It can also connect to other devices that do have WiFi connection via Bluetooth, best thing you can do is remove the antenna (writing this down, it makes sense the remote control that has Bluetooth and a mic will do it too)

They have a pretty similar custom there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muisjes#Beschuit_met_muisjes%3Fwprov=sfla1

Thanks a lot! I was thinking the old laptop would be more powerful, but an extra card to pci-e and sata interface is worse from a reliability standpoint. I’ll go check out the selfhosting communities :)

This may be a good place to ask for advice, since I’m new to running a server myself and am now looking to set one up with old hardware I have lying around. I have a raspberry pi 5 lying around and an x230 laptop + an expresscard to pci-e x16 converter (I used it to run games with a GPU), which of these would be more worth it to invest in? I would like to run a file server with some hdd’s in raid 5, and use it to stream media and maybe run a Minecraft server. I would need a pi sata hat or a pci-e sata card.

Does it run on electricity or do you have to throw coal in it somewhere?
