I’m inclined to agree. I wasn’t a fan when I tried it on my EOL one as an option.

If you need to keep the budget down, you could probably find an end of service 2 in 1 Chromebook and make it a chultrabook.

Product page doesn’t state of the pcie m2 slot can be used for an SSD either, but it does list options for 2 emmcs options.

Oh snap! There’s an AppImage now https://community.ui.com/releases/WiFiman-Desktop-0-2-2/74d8bc1d-6735-444b-a7fc-0ea2584ccb89

I do. It’s nice. Just earlier I used teleport to remote in and setup a docker container, while out. It’s certainly the biggest advantage to me, having a one click/tap VPN connection to a network. It’s helped me out several times at home and work.

potato bread/buns are great! Try it if you ever get a chance

You should be able to run other desktop apps too, through libertine. Though, to be fair, my only time testing it was on a pinetab 1 and it was a feature not yet fully working at that time. I cannot confirm how well it works now

Why not split the difference and do both. Hdd for storage and SSD for services/containers. To help with the power load/performance hit I’d recommend using a usb to sata adapter that has external power. Overall though it sounds like a micro optipl x would be great for you. They’re cheap, more powerful, but still sip power, and usually can fit nvme and 2.5" drives together.

Is the Hba in a traditional server case with lots of airflow? My 9207-8i displayed a similar issue bc it didn’t have enough direct cooling (it’s not in a traditional server/case.) it would never show more than 2 drives at a time and they would often vanish. Once I mounted a fan to it, the Hba has been stable and showing every drive I attach

I tell people, like my friend that wanted a bunch of drivel kids stuff, that if they give me 2 hard drives I’ll set them up as their own library.

That’s unfortunate you have to put in a ticket. They should be able to help you with this during a 5-10m phone call. Hopefully they get to your ticket in a timely manner

Can the ISP at the remote location remove your remote location from the NAT? I have a similar issue where sometimes it’s will reset and my services are inaccessible. A quick call to support usually has the problem fixed in a few minutes.

Fishwaldo is pretty active in the #pinetab chat from what I’ve seen. If you have matrix, discord, or irc you could jump into the pine64 chats and ask him

Good to know! I’ll probably go with the open scanner then

Fair enough!

Thanks for the advice! Shame about the CR, but the OpenScan would be more in line with my goal of using my existing equipment. Thanks! I’ll be sure to get some of that spray too!

This could definitely work! I could likely get the parts needed printed at the library or local college! Thanks!

Good to know! I’ll have to see if I have any scanning companies in my area and if they’ll work with hobbies projects

Yea! Heck even this one would likely work https://store.creality.com/products/cr-scan-ferret-se-3d-scanner
