need something very basic, but very reliable to run a tailscale subnet router on - my first thought was just a VM on a proxmox box, but if that shits the bed, i can't access the LOM because the subnet router is on it!

so probably need something standalone, but i dont want it sucking too much power (or too expensive)

@decryption sounds like a job for a tiny 5G router https://www.gl-inet.com/ or similar

holy crap.. they've made a 5G KVM

@shlee ooh 5G is a nice backup - i wonder what the signal is like inside the datacenter

@decryption I get 5G in ME2... having a KVM connected to local network with 5G fallback actually sounds great

*buys*

@shlee yeah it's super handy if the internet is down and you want to know if it's your fault or theirs, lol

@decryption as a brand, I love gl inet... plus they regularly run openwrt so you can mod it to hell (at least the models I've used previously)

the KVM might not use openwrt...

@shlee @decryption I got some Comet PoEs for work and they run some kind of Linux. Work pretty damn well across windows, macOS and iPadOS - I love gl inet too
