NanoPi NE03 Plus is a tiny, headless single-board PC for $24

The FriendlyELEC NanoPi NE03 Plus is a tiny single-board computer (SBC) that measures 48 x 48mm (1.9″ x 1.9″) and features a 2 GHz Rockchip RK3528A quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 processor with Mali-450 graphics.

While the little computer isn’t exactly a speed demon, it is cheap. The NanoPi NE03 Plus available now for $24. But while it’s a nice step up from the original NEO03 Plus that launched in […]

wow, my Armbian first boot experience with the FriendlyElec NanoPi M6 was WAY ahead of what I went thru with the M4 - clearly a ton of work has been happening!

here's what I did:

1. write the @armbian image to a microSD.
2. connect all necessary peripherals to the #NanoPi and insert the microSD.
3. turn on the power.

that's all. it Just Worked. #Armbian

Are there any small form factor (#SFF) #SBC with case, like the #NanoPi which support: 1. #OpenWRT (or other WiFI routing/networking software) 2. other #linux distributions (like Alpine Linux) and 3. has WiFi (preferably WiFi6, but any WiFi is better than none in this situation).
The #BerylAX seems like it may not be sufficient with 512MB RAM, but it is a pretty light weight small portable travel router.

If anyone is curious why, I could go into details in the comments.

I'm very happy to announce that thanks to a donor who wishes to remain anonymous, I have in my hands a FriendlyElec NanoPi M6 - in this configuration, a tiny fanless desktop #microPC based on the Rockchip RK3588S processor.

I've had my eye on this device to fill the role of ultraportable desktop PC, especially in the event my laptop ever breaks or is lost/stolen, which would instantly render me unable to work if I didn't have a backup.

because of this generous gift, I'll be able to put the #NanoPi M6 to the test, and answer my top-of-line question: just how usable is this device as a light-duty desktop PC running Linux right now, in 2026? how well is the hardware supported? will I have problems getting work done?

I'm looking forward to having answers to all that and more. be sure to keep an eye on the Peertube channel @surfhosting.cc in the coming weeks and months ... and thank you so much to my donor, you know who you are!

Последние пару месяцев экспериментировал с настройками и решил сделать небольшую перестройку в домашней сети

OpenWRT служил хорошо, но за последнее время всё чаще стал ощущать, что он ограничивает возможности. Особенно когда нужно что-то нестандартное - например, подключить сторонние сервисы, настроить сложные правила фильтрации или использовать какие-то новые средства ;) . Поэтому решил перейти на Debian 12. Пока всё работает стабильно, и есть ощущение, что теперь можно будет гибче подходить к задачам.

Также поменял железо: BananaPi BPI-R3 ушёл в запас (надо будет выставить на продажу). На его место пришёл NanoPI R5S. Почему он? потому что 3 порта и лёгкость в установке

Wi-Fi теперь раздаётся отдельным устройством — TP-Link Archer C7, который стоит в более удобном месте. Покрытие квартиры стала равномернее, почти нет зон с плохим сигналом.

Why are they creating the requirement for 8GB of storage for absolutely no reason, other than including a way too large EMPTY userdata partition in their #Linux image?

Now i need to loop-mount, resize, truncate, and fondle the image - i'm a cheap tightarse, who bought the #NanoPi Neo Core #SBC variant with only 4GB EMMC.

My quest with Nanopi R2S Plus + FreeBSD 14.3 ARM64 almost done. Two ports are detected but not working as expected!
