The NSA being able to see what you can do, is not an acceptable trade off.

The NSA? Buying from AliExpress. I would expect the CCP.

> I’m running my own fork, which can handle large blocklists in an efficient manner, but you probably shouldn’t run binaries provided by random strangers

Give us the source code then lad

Cool!

I guess you backup the configs to GitHub (or w/e) incase it stops working so you don’t have to start from scratch?

I'm using restic to make a backup to Backblaze every night. I originally wanted to install everything with NixOS but the hardware is a bit too constrained for that.

Another decent “the device was not originally intended for this” discount you can find for HomeLab devices is ChromeBox.

Years ago I grabbed an inordinate amount of used Chromeboxen on ebay (some Celeron, mostly i7, Haswell), flashed with MrChromeBox, upgraded SSD and RAM. Had double digit nodes in a local K8s. They aren't going to run LLMs, but damn great at Homelab containers/services still.

Really cool setup! This is the first time I’m hearing about ZeroClaw. I’ve been thinking adding something like this in my own homelab. How has it been for you?

It's been a pretty good experience so far, the default security settings are extremely constrained but it has a "YOLO" mode which removes them.

I would recommend reading the docs first (they're pretty good) and then enabling the security settings that make sense for your setup.

It's pretty cool to be able to ask your agent over Telegram for a graph of the disk usage over the past week or to ask it to update a container image.

If anyone’s interested in have about 300 of these that I need to sell. They are all equipped with the board edition on which the SIM card works with the OpenStick, and come with the original IMEI/firmware.

I also have factory software that flashes and restores them while preserving the IMEI by saving the firmware to GCS.

It's really cool and I do have a Pi in "homeprod" since the Debian 9 days (!): my trusty unbound DNS resolver.

For anyone who wants a way more beefy homelab but still at a bargain price, I think it's hard to beat used Xeon workstations. Buy one with a 4-cores Xeon and then replace it with a 20-cores / 40 threads.

It'll run a ZFS tank and shitloads of VMs without any issue: it's made for that.

I didn't pay it $10, more like $200.

I only turn my Xeon server on when I need it (hence the 24/7 Pi running unbound: that one is up all the time and consumes nothing).

On my $10 USD OpenStick I run an automatic ATM machine.

it's the right direction. my home lab started with my own mail server, git, file sync and few other things years ago served by a 2gb ram arm sbc.
