I combined several more live cd (such as gparted, clonezilla, memtest, ubuntu installer) in one usb stick thru the use of YUMI-UEFI. Very handy for troubleshooting esp when you are offline.

I definitely don't get the appeal, looks like someone just factory install a linux distro and call it a day. If I am needing a dev machine, why not just get a thinkpad and snap my favorite linux distro on it?

Well the data will need to move with you. Not very feasible if you need the whole media library / codebase to be transported via cellular all the time. I understand the appeal when you just need terminal access tho.

I am in the middle of reading this book on Yocto[1], learning embedded Linux. If your device has been mainlined it will save you lots of troubles.

Armbian often comes with the patches you want, their ready-to-use images is great. But porting their patch to your own project will take some effort.

I think lots of people will be interested, keep us posted if the live streaming really happens!

Even if you do not agree with the coding style they propose, it is still useful to know and helps understand others code (and the rationale behind it). It is true though not everything applies nicely.

To add to others' opinions, HP have their offline driver very hard to find and almost can't install properly. Even what I want to use is the scan function on the printer, I will have to get internet access to open up a account with HP, or else the phone app and computer app just refuses to show the relevant pages... Just outright annoying and would not buy any HP product again before they improve the situation

agreed, but if I am learning a new syntax anyways I will go for ansible.

I used v2ray+nginx on a linode instance to expose NAT-ed port. I have tried cloudflared before but it seems to not able to proxy the cockpit GUI well. And the credentials (for the whole domain) will have to stay with the device, that make me a little nervous.

That depends on how well your bash script is constructed. If you carefully handle the falling case such as missing commands, non-root permissions, etc. It can be easy to use and kind of portable. Of course python scripts have better error trace so if the script doesnt work others can debug with relatively easily.

Not exactly, I think they just use a specific mirror design (2.4m dia.) because they are already manufacturing them to be used in spy satellites.

haha you can also call it the 80-20 rule too be fancy

Read from other posts that a win10 ameliorated unofficial build exist.

Seems functional and depends on how much you trust the guys behind it. (or compile your own)

Another option is to buy a ltsc win10 license (if you can find it cheap online)

Similar experience here, except I used brave cuz I don't really like the Google service stuff. I am pretty okay with most of the existing browsers on the market (but not edge, again the force you to use ms service, and useless default news etc.) And I don't care about the gui that much cuz I am not storing bookmarks in the browsers, it's quite hard to search through and sync
