As a sys admin with a lot of experience, I am still unsure how to maintain and update my lemmy instance. So I am revisiting again, but it seems like we need work on the lemmy docker containers and possibly docker-compose.

    Not sure where I ask, I figure here might be good.

    I want a digital picture frame that has some sort of API to update. I'm not picky on what as long as I can add and remove content from code. Like an actual Dropbox App integration would be fine too, where whatever files I put in a folder automatically get added to the rotation. Most of them I've seen are along the lines of "login to this terrible web site to manage pictures" or "pull out SD card or plug computer to frame to update".

    I don't even mind hosting, like if I give a URL that returns a list of other images to rotate through or something. Fine, that works.

    I am aware I could do this with a Pi and any LCD, but I would like a single hardware unit that someone else makes pretty.

    Competitions. In college I did the ACM ICPC and trained hard with my schools programming team.

    These days I do advent of code, which will start on Dec 1. But you can go fo previous years now. It is great.

    I am not buying an EV until they are using LFP batteries. LiFePo4 have so much more life...I really don't want to be replacing huge banks of lithium ion in 5 years.

    Some manufacturers seem to be getting on board with this. Disappointing that hedge clipper (what I know Fisker for) here isn't one of them. Sorry..that is Fiskar, a totally different company.

    I have two systems that I need to replace. One is my backup server, which runs FreeBSD and uses some USB attached drives. Really that could be done with anything that is like a Pi, except amd64/x86.

    The other is my pfSense router. It is having some hardware issue, which isn't surprising, I pulled parts out of my scrap pile to make it. For that, I need something that can take an pcie card for my dual 10g network card. Does anyone have any ITX or smallish machines they like? Actual smallness doesn't matter so much as not being expensive.

    How do people go about finding things these days? I used to use newegg, but mostly now it seems to be a trap of accidentally ordering parts from the moon. Amazon is fine if you know exactly what you want already. Pcpartspicker works well, if you are building a full system from parts (which I do for bigger machines) but I don't know where to get barebones boxes.

     

    Ok, there is this candy (pictured) which is Family Foods International brand Coconut Candy (the green bag). It is very much not fancy but also very much hard to find on the mainland.

    Would someone be willing to go to the store, buy about 10 bags and mail them to me in Washington state?

    I'll pay up front with Zelle or ETH or BCH or Monero or even (Paypal). Happy to pay cost of product plus shipping plus $50 for your troubles.
