I’ve been thinking of replacing my Synology with one of these!

Yup, I did some on-campus IT work while I was in college and it was super trivial to detect when people would have their own networks in the dorms

I spun up a MQTT/Aedes/MongoDB stack on my network recently for some ESP32 sensors.

Fantastic protocol and super easy to work with!

Good tip. I’ve tried a little air-layering in the past with this plant, but personally found more success with water propagation.

I do have a juvenile deliciosa that I plan to use a plank with as soon as it’s large enough.

Venti water, extra ice, room for creamer should do it

Can’t comment on Linux compatibility. But on my windows PC I use a Gulikit King Kong 2 Pro. Really like it so far, no major issues, pretty good battery life.

The Framework laptop brand gives me hope.

Unfortunately they still seem have a relatively high cost for their performance. But you can’t beat the modular design.

Also the current Linux offerings for Apple Silicon (M1/M2) are very much “Beta”. And have some serious battery efficiency issues, don’t currently support audio drivers, have some peripheral problems, etc.

Looking forward to using one once they get them up to speed though.
