Those things are ancient, too. It’s annoying that there are no tiny cheap Linux SBC’s like that, which you can straightforwardly buy.

Apple’s old airport express was kinda that. You plugged it into the wall and it was a wifi repeater, had a USB port to make your wired printer wireless, and a 3.5mm jack for airplay to speakers. It was about the size of a macbook power brick, but for 2004 you can’t complain.

Tasmota ones, but the esp32(?) was already mentioned. It’s in the greeni wifi plugs, if I recall, and so many others.

True, I remember those, didn’t realize they were still around. At that point I’d just as soon use a pi zero though.

Luckfox Pico Mini might be you’re looking for. It’s a Linux SBC that costs around 10 USD, in a Teensy/Raspberry Pico or even smaller formfactor.

Good to know about, thanks. The wifi version is bigger but the non wifi version is still interesting.

Along the same lines as the Transcend card is Blue SCSI which is a little raspberry pi based SSD for vintage Macs that lets you FTP into the drive from a modern machine for file transfer.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
