It's just like the indoor farm factory things, eventually everyone realises it's too expensive

Cost of car + remote driver infrastructure + remote driver (minimum) wage will be much higher than simpler car + local driver

Banana Pi BPI-R3. There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, or search the related logs, but you do not have permission to create this page.

Er... thanks?

In other articles, I'm reading that Banana Pi quality control isn't that great, so I'm currently feeling that this might not be boards I am looking for

I'd like to replace my router as it's only acting as a PPPoE modem for my pfSense box - this looks a bit of overkill, but interested if there's other (open) options?

This. I sync my (markdown) notes between Linux, Windows and Android devices, edit on either device , or even manually manipulate the text files, and all is well.

I know it's been a while, but I recently saw an article where tuxedo create their own firmware, so you might need to look into that.

The article is all about a GPL license problems tuxedo were facing because they create their own firmware using a a different license - not sure how thatls affects you, but that might be the root issue

Hmm, I'll check that out... I've avoided rooting due to a botched cyanogenmod conversion (my fault not theirs) back in the day...

For which shell? I just tried that on a bash system and the command was still stored in .bash_history 😔

That's a good point actually.

If I could self-host a server that my devices were authenticated with and constantly backing up to (and geo-tracking), then that would be useful.

Currently I have syncthing and no authentication with anyone/thing else.

“Easier“, no. Not for the average person on the street.

Don't get me wrong, I've built several NAS over the years (dropped OMV for just Arch and the packages I want) and loaded OpenWRT (etc) on routers

But, building my own NAS, servicing my own car, repairing my own house, felling my own trees, at some point I'll just lack knowledge and buy something simple / pay someone to do it... and that's where cheap consumer electronics fits (unfortunately)

Just on your Enlightenment point there, I tried Bodhi Linux a few years ago because the Enlightenment desktop looked really good, but over time they (Bodhi) had to create their own desktop because Enlightenment appeared to have almost stopped work.

Might be something for you to check out...?

I love to see professionals in action.

That's craft(wo)manship right there.

Ah, good call on using the power to get the tablet to respond... I don't have that problem (tablet freezing), but it does drop off the wifi sometimes.

It's just not quite yellow enough, esp. on 1 side where's it's been too close to a window... otherwise, yeah, bring back beige

Just a casual bystander with no clue what's going on... why's change.org a problem?

Edit: ok, read more posts, understand now

I've done similar with an old Android tablet. Installed Fully Kiosk Browser to display the dashboard AND read the battery level - above 75%, switch off power...

But... automations only trigger when going past the threshold once, so if there's a random issue where HA doesn't see the battery drop below 10%, (had that happen a few times in the past), then I also have multiple triggers for 5% and 2%... to turn the power back on again 😉

But the U.S. government’s moves to crack down on cheap e-commerce parcels from China have pushed sellers to rethink their business strategies.

So, there's the problem then. If they made it all more expensive for the American consumer, then that solves the problem. /s

On a serious note: it's obviously cheaper because there's no physical shop with no staff. Isn't this how Bezos started out, from a garage?

It's so sad when we all find these critical components are maintained by someone we'd just pass in the street... and then they're gone.

Lovely to see the contributions on ko-fi

But, surely Windows is the wrong OS?

Windows is a per-user GUI... supercomputing is all about crunching numbers, isn't it?

I can understand M$ trying to get into this market and I know Windows server can be used to run stuff, but again, you don't need a GUI on each node a supercomputer they'd be better off with DOS...?

Wha?

(searches interwebs)

Wow, that completely passed me by...

I think you've missed the point.

Yes, they're looking to continue selling older titles and your point is that pirating / torrenting is free, but GoG are ensuring the game will actually run on a modern machine - the pirated ones will have problems (not even covering the potential malware ridden ones)

I've been there, done it, got the t-shirt, the t-shirt faded, got ripped and is now a rag somewhere... this is a good move by GoG.
