Each Pi 4 has 8GB of RAM. With six devices, that’s 48GB to play with. More than enough for my needs.

This please.

This is what I get for trying to be civil. You’re a terrible person and you should be ashamed of yourself.

My first response to this was expletive-laden, but I think I might get through to you if I reign it in, so I’m trying to be polite here. Just understand that I am seething with rage while I type this.

Hey there friend. You need to learn to park or stop driving. Seriously, you’re endangering lives for your convenience. You get the whole damned road while everyone else is allocated the slightest fraction to safeguard ourselves from drunks, assholes, and morons pushing two tonnes of steel and glass at 60mph while they stare at their phones and you think it’s ok to push kids on bikes into that channel of death because you can’t be bothered to look for a legit parking spot? I get that your employer is pressuring you for better times, but you’re literally breaking the law and that law exists for a reason.

Every one of the 4 of the drivers I saw that day were parking on the cycle lane when they had multiple more reasonable options available to them:

1. The driveways of those receiving the packages
2. Around the corner in a safer area where parking spaces are allocated by the city for just this situation
3. Blocking the road. I understand that this seems crazy to someone who spends so much time on the road, but blocking a car lane is an inconvenience. Blocking a cycle lane gets people killed.

What you’re doing is lazy, selfish, and dangerous. Those cycle lanes are barely safe as they are without constantly being blocked by selfish people who think that they double as a parking space. You already have nearly the entirety of the city for your vehicle. Leave these alone.

I’m of two minds with them. On the one hand, they’re doing more and better journalism than most Canadian media, but on the other hand Jesse seems to have a number of blind spots when it comes to Israel. That recent interview with the Israeli ambassador for instance was an embarrassment for example. He did everything he’s often critical of other journalists doing when covering Trump: he platformed a liar, knowing he would lie, and didn’t challenge him on any of his lies.

I’m a bit behind on the episodes at the moment. Did they do a story of what went down in Amsterdam?

Yeah it’s really quite shameful how Western media has covered it.

Actually, as a web guy, I find the ARM architecture to be more than sufficient. Most of the stuff I build is memory heavy and CPU light, so the Pi is great for this stuff.

They’re fanless and low-power, which was the primary draw to going this route. I run a Kubernetes cluster on them, including a few personal websites (Nginx+Python+Django), PostgreSQL, Sonarr, Calibre, SSH (occasionally) and every once in a while, an OpenArena server :-)

Seven Raspberry Pi 4’s and one Pi Zero, mounted on some tile “shelves” inside some IKEA furniture.

They’re horrendous. They marched in packs through Amsterdam chanting “There are no schools in Gaza” (because all the children are dead), pulled down Palestinian flags and attacked locals with metal pipes.

Actually, I spent an inordinate amount of time building exactly this in my head for most of the day following these photos. There are two major obstacles that I can think of:

1. Abuse. You will very likely get random dick pics and other terrible stuff sent to such a system. I suppose you could fight this by requiring registration with some id or something, but that’s its own can of worms.
2. I don’t know how common it is to have GPS enabled by default on people’s cameras. On top of that, even though I have it enabled on my phone, 1 of the 3 photos taken that day had grossly inaccurate GPS attached to it, so now I’d be looking at building some sort of friendly UI to allow people to fix the GPS from their photos.

The server-side stuff is easy (at least for someone with my background) but the front-end is sufficiently complicated that I couldn’t do a good job on my own.

But why weren’t they wearing their helmet/high-vis/body armour???

That’s the dream. Where do you live?

You’d think, but there are three levels of responsibility: the city council, the county council, and the local police. Calling any one of them to complain and demand enforcement results in them redirecting you to one of the others.

Basically, unless you’re blocking car traffic, no one with power cares.

That’s a good point actually. Amazon is much more likely to care about a van that can’t deliver than some scratched paint.

Well, given that parking in a bike lane carries a hefty fine, and that the cops don’t seem to care, it’s unlikely that they’d be around to notice or choose to do anything about scratched paint or a broken headlight.

I have enough anger for both.

Curious how it never occurs to them to block the driving lane, or you know, park around the corner.

Cambridge checking in. It must be payback for the cows leaving their shit all over the walking path.

I just went through F-Droid and counted out all the projects I have on my phone. At £5 each I’m looking at an annual bill of about £70/year… Bargain.

Thanks for the idea!
