you can even have them assemble it all for a tiny fee
<eyJhb>
How much power does it use? Or more ,do you monitor the power?
<betawaffle>
it uses like < 10W peak, iirc
<eyJhb>
Cool. I considered getting a single unit, that I could use for a NAS as well
<eyJhb>
Well, with USB 3.0, then I could just use that as well.
<betawaffle>
you'd have to connect external storage. the internal stuff isn't necessarily very zippy or large
<eyJhb>
Yeah, so external using USB 3.0 should work I guess
<eyJhb>
The only "issue" is then how e.g. Plex would run on itt

it also has some mini-pcie things on the board, but the standard case doesn't have any holes for anything unusual to pass through, so it'd have to fit, or you'd need to keep the top off if you wanted to use those for anything special
<betawaffle>
also note, the cpu isn't super powerful. it's totally capable of handling gigabit internet traffic, but like nix isn't super fast
<betawaffle>
i mean... it's powerful for it's power draw, and being x86

sphalerite: yes, nft is much better or just use ferm and ignore the fact that nixos has that weird firewall module
<sphalerite>
ferm? Not heard of that before
<sphalerite>
hm, ferm vs nftables?
<andi->
ferm is a wrapper for iptables
<andi->
makes writing those rules much more fluent and also supports proper syntax checking
<andi->
nftables is somewhat similar, less features, and only validates the config if you are root (as it is done in the kernel) BUT is the much newer (and faster?) framework that implements filtering in the kernel. By now iptables is a frontend for nftables.
<sphalerite>
nftables backend for ferm when?
<andi->
technically it is that already
<andi->
ferm -> iptables -> nftables
<andi->
the last is happening in the kernel
<sphalerite>
fair enough
<sphalerite>
which would you recommend, for someone who hasn't used either before but is sufficiently familiar with iptables?
<hexa->
andi-: there is the wrapper, but is nixos actually using it?
<andi->
I thought the kernel internally was doing that already
<hexa->
sphalerite: ferm is the better experience and I don't think iptables will go away in the near future
