    25-30k Recommend android phone under 30k, thanks

    I got the S21 FE for 30K after card discounts few days back. Look out for offers in Flipkart You will need to spend 1.2K for charger as it comes without one. No 3.5mm headphone output, so will need an adapter for that as well

    Any cheap pfsense box in india

    The cheapest option would be to get a used thin client like HP T620 with single NIC and use a managed switch (VLANs). This kind of an arrangement will be fine as long as you dont need gigabit speeds

    Isn't it unfortunate that the home music systems are totally gone and......

    Spend most of the money on the speakers, they matter the most. You will get nice entry level passive bookshelf speakers in 20-35K range. You will need an amplifier to power them If you do not want the complications of amplifiers, look for Active speakers, however limits your flexibility for...

    TP-Link Archer C60 OpenWRT review.

    thinvent Micro 5 Thin Clien, anyone own this ?

    By the specifications, going for a Pi4 would be a better idea, even if it is slightly more expensive. Better still, get a 3-4 generations lower i3 and it would be miles ahead of an Rpi4 and it will run all your home lab stuff in docker / LXC
