Hey all, I’m looking to build a couple dashboards out around my house. I’ve done this before with rokchip boards and they are… fine, but not great. Is rpi the best option right now? Are there alternatives you really like? I’d like to keep it a single board to easily mount behind things where it doesn’t take up a lot of...
For projects, yes… most of the things I want to build don’t need to go fast, so the pi zero is amazing and so so small. If you are just talking little cheap computer to stash somewhere, then no. I do think it would be neat if someone made a SBC N100 in the “credit card” size.
I actually moved everything to docker containers at home… Not an apples to apples, but I don’t need so many full OSs it turns out.
At work we have a mix of things running right now to see. I don’t think we’ll land on ovirt or openstack. It seems like we’ll bite the cost bullet and move all the important services to amazon.
Investment… It’s a bit too simple to just say money, but investment wraps it up better. Chips may not be open source, but they are physically there to be taken apart and reproduced. That’s what a lot of those Chinese knockoff chips are (baring the ones where the designs are outright stolen). The only thing that stops you from doing the same thing as those bootleg fabs is being willing to soak time and resources into the project. It’s just a big project. Like a Bloomfield i7 (which is old and fairly large) has 731 million transistors in it…
If it really bothers you, I think you could set up authentik (or some other idp) and point all your login needs at it… Though, it’s not going to make things easier for you, just the opposite. Probably a good learning experience though.
A donkey cart carrying a suspected improvised bomb blew up at a checkpoint on the Kenya-Somalia border Thursday, killing one Kenyan police officer and critically wounding four others, authorities said....
It is. Though they clearly had to set up the bomb to save the donkey. Which is good I suppose, but man I have a hard time following that thought process.
Graphyte, a new company incubated by Bill Gates’s investment group Breakthrough Energy Ventures, announced Monday that it has created a method for turning bits of wood chips and rice hulls into low-cost, dehydrated chunks of plant matter. Those blocks of carbon-laden plant matter — which look a bit like shoe-box sized Lego...
Sounds like the blocks are sealed to stop decomposition… so I guess the bricks would rot if the seal is compromised? That wouldn’t be good for a building. And it would let the carbon out.
I’m on my phone, but it looks like the brick is entirely gone, not painted? If that’s the case, it may have been a facade with rot behind it. Happened to on of our neighbors. They ultimately decided to add their brick back, but it cost as much as your would think building the front of a brick house would cost…
I can’t find an active thinkpad centric community on here I am just going to post here. My Thinkpad T480s, 16 GB RAM, 238 GB SSD is randomly shutting off while at like 50%. When I try to open it back up it always is dead and I have to connect charger to boot it up again. Why is this happening? Is it battery issue? It complains...
It sounds like you have sensor issues. It’s not reading the battery level correctly. You can either remember to start looking for the charger at 60% or look into calibrating the battery sensor or reconfigure your sensors in general. How to do #2 is going to depend on your distro.
I have young kids and I feel like I’ve pretty much become isolated from my friends. The ones that have kids live out of state. My best friends don’t have kids so they usually come to me, but they also have their own lives so I don’t want to bother them. And I can’t really do my hobbies. I knew it would be hard with young...
I won’t say I have a solution for you, but I can at least offer solidarity. It’s been lonely for me too and it’s a good year if I see friends more than a few times… I will say, try to stay healthy for yourself. You may hit some low times, plan ahead, and make decisions you won’t regret. And remember that you are in a marathon, this is going to take a while, pace yourself.
