@StarkRG nodds in agreeement In a #classroom-like #setup we'd more likely see some centralized, self-hosted #managment solution like #Landscape or #RustDesk being used.

  • I can see why they did this: It's clearly inspired by tools like #AnyDesk and I do have to applaud them for that.

And if this acts similar to #WebCall and merely acts as a "Rendrevous-Server" then traffic and thus costs should be quite low.

I'd still hope they #OpenSource the #Backend so that there's another competitor to #Dayon and #RustDesk available...

  • In the meantime just setting up a sudo admin user with #Pubkey-only auth on #SSH is likely the way to do some admin stuff.

Maybe one day @RaspberryPi will even add #PXE - #NetBoot capabilities to their #RaspberryPi and thus allow for #DisklessWorkstation - Setups, saving a crapton on #MicroSD cards that are prone to get lost and/or stolen...

@lmemsm basically the Idea behind it is to be a brutally simple #toybox + #musl / #linux distro that grew out of the necessity for me to actually think about #firmware for some projects.

Basically I want something that is so simple and auditable that it's practical to make it pass any #verification demands for #SecureTerminal|s in #CriticalInfrastructure and #Communications.

  • OFC one may point at my other projects and say: "Why don't you just put #RaspberryPiOS on a #microSD?" ignoring that the smallest image is >330MB in size and that seems kinda overkill for essentially my demands for a minimalist #Linux with very few programs in userspace.

Not to mention a #GNUfree - #Linux distro is the way to go if I want that thing to not get bricked constantly by minor #GlibC-changes...

  • End goal is something akin to #MSDOS in it's brutal simplicity, but way more extendable.

I hope that answers your question...

  • Sorry for the delay.

My son got a GoPro for Christmas. He asked me, "Dad, do you have a #flashcard I can use for my new camera?"

My old 32GB #microSD that I paid over $200 for years ago had errors so I went online to buy a new one:

$39 for 512GB.

I consciously know flash memory #prices halve every year but never in my WILDEST DREAMS did I expect half a TB for the price of a light LA dinner - so small I could accidentally swallow it.

(Note: I still recall being stunned by the 256K RAM chip back in 1982 so...)

@dalias @StryderNotavi @gantua given that early versions of the #RaspberryPi could be crashed / kernel panic'd with a xenon flash, I'd not be surprised of that possibility.

  • And given the early versions up to & including #Pi3B are supposed to run off #MicroUSB, sometimes with as little as 500mA ( #Pi0v1.2 ) and maxing out at 2,4A ( #Pi3Bplus ) I'm shure they are at the lower end of tolerance re: SPI bus voltages for #SD / #microSD cards...

Add to that a card that just barely keep up with it and we get those too tight tolerances between the two, so yeah, it all comes together.

  • OFC this is a hardware flaw and not really fixable except with a new board version / swapping certain components.

Personally, I think #SlotMusic is okay and #SlotRadio is gimmicky, but apparently #Techmoan likes it because it's a way to #discover new #music and #artists...

  • It's a shame the latter one is hamfisted with the limitation of no ability to freely choose tracks and/or skipping back.

But then again, 500-1.000 popular tracks for like $40 MSRP (or 4-8¢/track) is a bargain and had they not kneecapped it with #DRM and the limitations, it would've been "cheaper and more convenient than using #BitTorrent"...
