What is your preferred option to donate to an open source project?

@lunduke It would also be useful to include a killswitch for the USB-C data pins to prevent unauthorized data transfer at questionable public charging stations.

Like Facebook, it turns out @Twitter has also used users' phone numbers provided for security reasons for advertising purposes.

Another example of why companies should not rely on SMS for 2-factor authentication, but instead use apps like @Authy. help.twitter.com/en/informatio

@mike thanks for a nice manual.
Replacing Pi with @olimex's #Lime and using #Mycroft it would be rather nice #DIY open source hardware and software #smartspeaker.

3D print a custom case for it and it might not even look to be DIY anymore.

@JackieLibre @olimex@fosstodon.org I'd be interested in checking it out. I actually created a rudimentary enclosure for this board several months ago (in OpenSCAD as well!) but didn't have the spare time to refine it. If you decide to publish it, I'll definitely take a look at it. I don't have a 3D printer available to me to test the prints, however, but I can see what I can do.

I was working on #3dprinted #enclosure for @olimex #Lime2

The SATA port does not fit as neatly as it could and the board is actually attached to the box with just one screw, but it works. 🙂

If anyone would like to print their own box or even better improve it, move the holes for ports and screws by a few milliliters, so they will fit more tightly, let me know and I will upload the #STL and #OpenSCAD files on GitLab, FramaGit or somewhere. :openhardware:

Vanilla @debian is installed/running on my @olimex@fosstodon.org TERES-I laptop via debian-installer. If you experience a black screen upon bootup, there is a workaround: remove the installation media at the debian-installer boot select menu. What does this mean? You can easily create your own installer media (a ~90MB image) to install the operating system the way it was designed to be installed. You don't need a custom image sourced from a vendor.

@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
