I'm using one as a Proxmox qdevice and NUT server for my UPS. Not a bad little box for cheaper than a pi.

VyOS still exists, so far. I'm sure they'll kill it off the rest of the way eventually, but they haven't yet.

The Hynix is also one of the most power-efficient SSDs in existence, which for a Frigate+cameras setup (that will run 24/7 and spend a substantial amount of that time doing disk I/O) is worth considering. I would be surprised if you noticed a speed difference, but even if you did I would still...

I...hesitate to say "yes" like I'm dead certain from personal experience, but I can conceive of no possible reason why not. (Assuming of course that your opnsense router has 10GbE SFP+.)

Hey, if it'll do the trick for now then go for it, imo. Dual 10GbE should make it real easy to downlink to another switch as needed (gigabit PoE or 2.5G non-PoE, depending on which you need more of first).

Closest thing off the top of my head is the TrendNet TPE-3102WS: 8x2.5GbE PoE+, 2x10GbE SFP+, L3 managed. It's $349.99 which is maybe pushing too close to the kidney line, but you might be able to yoink one for cheaper if you keep an eye on Amazon Renewed or eBay. I vaguely recall there is a...

Plug it into your portable jumpstart and plug that into your automotive power?

The gallium in liquid metal will migrate slightly into the copper, permanently staining it. However, this has no impact on thermal performance and does not compromise the integrity of the copper IHS and/or heatsink. It also doesn't continue indefinitely- the copper will absorb gallium to a...

1.25 (DuPont or JST) 4-pin female, but

That is so, so, so weird. Anyway. Great post. Impressive sleuthing. Does it start up properly on reboot or do you have to go through the press-the-small-black-button-program-unplug-replug dance again?

PCIe is usually backwards-compatible- virtually always, where generation is concerned; it wanting Gen 2 instead of 3 isn't an issue. It wanting x2 lanes rather than x1 is an issue if you specifically wanted to run the dual TPU version; I'd just slap in one of the single TPU Corals (M-key /...

Holy moly, that's...a hefty performance impact. I mean, good of them to get it working at all, but. Yikes.

The 2- and 4-slot M.2 NVME breakout boards are exclusive to the 4-NIC version, if more, slower storage is something you care about having the option for.

With all the love that "traditional" NAS boards have been getting at the hobbyist/homelab level, I'm really hoping Ceph clustering will get some love soon. The R86S dual NVME option with an M.2-to-SATA adapter in one and an M.2-to-10GbE in the other is probably as close to the ideal solution...
