It’s kind of the point here to occupy the video out as this is a server and has no screen connected otherwise. Normally it doesn’t need one.

Would’ve loved to gotten one of those. But the power consumption of a Xeon is a bit higher than I’d like. This was a nice to have, not need to. It was a Christmas gift from my wife 🥰

There is power/reset and power/hdd LEDs as well as a USB 3 header for mouse and keyboard and flash/disc emulation. That way you can mount an image and boot from that if you want. Super handy for re-installs or troubleshooting tools.

Exactly, it isn’t a replacement. It is redundancy in the form of a screen with keyboard and mouse directly connected, but accessibly from remote (my couch). It is far from my primary interface with the server.

It’s part of my PiKVM-kit. https://geekworm.com/products/pikvm-a8

It’s also PoE which is very nice.

All valid points! As I said, very subjective. Good on you for doing your thing!

Not to be that guy, but I don’t really find the picture that amazing. 5/10. It’s a rally car. Probably har to compose for and get in focus as it’s moving fast so props for that.

Possible improvements:

  • The picture is kind of dark and lackluster. Lifting the shadows and increasing the contrast a bit might help.
  • There is no real sense of speed. Slowing down the shutter speed a fraction and tracking the car would give some background motion blur.
  • The background doesn’t tell us much. A bit tighter crop might make us see more detail in the car instead.

Obviously all of this is my subjective opinion. Take it for what it is. A strangers opinion on the internet. Thank you for sharing!

As a person that’s been rolled into smartphones via work (iPhone 3Gs) and then never daily driven an Android, but always thought it might be more to my liking, I’m aghast. How can this be accepted? I now understand why large botnets often is comprised of Android devices.

So there is no central framework for pushing fixes to urgent fixes? Patching zero-days?

Surely Android provides security updates?
