Living offgrid in a campervan since 2018 w/ pibble+boxer Muffin.

I wrestled with the choice between these two earlier this week. I liked the aesthetics of the T000E better. It’s slightly smaller and also friendlier-looking to my eyes (less likely to cause concern from muggles?) The Tag has a Death Star vibe…
But after shipping to my location the Tag was actually cheaper and has a theoretical battery capacity advantage. I’ll have the GPS turned off so the Tag’s greater GPS suck won’t be a factor. So I got the Tag. We will see.
Just don’t lose those fancy charging cables!
My understanding is that it’s a generic-ish 4 Pin 7.62mm interface used on smartwatches, etc. (example). I’ve read that people with both the T1000e and Rak Tag can use the cables interchangeably. I don’t have both so I can’t confirm.
I bought one of these from Etsy six months ago and it’s been working perfectly.
Glad to hear it. I bought the smaller variant (1 panel, 18650) a couple days ago. I’m traveling so it’ll take another couple weeks to catch up with me through my mail forwarder.
it’s great for at least two scenarios. If your local cell towers stop working
A related scenario: if there wasn’t cell coverage at a location at all. Boondockers sometimes camp in areas with no cell coverage, or coverage that only works with cell boosters or LTE/5G routers with external antennas on the roof of their rigs.
If you’re going to a protest or other event where you would prefer not to be tracked or monitored
Given the state of play in the U.S. I wouldn’t blame them…
Kinda like how mqtt works, except your own private relay?
Newbie here, but isn’t that what MQTT Proxy on a private channel is for?
I’m running MythTV front/back on a Pi4 with one of those generic handheld keyboards. Power consumption is important to me because I live off solar power in a campervan.
If the Pi4 died tomorrow I’d probably replace it with a ~NUC.
In my case once a tab fails to load it will generally never load no matter how many times I reload the tan. I can close that tab and paste the same URL into a different tab and it works fine.
Ncdu
I learn something new every day. I’ve been running du -a | sort -rn | head like some kind of animal. ncdu runs very fast on my systems and shows me what I want to see. Thanks!
Do you think servers have it easy compared to personal computers? No pesky audio/video cards, bluetooth, etc…
My server upgrade to Trixie had no issues. That’s good because it’s several thousand miles away on another continent… My laptop had a few burps with ranger, jekyll, and autokey that required googling.
I see a lot of complaints about various issues stemming from an upgrade. I do not remember this many after an LTS Ubuntu version
Selection bias? I suspect Debian folks are more likely to notice problems and start looking for bug reports, talking about it, etc. Like my dorky blog entry above.
I set up my ex-MIL with Mint and it worked fine. Also gave my 70-something father a Mint USB and he installed it on his own.
I’ve used other distros for that purpose in the past but since they no longer exist I’m not listing them.
She is getting her masters in nursing online so it def needs to be able to accommodate that
I’d check to see if any proprietary software is required, if there is a linux or at least WINE-friendly version available. Hopefully it’s all web-based so no proprietary stuff needed.
I remember the Franklin Ace but this is the first i’ve heared of the Mimic Spartan.
When I was three I wandered off and got my feet stuck in a muddy creek. My parents said my dog stayed with me and barked until I was found.
don’t get me started on golf courses and the municipalities that enable them
Jaysus, this is why mods should be able to limit visibility to subscribers only.
if it controlled redistricting
IMO no party should control redistricting.
After all the dog hair I’ve ingested over the past 50-odd years I ought to be at least and honarary part-dog.
How often do you get your dogs nails trimmed?
I trim my dog’s nails about every 2-3 weeks. She tolerates it because I give her a mini marshmallow after each paw. I regularly touch her paws in non-trimming activities to get her used to it. She went from fear to something like annoyance.
I used to have a greyhound that was so used to handling from the track that he would fall asleep while I dremeled his nails.
Neat concept. I got killed by the statue. :-/

my nickname in college was Floppy Surprise
Thanks for the heads up. I’m surprised it made that that much of a difference.
It’s cool that you submitted it to the project. I appreciate it!
