sb arms & legsI've got an old <a href="https://metroholografix.ca/tags/cisco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cisco</a> <a href="https://metroholografix.ca/tags/ASA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ASA</a> 5512-x laying around that I figured might come in handy some day. My brother recently sent me an article to a fellow who got <a href="https://metroholografix.ca/tags/opnSense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opnSense</a> running on it, and of course I had to bite. It was almost too easy! I tracked down an ancient VGA to IDC connector, installed it on the motherboard, and then changed the BIOS around to boot from a thumbdrive. OpnSense installed without issue, and BAM I have a 7-port gigabit router with a <a href="https://metroholografix.ca/tags/xeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xeon</a> processor, 8GB of DDR3 and a 128GB SSD. I haven't tested yet, but supposedly these bad boys can push *almost* full line speed. Not too bad for free! It appears these can be had online for under $50 all day long. <a href="https://metroholografix.ca/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SelfHosting</a> <a href="https://metroholografix.ca/tags/RecycledTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RecycledTech</a> <a href="https://metroholografix.ca/tags/WasteNotWantNot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WasteNotWantNot</a> <a href="https://metroholografix.ca/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToRepair</a>
