I have no idea of the source for this image, but I like the aesthetic!

I am so tired of this claim, it just feels that way because you are used to it, just as C feels easier to use for describing temperatures for me as I am used to that.

It is a completely subjective definition, that you can’t judge objetively.

Doesn’t even have to be extreme if you don’t understand the risks.

Looking back at computing history, cloud computing is basically reverting back to the original mainframes and dedicated terminals.

There was a hype of using thin clients, the concept is that you get just enough hardware and software to be able to connect to a session running on a shared server, the admin can allocate more resources like CPU cores, RAM and storage as individual needs change over time.

As an IT guy, I do like the concept in a corporate environment, especially when looking at the SunRay system from Sun, which used smartcards for easier access, you put your card into the client and if configured properly, you got your old session loaded and ready in a few sec, regardless of which client you put your card into.

The YT channel Clabretro has several interesting SunRay videos.

Before you start with this project, consider the power use of a full X86 system even at idle and compare that to a standard router.

If you are looking to run this as an access point permanently, the cost of power may add up.

I am not saying that you shouldn’t do it, but take it into account before deciding.
