I should probably give in and get the Puli, I dislike non-replaceable batteries but I’m sure if it dies before I upgrade to 5G and give the device away I could figure out how to replace it.

The Spitz AX looks awesome for e.g. an RV base station etc, but too many antennas for travel use. I used old Spitz on Amtrak with some success. I wish they had a similar 5G unit with 2x external 5G antennas, and internal antennas only for wifi.

Maybe I will get my wish someday, GLi do like producing a variety of devices on a theme…

I have a Spitz, just don’t plan to run a VPN on the device itself as the CPU is very slow and will limit max thruput.

in the USA, LiFePO4 battery cost of drop-in 12V replacements has fallen to the point where lead-acid may no longer make sense for projects like this.

But why doesn’t it ever empty the swap space?

Why would it do anything with the swapped-out pages if they are never subsequently accessed?

Paging them back in for no reason is not an effective use of CPU time or system memory.
