Could you build this?
No This is custom physical hardware (a 4-port USB hub with per-port power isolation and GPIO) paired with embedded firmware and kernel-level USB/IP networking.
What it would actually take: Requires custom PCB electrical engineering (power switching circuitry, USB 2.0 PHY/hub ICs, Ethernet controller, and GPIO control) and firmware (embedded Linux/OpenWrt or RTOS on an SoC). The system integrates the Linux USB/IP kernel subsystem wrapped with Tailscale VPN mesh networking and a custom remote CLI client. This demands specialized hardware design, fabrication, and low-level embedded systems engineering.
