You can absolutely install a raspberry on a USB stick/SSD? I do it all the time?

Yeah, a proper solar setup would absolutely work - I did something similar with a Pi zero 2w and Motion OS. Actually Pi’s are fairly nice webcams for some speciality applications - e.g. when you want to use multiple cameras from the same device, need special cameras or want something done appliance-sided. And the form factor is decent with the RPI02w.
I intentionally didn’t use a solar panel as the main power source, but used a regular large USB battery with an analog timer/clock that simply powered the pi on for 20min a day and gave it enough time to take the picture and mail it to me. (I had WiFi at the site)
The solar panel was only an add-on to increase the time the battery lasted but it worked pretty well during the summer months. During winter it didn’t do too much, but that’s okay - I still got two weeks out of the USB battery which was pretty comfortable. I simply replaced the battery on the days I was on-site and never had a problem.
I now power a Lora to NB-IOT gateway with a complete solar kit, though with one of these camping kits that provide 60w and charge a battery. The NB IOT gateway takes 12w max(4w on average)so it is more than enough to both charge the battery and run the gateway even on cloudier winter days. But this project is in a pretty sunny spot and it’s placed outside - I would highly discourage you to use one of these in your friends house - the first set I had almost caught fire. No biggie in that location, huge problem if it is your friends home.
PS: Do you have a chance to use PoE maybe?
Stay away from the combo units. They are shit. And the reduced throughput is a major issue.
A tower design has to have the washer below the dryer, as the washer is creating more vibrations and simply weighs more.
Not all manufacturers allow a dryer to be placed upon their washers and not all washers have a big enough top.
Some (Bosch-Siemens-Appliances does i.e.) do offer specialised “tops” that you can use and that are working quite well. (Example
Personally I would put another lashing strap around the combination, though,just to be extra safe, especially if you have children or pets.
Other than that the combination works without a problem,we have been using that for around 15 years by now, only interrupted by our experiments with combo machines.
The combo units are shit. Believe me,I tried.
Efficiency sucks, you can often dry less than you can wash. And especially if you have larger amounts to wash/dry you can only have half the throughput.
And according to a few customer protection/test organisations they seem to be less reliable as well.
Still waiting for it to get better ten years later.
And yes,I had world class treatment with no financial limits.
Or pirate radio it and make people think it’s a new number station. Then someone will surely put it on YouTube so you can listen to it there.
Mullvad until you are often in the PCR, there I had a much better experience with ExpressVPN compared to basically everyone else.
If you need a lot of exit nodes in different countries Proton or Pure, but I grow increasingly wary of Proton these days and Pure is getting more and more enshitified these days.
So I simply use Mullvad for privacy and my own WG service for security.
I must actually revoke my statement,it seems like it is now being revived and is developed again, at a much slower pace,though.
But much better than nothing and at least security updates seem to be working.
Sorry for the misinformation, my bad, the different sources are quite misleading sometimes.
And sadly MeshCentral is pretty much death development wise, isn’t it? The main dev left Intel and now has not enough time for the project, wasn’t that the story?
Edit: it seems to be developed again, much slower,though. But better than nothing.
OF was generally a masterpiece that nowadays is often forgotten.
The massive conquer the island battles alone, often taking more than 12,sometimes more than 24h were epic for the time.
You can, without much work actually, remove the brain through the cervical hole (the hole the spine is “connected” to)
And this ladies and gentlemen is what is wrong with Linux and its communities.
Technological gatekeeping is THE major problem in the Linux world. You use Linux to use Linux. You intentionally do not want people that you consider “below” you to use Linux or even be present in your communities.
Most people use computers to get something done. Be it development, gaming, consuming multimedia, or just “web browsing” (which you intentionally use to degrade people “just” doing that). They do not use computers to use computers. They don’t need to and should need to. If you want to do this, good for you.
But stop trying to gatekeep people out of it. That’s just an a****** behaviour.
Cloudron is also an option. More polished than Yunohost, created by a German company. Very low rate of admin interaction required. But not for free if you need more than two Apps.
The funny thing is: This is very likely just a VOC detector with a fancy API. I can’t imagine that they spent too much on actual hardware development, especially as they are afaik not a real hardware company.
So it will be triggered by VOC.
You know what else does cause a lot of VOC to be distributed in a environment?
Yeah. Taking a proper shit.
