on my zfs drives to add one there, so hibernate is out too. This leaves me with actually fully shutting the system down and booting back up in the future. Downside to this is the RTC won't wake it back up, I need to have another system send a Wake on LAN magic packet. No big deal, I just need to make sure I send it early enough that the backups aren't scheduled to start until after the server is fully booted.

I do a deep-dive into the hardware, build quality, overview of the included software, and go through the process of installing my own software on the unit. It's very easy to work on, with very easy access to the RAM and M.2 SSDs, and only slightly harder to access the boot M.2 if you want to replace the OS. Speaking of the OS, it's Debian-based, and I was able to install my own Debian system without too much trouble. This means that Proxmox VE and TrueNAS SCALE are very likely to work just as easily, as they are also both Debian based.

In this video, I walk through what LoRa and LoRaWAN are, how you can setup a LoRaWAN gateway and self-hosted Chirpstack cloud for your own home network, and eventually get sensor data all the way across my LoRaWAN network and into Home Assistant!
LoRaWAN Gateway:
(US 915Mhz): elecrow.com/lr1302-lorawan-gateway-module-spi-us915-sx1302-long-range-gateway-module-support-8-channels.html

The Sensor I Bought from Dragino (they have a ton of LoRaWAN sensors): dragino.com/products/temperature-humidity-sensor/item/224-lht65n.html
*Warning* YoLink produces Home Automation products using LoRa, but they do not support standards-compliant LoRaWAN, despite being built on LoRaWAN. So you cannot use them with your own network.

With SDN, you can manage your Proxmox VNets and VNet Zones cluster-wide, and enforce permissions on users who can configure VNets for VM and Container resources. While the SDN has additional functionality for managing DNS, DHCP, and VXLAN, those are still in tech preview so I'm only going to cover the basics today. Let me know if you want a follow-up on those topics!
Proxmox also has a section in their admin manual on SDN which you may find helpful, as it covers all options thoroughly:

But for this to work well, I need to give my IPv6-only clients access to the IPv4 internet, via NAT64. So join me as I setup Tayga to provide NAT64 functionality on OPNsense!
And once I have NAT64 setup, I can start to migrate clients entirely away from legacy networking. Some of them are relying on DNS64, and others on a 464xlat CLAT. Apple is the best at supporting this, but if you have a lot of mobile devices on your network, you can probably reduce the size of your DHCP pool significantly with very little effort.

Buy the Crowvision 11.6" display for Single Board Computers:
elecrow.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=crowvision
I'm still not happy with the software and am trying to find a better app without writing one myself, so maybe I'll have a followup in the future when I'm actually impressed by something.
Fundamentally, the RISC-V architecture is a document which describes the binary machine lanuage of a 32, 64, or 128 bit processor with integer and optional floating point support, but it's also symbolic of the shift to open computing for the future, and as a computer engineer I'm excited to learn more about it.

There are also smaller models with 2 and 4 bays which also use UAS (USB Attached SCSI), the D4-300 and D2-300 use the same USB architecture without an onboard RAID controller (perfect for ZFS).

So, driven by my desire to consolidate my critical services into one box so I can lab away with the rest of the boxes, I am taking the time to shut down some of the most critical servers in the house and re-home them, then disassemble the parts for the next project.
As a result, I'm going to show you some behind the scenes computer building, shuffling, and the actual setups I'm using for storage and virtualization.
The blog post includes a full guide on the more unique configurations I'm using, so be sure to check that out too!

So in this video, I'm setting up a Gitea server. Gitea is a simple self-hosted Git repository manager, with the features you'd expect like user management, issues, collaboration, etc. in a nice web UI. It's like a more basic version of Github. I'm sure I'll expand on it more in the future, but for now it's functional and I can store my website and projects in it.

I'm currently using Linode's object storage for backing up my personal data (~200G), and not backing up the video files outside of the two existing copies (on the storage server and the PBS server). With the affordability of tapes, I can keep the video files and personal data off-site reliably.

I've decided due to budget limits to build a relatively average AMD AM5 system, which should have a good upgrade path and enough performance for now. The Ryzen 7600 should be less powerful than the outgoing Threadripper, but at much higher per-core performance, which isn't particularly helpful for rendering but is good for a lot of other day to day computing activities.
Thank you to all who donated to the cause on Ko-Fi, hopefully you can see that I've already put your donation to good use. I'll keep the Ko-Fi open going forward, and update the goals as I have new projects come up. ko-fi.com/apalrd

I've of course made sure the site is fully dual-stack with excellent IPv6 support, and even support HTTP/3 (QUIC)! Hopefully that helps with the site latency for those of you in Australia.
