Was thinking the same thing. Will get some veterans out of this that will be able to pass down new/different tactics and strategies.

I don’t keep pictures like that on me, and I don’t feel like doing a google search for you. Travel blue ridge parkway or skyline drive, or any back road in the Appalachians and you will see what happens when a ten point meets metal.

I don’t see why extreme wealth isn’t classified as a mental illness like hoarding.

Would continually run into disconnect issues with Ubuntu and Debian with all my Bluetooth devices. Got tired of tinkering with it.

You have to know what the question is first

Honestly, I’m surprised the car was still in one piece. I’ve seen semi-trucks disintegrate after hitting a dear.

I gave up on Bluetooth and Linux, made sure the wireless peripherals I wanted had 2.4ghz dongles. Been using Logitech 2.4ghz lightspeed for a while. Dongle is plugged into a hub mounted under the desk. Use piper to get all my Logitech mouse features. No complaints.

I did this a few years ago with a stack of pi 4s connected to a four port PoE switch. One was an openWRT router, one was a plex server connected to some spinning discs via usb, and I had another you could plug an hdmi cable into and use to view the media. I eventually found out I could host the whole thing on a single pi, but it was still a fun project. Could probably do it all on a pi 5 with an nvme hat no problem. Might look into that when I get the spare tinkering money.

Not quite. You need to run a cable from a PoE(power over Ethernet) port on a capable switch to each pie. You just need power to the switch and the switch will power all the pis through their own individual cable. You are only limited to the power supply on the switch you use.

If your main goal is a monero node/mining, start with AMD 3000 series processors, 3700x is a good place to start, and build a used system. If it’s just a node, any SoC will work with enough storage. A few months of a VPS could cost the same as buying your own hardware, that and you own the hardware and data instead of some corporation.

Everything runs in a docker container, so you will probably want to wrap your head around that first thing. Most people start with portainer or dockge for easy docker management and learning with a gui, although learning everything through the command line has its merits as well.

I would get a raspberry pi or an old NUC and just dive right into figuring out how to run the monero node. I believe the monero project maintains docker images. The monero communities are super helpful and nice, and so are the self hosted communities, if you hit a snag or don’t understand something.

Allows me to run my pis in my rack with only one cable for network and power. It’s how I run all my SoCs, I hate cable management, so I reduce cables as much as possible.

I know there are third party solutions, just waiting for what they said would be coming soon when they announced the pi 5. That was almost a year ago now, right?

Power over Ethernet? Anyone else waiting for this?

Jump ship. Just know, windows will pull you back in, especially if you work in corporate/office work. I was doing my work from home on Linux for two years straight, then my work mandated windows 11 for everyone. It’s been a nightmare. I just want my xfce!

Deathlock?

omg, there goes another 2000 hours of my life

This happened with satisfactory for me. By the time it hit 1.0 and my friends had bought it, I already had 1500 hours in it. I’m sure I’ll come back to it in a few years, like factorio, but it still sucks I can’t enjoy it with my friends.
