While writing about the recent Linux 7.1 release, I came across the “OneThing Edge Cube” (OEC) based on the Rockchip RK3566 SoC. I assume it may have been some type of NAS, but instead it’s a box for the OpenThingCloud decentralized bandwidth sharing solution.People purchase the OEC or OEC-Turbo device and install it at home to be part of a distributed P2P CDN (Content Delivery Network), caching data for other nodes operating nearby. As I understand it, there’s no user-facing functionality, and people install this type of hardware at home to get passive income.OneThing Edge Cube (OEC)
