Problem is that many are clustered and in high-traffic areas. There's a triplet of them in one area near my neighborhood, covering entrance and exit of said area, so it's impossible to avoid detection.
Getting real fucking tired of these "hacker" groups making big claims like this, and then dropping off the face of the earth never to be heard from again.
Just like bozos making baseless legal threats to scare others into submission - If you actually have something on these assholes, then just fucking release it.
As tempting as that is, I'm not expecting to build up something that hefty. Love the wireminding and all, but I'm hoping to keep this as something I can mount nicely in my teeny tiny network cabinet. The horsepower I'm looking for, alongside the low thermal and power loads, are my goal. Maybe I'll expand beyond eventually, but who knows?
Understood! I'm just showing you that a tiny/mini/micro PC is incredibly beefy for what it is, especially when you stuff it with an i7 and a bunch of RAM.
Thank you for the suggestion though! Also love the R&C refs :) Still need to finish Rift Apart.
I name all my physical machines after R&C characters. HA is "Ace" as in Ace Hardlight, and the Optiplex on the left (running Frigate) is "Skrunch"... As in Qwark's monkey sidekick 😂
Rift Apart was super fun. The final battle sequence is awesome for grinding if you wanna 100% the game. I've got it down to a science haha.
Buy a 7th gen Intel based tiny/mini/micro PC instead of a Pi or NUC. You get much more bang for your buck. 35W max draw. They are far more capable than people give them credit for. I run 3 of them (4 if you count the Mac mini).
The real problem is the people in charge taking a common abbreviation of an arguably positive ideology, twisting that abbreviation into a "scary" name, calling it a violent group, packaging it all up with a neat little bow, and then parroting it to the brainwashed masses.
I addressed that already - there are three of them within 100ft of each other, and two of them are on the same post.
Here's a pic:
