I came to an agreement with my landlord in which I will be replacing his now useless telephone installation on his home (which I am inhabiting now) with wired gigabit ethernet for essentially free, that way I can have a decent home office and he gets an upgrade for less than the cost of materials.
Thing is, during the installation I found one of the secondary distribution boxes was just a lid on a hollow wall, with a shitton of room for a 5-plug gigabit ethernet and almost anything I would want to it occurred to me that I could leave there a small computer (old laptop, raspberry pi) on some ungodly corner of the wall that would give me access to that network even when I eventually leave the place in the foreseeable future.
So, what would I need (hardware and software) to have a system that can stay online for years, won't degrade over time, is accesible in one way or another even if the router is changed, and is so unlikely to crash that I would never need to visit that place ever again to "turn it on and off again"
Also, and just for fun, how illegal is this on your jurismydicktion?
