Seeed meshtastic tracker card. The general purpose version uses more battery than I’d like but you can get one that only does tracking or turn off most of features to get more than a few days of life.
It only works if you have some other meshtastic nodes around, but it doesn’t need to be a lot and it’s getting to be more popular.
Reolink might be another to consider.
OpenVAS is a vulnerability scanner that appears to be open source.
Metasploit is another that I think is free and might be open source.
True but it’s designed to be on networks that don’t have internet.
Tplink Omada doesn’t need a cloud connection. There’s plenty of other reasons to not like Omada but it’s something to consider. It’s also dirt cheap.
If any service has only username and password instead of mfa or password less then it’s not safe.
You also didn’t mention if you have automated patching or immutable backups enabled.
Even large streaming services drop their servers close to the users to make the experience good. They just do better at scaling.
You could federated authentication so only one ldap service is maintained. You could also sync media from one device to the other so you don’t need to manually update both.
Not just any user, but people in Asia. Seems very targeted.
The issue was they weren’t validating the update pulled down from the hacked update hosting server was legit.
They’ve since switched hosting services and added validation.
Wait Cuba is a threat? Is it from the decades of economic depression enforced by the US?
Can’t read this wall of text
Desktop streaming isn’t the same as web apps.
Modern desktop streaming is quite impressive. 100ms, 5% loss is no problem for most tasks. You don’t even notice it, and as a result your experience can sometimes be better.
Additionally you can offload some tasks to the local machine where appropriate.
You dont need to fit every users needs into a thin client setup, but you could fit probably 50% of all users onto one and they wouldn’t know any different. Think of the energy savings. Think of all that plastic that goes into a desktop or laptop that isn’t needed in a virtualized blade chassis. Think of the rolling performance upgrades. Think of never having your hardware go End of Support. Think of the old equipment that ends up properly e-wasted instead of shoved into a dump. Think of the batteries that no longer need to get produced.
I might play around with this idea and host my own non-profit Desktop as a Service.
I’ll repeat what I said elsewhere:
Renting PCs is probably overall cheaper and a lot better for the environment. Most people don’t need a machine, they just need a thin client and something to access a few apps maybe 30 mins a day.
Even “power users” don’t need a machine.
If there were a non-profit or not-for-profit that was selling maybe an rpi we’d be saving a lot of money and reducing climate harm.
I just don’t trust bezos to not be greedy.
Run windows in a vm for work.
This plugged into a raspberry pi would be a cheap alternative to a true kvm appliance.

You don’t need a kvm for 5 systems, just one for the machine that doesn’t have vpro.
Vpro is really only needed to get you into your bios or fix an issue where you disabled network somehow.
You could buy a standalone kvm. I think there’s one that uses a raspberry pi.
Or you could set up vnc or something similar on your host if you need a gui.
I would put vpro as a nice to have but not essential component option.
Non-vpro with amt will still get you to the pre-os screen I think.
Your files aren’t in the same path as they were before. Sometimes happens with external drives. Either fix that or update your config to point to the new path.
It’s not clear what paid licensing gets you. What’s an Enterprise OS for example?
You should buy both. Don’t mess around with VIP UAT.
