I’m in the same boat. You’ll get better responses if you post your machine specs. I

So I think there were a few issues.

• the original pinephone was basically too slow to be usable
• there were a few hardware quirks that had to be fixed in software but made mainlining drivers for it difficult
• the lack of community updates (and you could argue overall community management) caused some developers to move away while also impeded pine64s ability to attract new developers
• the lack of any sort of funding for developers made it difficult for people to work on as any more than a hobby (not necessarily pine64’s fault, but it’s the reality)
• poor battery life (better idle and sleep support would have been software issues but the hardware was designed to be cheap instead of really useful)
• daily driving Linux on a phone is a poor experience - not pine64s fault but there’s a bunch of support missing in Linux that needs to be developed before early adopters can really use Linux phones. Modem power management, audio switching between Bluetooth and speaker, MMS support, camera support, etc.

I have a minisforum v3 that I’m not using - just don’t love the surface style form factor. I’m willing to sell it for a good price if anyone is interested. Based in USA. Feel free to DM me

If you’re only doing a VM or two, I’d get rid of proxmox and run truenas directly. It’s gotten better for VMs.

Also make sure you read up on the ecc requirements for truenas if you’re not using ecc ram

Oh man the extension for merging nodes is going to be fantastic. A few weeks ago I was using inkscape to clean up some dxf drawings I exported from some CAD models. Each line segment was just overlapping and not actually connected. I had to come up with some convoluted work flow to select and merge the nodes manually. Super excited that this exists now

I’d recommend the sengled ZigBee bulbs. They’re cheap, reliable, and have good colors. Ive been using many for years without issue.

The IKEA bulbs will also work. I’ve tried them in the past, but didn’t like them. I found they were too dim at full brightness. Also, their colors are much much worse then the sengled bulbs, especially the “greens” (I say this in quotes because the best the IKEA bulbs can do is a pitiful color that’s 85% yellow and 15% green).

They did it. Those crazy bastards actually did it

Oh this looks very useful for organizing datasheets and dev references, will definitely give this a shot. Thanks and nice work!

Did you expose your router login page to the open internet? How’d they get access? Why are you chmoding anything to be 777?
