Comment on My Dream of a Home Router / Server

You can do all that and more with an off-the-shelf mini PC running Linux. No need to reinvent a general purpose computer from a router. The chain of trust thing is above my paygrade, but I bet something like that exists.

@lemmefixdat4u Oh yeah .. Indeed the #minipc form factor is definately driving this (along with the Router forum factor devices based on #ARM) - Of course the form factor is kind of irrelevant - I think the key is that its something that you can replace your ISP provided router with - Giving it direct internet connection. All the building blocks seem to be there but maybe just aren't quite there yet. #homeassistant are definately doing things on the #homeautomation device - linking software and hardware, so are #Openwrt with #OpenwrtOne - but the three spheres - Home Automation, Router and Home Server don't seem to have come together completely yet.
