I'd love to, but manufacturers are complete shit at supporting phones. Most don't get security updates after 3 years.

Raspberry pi's didn't even have power buttons until this latest version. I fully expect to be able to unplug an SBC at any point with very low chances of corruption. It's not like they're designed for that, but they don't really give you much choice. Having 10% fail like that is ridiculous.

In fact, I've done it hundreds of times and never had an issue.

Fuckin' a man. My backup server uses 70mb of ram, My NAS, 250mb. My laptop, about 1GB doing normal usage things. Open up one webpage with a YouTube video embedded and the processor constantly runs all 4 cores at 30%+, fan is on high, 3GB ram getting eaten away at for a paused video and text. It's ridiculous.

I was going to ask if you were in my area, because we recently got some nodes on mountains, but I figure at this point if there's a mountain, it's got a node on it at this point.

Ah, well the good thing is its pretty easy to set up. Most nodes are already flashed with recent enough firmware, so you just attach antennas, connect to your phone, do some quick setup for your region and go for a walk.

Then you realize you want a node that stays at home.

Then you want one on your car.

And reachable from work.

Then you see that hill in the distance and think "that'd be a good spot".

Then you see the mountain on the horizon and wonder if you could hit a node up there.

Then all of a sudden you realize you've single handedly set up the infrastructure for your part of the state and are out more cash money than you told your partner and need a side hustle to afford to finish the second mesh you're building out.

What do you need 8 extra hours for? Affording the 8 other nodes you buy after your first one?

Ha, loser.

*glances over at 6 bash scripts and 2 cron jobs*

Not you, you're perfect

I just redid my bathroom. I could go 30 mins tops swinging a 3 pound hammer before I was done for the day.

Don't obliterate entries, correct in a way that the previous entry is still legible.

...fond memories?

I actually did attempt LFS about 15 years or so ago. I was actually quite proud to reach a usable CLI that I did myself. I promptly reinstalled Ubuntu once I got there because I was in college and needed to write a paper that was due in a few days.

What are these from?

I think it's just generic southwest, I would say more Arizona/Utah then anything else.
