Oh, good to know. I just use it because it looks like it wasn’t made in 2002 😂

That would probably not be a good feature on a PC.

Not really a big deal. Card gets stolen, I report it, they refund the charges and send me a new card.

My credit card works just fine 🤷

Just to give credit where it’s due.

They just keep implementing features from Graphene OS without ever mentioning them.

What is?

Man I’ve been using Droidify for a long time 😅

I’m not shocked, they’re all terrible. The only thing that shocks me is that they keep trying year after year.

You and I both fell into that trap because no one else seems to care and the fanboys will even deny the bloatware exists.

How will they detect “VPN traffic”?

Many admins say it is a lot of work and they put a lot of effort, money and energy in it. Some even close their instance after few years, because it is just too much.

I would say you should limit the number of active accounts. Probably to a few hundred at most in the beginning. Close registration when things start to become too much. Re-evaluate periodically and re-open as necessary/desired. There’s no reason you have to allow thousands of people on your instance.

Fair enough, mate. Good luck.

especially w/ fast NVMe drives as swap

These won’t be fast, as detailed in the OP:

Since Intel’s Alder Lake-N processors only have 9 PCIe lanes which have to be shared between the SSDs and other hardware, the M.2 slots include five PCIe 3.0 single-lane connections, and one PCIe 3.0 x2 connection

I mean, that’s fine if that works for you, but consider more than just your current situation. If you ever wanted to upgrade it or it ever failed sometime in the future, you’d be boned. Personally I have had RAM fail and it cost me about $8 and 10 minutes to repair, rather than several hundred dollars replacing the entire machine.

Again, not necessarily. I have something very similar I use as a server.

Yes, for purposes of noise, size, speed and power efficiency

Depends on your usecase. This could very well be more than just a NAS.

Solderer ram is slightly more power efficient.

That may be true but I don’t really care either way.

And this is probably a laptop board.

Pretty sure a laptop board would not fit in this thing. It’s most definitely a dedicated board for this machine.

Though an N200 CPU does not have much headroom to upgrade for anyway.

You can use at least 32GB.

Bout Tree fiddy?
