The distinction in actual usage between using cloud, server, and homelab to describe their setup seems to be rooted in their purpose. * Home Lab :: Running a partial/full enterprise IT stack for fun and education. * Home Server :: Running primarily internal services like file storage, backups, media streaming, home automation, maybe some light networking. * Home Cloud :: Running primarily external services on the pub…

if you run a "home cloud" on a raspberry pi 2/3/4 or an orange pic or something else entirely and it fails, will your "cloud" go down with the hardware? If does go down then it's not cloud, no matter what hardware you're using. In general, my rule of thumb is: what's the upper limit, the capacity or your wallet? If the limit is the capacity, then it's HA. If the limit is your wallet, then it's cloud.

My synology nas emails me every time it is down and every time Amazon or Comcast are down.

Last I checked, Amazon had the fewest 9s of the three (going back a few years...)

I suppose a future AV improvement will be to upgrade eyeballs; iSpheres anyone?

Yeah, with DRM that blanks out copyrighted content you haven't paid to watch, and reinserts adverts that your adblocker removed. And they'll remove the optic nerve connector in favour of Bluetooth that will allow them to be 0.1mm thinner, and be wireless! Ps did you miss iBalls on purpose?

I think Apple would go with iSpheres, it sounds more expensive.

they are better, modern, more efficient and cheaper CPUs in 2019 the fact that they decided to go with a 2015 inefficient one is kinda strange

>>they are better, modern, more efficient and cheaper CPUs in 2019 Name one?

They're possibly thinking about something like the Amlogic S922X. A 12nm SoC with Quad A73 and Dual A53, its definitely more modern and more efficient, though "better" is pretty subjective. As implemented in the Odroid N2 [0], its not cheaper at $79 with 4GB RAM, compared to Raspi 4's $55 (or $63 and $45 for 2GB, respectively). Hard to say if they cut the board down to remove all the things Raspi doesnt support and scaled up to Raspi scale if they could match the price. If not, it'd likely be close.

I know we're talking video here but I wanted to share something. My father just got a new set of 'ears', he's been going deaf. They are titanium studs that are implanted into the bone just behind the ear, about the size of pencil erasers. They work through bone conduction. The hearing part are replaceable electronics that snap on and off the studs. The current gen are about the size of a quarter and are bluetooth cap…

There are some earphones that use bone conductance, but this sounds like a special case.

If hearing is down to tiny hairs in your ear resonating with the audio frequency, I would have thought being hard of hearing was down to those hairs not being able to function properly. How does bone conductance audio get around that? Does it use a different sense?

My eyesight is also going, I have to rub my eyeball on the phone screen like one of those anti-deorderant balls, I daresay my hearing will be next.

Wow that’s amazing

Def getting one. The rasps are miles ahead of the rest on support. So the upgraded hw on top of that makes it a front runner in my books

Did anyone figure out what to do with failing SD cards and USB keys? I gave up trying to reinstall everything on my Pi after (almost) every power loss.

I'm happy to see the 4GB RAM and better overall performance now available for a mere $55. I admin over a dozen RPis at work for signage and sometimes they barely keep up, but as a non-profit, we don't have the budget for much else. We can afford the new Pis, however, so I will likely be upgrading them this year. I'll likely buy one for home to replace my aging Pi-hole.

Are you using web apps or presentation software for signage?

We use Screenly. It's rather basic and managed from a cloud account that can see the devices. There is no SSH or other "admin" access beyond the Web GUI that allows you to name/rename/remove and group screens based on their onsite locations for common signage. We've had issues with them and I'm looking for software to replace Screenly that will run on Raspbian or other Unix-like ARM OS.

Dont break their delusions that "the cloud" is the prefect place were there is no down time, no security issues...

If you pay enough money to run things on their computers all problems are solved. it is only when you self host that is the problem :)
