     @izzy yes optiplexes (libreboot). i put some realtek ethernet card i bought in the m2 wifi slot. it's on a little ribbon at the back, going to the m2 slot.

     this photo shows the same sort of thing, but on a lenovo thinkcentre m920q - which i failed again tonight to get working on libreboot yet.

     the wifi one (3rd pic) will be used at home for a wifi->ethernet bridge setup cuz no ethernet at home

     gonna do some new tunnel routing setups and i'm experimenting with it on the optiplexes this weekend

     @libreleah optiplex micros detected
     
     is that second ethernet interface an official addon or is the hot glue suggesting something aftermarket?

     @libreleah I'm going to need to investigate this ... I've gotten some optiplex micros that I don't actually know what to do with yet, using them as tiny proxmox hosts running a routing VM with two NICs would actually be really sweet

     @kaia because the screws don't anchor anything. but there would be bigger holes otherwise. the glue (2-part epoxy) stops the port from moving!
