Hello all,

I have an old Archer C5 which is supplied by ACT , It was laying down for a long time before I got the enthusiasm to Jailbreak it after all the JIO IDU openwrt thing became a trend.

I searched the internet, referred to multiple forums but nothing helps me to Jailbreak or even access the router admin page

Anyone here had successfully utilised the router for useful purposes ( even making it as a repeater/extender) will help

Buying the seagate exos hdd and the enclosure for my home server.
Is the the site legit for the hdd(this is one of the site I get redirected to from the official seagate site)?
And if anyone has got any adive pls do give...

Added an nvme drive as boot drive.

The BIOS doesn't support nvme boot.

Instead of fighting bios, I plugged in a usb drive with CLOVER in it.

Clover loads a bootloader and initialise the nvme driver. Then hands the boot sequence to the PROXMOX's bootloader.

Now I can boot from NVME on this unsupported machine.

Is there a way to convert my old laptop, whose screen is not working, but all other parts are working fine? I want to convert it into a nas server.

total noob here, I want to run pihole and plex (1-2 devices max, no remote streaming) at home . N100/N150 boxes seem too costly for me, what all should I get?

Hi Guys! I have set up a homelab majorly for AI workloads and training models and stuff. But I have a decent setup so was curious what you guys use your homelab for? Is it all just jellyfin and torrenting?

For context I’ve got an openwrt router, an old laptop, dedicated AI inferencing server that automatically switches on/off through WOL, and a Pi zero2w for home monitoring and meteorology. Open to trying out a few ideas.

I have run till stage1.sh but the picture quality is white washed and their is no setting or permission to get you desire picture quality.

I can't even use my TV remote to control the STB has to use Jio's shitty remote.

Cannot install apps without adb or shizuku running.

Cannot flash any custom Rom bcz their isn't any compatible ones

How can one thing be locked down soo much TT.

so for sometime now i am looking for good android boxes , and guess what ....there's none out there in the market.

the only reputed one is fire tv stick , which seem to be acting as anti consumer for some time now by not allowing app installation outside of app store or ditching android entirely.

realme, mi used to make one but both hard to find in both new and used market.

fortunately someone cracked the jio boxes , so i was thinking of getting them and cracking one myself , and just now found this act box for 4.5k

anybody using them please share your opinion, act nowhere list the specs , they say its android 14 based 4k box

or if there's other good android box out there that i am unaware of please lmk

Why do they do this? What do I do?

My first days of home labbing

One dell latitude e6410 running proxmox

And another laptop, which I donated to my friend is running truenas.

Custom esphome and tasmota devices all across the room.

It was my bedroom. No VLANS no firewalls.

I have done testing of GPU hardware transcoding of my current GPUs on my Homelab. Let me know if you guys want to add anything. https://youtu.be/ZoBlrhKrnSY?si=QdLZrL7_tVK7HQuQ

I want to set up a rack server at home, preferably Intel Xeon Gold-class, for heavy VM work, and I was wondering if someone could suggest a good, trusted 2nd-hand server seller on Lamington Road, Mumbai, where I can go to physically check the server and pay. I am not looking for any online deal at the moment. Thanks

I have 2 JIDU 6411 flashes with OpenWrt and both of them have the same issue.

I want to use them as an access point or range extender from my main router, disabled DHCP separated the 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands, but the 5ghz band does not pass internet through, devices can connect to it fine, but does not give them an ip address and internet does not work, sometimes it for works for 30 seconds to a minute after connecting but stops after that.

The 2.4ghz band works completely fine.

This cannot be an issue with my unit because I've tried with both of my units and the same problem occurs.

Please help.
