So this is the Land Warrior concept that keeps going?

Part of me is annoyed that I didn’t get a Mazda 3 when I got my car back in 2023, I got a 2021 Seat Leon FR PHEV Hatchback.

I like the Leon, but it has so much touch controls.

The worst is the controls for the fog lights, heated rear window and defrost.

They are all located on a small touch panel to the right of the steering wheel, it is also angled down making it harder to see.

So if I am driving and the windows start to fog up I need to take my eyes off the road and aim my finger to touch the correct button without touching any other controls as I might be blinding other drivers.

It is a terrible design.

The AC and battery management screens are all under different submenus on the infotainment screen.

The rest of the car is great though, and so far i have not seen any ads on the screen.

I mean an island with no internet connection isn’t that expensive to him

They probably don’t, unless I got compromised and bad traffic came from their network, but I was paranoid, and wanted to avoid the possibility.

I ran a standard raspian ssh server on my home network for several years, default user was removed and my own user was in it’s place, root was configured as standard on a raspbian, my account had a complex but fairly short password, no specific keys set.

I saw constant attacks but to my knowledge, it was never breached.

I removed it when I realized that my ISP might take a dim view of running a server on their home client net that they didn’t know about, especially since it showed up on Shodan…

Don’t do what I did, secure your systems properly!

But it was kinda cool to be able to SSH from Thailand back home to Sweden and browse my NAS, it was super slow, but damn cool…

Since you have the equipment at home you can just get a power meter and measure the computer and a router to see which uses most power over two hours.

Make sure to install the baseline for the computer before the test so it is fairly representative

Before you start with this project, consider the power use of a full X86 system even at idle and compare that to a standard router.

If you are looking to run this as an access point permanently, the cost of power may add up.

I am not saying that you shouldn’t do it, but take it into account before deciding.

I didn’t realize that, and YT didn’t tell me.
