For projects, yes... most of the things I want to build don't need to go fast, so the pi zero is amazing and so so small. If you are just talking little cheap computer to stash somewhere, then no. I do think it would be neat if someone made a SBC N100 in the "credit card" size.

I actually moved everything to docker containers at home... Not an apples to apples, but I don't need so many full OSs it turns out.

At work we have a mix of things running right now to see. I don't think we'll land on ovirt or openstack. It seems like we'll bite the cost bullet and move all the important services to amazon.

Xubuntu... It's light weight and pretty much everything is kind of Debian or kind of redhat anyway...

The charm of rolling my own died off when I got old enough to buy better hardware if I wanted to go faster...

I'm shocked I tell you; simply shocked...

If it really bothers you, I think you could set up authentik (or some other idp) and point all your login needs at it... Though, it's not going to make things easier for you, just the opposite. Probably a good learning experience though.

Incorporate a protected boot bypass into the installer

Investment... It's a bit too simple to just say money, but investment wraps it up better. Chips may not be open source, but they are physically there to be taken apart and reproduced. That's what a lot of those Chinese knockoff chips are (baring the ones where the designs are outright stolen). The only thing that stops you from doing the same thing as those bootleg fabs is being willing to soak time and resources into the project. It's just a big project. Like a Bloomfield i7 (which is old and fairly large) has 731 million transistors in it...

It is. Though they clearly had to set up the bomb to save the donkey. Which is good I suppose, but man I have a hard time following that thought process.

Wonder if he'll sue the court? That seems pretty hostile behavior to a witness...

Yes, just make sure it stays clear, so the more slope the better.

That artist had no idea how weapons work.

Check out the Ride1up revv1. Similar idea, more sport, less cargo, but you can buy it and stuff in extra batteries now. ;)

I actually went the other way and ended where you are now. Had an electric car and ended up letting it go when I actually did the math one $/trip. Between the payment, power and insurance, I was at looking at something like $50/trip.

I miss 2008 Google

Yeah, I mean don't like uefi, but this makes me want to..

Sounds like the blocks are sealed to stop decomposition.. so I guess the bricks would rot if the seal is compromised? That wouldn't be good for a building. And it would let the carbon out.

You know, I wonder if they are trying to sell the company? Reducing operating costs and short term revenue gains are pretty normal for companies that are looking to exit. Wouldn't expect it from them but it's starting to look like it. Microsoft maybe?

That's the guy ;)

It's the Titanic tourists that died a little while ago.

It sounds like you have sensor issues. It's not reading the battery level correctly. You can either remember to start looking for the charger at 60% or look into calibrating the battery sensor or reconfigure your sensors in general. How to do #2 is going to depend on your distro.
