Looking to sell an old Apple iMac 27". The thought crossed my mind to convert this thing to a standalone monitor, but I just don't have the time and desire for a project like that right now.

Looking for matching 2x16GB of DDR4 2666mhz or faster laptop RAM for a Dell Optiplex Micro 5070.
For trade, I have LOTS of ECC DDR3 in various sizes up to and include 16GB DIMM's. Going to go look for any other items I may have for possible trade also.
I need to replace my dads aging Apple Airport Extreme with something new. It's been unsupported for years now, and the only reason why I haven't done anything sooner is because it's sits behind his ISP's gateway and I've just been dealing with double-NAT until now. Now that I have the time to...
I've been kicking around the idea of picking up an Oculus Quest 2 and dabbling in VR gaming a little bit. I almost exclusively play racing games; iRacing, Assetto Corsa, BeamNG. Gaming at 1080P currently. I'm curious how my current system (see signature) would handle gaming with a VR headset.
New Raspberry Pi's are finally coming!
I'm really looking forward to this one. I completely skipped the Pi4's, and the few systems I have running on Pi3's are in desperate need of a refresh.

Back in 2016, I built a personal/gaming PC with some scraps that I got from work.

I've been a big fan of these little PCEngines APU boards for a while now. Sad to see that they're finally going end-of-life. I was running an APU2 for a long time as my home firewall.

I recently upgraded from 400mbit to 800mbit on my xfinity service and it looks like my tried and true Arris SB6183 is finally in need of an upgrade to take advantage of the new speed. Does anyone have any good recommendations for a replacement modem?
I'm looking for a straight modem, no...

Does anyone know of any other server software that I could use to replace this functionality?
Does anyone know how to convert an OpenSSH public host key to OpenSSL PEM format?
I have an application that is trying to do host key validation and it will only accept keys in OpenSSL PEM format, even for OpenSSH connections.
So I've always entertained the idea of building a cluster with Raspberry Pi to tinker around with distributed computing, but I've never been able to figure out something to actually do with the cluster. So I'm looking for ideas of what to do with a cluster of Rasperry Pi's. Don't really know...
My parents upgraded to an iPad Pro and no longer need their old iPad 2. It's a black 16GB model, with Verizon cellular. It is in great condition but does have one small bright spot on the display. It came from Apple like this and my parents never thought to have it replaced when it was under...

My parents are in need of a new iPad. Their venerable iPad 2 is end-of-life'd by Apple, the battery is pretty bad, and a bunch of apps they use have been updated and don't run well on iOS 9.
My initial thought was to just get them a base model iPad Air 2. But I'm a little worried that it...
