The problem is that there are options to not carry all thru the cable. Feature matrix of port is less of a problem (althought can still be confusing) but fact that one feature can work with one cable but not other is massive mess. And po

Surgeon would absolutely use a tool that tells them when they're about to make something that's 99% of the time a mistake.

That's my experience with many alternatives, basically nothing (INCLUDING rPi) is just supported in mainline, but rPi's patched version of Debian is well supported unlike the alternatives. If just for playing around paying extra f

Is orange pi 5 as fast as 35W TDP intel CPU ? How many times slower it is than the 65W one ? Average consumption matters, not peak. And you can pin CPU to not go on higher frequencies if you don't want to go into inefficient max freque

It's mistake they can't fix without breaking existing code or introducing new function. But I'd prefer just a bunch of mux.GET/mux.POST/etc functions instead of that.

Neat but I still have no reason to use it as that "cottage industry" adds more than just fancier router.

It becomes complex when you want to support multiple NVMes Even more complex when you want to have any kind of redundancy, as you'd essentially need to build-in some kind of RAID-like into your database. Also few terabytes in RAID10 NV

I just use a bunch of markdown files. Any proper editor will give you good global search on it, and the specialized one (qownnotes) also some extra features.

Nope, current scales more easily. Just add more batteries in parallel. The problem starts with voltage because now you need each battery or battery set connected to have very close capacity or else it will be "wasted", and you nee
