Oh man, I'm that guy arnt I? Lol sorry.
She's a dell, ZxOQ Wyse.
I'm checking that link out, very cool
Yup that's the one
You could set it up as an emulator box, I'm not sure how new of console you could go up to but you could probably run stuff pre-PS2 with it.
PS2 is pretty tough to emulate on older hardware.
Yeah PS2 starts getting iffy. I'll check out the emulator specs now that I have more info on the client.
If I can move everything up to the Wii into it that'll save me space on my external.
I can highly recommend installing Batocera for emulation. I got many Wii games running on an i3-2120 (may require some tweaking of settings on some games) - and I believe your CPU is more powerful than mine.
I have later upgraded my Batocera-box to an i5-6400 with a low end Nvidia-card which runs Wii and Ps2 flawlessly.
Huh, never heard of Batocera before. Thank you!
Pi hole
Eh I don't need a device just to block ads. Thank you for the suggestion though!
I've got a wyse 3040 with Ubuntu 22.04 lts running 24/7 just running pihole to block network adverts.
Then a wyse 5070 with a 256gb m2 ssd using windows 10 for my plex server and transferring files from my seedbox
Both work great with zero issues. Both in the frontroom and as no fans in them totally silent.
I was tempted to use one for emulation but don't really need anything my current rasp pi 4 can do.
HomeAssistant should works great on this device. If you have a bunch of smart devices from different brands and want to consolidate them into a single local system, give HomeAssistant a go. There should be plenty of resource left to run pihole/Adguard as well.
I'm not sure if the GPU is fast enough to run the Steam Link client, but if it does, you can hook it to your tv so you can stream your PC games into the tv when needed.
You can also hook it into a TailScale network and set it as an exit relay so you can have a VPN from your phone/laptop that redirect all internet traffics through your home network. Very useful when you want to secure your connection when using public WiFi in a hotel or cafe.
