Pi5 8Gb. If you're going to use it as a daily driver I'd recommend this one. You may also compress ram with rpi-swap/zram, which will help you fit more things into that 8Gb at the expense of some CPU cycles.

I'm using a Raspberry Pi. I bet those specs are worse than yours! Kuddos for the community.

I’d wager this photo was taken in the fall and these are probably Asian ladybugs. Ladybugs generally will aggregate in an outside location suitable for overwintering (e.g: under tree bark). Asian ladybugs specifically have a preference for human structures and as you’ve seen, get into everything. Sometimes they dehydrate and die, leaving you little memories of their past lives.

Fun fact. The ladybugs you buy at the garden store in the spring are often collected during this diapause period.

Yup. Find me a car that respects my privacy and won't advertise to me and I'm in.

Edit to add: and no fuucking subscriptions to enable things the car can already do but disabled in software.

Nifty find and thanks for posting such clear pictures! It's def a roach. I think that would be Ectobius pallidus (though it can be similar to other species) and here's some info about it you will enjoy:
