Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Me: “fucking tariffs. I’ll never an Orion O6 now. Oh well.” Amazon: “hey, we have a close enough knockoff from orange pi now. It’s cheaper, uses almost exactly the same chip, and available in the US right now.”
-glares- God fucking damnit!
So uh, what's the use case for this thing? Why do I-.. er.. why would someone want one?
Asking for a friend...
I want to redo my homelab setup. I’m probably going to relent and go x86 just because parts availability sucks here but those boards have low power draw, decent IO, small so you can design your own case easier, and I like the idea of keeping away from x86 if I can.
This thing is gonna run routing traffic and downloading shit and hosting my media etc. that means it’s ideal most of the time so low power draw matters more than a gaming pc would.
I’m also hesitant to use x86 chips for anything directly exposed to LAN. The backdoors in those things are crazy and I am just not skilled enough to do much about them.
