  • Finally an application for all those theoretical seeing-through-walls attacks!

    This looks amazing, but unfortunately it’s not open source due to understandable reasons:

    A note on open source: There’s been a lot of interest in having TOMMY as an open source project, which I fully understand. I’m reluctant to open source before reaching sustainability, as I’d love to work on this full time. However, privacy is verifiable - it’s 100% local with no data collection (easily confirmed via packet sniffing or network isolation). Happy to help anyone verify this.

    I was looking for the source before I jump on setting it up but maybe I’ll have to think about network isolation before that.


  • If power consumption isn’t a huge deal, then an Intel-based Mini PC. This will allow you to do transcoding for streaming as well as any other more CPU-intensive task. It also gives you stellar USB 5Gb support which can be used for quite a large storage pool. I’m running a 5x 16TB ZFS pool on an Intel-based Lenovo mini PC. It’s in a multi-bay USB box. Unfortunately AMD’s pre-Zen 5 USB controllers aren’t reliable for this use case which is why I recommend Intel. Pre-Zen 5 AMD-based mini PCs might be OK with one disk per USB port, but as soon as you peg a USB port to its limit, you start running into USB resets.
