It works for now, but the reason most wires have a rubber-like insulator around them is that it takes very little to Crack or abrade a thin coating such as this and turn it into a fire hazard.
I’m surprised a product with such a small safety margin is allowed for sale.
I had two jetsons that i was using for a project, had one on my desk and one in another office. Started back into some gpio stuff that I’d been working on the last few days and found that i was getting nothing, after about an hour of fucking with configuration trying to determine what had happened, i realised that i had sshed into the wrong one.
Now i make sure to give descriptive hostnames to every device on my network.
That was actually fairly uncommon for most of the middle ages. From the collapse of the western empire until the military reforms c1500, standing armies were few and far between. Peasants could be drafted to fight by their lords, but time in military service was the exception rather than the rule.
The cheapest option is to make it yourself. Keep an eye out for renovations or demolition around town, then either speak to the workers and ask politely for a cutting-board sized slab of discarded wood, or raid the skip when no-one is there.
If you’ve got a saw, a planer and a sander you can make one up in about an hour. Then just treat it a handful of times with cooking oil and you’re good to go.
Does anyone really use youtube these days anyway? Its gone from a site where you might discover new and interesting things to a site full of clickbait trash and ads for other trash. Its gotten the point where if i see that a video i might otherwise watch is hosted on youtube, i just scroll past because I cant be bothered dealing with their site.
I’d be quite happy for it to just die off at this stage.
Apologies if i wasnt clear there, but the point I intended to convey was indeed that you should only use an OS that you yourself have installed, to ensure that it hasnt been shipped with any bloatware or backdoors.
Hardware manufacturers have been doing it for years with modified windows installs, and I see no reason to beleieve they aren’t trying the same thing with Linux installs.
Never trust the OS that ships with a device. Wipe it, format the disk, and pray that they don’t have a backdoor at the bios level.
I disagree. The pi series are never going to do any serious heavy lifting in terms of computation, their niche is lightweight hardware that allows you to decentralise systems. Making a more powerful system at a higher price point isn’t really useful in that case.
I would rather have two less powerful machines that i can install in separate modules to control separate systems, than one centralised machine that’s still not powerful enough to do everything on it’s own. Plus, you get double the GPIO pins if you use two boards.
They’re not identical, but they have similarities. What Russia is trying to do to Ukraine is not dissimilar to what Israel did to Palestine half a century ago.
But it’s not a tarxz, it’s an xz containing a tar, and you perform operations from right to left until you arrive back at the original files with whatever extensions they use.
If I compress an exe into a zip, would you expect that to be an exezip? No, you expect it to be file.exe.zip, informing you(and your system) that this file should first be unzipped, and then should be executed.

Double-clutching is for rookies. Real drivers match the revs and powershift.
Should probably make it a zip file, with all of the ‘woosh’ going on here, he’s definitely got windows open.
Oil changes dont require a lot of tools. Most cars you’d get away with just a socket, a drain pan and a filter wrench. I’d be suprised if it took two oil changes to pay back what you spent on tools through the savings of doing it yourself.
If you can afford to drop a hundred bucks on a decent socket and spanner set, then there’s even more savings to be had from doing your own brakes and basic part replacements
The solution should be restricting such actions to root/admin, not preventing them entirely though.
Ditch the batteries and just spin up a large flywheel.
