Install the adapter and epoxy it to the laptop :D

You may want to specify what your needs are. What is this for?

I started reading and though this was someone who had lost their marbles, by target 2 I was hooked.

I’ve clicked the “install updates tonight” button a bunch of times, it consistently fails to update and then I have to force it to update the next morning. Incredibly poor experience.

Same. Super easy to do, easy to mirror repos, easy to keep offline…

My repo is fine, because its not online. Keeping them online is just silly.

That might be the only way to make it clean again though.

No, you absolutely do not want that.

Next time your in the theater, shine a torch on the seat, and then imagine it on your face.

What is openwebzine? Can’t find any info on it.

256gb of ram seems well beyond standard self-hosting, what are you planning on running?!

I did create a fork and MR, and neither used your runner (sorry if that is what spooked you).

Develop local and push remote also let’s you sanitize what is public and what isnt. Keep your half-backed personal projects local, push the good stuff to github for job opportunities.

I think it was when you create a merge request back, that the original repo would then run the forked branch on the original runners.

From what I can tell, its now been much more locked down, so its better, but still worth being careful about.

The other potential risk is that the github action author maliciously modifies their code in a later version, but that is solved with version pinning the actions.

I can’t find it right now, but there used to be a warning about not self-hosting runners for public repos. Anyone could fork your repo, and the fork would inherit your runners, and then they could change the pipeline to RCE on your runner.

Has that been fixed?

I went to a completely private gitlab instead, with mirroring up to github for anything that needed to be public.

Edit: seems to maybe not be an issue anymore, at the very least it doesn’t seem to affect that repo. Still, for anyone else, make sure forks and MRs can’t cause action to run automatically on your runner, because that would be very bad.

This is my personal opinion, but you should add :

0. Dont.

Unless there is a really good reason, don’t rename your project. It only adds confusion, and users will get lost during the transition. It also makes them hesitant to try the new one - “What if they do it again and i get left behind”.

Pihole isnt pi specific either, it still kept the name.

Is a secondhand “official” nuc not an option?

I can’t speak to any of the Chinese brands, but minisforum seems well liked.

For what’s worth, your making the right call. I did this a few years back with some second hand nucs, and everything has just been way smoother to deal with on x86

Adding batteries to appliances is nontrivial. Large batteries are a fire risk, which is why home batteries are usually outside on a fireproof wall.

If you put batteries in a dishwasher, they would need to be fireproofed.

It would be really nice if there was a way to easily daisy chain panels. By easy, I mean mount to the roof, plug into the end of the existing set of panels, no electrician required. Then if you got a new appliance you could just add the new panel to the old one and carry on.

But yeah, expecting the general public to add a solar panel every time they get a dishwasher is unrealistic.

Share a photo. Sometimes its just a missing connector, sometimes the controller or other bits are also removed.

I’ve soldered a sata connector and had it work, but everything else was still in place.

I think idea is that the app would already be there, for a journalist, having Signal is probably a given.

A journalist or political figure can install a $5 VPN.

And even in their own example attack against the Discord CTO, their location got them down to 90% of the US. I could have guessed that without the attack.
