Lilbits: A RISC-V router (crowdfunding), an E Ink color dev kit, and Windows 11 taskbar customization

As promised, Microsoft is bringing back the ability to reposition the Windows taskbar… although you can’t actually do it just yet unless your a member of the Windows 11 Insider Preview program running an experimental build of Windows 11. More options for customizing the Start Menu are also rolling out to Insiders.

In other recent tech news from around the web, a crowdfunding project is […]

The Start9 router features a SpacemiT K1 RISC-V processor, 4GB RAM, 16GB storage, Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi 6 and a fork of OpenWrt. With a $300 price and crowdfunding, it ain't cheap... or guaranteed to ship though. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48140541 #RiscV #Router #Start9

I'm looking for some user based opinions.

I want to test out a "NAS" OS to make the first steps to replace my synology boxes.

The three that I have on my radar at the moment are:

#CasaOS
#Start9
#Umbrel

I have a couple old laptops that have #proxmox installed where I will test out the options, but before I start to like one, I would love some feedback from the #fediverse #selfhosting #selfHosted #lazyweb

I should probably start backing up #DEFCON phone contacts I made. Probably going to be spinning up a new @nextcloud server for contacts, calendar, and stuff. Probably only going to locally host it at first on my #Start9 server on the @purism Librem Mini they sent me for a review, and see if I can connect it over @torproject to my homelab for now. I'll see eventually about possibly hosting it in clearnet down the road once I get #cloudflare tunnels figured out for myself #InfoSec #Cybersecurity
I have been tinkering with this #Start9 server live on #twitch. Call me thoroughly impressed with #StartOS. Burn after Reading alone is worth it! I can send ephemeral encrypted messages and files that get destroyed upon reading. Easily host #Tor webpages or #Nextcloud over Tor, I can make a #bitcoin or #monero node, even #Mastodon and #matrix with a click of a button. I highly recommend tinkering with this https://start9.com/ #infosec #cybersecurity #privacy #linux #opensource

Sovereign computing for a free future

#Start9 sent me their Server Pure for a review. They appear to be based on the @purism Librem Mini computers. Intel ME is disabled out of the box. I will have to tinker with this on #twitch tomorrow live but their StartOS seems to be great for those starting to do a #homelab and they are all about data sovereignty and you owning your data. It has options to setup #Mastodon and #Matrix out the box as well as #bitcoin and #monero nodes with #tor as well.

Just bought and starting using @start9labs #start9 private computer. It is very very interesting what this may mean for web 3.0 and future of self sovereign computing.
