It was :(

My pi 4 is right on the cusp. 3 B+ was the best when it came to no dongles and power. Now its taking about the same power as a mini PC and you have to by the enclosure, fans/heatsink/dongles/etc…etc… I suppose you can still buy the old pis but man I miss when that was the form factor they were going for.

I bring over my 3/4 for hacking projects all the time. But I cant justify the 5 without looking at getting a mini pc for 10$ more and it comes with a hard drive ment to last longer than an SD.

I have a meshtastic script that runs once a day that sends a weather report for our local area at 6:00 am. It was based off a script that some awesome person did. I also have a script that once a week sends out ham/meshtastic events to all local people. Its worked out pretty well.

Its hitting a lot of people that were relying on the sale of their solar in order to offset their loans for the systems.

You cant legally disconnect a residential residence in CA from the grid unless you get some HEAVY permits. Thats one of the reasons PGE introduced the minimum fee, people with solar. Some people were making a profit pushing electricity into the grid so they make it 0.03c per kwh credit instead of wholesale.

Half the houses over here have solar now when you drive down the street. Im thinking of getting it too.

We have higher market share 4%+. Thats the biggest one for me. We were at 3% earlier in the year.

He does bug me in his coverage in “problems” he says linux has in other videos, but he does research quite a it. So better than most. Like I love my steamdeck and linux support…

Yep. And they are talking about more increases this year.

Ive hosted on a variety of platforms (docker in house and cloud) I find yunohost the easiest. Theres a nextcloud package that just…installs at a click of a button. And the scripts are all there open source so you know what your getting.

Unfortunately its still all in one “container” in that its all on one machine. So it might not be what your looking for. Ive ran my nextcloud for a number of years now and the stability of yunohost has been great for me.

Whats the best phone one can buy for postmarketos?

Yep its one of the bigger issues. I wanted to get a uconsole, but ive heard the support is not the greatest. And the wait times are horrendous for the hardware.

I have 2 terabyte hard drives that get backed up when I remember.

I like the form factor, but seeing the issues with supply on hackberrypi and uconsole, im hoping they dont have the same issue. Lots of people like that form factor (including myself).

Sometimes a small python script that is readable is better for long term support.

She does a great job. Im trying to add in a couple of her videos when I see them into the different communities. I usually go to awk to be honest, so I completely blanked on columns. I knew it existed from like 10 years ago, but forgot what I can use it for. I learned something form this video :)

We need more entertaining Linux/open source people.

Love the site! My favorite so far: https://sdomi.pl/weblog/17-building-a-luggable-for-no-reason/

Nice.

Heh yeah same. Add in a couple of old pis and that is my “infrastructure”.

Yunohost + freshrss is an amazing combo.

Want to switch?

I wish that was ours…

Yep. And they are talking about a couple more price hikes next year. Significant ones.
