DUMP YOUR RASPI NODES. Get a used mini PC or used laptop for cheap!

More powerful, only $45-75 on eBay (plus ~$65 2TB ssd, but you'd need that anyway for your Raspi node).

This HP EliteDesk 705 G4 is **overkill** for a node. 5 yrs old. Costs $75*.

Fan noise? Meh. Power draw? CPU's max draw is 35W.

Once it's done syncing, the video can't even pick up the fan running at idling speeds:

Cost to run:

15W * 24hrs / 1000W/kW * 12Β’/kWh * 30 days = $1.30/mo

This cpu is 8.5x more powerful than a Raspi4.

A more pleb-friendly option is a used laptop. Has everything you need built-in (esp the BATTERY!!! Huge advantage vs Raspi). This HP ProBook 450 G3 is running an 8yr old i5-6200U (3.5x more powerful than a Raspi4). Also super-quiet and low power (15W max cpu draw).

Another option is to buy new but last or even older gen mini pcs like NUC or something AMD based without memory and disks. That makes them quite cheap and you can buy whatever memory and disks you want.

Looks much better. Now the challenge is to find the ones I added since the backup, as I can't remember how long list was before. But i'll get there :)

It's not missing some. The following is completely empty in all clients now. My feed consists only of my own notes because I just followed myself :)

lol, switching #nostr clients still can make you loose all your followings.

If you fear pushing to production on a friday at 5pm you are doing it wrong

I guess most are better than any ISPs DNS. I was using mostly cloudflare, but maybe it's time to switch.

Anyone using NextDNS? How is it? Their privacy policy is short and quite compelling. #asknostr

To many devices to keep updated and somehow new ones popping up out of nowhere.

Is NextDNS something to consider?

Stands for Pura Vida. Phrase for the raw and pure life originating from Costa Rica popularized here by Jack and the nostrica tribe

Having fun with proxmox

Hope everyone is enjoying Sunday! PV πŸ€™

Excited to announce nostr:npub13v47pg9dxjq96an8jfev9znhm0k7ntwtlh9y335paj9kyjsjpznqzzl3l8 will be joining the Damus team as our first official employee! Daniel will be helping with Damus to make it the best experience on iOS while we build out our client tech for desktop and android. Thanks to nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f for even making this possible! Welcome Daniel!

So Damus on Android is a thing? That sounds great.

Python lesson today was a bit shorter than expected because the current flatpak version of VSCodium apparently doesn't want to work with wayland anymore. It's a bug, rollback helped, but time lost and my kids didn't like this googling for obscure errors.

I block to get them out of my DMs. For the moment, that stops further unsolicited req for a day or so. That's still easy to deal with. But certainly will get bad if they succeed with their scams more often. Or maybe it's already bad, but I didn't notice yet.
