        Might do so with an rPi for a fully contained / powered system. Hey, .... why not?!

        Battery powered!

        Battery (18650s)
        Solar rechargable
        SDR radio
        VHF/UHF HT for Packet radio

        Sigh,... and the list grows.

          Ohh Ohh Ohh.

          Please add this. This has been on my project list forever but just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Something about kids needing to be fed or something.

            That OF thread is a perfect example of the state of things. Guy posts that his OF doesn't update. Um, of course not, they've been without updates for something like seven years now. That was the huge beef with them that they built on a useless, dead end OS that went out of business. There is nothing to update. I'm guessing he's run his critical storage for most of a decade without ever trying to update it before?

                Why would I want a cell phone on this thing?

                I can think of 2 reasons off of the top of my head.

                1. Your own cell phone. Don't have to worry about Google monitoring you with Android and more.
                2. Home Assistant with this could turn into an alarm system that can alert you if somebody was to break the hard line.

                      You know.. I never thought I would need 3 or even 4 monitors, but sitting here, working today, I realize that I could easily use 3 if not 4.

                      Assuming a 2 by 2 grid, The bottom two would be my main windows, ML on one monitor, another browser on the other for research. The top two would hold on going installs or something I'm monitoring, or email, etc.

                      I'm sitting here right now installing updates on XS, each one takes around 6 mins. so I bring up telegram to hit JB up with a question, and have ML on the other monitor, then I bring email up over the XS upgrade... so now i can't easily see the upgrade when it's done...

                        I have 3 27" monitors and a 40" TV being used as a monitor. I really want to just get 3 more 27"ers so I can stack them but I am pretty sure my husband would say no to that one 😛

                          why? If they serve a purpose, they are worth while.

                            👍 Go for 7 monitors, more monitors is always better. Says the guy who used to work with Silicon Graphics equipment.

                              I actually could use them. As some windows apps finally get better I am having to use 2 completely different computer setups less and less. 6 monitors to keep track of all the social media stuff, management stuff etc. isn't a stretch to prove the need for them 😉

                                OK crazy me - 27 updates for XenServer 7... did the first 20'sh by hand.. then tried XO, the last 6 or so all went in at once though XO...

                                gotta remember, even though I barely have need for XO, that feature is kinda worth it.

                                  Frankly, it's all I use. XenCenter? Forgetaboutit.

                                          The mount isn't the issue, it's $200'ish per decent monitor that makes it costly.
                                          I'd only have 5 at max on mine... 4 for me and the 5 as my other screen for repairing desktops.

                                            I have 3 27" monitors and a 40" TV being used as a monitor. I really want to just get 3 more 27"ers so I can stack them but I am pretty sure my husband would say no to that one 😛

                                            why? If they serve a purpose, they are worth while.

                                            I actually could use them. As some windows apps finally get better I am having to use 2 completely different computer setups less and less. 6 monitors to keep track of all the social media stuff, management stuff etc. isn't a stretch to prove the need for them 😉

                                            The mount isn't the issue, it's $200'ish per decent monitor that makes it costly.
                                            I'd only have 5 at max on mine... 4 for me and the 5 as my other screen for repairing desktops.

                                            Yeah that is an issue. I just need an awesome vendor to sponsor the MQ needs 3 more IPS monitors and a Mount fund! 🙂
