PiVPN is great. Works on just as well on a standard server with Ubuntu.
All true. And RPIs aren't even cheap anymore. It's much more cost effective to buy a refurbished lease PC and get the extra processing power, expandability & reliable storage. I run everything on a HP elitedesk and it didn't cost much over £150.
I've never understood why we don't build more houses from timber.
Out of interest, did you get a reasonable scrap price?
I was talking to someone the other day that said they got nearly £1k for theirs. Last time I scrapped anything (years and years ago) I had to pay them to take it away because scrap prices were so low.
I am one of the few that didn't get this book at all. I thought The Martian was fantastic, but was annoyed at myself for persevering to finish this one.
I read an amusing anecdote about him this morning:
When he was awarded the $236,000 MacArthur “genius” grant in 1981, he carried on cutting his own hair and preparing meals on a hot-plate. And he only ever signed 250 copies of his Pulitzer Prize-winning 2006 novel The Road, all of which he gave to his youngest son John. When the boy turns 18, McCarthy said, “he can sell them and go to Las Vegas or whatever”.
I enjoyed The Road. Couldn't get on with any of his others though.
I'm relatively competent installing server software, but the Lemmy instructions completely flummoxed me. Their docker instructions just don't work.
I ended up using the ansible docker scripts and filling out the blanks because I'm unfamiliar with ansible.
If this is as good as it sounds, you're doing everyone a massive favour.
First I've heard of Boolwyrm. Looks neat!
Wallabag is what most people recommend, but I couldn't get on with it.
Found it in a tourist shop in Skipton.
The new journal is an interesting feature. I journal elsewhere, so won't use it exclusively, but I imagine it will be a handy way of reminding myself of where I've been and what I've been doing.
