Lol
guise
got 50$ to spend on hardware or else it burns
what buy
ram or rpi3
or ssd
got a dozen of PIs, ssd and ram is fine
sorry for being conventional
something creative pls
wanna have fun
tf
that cream for real?
have you done programmable logic
maybe some beginner fpga board
as in programming hardware?
"yes", in Verilog or VHDL (preferably the former)
and it'll arrive in a month
if you're a student you can get them on discount
but it's not exactly like a "load a bunch of cool software and do rando stuff easily" deal like a rpi
any starter kits you know of?
Never done things like that
speaking of which, I claimed my AWS one year free tier and idk what to do with it
run an irc server
sounds fine
that one is pretty good; it's not autist approved since it strays away from oldschool codebases but imho that's part of the charm
tN.micros on aws can get throttled if you use up too many cycles so stuff like web and irc are good
don't, don't compile stuff
if you wanna learn things, an openvpn server is fine too, but watch out for bandwidth usage on the free tier
the openvpn server is pretty easy to set up; the hard part is learning to finesse around openssl commands, and that's kind of worth it
I just normally use sshuttle for my vpn purposes
also got lifetime subs to a couple of real vpn providers
great
the real good of an aws dev account is learning the aws ecosystem
i heard that you need to sell yourself to pay for it all
the more you think of it as another VPS the worst off you are and you don't gain from their service abstractions
