I also have two Odroids (the U2 model) and agree that they are excellent. They are reliable (often get >100 days uptime between reboots for upgrades, and have had no problems over 2+ years), they run ubuntu (server), they idle at extremely low power/heat (2 cores powered, at 200MHz), but using the ondemand governor they scale up for higher workloads (4 cores powered, at 1700MHz). It's too bad that the U2/U3 is no longer manufactured (due to supply issues).

"What's up-board?"

"Eh, not much, yeah I'm kinda bored."

But you probably don't want to go there (https://map.what3words.com/cool.beans.dude).

The Luddites will be just fine in these hotels of which you speak, readng their paperback novels and engaging in other analog activities.

Did you miss the Roland Hedley reference? Wooooooooosh.

Somehow, I just cannot hear Mr. Heston using the passive voice to say that.

The "pro" model is a bit expensive ($220 or so, plus shipping), but it has 2xGbE, wifi, bt, quad ARM.

Or you could just add a USB network interface to something like Odroid U3: http://hardkernel.com/main/pro....

(I have both of above.)

Nice, but too many dependencies for my taste...

Not just basic monitoring, you can send signals, pin processes to cpus, use strace.

I do wish it were extensible (for example, to add a temperature monitor).

sudo chrage -10 angryuser

It could save the Internets!

Also, no sandworms!

Twasn't an apostrophe, ye dog. It be the stray mark of a sharp cutlass.

Nope. Eddies in the space-time continuum. ("And this is his sofa, is it?")

This is how they protect that.
