  • Someone else with an Illinois licence could probably use that to estimate how long their address that ends with "e Ave" is and narrow it down to fewer than 8 east-west streets in this town of around 12,000.

  • Yeah that's basically it for me. I have a collection of dev boards, old hardware and stuff other people were tossing out set up for a variety of purposes (Kubernetes clusters, two build farms, network boot, etc.). None of it is because I feel I "need" any of that for self hosting. In practice two old desktops with a bunch of drives would be perfectly capable of providing everything I need including redundancy. I have all that stuff because I'm learning and experimenting.

  • The SOC uses U-Boot to boot. The Imagination GPU is more of a problem, but there's work underway to get an open source driver fully working. I've got my own kernel and mesa running on multiple dev boards and, while I can't run a full desktop with mesa on that PowerVR driver yet, I have been able to render some basic things with it. I can, however, install a 6.6 kernel and some userspace binaries to get full acceleration ITMT.

    This isn't really ready for standard consumer use anyway. The point of this is basically as a glorified developer board, which was exactly what I bought it for.

  • The native performance of this board is similar to a Raspberry Pi 3. With Box64 it'll be significantly worse.

    There's quite a push behind RISC-V now, in part because China seems to like the idea of not being tied to American or British companies for their CPU architecture. We'll see whether it actually pass out or not.
