A long-overdue privacy upgrade: the sad and powerless Amazon eero was replaced with a Linux-powered router.

As a bonus, I can finally plug in my home server via Ethernet and reduce lag (even SSH lagged!), there's also a ✨web-UI✨ instead of the eero app. One less app!

Amstrad PPC512 - NEC V30 (8088) Powered Portable from 1987.
(Bit of a screen issue, which I'll either try to repair, mod or replace/upgrade).
Pretty cool to have another machine to play with, my PPC640 is pristine, has the backpack, original disks so great to keep as it is.

It would seem that some of my ancient 10+ year old SSDs in the 60-128gb range are experiencing sudden death after sitting around for years. They're basically bricked and can't be written to.

EDIT: This should be a PSA. SSDs are not for cold storage.
