They’re fanless and low-power, which was the primary draw to going this route. I run a Kubernetes cluster on them, including a few personal websites (Nginx+Python+Django), PostgreSQL, Sonarr, Calibre, SSH (occasionally) and every once in a while, an OpenArena server :-)
Seven Raspberry Pi 4’s and one Pi Zero, mounted on some tile “shelves” inside some IKEA furniture.
They’re horrendous. They matched in packs through Amsterdam changing “There are no schools in Gaza” (because all the children are dead), pulled down Palestinian flags and attacked locals with metal pipes.
Cambridge checking in. It must be payback for the cows leaving their shit all over the walking path.
I just went through F-Droid and counted out all the projects I have on my phone. At £5 each I’m looking at an annual bill of about £70/year… Bargain.
Thanks for the idea!
While it’s understandable that you might think so, that’s not where this is coming from.
The white poppy comes from the UK originally where they treat Remembrance Day rather differently from the way we do. While in Canada, it’s a moment to remember the horrors of war and the millions lost when we embrace industrial scale international violence, the UK really doubles down on the whole “To Our Glorious Dead” thing. They take the day to recognise the sacrifices “for freedom” and other deeply propagandistic ideas.
So in rejection of this, the white poppy came about as a rejection of this messaging. In a way, it’s an effort to make Remembrance Day more how Canadians tend to recognise it.
If the white poppy is now appearing in Canada, it might be in answer to how the day is changing culturally.
Source: I was born and raised in Canada. My grandfather fought in our armed forces to liberate the Netherlands and we attended Remembrance Day ceremonies regularly as far back as I can remember. I emigrated to the UK when I was in my 30s, and I will not wear a poppy here. It means something very different.
Monolith has the same problem here. I think the best resolution might be some sort of browser-plugin based solution where you could say “archive this” and have it push the result somewhere.
I wonder if I could combine a dumb plugin with Monolith to do that… A weekend project perhaps.
Monolith can be particularly handy for this. I used it in a recent project to archive the outgoing links from my own site. Coincidentally, if anyone is interested in that, it’s called django-cool-urls.
I don’t know why I care so much to try to inform you when you can’t even be bothered to google israelis destroy food, but here you go:
Then there’s the case where Israel targetted and killed aid workers just trying to deliver food. Again from the BBC: Biden ‘outraged’ over Israel strike on World Central Kitchen staff in Gaza.
Not satisfied with mainstream media that’s often biased in favour of genocide? Here is video footage of Israelis straight-up destroying food destined for Gazan children.
You say you’ve “been there”. I assume you mean Israel and not Gaza. Maybe, if you’re so confident that Israel are the good guys here, you should go back and help get those aid trucks through the Israeli blockades. Maybe you should try to stop the soldiers from gunning down people trying to collect flour from the few trucks that do get through.
You might be thinking something outlandish like: “It must be Hamas. Some sort of deep-cover thing where they’re killing their own people to implicate the Most Moral Army In The World”, and honestly, if you’re that far gone, there’s no helping you. I’m not going to sit here though and let you repeat lies unchallenged. Israel has – in the words of its own ministers, besieged Gaza. It’s so bad that even Biden has demanded that they let aid trucks through.
You are misinformed. I encourage you to learn more about the country you’re defending.
You are misinformed. The food trucks are not from Israel. They are being blockaded by Israel and the food destroyed. There’s ample evidence for this. They film themselves doing it.
More of this please!
This will make rejoining the EU much more difficult.
ExFAT is good for portable devices, but if you’re working with something internally, there’s no reason not to use EXT4 or NTFS.
That’s not been my experience. Lots of drives I’ve bought have been FAT32 out of the box.
In terms of local storage, I usually have everything in ~/projects/project-name, and I don’t have tiny file size limits because I don’t use FAT32 filesystems — that’s the default filesystem you usually get on USB sticks and external hard drives you buy. You have to format those drives to something like EXT4 (Linux) or NTFS (Windows) or you get stuck with FAT32 which has 2gb file sizes.
You probably want to look into Health Checks. I believe you can tell Docker to “start service B when service A is healthy”, so you can define your health check with a script that depends on Tailscale functioning.
I’m reasonably sure that the size of the monitor doesn’t matter, but the resolution does. If you run your monitor at 720p, the performance should be the same as the Deck locally. If you try to run it at 4k (I’m not even sure how you’d convince the Deck to do that) it would decrease performance considerably.
Agreed. Especially in Canada where we have a Liberal party it’s quite annoying!
Whether you like it or not, politics is into you and directly affects your life. It’s good to learn more about it.
“Neoliberal” refers to an economic push (typically championed by right-wing parties). The short explanation is that neoliberal proponents want to strip regulation wherever they can, believing that “the market” will provide what the regulations were guaranteeing (safety, competition, etc.) organically.
An extreme example would be removing any controls on food safety. The idea is that if a company gets a reputation for producing toxic/dangerous food, the market (ie, the people buying food) will naturally avoid that company because they don’t want to get sick and that company will go out of business. That risk is what keeps them in line.
A more common example is vehicle emissions. We regulate a lot of terrible stuff out of car exhaust — lead for example — because the market refused to do it themselves.
Opponents to neoliberalism point out that:
Also, a few thousand dead kids due to some executive deciding to add arsenic to corn flakes to reduce costs is too high a price to pay for “liberalising” the economy.
Actually, as a web guy, I find the ARM architecture to be more than sufficient. Most of the stuff I build is memory heavy and CPU light, so the Pi is great for this stuff.
