Great suggestion. Actually I think rpi clone can clone down to a smaller sd card https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone You could clone down to like a 4 gig SD card, and then back up that SD card.

What's the best way to backup the actual sd card. I plan to store it on the cloud. I tried using Windisk 32 and it didn't work .

Ram tends to create issues when you're building stuff locally. I used ram as an off hand example of something which is limited. I actually did go out and buy a Raspberry Pi 4 8gb since I want to start processing some machine learning,

Technically, couldn't he install a very lightweight Linux distribution. I have a few Raspberry Pi zeros and I actually enjoy coding within the limitations of said hardware, when you know you only have 500 megs of RAM on the device you

Agreed , it's not a bad idea to always have an offline backup system just in case. Like if you're filing for unemployment, you can only do that via the government, you can't just go to a different unemployment office. So havi

Solid article. I'm very much looking into building a non smartphone pocket size internet device with a raspberry pi zero as a base. So I could do something like listen to internet radio, while I walk around my city without worrying ab

Anyway to do this for cheaper ? 100$ a month excludes hobbyist who can still provide revenue. Hell, if it was 10$ I'd signup just to try it .

Love Audacity ! It's such a great tool for editing bits of audio fast. I think the UI is fine for what it does to be honest .

Great to see , so far this looks like Node's best answer to Wordpress. Had a ton of fun writing a blog with Ghost.

I had the privilege of working under a CTO, who would personally write code for me when I got stuck. A big part of this was it was a smaller company, but even so I definitely think Hands-On founders make the best founders. Because you can e

What if these two hypothetical people are friends who share cooking tips ? What if neither uses Twitter , but meet at a bar. I've dated liberals and conservatives. People are nicer in real life. Very rarely do people walk up to me hurl

The war mongering here is so silly. Let China reassert itself as the dominant power in Asia. That's none of our concern.

This is what I did with Disney Plus. I really love the first eight seasons of The Simpsons, and the original Star wars trilogy, plus the Last Jedi are pretty good movies. Nothing else in their library really appeals to me as a single guy. I

A big part of being 16 is thinking that you know everything. But to be perfectly blunt, to a young man I would just tell him girls aren't going to really like you unless you get down to a healthy weight. That's the only thing that

Agreed, I feel one result of political correctness has been a refusal to acknowledge how much obesity affects every aspect of your health. I used to be morbidly obese and I was constantly sick up until I lost 70 or so pounds and got to a re

Don't feel bad, Americans are notorious for forgetting our history as fast as possible. Aside from jingoistic comic book like tales, we as a people rarely talk about the past.

I didn't call anyone an idiot, but if I'm a 19-year-old clerk I have other things on my mind than what type of cheese people like. Nor would it be this 19-year-old's job to guess what your preferences are

This is what happens when you spend decades demonizing journalism. Instead of giving us insightful articles, the New York times is competing against Facebook and Twitter to grab your attention immediately. I have a feeling most people don&#

The vast majority of things don't matter. If you see someone nice at a bar, say hi. Ask for her or her number , and actually set up a time to meet. Don't waste your time minelessly chatting with someone via text, or God forbid sna

I think about programming languages like I do cars. While rust may be a Ferrari, some kid who doesn't know how to drive a stick and has only had his license for about a month is going to have a rough time beating you driving from New Y

Pretty sure I'm the only person on this thread who loves flutter. We use flutter web and Firebase for our hobbyist project, and the results have been simply amazing. Dart makes Typescript look like a joke. The build system alone makes
