I think that the era of platform locked internal tools is close to being over, at least for smaller organizations.

AI sucks for innumerable reasons, but the ability to create internal tooling for specialized systems is now something that organizations of smaller and smaller sizes can now take advantage of. IE, write a printer interface that does xyz for our machine and integrates with CUPS instead of a windows print server. Now we can save a Windows server license and an expensive proprietary software license.

AI is still absolutely terrible though. Never open a port to anything vibe coded ever.

Clonezilla can do that for you. Very easy, very reliable.

I’m not saying you have to do it but you can get the standard Microsoft fonts on Linux, they are just an extra download.

A FOSS lemmings clone.

Thank you. I’m not too worried about installation as long as they fit in the outlet box. I’ll look into these.

North America yes. I’ll look at Innovelli.

Oh yeah if AV1 is so great how come there isnt an AV tw…oh wait…

USB ssds seem to have a lot of weird issues being used for a nas drive. Sometimes its a power management thing on the SSD itself, sometimes its something odd with the USB controller on the host. Occasionally the power supply of the sff pc doesnt have enough amps for all of the peripherals. Using an intermediary like a usb hub makes all of these issues worse since you add another device with its own potential conflicts.

Not to say its not possible to do, but USB drives and NAS’s rarely play nice together.

Does anyone know if there are any plans to port this to raspberry pi?
