I need to own this mug…

Ive been using a pi model B for the last four years as a wood stove monitor, data logger and web server for the landing page of said data. Is this a big deal?

No gpio but old centrino laptops make excellent low power servers. My primary server was a first gen centrino from 2011 up until recently and I think it only used 12w idle after putting a SSD in there. Had it’s own UPS built in.

There are lots of vendors that just make simple, cheap project enclosures. Bud Industries is my favorite. I have one of these bolted to the back of my trailer with a USB camera in it that I use as a back up camera. Just use some RTV to seal the hole the wire comes in through. https://www.budind.com/product/nema-ip-rated-boxes/ptk-series-fiberglass-box/ptk-18240-2-2-2-2-2/#group=series-products&external_dimensions_group=0&internal_dimensions=0&cover_style_group=0

They will again starting in 2027 thanks to the EU.

*your nation’s Amazon packages have arrived

At minimum ensure the rest of the world stays 20 years ahead of us. Southern EU has been heavily powered by renewables for over a decade and were still somehow discussing their merit.

Its essentially my garage and workbench with tools. My home doesnt have a garage so I made one. I built a modest bench into the nose of the trailer and put the inverter, battery and equipment under it. There is a cell hotspot and raspberry pi that controls the vent fans, exterior lights, etc so its a fully self contained, mobile workshop I can take wherever and I control it all from a website and get solar analytics. I usually park it way out back on my property.

Listen to this guy, made a solar powered trailer/workshop and battery storage is the biggest limitation. If you get 3 days of bad weather the battery drains and you go offline. Or you spend tons of money over sizing the system and the batteries are wasted 95% time. Its a game of numbers and use cases.

I paid for a year of an incogni family plan and wiped my whole household off the internet. Within a month google searching largely stopped coming up with hits other than accounts I personally created. I’ve been quite happy with the service, It took no effort just $100.

New Hampshire is the closest thing America has to feral freedom, their moto is “Live free or die”, not sure why everyone always talks about Texas being the wild west anymore.

My father wants to sell his deep sea fishing boat, no more fish to catch. He is so heavily restricted on what he can catch there is no point going out anymore. Meanwhile when he goes out into international waters and fishes based on these rules he has to dodge all the international fishing trawlers that scrap the ocean clean. Very frustrating.

For what it’s worth I hope he sells his boat. It’s stupid and wasteful to burn 200 gallons of gas to perhaps catch one shark. It’s painfully wasteful.

Make a massive terrarium

Coolest thing I’ve read all month. I always knew plants and fungus could live in symbiosis but it didn’t occur it could be a selectively bred attribute to boost crop yields. Science is awsome.

Are those old ISA sound blasters worth much? I think I have a few in the basement…

I have a trailer (workshop) with solar power, batteries, a raspberry pi controlling everything and a cellular hot spot. It pumps all the solar, battery information and light controls over MQTT and home assistant over cellular. So yes its possible, what do you want to do?

This person works in the battery industry. Hello fellow battery expert!

I overclocked my socket A athlon to the moon and loved every minute of its partial instability. Still have that CPU in the attic.

I’m not a doctor and a dude, just speaking from personal experiences and shared stories, but are you on birth control? Birth control pills made my wife emotionally unstable when she was PMSing and finally she had enough and stopped taking them. It was a night and day difference and she hasn’t taken them since. Just food for thought.
