Unlikely, Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W is a microcontroller, not a computer. It runs either bare metal or an RTOS.

Sweden would like a word...

I recently closed down a VPS I had been running for the last 10 years. Mostly used it for hosting a personal website and some smaller other static sites, as well as git repo backups.

After getting into home assistant and setting up a proper home server I no longer saw a need to keep the VPS running. With cloudflare reverse proxy I can still host personal websites, but from inside my home network. Since getting the home server I'm discovering a lot of neat self hosted options and use it a lot more than I ever did the VPS. If nothing else, hosting your own stuff provides a great place to learn and explore. It doesn't have to be always on/on the internet for that to be true though.

My personal tier list is:

- Bandcamp

- CD

- 7digital

I host the media on a Jellyfin server and use offline playlists on my phone with Finamp for Android, works quite well for me!

Was going to reply that I would probably consider myself a power user of my Casio W-736. Features I use:

- Check the time (many times daily)

- Count-down timer (many times daily)

- Stop watch (weekly)

- Check date (a few times per month)

- Secondary time zone (rarely, since the people I care about are in the same time zone or 6h behind and easy enough to convert in my head)

I've had a fitbit in the past but had a hard time with having to charge it regularly, which often resulted in forgetting it at home. The added features did not outweigh the risk of being without it every now and then.

As long as I get an enhanced pet biscuit for my cat...

Maybe I lack imagination, but I doubt we'll be needing to address more than 18EB in personal computers for a while longer than 20 years.

Beating the GPU performance bump from 1080-1990 would be hard indeed...

As someone who one week ago switched from a Debian to NixOS setup, using docker compose, I'd be very interested in hearing more if you have any resources or tips to share.

I was hoping to move over to running rootless containers, but so far my HA setup has proven to be a pita to get working.

Also curious what MCUs you're working with to give you this impression?

RP2040 is 264k, RP2350 is 520k.

I use NXP's rt1060 and rt1170 for work, and they have 1M and 2M respectively, still quite far away from 16M and those are quite beefy running at 500MHz - 1GHz.

My approach for number 3 is to look at previous months and escrow money for it every month, and then pay it off once the bill comes due. From the accounting side you only see the monthly cost of the bill, even though it looks big on the bank statement.

"I use a single 12k mAh Anker battery bank".

Is it really? Or is it a 12G nAh battery bank?

I'm from one of those European countries and still also read it as it taking over a year to boot...
