I've bought $10 Igel thin client with some quadcore AMD shitcessor. It runs very snappy, even transcodes (that is not snappy), but as I never need to transcode, it works very well for me. I've mounted my TV and Movie & music colections from my NAS with CIFS and it works very well.
I'm running AdGuard home (at home on $10 x86 thin client) and simply opened ports on my router and pointed my domain to the ip. Worked like a charm. Then my ISP added me CGNAT, so I've added free VPS doing wireguard tunnel home, so everything works fine. I run AdGuard with Let's encrypt certificates, so I use the private DNS setting in Android directly with my domain.
I'm running my home net on an unlimited 4G LTE connection.
My Xiaomi 12 has 8GB. Those bastards close any 3rd open app in the background. Sometimes even the second back in line when switching apps. MIUI is pure shit.
Yeees! Edge goes first, followed by Bing
