Why would these be good options in Canada?

Only the first Cube is worth watching, but it’s very good!

That’s a bad take, there will always be people who will say we can never afford it. The real question should be ‘can we afford not to’ as people live and die in miserable conditions.

Having yt-dlp save the videos to S3 will just add to your costs - what benefit will it provide to your users to get the file from S3 compared to Youtube?

While ‘cloud computing’ is managing servers in the cloud like EC2, they’re still just servers like you’d run in your lab. To do it the ‘cloud way’, use the cloud services instead.

My suggestion would be a price checker - create a webpage maybe with S3 or Lightsail where users can enter in a URL for a product, an email address and a scrape recurrence time like 24hours, then have Lambda scrape the page & email the price to the user on that schedule. Use DynamoDB (or a relational DB like Postgresql) to save the results, schedule, etc.

Try not to use EC2 at all if possible. Or instead of EC2, use EKS if scraping with Lambda is too difficult.

The most important thing is getting the security right, from your access to AWS to ensuring your database isn’t easily downloaded by just anyone.

This isn’t the Raspberry Pi Imager - it’s a tool to build custom images. From the GitHub: A tool to generate highly customised software images for Raspberry Pi devices.

Have you tried the Raspberry Pi Image Generator?

Substance was probably my favourite. I haven’t heard of Bramayugam, looking forward to checking it out!

Nice job trying to avoid the burden of proof.

So where are the reputable news sources for this claim?

Looks like it took inspiration from the Tachikoma!

Someone who doesn’t use the distro is saying a tool ‘is a must’ when I do use the distro and have never needed it. You do you, but the point of my original comment was that it’s a valid distro for Europeans wanting a non-US option. Doesn’t mean you need to like it or use, but others might.

So you find Gnome & KDE ugly? I’ve never needed to use Yast for any system configuration. Having BTFRS with snapshots as default makes it a great distro.

SUSE/OpenSUSE seems like a much more European option

What ‘domestic ev’s do we even have?

Does anyone have experience with Waterbird based in Waterloo, Ontario?

I’m used to printing with eSUN but haven’t had a 3d printer in a while and not sure where to get it any longer (based in Toronto). I’ve got a Prusa Core One coming soon though so looking to start getting filaments again!

75179, Kyle Ren’s TIE Fighter. Up next, the 8087 TIE Defender. They’ve both been sitting in storage for too long.

Shorthand is hard to learn from and hard to troubleshoot in complicated scripts.

So what? It’s still relevant.

How do I find it? There are no links in your posts or in the sidebar.

From the Windows side (assuming you’re using Windows to connect, considering it’s RDP and not VNC), you can open PowerShell and test to see if the Raspberry Pi is even listening for RDP connections with:

Test-NetConnection x.x.x.x -port 3389

Replace x.x.x.x with the IP address of the Raspberry Pi. If it shows successful, then the Raspberry Pi is listening for RDP connections.

Do you know what RDP package you installed, and what operating system you’re running (Bookworm, Bullseye, etc)? I don’t have a raspberry pi with a desktop to test on, but if you’re using xrdp you could try:

sudo systemctl status xrdp

Does this give any input? If not, then you’ll need to know what package you installed to get RDP, assuming one is still installed even. If it does give you a message it might be a hint as to why it’s not working.

If you get output from the above command you can also try:

sudo journalctl -b | grep -C 2 xrdp

There are much better ways of searching journalctl but I’m a noob too. The -b returns only errors from the last boot time, the -C returns that many lines before and after a match is found.
