- DaSHacka 23d agoBut why a Mac mini over a $30 raspberry pi on the same residential connection?
- frollogaston 23d agoGuess cause it'll still do local builds and stuff, and probably do a lot more of those if the agents are spamming builds and it's something like Swift or Rust that takes a lot to compile
- kennywinker 22d agoSo a $100 optiplex?
- kennywinker 22d agoTailscale the vps into your home network, and have it use that as an exit node.
- o_m 22d agoThe bot blocking services are more advanced than that. They will do stuff like checking how your fonts are rendered in a canvas element to determine your browser and OS. A stock mac circumvent all that by hiding in plain sight.
