@tootbrute I can't yet wean off my primary server until some more heavyweight systems are supported (namely Nextcloud and GitLab, maybe Plex or Kodi), but I've found it extremely promising to use (and easy to install/configure) lighter-weight services such as web-hosting, proxies and VPNs, contact/calendar sync, etc. In fact, the kit they offer using the Olimex board handles a surprising number of simultaneous services given the small form factor.

@zeh @cjd I personally like the TERES-I from Olimex. The specs are currently more reflective of the original Pinebook, except the laptop is just about as open/libre as can be. All the design files are created with KiCad and there is even a 3D-printable enclosure available.

I've just stumbled across this channel but I really like the way the presenter explains features and technical pros/cons of various & boards. For example, here is a recent unboxing and review of the @olimex@fosstodon.org OSHW-certified ESP32-POE-ISO board: youtube.com/watch?v=O3-UaSKSFu

The new daily mantra of Amazon Alexa owners?
“Alexa, delete everything I said today”.

@natjlevy reports you can now delete recordings with a simple voice command, but sadly only a partial day's worth.“ Alexa, delete what I just said” also works. geekwire.com/2019/now-can-eras

#FreeSoftware has a lot of potential in the developing world.

In rural India, 12 villages use #FreedomBox to host free digital services. Activists have re-purposed old computers into FreedomBoxes, mounted them on posts, and served entire villages with free wi-fi and digital services.

These rural #FreedomBox networks got covered in the Times of India.
