- Can be made to run full Debian/Arch/OpenWRT with ease. - Consumes roughly 5 watts of power (depending on peripherals you hookup). - Includes everything you need out of the box. No need to buy a separate SD card + powersupply + LAN cable just to get it going. - All for under $12 (if you shop around).
Picked up one from the thrift store last month for $5. One of these days I’ll do *somehting* with it.

Might i suggest using one as a pihole? Forward all your DNS requests to it and have a network wide adblock.
I have mine blocking youtube, roku, and spotify ads on my streaming boxes. shit's pretty cash.
David Parker
this works with a HOSTS file as well. much more efficient.
Noah Cox
but is it more streamlined? once set up properly, any new device that joins your network gains adblocking capability.
updates are also much easier. click a button on the webmin page, boom, you're updated. No need to hand edit a HOSTS file.

What's that, a pi for faggots?
Colton Gomez
Guys got any pointers to sites on hacking these? I only briefly looked it up on my phone while standing in the store. So all I know is I can “do stuff” with it.
Ayden Adams
I have it on my WiFi network (openwrt) and works just fine. Combined with a filter script, cronjob (every 2 weeks) and wget, this works wonders.
James Torres
It's actually worse than the first pi
Carter King
That's exactly what this is. Plz come be gay with us in pi for faggots land!
There are actually quite a few guides for exactly this:
The trickiest bit is getting SSH access to it. Once you've got that, the rest is easy.

>Marvell Kirkwood 1.2GHz jej >RAM: 256MB kek >NAND: 128MB zoz Might as well get a fucking turd or something. You can get that piece of shit, or you can get a Surface Pro with an i7 and 16 GB of RAM and install Hyper-V on it. It comes with a built in screen, built in battery, built in speakers, and built in wifi. Oh, and a USB 3 port. Have you heard of any of that? Oh, no you didn't. You're using some poorfag shit that needs to have another machine connecting to it to use. >256 MB RAM Yeah let me just spin up 40 Linux virtual machines on my Surface. Have fun lugging 40 of those pieces of shit around. That's 200 watts worth of that garbage. Did I mention I don't need to connect another computer to the virtual machines in order to use them?

Unlike the pi, It was built with 24/7 operation in mind. It's also 1/4 the price when you consider everything you have to purchase just to get the pi into a usable state.

Didn't a DARPA dude turn that into a info-sniffing carbon monoxide detector?
Daniel James
it's entirely possible, people have been using these things in several interesting ways.
I saw a post a while back on some Asian forum where the innards of some Hi-Fi equipment were nothing more than one of these in a fancy case.
Kevin Reyes
Do they still make pogo plugs? I remember freedombox was trying to use it as a reference platform.
Brayden Robinson
absolutely not. the parent company folded a while back.
You CAN buy 100 of them for a $1000 though. or 10 of them for $100. Much less for one if you shop around.
Brody Cox
Or you could whip one up out of a OrangePi Zero with the NAS module. Made this century and supported.
Elijah Morales
Orange Pi Zero = 16.99 (lowest price i could find. Chinese Ebay seller) Orange Pi NAS module = 12.99 (lowest price i could find. Chinese Ebay seller) Orange Pi AC Adapter = 8.99 (lowest price I could find. Chinese Ebay Seller) --------------- $38.97 + sales tax (if applicable) + whatever it costs for an SD card to boot the thing. > All that for 100mbit ethernet + whatever limitations going over USB might provide.
Comes with everything built-in/included in the box. >Gigabit ethernet.

This. Projectfags are so dense. There are a billion cheap ass smartphones out there that any basically competent person can modify into far better project tools than these gimmick made-for-hobby jokes.
