Re:HashiCorp silently amend Terraform Registry TOS on Thursday August 31, 2023 @09:03AM (#37336519)
It's... effort consuming, but is doable and more like a 1-time effort.

A while ago I built an alternative plugin manager for Terraform (https://github.com/paraterraform/para) and explored the idea of distributed indices (where you just host a file in the repo as seen in https://github.com/ashald/terraform-provider-stateful/blob/m...).

So at the end of the day, it's either about the effort to inventory the current registry and find sources that are available, or do this on an ongoing as-needed basis (eg something like para would allow an index to be hosted in a github repo managed with PRs).

Which gives you an hour or two of battery life, and effectively no camera support.

I have one, running Linux on it, love it and consider best Linux device I ever had had, but I wish there were fewer quirks.

Um, no. That's index.html, and they already used it for the homepage.

I've got an X3 that is rock solid even after me and the bike flying apart in an attempt to avoid collision with a truck. And its design is the primary reason why I decided to start biking again to begin with - I just find it so pleasantly satisfying I just want to ride it. So IDK, but I haven't seen a viable alternative yet.
