Well I certainly never expected my project's name to conflict with another "shitty static site generator" haha. I ended up swapping "shitty" for "stupid" however: https://github.com/esell/sssg
I started down the Go template route and quickly realized that pandoc + some other standard tools got me everything _I_ needed. It was a great learning experience for sure!
coming back, i stumbled over this while looking at options: https://docs.alephdata.org/. It is a bit more heavyweight than plain elasticsearch, but it has some nice additions that might make it worth it depending on your situation.
submitter here, just to be clear, i have no association with this company. i just happened to stumble across it today and thought others might enjoy it as well :)
While I love the idea, that price is totally insane. I don't see how anyone would be willing to pay that much for what is essentially a beta device. It seems that it is quite difficult to manufacture these devices, at a reasonable cost, without help from the big names :(
On the other hand, many people probably think the same about the "standard" Librem 5 price.
The people getting them already do so because they want the idea to have a chance, not because they're cheap or directly good value for money. Some might say "it's double than what I'd spend on an Android, but that's worth it" about the normal price, wouldn't be surprised if for others the reference frame is "2x iPhone" instead.
Yeah, the amount of data is pretty small in the grand scheme of things, maybe that is why i'm getting so hung up haha. Elasticsearch was actually the first thing I thought of so maybe I'll just go with that and see what happens...
Any real, day-to-day usage feedback on the PineBook Pro? I've looked around on their forum + reddit, and outside of a couple of reviews (mainly only a day or so into ownership), I haven't found much. This one seems to be the most in-depth so far: http://students.engr.scu.edu/~sschaeck/misc/pinebookpro.html
There aren't very many units out in the wild yet, I just received mine on Friday and I ordered late August.
There's some good and bad here, the hardware is surprisingly good for a $250 open source laptop (cost + shipping + taxes) but it's nowhere near as polished or usable as a comparable $250 Chromebook. The software is squarely beta quality so expect to spend time tracking updates, flashing firmware and doing things like patching u-boot from someone's github repo, etc.
Daily use annoyances: the touchpad is mediocre, battery drain while the machine is asleep is higher than I expected. Lots of things that should be possible (ARM hibernation support) aren't because rockchip based their kernel on 4.4 and the mainline upstreaming effort is slow moving.
Desktop performance is solid though, as is streaming video playback. Basic system performance is great, storage is fast, system is responsive etc.
Yeah, I'm not expecting a ton given the price point, I have my "real" machines for work.I would like an open and functional option for traveling, conferences etc though. Maybe it is because of delivery timelines or something, but I don't see many people reviewing these outside of initial unboxing type details...
This is a new product launch, the current users are reporting on the earliest units. The first normal pre-order batch should be shipping this week, and then I believe there are 2 more batches to be shipped until after the Chinese new year. The current preorder is the last for these units for several months.
The Pinebook Pro specs compare to a somewhat powerful 6-core arm SBC: 5V power input, easy to charge off a solar panel on your boat, IPS LCD panel, MALI gpu, 4gb Ram (SoC is maxed out, this could be upgradable: Original $99 Pinebook upgrade kits are coming in Q1 2020), 64GB MMC, wifi, no ethernet (use $9 dongle, case too thin), USB-C, a UART accessible from the headphone jack with a $7 dongle breakout thingy, optional $7 M.2 NVME daughter board. This is a (almost) fully opensource chromebook with a magnesium shell, and hardware privacy switches. 2 blobs afiak for Mali GPU and Bluetooth/wifi module. Hackable. Inexpensive accessories already exist with good availability. Replacement parts available, BSD according to the wiki.
Personally, I like reasonably powered home computing devices, I just put the stuff with all the fans in the closet. Maybe doing a huge compilation or git merge on the Pinebook hardware is gonna be slow. Full video and smartphone graphics should be fine. Connecting your Pinebook to a Pine64 cluster for big jobs is something you can do today and sounds like a summer project.
This client hardware seems pretty decent for two large bills. A specced Librem 15 is $2000 and could be eye watering if it falls off your boat again.
put together a tiny wifi hacking/testing stick with my pi zero w. i added a USB plug on it so i can just plug it into my laptop, ssh directly to it (not via wireless), and then use the wifi on the pi to do my wifi hijinx :).
this way i keep my host systems wifi "clean" and can use the pi zero as a standalone device without having to worry about power cables, wifi connections, etc.
Thanks for the response. Just curious, are you single or do you have a family who depends on your income? If the latter, how did your family handle the adjustment?
Unfortunately, my ex won most of our net worth in the divorce. (No kids.)
I remarried, though, and yes, I'm still the breadwinner, although at least my latest wife works.
That's kind of side details, though. If you have kids, you should try pretty hard to do right by them, in my opinion. Your wife, on the other hand, is perfectly able to get a job, too.
It's all balance. Your kids aren't going to be that happy if you're miserable.
