Agreed.

French alternative: Vivlio. Ebooks, ereadera and cloud sync.

A good addition would be Cryptpad. Europeans hosted (french) fully encrypted and complete office suite as well as PM tools (Kanban, whiteboard), Diagrams (visio) and Code editors.

I bought a distiller for €60 capable of distilling 4 liters of water (about 1 gallon) en generates some heat. The electricity cost is way lower than buying 4 liters of distilled water, don’t need to throw away a 4 liter plastic bottles every time and the distiller heats up my room in the winter (when the air is dryest here).

The camera would need to have its IR filter removed which some mobile optical zoom lenses seem to have removed?! If the lidar would be stationary it would render the lidar beam unsafe for human eyes as well. Most lidars have a beam that is harmful if pointed directly for a longer period than you would blink if looking directly into something rally bright. Because they are infrared you don’t have that reaction. Therefore it is mounted on a very fast moving rotary disc. Most of the time the disc itself is also tilting up and down or refracted by a mirror or glass to get a bigger field-of-view". This article is saying, you can destroy a camera by pointing a laser in the sensor. Yeah, dûh but the lidar won’t break it, unless using a zoomed in sensor which seem to have its IR removed in some mobile cams. So yeah it can happen… Edit: looked at the reddit video some phones with IR filter removes from zoomed in lensen can have problems.

Yes! You can provider any path available to the user

I use Syncthing for this. This is peer-to-peer syncing so you don’t need a cloud service in between. Works well on all platforms.

I also use filen for encrypted cloud storage and nextcloud for mulitfunctional cloud storage and can work fine as well but nextcloud is much more complex and CPU intensive so the pi might struggle with certain operations as it retains much more information (databases and such).

Rpi4 can work with Syncthing (tested) because it works as a local webserver so you only need an OS with a browser (or do it all in the terminal). Doesn’t really matter which OS you use, most will work so Raspberry Pi OS for the pi is fine. Syncthing is in the official repo of Fedora and Opensuse.

That domain isn’t in use (yet?)

If reviews are good i’d definitely try it as an upgrade to my trusty Logitech Ergo M575

I know at least one kind that had a high degree of aluminium in it. But you also have cheaper kinds that dont have that.

What about heatsink thermal paste?

Did this using iodéOS which is a LineageOS distro with more degoogling and os level adblock and filtering build in. Works very well and has been stable for about the 4 heads that its running on my FP4.

I use Qwant, which is an actual alternative instead of Bing fronts hosted in France. Searx (like on disroot) is also an alternative but lesser relevant searches.

Check out iode.tech as well. Like /e/OS, also a lineage OS variant but with build in firewall which you can customize (or turn off). Fast security updates and great default informed FOSS apps (unlike /e/OS).

The combining of subscriptions i s exactly why I like liftoff as well. Used a couple other clients, but Liftoff seemed the most stable and easy for me.
