I’ve been told worse things but never by a dog.

Omni Consumer Products presents the ED209 of dishwashers.

I’m pretty sure that if it wasn’t for the Spaniards, the Aztecs would have reached the moon by now using maize fuel.

Donald Trump was once a democrat supporter, I shit you not we live in that same timeline.

That’s a lot of dick for a 70 year old. Thanks for the stats though ;)

I gave a bit of a heads-up on a different thread, but the TLDR is that I use usb for the main disk and there’s an issue with usb in the latest uboot for rk3328. I tried flashing the SPI to an early version but as soon as I would update a kernel to LTS, I would start having problems.

To be honest, I feel that this is a solvable issue, but also that I’m done trying to make these cards work on my own. (I wasted a lot of time and money fixing the eemc modules and the sockets).

At this point I reached a conclusion that I would use my selfhosting time to focus on software and networks, and just use reliable hardware, even if it means doing less and paying more, and leave soldering for my diy projects.

That said, the Rock64 pro sbcs I have are still going strong despite being used non-stop for the last 5-6 years.

Rock64s had several issues with emmc slots, however one way I had to circumvent it was flashing the SPI allowing me to boot from usb, following the official guide: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/blob/master/recipes/flash-spi.md

The issue here is that with the recent updates on u-boot, some older models have issues with old u-boot systems, and while I can flash again to the previous working SPI and u-boot, I can’t make it work with the latest lts kernel.

Could it be solved? Sure, if I invest time solving the issue and compiling my own kernel version, I guess.

Is it worth it? My time is more limited than my money. I’ll rather some cash on three rpi5 or similar, than wasting more time on a set of cards that have been failing on several things for the past five years. (lattepandas and rock 64 pro had no issue during the same amount of time)

At the end of the day, I like selfhosting services but I also like having free time :)

Thanks, that is one of my biggest concerns. Rpi5 is on my radar, despite the supply situation that often plagues rpies

I love numberphile for explaining complex math in a simple, engaging way while also making me feel stupid for not understanding it once done.

I’m a science major, I should be able to understand it, yet I feel like I’m five.

Bill Gates Gives Up on making money out of Climate change.

There, I fixed it for ya.

He promoted gas as “hybrid” clean power, carbon capture and other stupid ventures while using his philanthropic investments as a way of making a killing.

Carbon capture is probably the most egregious of them all. And all parroted by the media he has been influencing, even propaganda stuff like Kurzgesagt.

You’ve got to see what they built in Vegas, it looks like a comedy skit.

Sure! Frass can be used for most insect excreta, but saying that someone’s full of frass sounds just right.

Maybe also a phrase like: “If you touch the cobwebs, you’ll get the frass”

You think right: silk comes from the spinnerets, however they do use frass (poo) to improve their cobwebs.

If you have ever got tangled in a cobweb, then yes.

Spider poop is called frass and it is often used to reinforce their webs (usually wet droplets).

Iirc hunting spiders tend to excrete more often dry pellets but may be misremembering.

I can’t read no, I can’t read my butterface~