This has very likely never been tested on an actual toilet.
Neither of it - but part of my work is indeed similar to an analyst, for a different topic, though. Thanks, anyway.
Bring neighbours together. One step at a time.
The problem with a lot of small projects in towns is that they cater to a certain crowd - but there are often not enough people to sustain that momentum for a longer period of time. And it’s sometimes used to keep people away. (Aka the soccer fans go to their club, the old folks to bingo, the Christians to their “clubhouse”, the D&D to theirs. And in the end small bubbles form)
So organise something that caters to “basically everyone”.
I once lived in a neighbourhood that suffered from exactly this problem until a few people (one had actually a research background in this matters) started a small initiative which did exactly this: bring the neighbours together with some things people hardly can be opposed to. First they rented a proper Pizza oven and did a “pizza festival”. They “sold” the dough,tomato sauce and baked the pizza, but you had to bring your own toppings (saved them from the ongoing debate about that). Someone volunteered to get the older folks to the location (a cul de sac). Proceedings did not go to any cause beside the festival itself, they only covered their cost.
Next time they organised a outdoor movie night with a -intentionally non-confrontational- movie from the 80ies.
Etc. Etc. Other neighbourhood followed with similar concepts.
Now multiple neighbourhood bought a mobile pizza oven together and gifted it to the city so that it can be used by every neighbourhood. Etc.
But this was their way to bring people together beyond their interests/hobbies.
And it worked.
And then what?
Mongolia is fully landlocked and is a minor military power.
They cannot get him out of the country to the ICC as neither Russia nor China would give them flight permissions. Russia for obvious reasons and China would surely not do it as well - as it would make travelling for Xi much more problematic, especially after what he plans with Taiwan.
They cannot keep him there because the Russians, as military incapable as they are, would basically drive into UB and simply retrieve him. The Mongolian armed forces have a joint budget that is less than what a single CH-53K King Stallion costs. Their army is based on (hardly working) T54 and BMP1. Their airforce owns exactly two Mig29 Fighters (gift of Russia). And that does not even include the very real possibility that the Chinese do Vladimir a favour and get him - simply to make sure to keep the West occupied and shift the focus away from them and Taiwan again.
If they keep him there and he dies…well…that would at least mean the end of the political ruling class of the country and could lead to the very real threat of large scale revenge by either Russia or Russia and China.
My personal prophecy for any scenario like that would be that a few thousand Mongolians die, around 300.000 end up in labour camps and Mongolia as a sovereign nation ceases to exist. Why? Mongolia exists mainly because two major powers “couldn’t be bothered” to conquer them, it would make them look bad and a buffer to a not that welcome neighbour is always welcome. If Mongolia fucks it up for one or both of them it basically looses that “reason” to exist in the eyes of both the Russians and the Chinese. And they would be “bad enough” in the light of a lot of countries as well as their own population that a “swift special military operation” is justified.
Holy shit, what kind of system do you use?
On this side of the pond most H0 engines are still well below 200$. Sure,there are some that are more expensive, but I could only find sets or special editions in that range here.
Pellagra usually comes from eating a high corn/sorghum diet without proper nixtamaliziation (I really hope I spelt that correctly), the alkalisation of the food before cooking. While some chronic digestive diseases, alcoholism and a few other causes can also lead to it, malnutrition is the main cause and neither of these causes come upon an otherwise healthy looking child overnight. While I might not rule out that someone is idiotic enough to feed their kid only corn and sorghum it is rather unlikely and diarrhoea is one of the rather late symptoms.
(I transferred a five year old with major liver and some cerebral damage after the parents kept the poor kiddo on a “barley, corn, yeast, self produced apple juice and full grain” only diet for a year…one can imagine what that leads to)
Kind of. I am a CEO (that’s the easy part) of a small consulting company in healthcare.
The hard part is to explain what we actually do: We do consult organisations about (healthcare related) disaster preparedness/risk management and contingency planning. So you call us if you want to have proper plans in case your hospital catches fire, COVID and monkey pox have baby or if you are a city and need to know how to plan for “the day X”. But as we work mainly on a systemic level you can also call us if you need a more intelligence focused plan e.g. “I am going to South Sudan, what do I do if I have an accident?”.
Additionally we also consult for ambulance services, e.g. how to plan vehicle allocation, etc.
