Jfc that Arduino terms update is disgusting

Guess I’ll be getting around to starting my own pihole after all

Standalone cosmos installation is now recommended instead of the docker container. It’s technically still beta, but I’ve been running it since February and very happy with it. The dev has indicated updates will focus on the standalone installation going forward.

I have found it’s made everything vastly easier for me - the marketplace, integrated reverse proxy and URL manager mean you can literally spin many services up with a single click. Yet it has sub-menus for docker env and compose data that allow you to dig deeper into how the containers work if you’re interested in it.

In terms of the tinyminimicro’s I think i5-6500T 7500T or 8500T (T signifies 35w TDP) could all fit your price point depending on RAM/SSD specs. I haven’t done much research on the n100 processors but I think they are broadly comparable to the above i5’s

While I get leaning towards AMD products, I’ve been doing so as well, when I built my first server with a Ryzen 5 2400GE I have found that there just isn’t as much resources/support for enabling transcoding with the vega 11 in Jellyfin or Immich. Most Intel iGPU’s have a hardware chip specifically tuned for transcoding called quicksync that you should strongly consider.

Especially in the $100-200 price range tiny mini micro’s from HP/Lenovo/Dell are widely available and offer lots of capability in a power-efficient (~10-15w idle, 40-50w full load) and easily maintainable form factor. The Lenovo’s in particular are interesting due to a few models having full pci-e slots if you decide later you want a GPU.

Finally for software I would suggest looking into Cosmos Cloud, I use it and have found it made it so much easier to setup and manage all my docker containers and domain name/reverse proxy settings.

For the record, pre-merger Boeing pulled the same crap with their rudder hardcover crashes in the early 90’s. Everything from telling NTSB to blame the wrong piece of equipment to blaming the pilots, even to stealing evidence.

I’m sorry, bike lanes piss you off?

Funny that decades of the GOP sabotaging progress on renewable energy like solar and wind, and torpedoing research into modernizing the power grid - specifically because it would make deploying renewable easier, will end up helping to hand the lead of possibly the most consequential industry of the 21st century over to China.

The meme in the article cracked me up fwiw

I haven’t used any but have researched it some:
Minisforum DEG1 looks like the most polished option, but you’d have to add an m.2 to oculink adapter and cable.
ADT-Link makes a wide variety of kits as well with varying pcie gen and varying included equipment.

Homebox has this capability too, you can generate QR codes for assets and scan it later to identify whatever’s inside.

https://a.co/d/hh2N98y Something as simple as that, though I’m not sure 5v/3a is enough for a pi5 you’d have to check power specs

I would especially advise against relying on battery banks due to the heat, if you’re just going to use it in the car and already going to the trouble of customizing so much hardware I’d find a way to run a power supply off a switched 12v fuse or wire from the car - just convert to 5v/USB power. I’m sure there are generic kits online

My first time I started winging it with a raspberry pi, docker, and nginx and it took me like 2 months to get one service up and running and I didn’t feel it was very secure - fail2ban didn’t work, geoblocking didn’t work, and updates were manual.

When I re-started from scratch with an x86 device and cosmos it has been shockingly easy in comparison. Not only is it much quicker to spool the service up (app store), they can be automatically updated, the proxy has options for geoblocking, rate limiting, etc.

I’ve even got some of the services below built from a custom compose file instead of the app store, some use remote storage and some are set up with OAuth SSO. There’s still mild troubleshooting for a lot of things but it’s been much easier for me to understand and fix issues, plus there’s an active discord community as well.

I’m all in on Cosmos Cloud, been very happy with it

"At the extremes, a vegan cyclist will produce only 5% of the emissions a conventional pickup truck will produce, while a meat-loving cyclist will actually produce 42% more GHGs than the most efficient EV. " http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2022/ph240/schutt2/

I’m sure the exact numbers are a little open to interpretation but I’ve seen it mentioned more than once in different places. That said, I absolutely try to commute on my ebike as much as possible

Definitely a ton if variability in what you’d actually put out depending on bike type, speeds, diet etc

Paradoxically there are actually some indications that the calories burned while bicycling, especially from a meat-heavy diet, lead to more carbon emissions per mile than powering an electric car with anything other than coal. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1108357_electric-cars-vs-bicycles-which-has-a-higher-carbon-footprint There are still a wide variety of societal benefits to more bicycling but it’s not quite accurate say “zero” impact I think.

Same here lol, it’s been so long that I don’t think I can even take delivery of a 2 seater anymore due to family size changes

I only have my one anecdote to go off of, but if you are located in the US eBay is full of enterprise computer reseller postings and mine arrived in very clean condition. And eBay generally has pretty strong buyer protections.
