Turns out, you don’t need an SD card at all↑ What I didn’t know, however, is that Raspberry Pi 5s can actually support NVME drives!

...turns out you don't need local storage at all: if you already run a NAS you can bootp the RasPi over the network!

This also makes backups super easy.

As a German citizen, the amount of times I heard from the "Piratenpartei" can be counted on one hand. In the early 2000s that party suffered immensely from being hijacked by Neo Nazis, losing a lot of support from voters. Since the Nazis went off and joined the AFD, the Pirate Party is more or less silent.

The worst part was when they hardly commented on Edward Snowden and the NSA leaks!

The only issue I have with TB search is the setting for the results presentation: why is there not a preferences option to set if the results show as list or in the current default 'verbose' view?

switching to list view manually seems so inefficient

The question is: what good is a security system that tells me to "just allow whatever the problem is", once a problem comes up? Without being able to see the specifics of a request and blindly following the whitelisting I could end up allowing some hacked module access to critical files without knowing. Opening the system to exactly the dangers I'm seeking to stop.

But that's the problem with these students as well: their intuition tells them that when it's warmer the sun has to be nearer. the fact that the amount of sunlight throughout the day (timespan) causes warmer seasons is an indirection in thinking.

Of course they should know what causes seasons if they had payed attention in class.

I wonder how they reacted if you'd ask them about the hemispherical difference in summer/winter, e.g. how can the southern hemisphere have winter when the whole earth is nearer to the sun...

It's still way better than the old times when lexica were a thing and you needed a printing press to convey knowledge.

I left the RasPi behind for a 2nd hand Lenovo m93p tiny for about $100. (An alternative HW would be the Dell Optiplex 9020 micro). You can upgrade the RAM on these and they use standard SSDs.

I'm booting the Proxmox VM environment and it's currently running a VM and a LXC container, with lots of future opportunities.

Proxmox allows you to reserve a vm's access to the USB ports, which comes in handy if you want to attach a Zigbee stick to a virtualized home automation server.
