I’m not sure about the software always breaking, I haven’t had this issue. I will say though this most recent update (19.4) has me frustrated, mainly because the instructions are clear as mud (especially pictrs 0.5). Once I get it figured out I’ll have to post a real upgrade doc instead of what is currently available. I have never seen the lemmy matrix as busy as it is now with upgrade questions and puzzled admins.

I’m not sure how soon you need this, but if you can wait sipeed has a $20 kvm with ATX control that should be out soon https://lunar.computer/news/sipeed-announces-new-20-risc-v-kvm-device/

There’s an interesting book I read recently related to this called The Anxious Generation: how the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness. I’d recommend it.

As a counterpoint, EFF put out this article today: The Surgeon General’s Fear-Mongering, Unconstitutional Effort to Label Social Media

Just keep in mind that even with a jetson board you’ll need one of the higher memory configurations to have a non-frustrating stable diffusion experience. 32-64GB like the Orin and those aren’t cheap. The nanos just don’t cut it without severe optimizations and very long generate times.

Elaborate on why samba is bad when it comes to security? Like list a bunch of links like this or write a paragraph summarizing them like a chatbot?

NFS does symlinks but they have to be configured correctly.

Samba may have not given you issues in the past, but it also doesn’t give you any security.

Also never use samba. At the very least use NFS.

This is where the nature of federation really shines. .ml is one of the biggest lemmy communities? It doesn’t have to be. In fact as lemmy is still so new and various situations continue to shake out I would wager that in a few years time the top current communities will be replaced. And later on those will be replaced. Censorship resistance is built into ActivityPub by virtue of its decentralization.

It seems to be quite a lot for the server it’s hosted on though (which is not the snappiest).

I’m working on it

It’s extremely light to run, and very easy to install and upgrade. I ran one for just myself without open registrations. The only con is that the community (self-hostable) version doesn’t allow js due to “safety reasons” so in order to have something like comments for your blog you have to either perform several janky CSS hacks or adjust the source code yourself. The only reason I chose wf was because of federation, but I eventually switched to standard WordPress with the federation plugin and now have comments and whatever else I want.

I see your point but you can call out China’s Uyghur genocide while still being against forced labor in other parts of the world.

You can own an idea only insofar as you keep it a secret. Once the idea is out there, it is equally owned by the minds it inhabits. Kinsella has a good argument against IP https://www.stephankinsella.com/publications/against-intellectual-property/ .

Thomas Jefferson on ideas as property: If NATURE has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea… No one possesses the less, because every other possess the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

I’m not really sure how it would harm your network if you used an image like Armbian or one of the other respected aarch64 images for it.

I do too. I’m currently using an original Radxa Zero 2GB as a CoreElec media player and with PoE having one less wire would be quite nice.

I started using Frigate and thought about going the Coral route but realized you didn’t need them if you have a relatively recent Intel CPU (6th gen or newer) as OpenVino with the iGPU is pretty much on par https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/discussions/5742 .

A lot of the newer SBCs are being shipped with integrated NPUs/TPUs now as well. I would get a Coral if I were to use an older SBC or RPi or older PC as a camera server for object detection. Currently I have an ESP32-CAM watching a bird feeder but that feed goes to a modern server for bird species recognition but I could see a Coral as an option.

I like Librum for reading, as far as finding https://lemmy.ml/c/piracy may know

A better comparison would be the RPi compute module 4 since both need a carrier. A thin client like you mention, or one of the recent sub $100 n100 mini PCs would be a good alternative.

Not yet unfortunately, but this is a day one buy for me.

Neither Allwinner nor Rockchip boards need proprietary flashing software for img images. BTW, if you’re having issues flashing, let me know and I can help out. I’ve flashed countless RC boards over the years since the original Rock64.

N100 mini PCs with 8GB of RAM have broken the sub $100 price point. They may not be single board but they’re about the same size as this. I do like the dual nics and case on the Zima board but I would never buy one.
