Well the current models that cost per output sure love wasting those tokens on telling me how I am the greatest human being ever that only asks questions which get to the very heart of $SUBJECT.

Can you expand on the applications you deployed kea in?

Arcanum is an awesome game. Shame the OST was never released on vinyl.

Worth qualifying as Prey (2017). Somewhat related[1] to Prey(2006) which is also a great game. Chris did not work on the 2006 one.

[1]: it's complicated.


Yes, the 2017 one is what I mean.

I think the overlapping names might even be why I overlooked it. Didn’t realize it was a new game.


IIRC it was supposed to be a sequel for 2006 one at some point, but some development and name rights shenanigans happened.

When it was developed as a sequel, the story was completely different.


Built a NAS last winter using the same case. Temps for HDDs used to be in mid-50s C with no fan and about 40 with the stock fan. The case-native backplane thingamajig does not provide any sort of pwm control if the fan is plugged in, so it's either full blast or nothing. I swapped the fan for a Thermalright TL-B12 and the HDDs are now happily chugging along at about 37 with the fan barely perceptible. Hddfancontrol ramps it up based on the output of smartctl.

Case can actually fit a low-profile discrete GPU, there's about half height worth of space.

Got a new network switch that runs somewhat hot (TP-Link) and it's behaving the same way, built-in fan runs either not at all, or at 100% (and noisy at that). Installed OpenWRT on it briefly, before discovering 10Gbe NIC didn't work with OpenWRT, and it had much better fan control. Why is it so hard to just place a basic curve on the fan control based on the hardware temperature? All the sensors and controllers are there apparently, just a software thing...


I have an impression that both noise level and power consumption are not a priority for home network equipment manufactures. After moving to a new house and connecting to another ISP I've got an ISP modem-router which: 1. has a fan and while it's quiet it's not silent 2. consumes around 20 Wt, not much but working 24x7 it would cost around £45/year at current electricity rates.

I think it's technically possible to make a modem which will consume less power and use passive coiling but I don't think they (ISP and device manufacturer) care.


FWIW, there's a step by step soldering guide in the readme:

It looks doable, but of course a lot of carefulling is required when placing the components.


Are you running a Radxa x4 or something else?


No, I’ve got something much bigger than the rpi form factor, but still very small in absolute terms, it isn’t a beelink, but something quite similar.


Power supplies may fail in a cascading manner. Unless it's something like a fuse that was blown due to a known external event, one broken component can take out a couple of friends with it.

If you can get a new board for 40$, that's probably the best course of action.


It's a prominent element of the civilization of Ardrites from the planet of Enteropia; see "Sepulkaria"


There are IM groups where folks mail around breakout boards. There is, AFAIK, no point to the board after the inital rooting.


Yeah I just found someone on reddit who no longer needed their breakout board, so I sent them a shipping label and that was that.
