Personally, I use Cloud-Init for automation. Its wide support across various cloud platforms and ease of use make it my go-to tool for initial server provisioning. It simplifies the process, allowing me to get things up and running quickly without needing additional dependencies.

New comment by tobijkl in "Seven Teslas have caught fire in the last four days"

tobijkl — Tue, 24 May 2022 06:30:38 +0000

Most of the car fires I have heard of are caused by incorrectly installed auxiliary components due to incorrect fuses and unsuitable cable diameters. This is a phenomenon that probably does not affect Tesla at all.

As long as there are still some vehicles with human drivers on the roadways, congestion will not change.

New comment by tobijkl in "Raspberry Silicon update: RP2040 on sale now at $1"

tobijkl — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 10:46:00 +0000

The documentation is excellent, and the Programmable I/O (PIO) is a unique feature. Still, the lack of WiFi and Bluetooth makes the RP2040 uninteresting for me compared to the ESP32 in a DIY project. With the ESP32, I can quickly throw in a web interface and use Over-The-Air updates. I think they missed the opportunity to position them against the ESP32.

Buy a Raspberry Pi and take a look at your local recycling center. You can find some quite decent monitors (even HDMI), keyboards, and mice in their electronic scrap bin for free.

New comment by tobijkl in "Kivy: Cross-Platform Python Framework for UI Development"

tobijkl — Mon, 21 Dec 2020 01:04:35 +0000

I love the idea of Kivy, an open-source, community-driven, cross-platform framework, but flutter delivers much nicer mobile apps, and QT a far better desktop apps. I do not think that I have ever used a cross-platform app that works as well on desktop as on mobile.

New comment by tobijkl in "Building the Worlds First V8 Swapped Tesla"

tobijkl — Mon, 21 Dec 2020 00:55:01 +0000

Since it is a used motor in a used Tesla chassis, which you can not buy replacement parts for, I guess it is probably more environmentally friendly than buying a new tesla even he is burning dinosaur juice.

For the German autobahn, a V8 is also more suitable.

New comment by tobijkl in "Ledger takes 'privacy extremely seriously' after user DB leak"

tobijkl — Mon, 21 Dec 2020 00:38:55 +0000

Well, I would have preferred it if they had taken privacy "extremely seriously" before the leak. It is only their customer database that has been leaked, but can I trust their ledger with my bitcoins if they can not even secure a simple database?

New comment by tobijkl in "How and why I stopped buying new laptops"

tobijkl — Mon, 21 Dec 2020 00:27:40 +0000

At least in my bubble, even professional developers, video editors, and audio engineers use a desktop computer as their primary daily driver and do not rely on their laptop for computational power rather than as a medium for presenting their work. Some of them are even switching to tablets for presenting to clients. A desktop computer will always offer more computational power and a more straightforward and cheaper update path. Why update a perfectly well-working laptop for a newer model when you have become accustomed to the quirks and features of your current device.
