@Creat When I said I had one Pi lifetime that was shortened it was a way of saying yes, it died from 24/7 high load no fan overheating. Now it just boot and freezes after a couple of minutes.
Then, yes, back in the days when overclocking and over powering was a thing, CPU actually died from all that, I changed a few for customers that didn’t know better. How ironic I did that to myself years later with little arm boards, isn’t it?
@sjmarf And now someone is preparing a PR on C#’s GitHub issues… well done, well done.
@ddash The fan is just sitting on top of the case, mostly centered as the turbine opening is slightly smaller than the case itself.
The duct shoots air horizontally in the general direction of another of a LibreComputer Lepotate. I take that as a bonus.
@merthyr1831 Pretty much anything you have at hand will do 👍
@Cat Cross Greece off the VPN servers pool… 😉
No, the highest temperature I have ever recorded was 76°C. Without fan, and using thermal pads to connect the case to components.
But I hate high numbers, excessive heat already shortened a Pi lifetime here, since then I am very cautious about that.
@cyrano UK : round knives bad, encryption bad, privacy bad… for your own good.
@lka1988 @Lem453 Primarily a frontend tool designed to make your life easier, torsion.org/borgmatic , but I tend to avoid macros, frontend scripts, or even GUIs like this. They may obscure Borg-specific configuration details that, hypothetically, could one day hinder your restoration process.
Update: I have borrowed a Nuc N150 from a colleague, he swapped it for a tower desktop (not powerful enough for gaming, I don’t care about gaming). I may very well end up buying it from him for cheap.
Else I have a few used Lenovo M910q with i7 in the 230€ range on eBay, that will do
Wow I do need an upgrade from the pi4 🤯
@M33 @evidences Ok, so it is a very good option because it is really cheap compared to new devices. Thanks :)
@zlatiah Best comment in this thread: " Can we retag Trump’s golf courses as Golf of Mexico? " 🤣
@3aqn5k6ryk Intressting, with nice Mac Pro trashcan vibes 🤭 it is close to what I have in mind, thanks !
@RagingToad The microsd that killed one of my Pi (a Pi3) didn’t overheat, it just literally exploded, one face of the plastic case was split in two. My conclusion is that i was creating a short circuit, and damaged the Pi board.
Before I got cooling right, two Pi were really overheating, one died (actually it boots, but freeze). Then I started using radiators or metal cases using the whole case as a dissipator. And a slow fan on top of that for Pi4 and Pi5.
I would totally look at a NUC by Intel, I’m not restricted to Chinese mini pc at all. Actually I’m looking at Intel NUC but they are like twice the price of other mini pc… so I’m still investigating.
@CameronDev Yes, that’s a good idea, second hands will be fine 🤔
@that_leaflet Great, does a PhD in graphics still needed to edit an image like a 15s work in Paint ? 😜
@JaymesRS Well, now there is Apple Maps and OpenStreetMap…
