A bit expensive, but something like this could be a worthy upgrade on the good old PC-Engine APU4 boards many self-hosters use.

It's a good-looking device, but it was stupid of them to use M1 as the name when Apple's got that name locked down as far as what shows up in a search engine.

Pardon my ignorance, I’m just starting to learn some things here; what are the applications of this device?
TheButtonJustSpins@infosec.pub · 6 pts · 3y
To serve as a router or firewall.

My APU4 running OpenWRT kinda struggles to run SQM on my 1.2gbps connection, cuts the download speeds in half, I wonder if this i3 could do any better.

Very likely as the CPU and the Intel NICs in the APU4 are over a decade old now.

that's cool, sbc's just keep getting better

Those are two boards stacked together, right? Or am I confused about what sbc refers to?
StandingCat@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
It is two, but the top board is optional. So i think it’s still a sbc with an optional addition on?
FierroGamer@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 3y
Oh ok then, I don't really know much about SBC, I thought it was a literal term.

single board computer
FierroGamer@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 3y
Yeah, but the other person says this two boards computer counts, hence the confusion
leadrunes@lemmynsfw.com · 2 pts · 3y
i guess that would be a double board computer :)

Dang, I was actually interested until I saw the possible non standard USBc port instead of a flipping barrel jack. Give me PD or give me a barrel jack.

Yeah, I noticed that too. USB-C, but 12-19V really limits the choice of power connectors you can use. However, I guess any modern USB-C laptop psu will work.

For a fixed installation I don't think the power delivery mechanism matters that much. For something you're moving around yeah 100% use a standard plug.
any immobile infrastructure doesn't really matter right, you're going to set it up once and never move it

As specifically mentioned in the aricle, it doesn't have any Wifi. I consider this a plus for a gateway device like this.

I love the fanless design. I have a four 1 GB board, it served me very well. No fans either.
