Wyse 5070 Extended as Router, Switch and access point? (alien.top)
 

I'd like to replace my ISP router with a third party router (My ISP allows it; I also have separated ONT). My main uses are:

  • Having a reliable and featureful OS on it (like PFSense, OPNSense, or other)
  • Advanced firewall options (I'd like to put my NAS in a DMZ)
  • Run PiHole (Optional?)

Many suggest using a desktop PC as a router, and more specifically, the Wyse 5070 Extended looks to be very popular due to its small footprint and extendability through PCI-e.

Also, with a 4 2.5GB ports NIC and a Wireless card, it could also act as a switch and access point.

Is there any catch i'm unaware of? Would it be a good choice?

This question may look naive, but I'm using this as an opportunity to learn. Thank you in advance for your help.

Smart button to IKEA TERTIAL with Smart Lamp (alien.top)
 

Hello, I have (or will buy) the following components: Sonoff Zigbee gateway, Philips Hue, IKEA Tertial. I'd like to remove the TERTIAL's button and replace it with a smart button that will turn on/off the lightbult instead of the lamp.

The reason for this is that I hate the fact that I can't turn on the lamp remotely if I turn it off phisically. On the other hand, I'd like not to rely exclusively on other devices such as smartphone (or TRADFRI buttons, which may discharge) to perform such a simple task as turning the lamp on and off.

Is there a device that is as described? Thank you in advance

Cancel pending key chain (alien.top)
 

Ok, let's compile this stuff

C-x-

wait, it was in the C-c keymap. Let's cancel this keybinding by... um... pressing ESC repeatedly?

C-x ESC ESC: executes (repeat-complex-command)

How can one cancel the current key chain in Emacs? I also tried C-x C-g but i get a message C-x C-g is undefined which makes me think that it isn't reserved for this kind of purpose.

Smallest device which could run comfortably emacs in c/[email protected]

Haven't tried it, but you could use a smartphone + Corne Choc + trackpoint

It's wired. There are versions with Bluetooth but no trackpoint.

It fits in a external hard disk case

Cheap low power, low performance single SATA port SBC? (alien.top)
 

I have an Odroid HC2 with a 6TB HDD. I need another board whose only job is to keep a backup of the former. These are the requirements:

  • Low power: max 12V 2A
    • Optional: can be powered via Poe/Poe+ (Otherwise I'll use a splitter)
  • One sata3 port
  • Cheap (I'm from Italy, so it should be available in Europe)
  • Compact

What could I use?

What are the extensions to have functional IDE in zero time? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

In zero time: no one. Emacs gives you all the ingredients to make an IDE, but you can't bake a cake in zero time. It will take time (and be gradual, just like leavening).

Can't give you exhaustive reply right now but I suggest to try fit your editor to one language at a time: start with Emacs Lisp, then maybe Python then something else...

Make Emacs fit your needs NOW, or you'll get overwhelmed.
