| Anyone know where you can buy the hardware of this OpenStick like they did in the post? |

| https://openstick.org/ doesn't sell them directly, but has links to buy them and a lot of info. |

| I grabbed mine from AliExpress. It can be a bit of a gamble (the sellers usually don't specify the exact SOC on the description) but given the price you're not taking that much of a risk. Worst case scenario you end up with a backup 4G dongle. |

| ▲ | dataflow 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Oh I see, that sounds like a gamble. Another question if you don't mind - were you worried about security at all? Like what if there's something vulnerable (or worse, backdoored) in there? | | |
| ▲ | LaurensBER a day ago | parent [-] | | It's runs a mainline Linux kernel so it's possible to compile everything from source without any issues of you want to be absolutely sure. I haven't done so but I did asked Claude to check for anything suspicious and it did not find anything. I guess a big advantage of constrained hardware with a minimal surface is that there's not that many places to hide something. Obviously I would not recommend running this if you're in charge of Cybersecurity for Fort Knox but for a Homelab the risk seems manageable. |

| I have about 300 that I need to sell and I have some software that can run a “factory” to flash and restore your Linux distribution while preserving the IMEI. They are all the same board variant on which the SIM works and have the msm8916 chip. |

| ▲ | singpolyma3 a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | You have 300 of them and already verified them? Are you starting a store? Can I have some? | | |
