(Quote) Refurbished can also mean it's a customer return. Someone who ordered and decided to returned it cause they didn't like it or didn't need it or other reason. The vendor will test it and sell it as refurbished. Sometimes it's also the shucke…

(Quote) Yes, the primary feature of raspberry pi is the low power and the access to all of it's GPIO pins. Moreover it was a low cost solution to prototyping (not sure I can say that anymore, with the Pi 5 costing 100+ dollars).

(Quote) Exactly. When connected to a motherboard's NVMe port, the drives heats up and requires at least a fan blowing on them while in a raspberry Pi, they stay cool. So they are definitely getting throttled. Not sure if it's due to the low x1 PCIe …

(Quote) Pi 4 max current output for usb is 1.2 A (total) at 5V, which is 6W. That's a 6W for just one port if you stick to only 1 port. Although if you read the specs, it would seem like it's not enough for Sata SSD which draws "5-8 watts when …

(Quote) Well, English is a difficult language. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though.

(Quote) Both for Pi 4 and Pi 5 they are ok as long as you are connecting to the USB 3.0 ports. SSDs pulls a lot less power then mechanical harddisks and dont have spikes during spin-ups. As for Pi 3, ya... i tried it once and it broke the adapter. P…

(Quote) Personally I stick to raspberry pi cause they have better firmware support and documentations for those edge cases where things don't work.

(Quote) LOL! Good one!

Crap, my private image hosting went down with the VPS... Time to setup a new one I guess!

(Quote) So you don't want hourly billing but want to pay every hour? Like, pay 24 times per day? Weird... but to each their own I guess! :lol:

(Quote) What's your issue with turkey? They are just trying to make a living there, not bothering anyone... (Image)

One simple rule: If it's on the internet, it's going to be exploited. Anything you don't want going public or being sold should not be put on the internet. Facebook, insta, tiktok, whatsapp, all are selling your data. So why not a bot scraping disc…

(Quote) I see your point... My raspberry Pi Zero 2W "needs" a passive cooler along with a fan nearby, otherwise it thermal throttles. Same with my Pi 4 which needs a full on 1 KG aluminum cooler case and still gets too hot to touch when he…

(Quote) Experience man... Did burn a few SD cards before finding out that heat is not a friend of SD cards... (Quote) No need. MicroSD is enough for regular use. I have 4xPi 3s running fully of microSD cards 24/7 for over 2 years. As long as the pr…

I wont recommend using the "offical" case. It sucks. Not enough airflow and the pi heats up. Also recommend using a fanless tiny heatsink on the pi CPU. Pi 4 heats up a lot compared to Pi 3 and consumes a lot of power. You also need to run…

Tested on raspberry pi 3: https://somik.org/ubuntu-18-04-install-llmp-stack/ If you can run it on a low end VPS, you can run it on a raspberry pi 3 or above. Performance is good for low traffic websites (or personal sites). I ran from a microSD ca…

(Quote) Here, they used to provide Aztech routers. Then they "upgrade" to Huawei after 2 years (during re-contract period). When I switched internet provider to go with M1 they provided a Asus router (mid range one). Next recontract (2 ye…

(Quote) As long as you can see the "firmware upgrade" option and are able to upgrade it using the firmware available on manufacturer's website, it's ok. The issue is that most "free" routers that the ISP provides are just too che…

(Quote) If you are using the ISP supplied router, you are leaving performance on the table. NEVER use their provided routers (unless you got no choice) or you got a very good ISP who do not flash the router with their own firmware... I prefer using …

(Quote) Well, it was around 2013 that we started getting IPv6 support from our ISPs, which is way before the final standardization. As for servers, I guess IPv6 has been around for a while. (Quote) My issue are the test servers I use. The test serv…

(Quote) As per: https://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/ipv6/faq/ (Quote) And here as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6 (Quote) So IPv6 was only a full "standard" for 7 years, not 25. Anyway, what I need now is a good firewall …

(Quote) Indonesia has 17,508 islands officially; of which, only around 6,000 have people living on them. Given that most islands don't even have electricity, I doubt they want IPv6 (or any internet connectivity) there. The major islands where there …

(Quote) As long as they are not sourcing the batteries/motors/controllers from cheap Chinese factories, it should be ok. But I agree with your wait and see approach :)
