Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link these hobby projects, such as a router build on a Raspberry Pi CM4, and the benchmarking post on router hardware. The one comment cites the benchmark post as a source in a hardware comparison.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
A minimal, responsive, and powerful Jekyll theme for presenting professional writing.
What Hacker News says?
While neat, I'm not sure why should get this over a NanoPi R4S[1] if it's a router I'm after. The R4S is quite capable[2] and at $65 for the 4GB model, significantly cheaper than this board plus a CM4 module even at pre-chip shortage prices. Sure this has HDMI output and more GPIO, but still.
