Morning Walk, and the drama of the morning light already fades to grey, but we could see Cocoa and Milkshake, and yell a greeting. They are Davie the Crofter's calfies, of which he is very proud. They were named by his step-grandchildren, and even he doesn't know which is which,

Morning walk, and while the sky was on fire to the south east, to the west, the moon was setting over Meall Dearg, the Red Mound, living up to her name in the morning light.
(Quietly pleased with the timing of this pic!)

"UK owners of smart home devices being asked for swathes of personal data"
"This includes smart TVs that ask for users’ viewing habits and a smart washing machine that requires people’s date of birth."
I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Who would have thought a path of destroying consumer protections and becoming a flea on the bum of global capitalism would result in this? Still. worth it for blue passports, huh?

@Jkp @fitheach @tkenben You could do a simple Nextcloud on that no problem. Unless you were using the desktop sync utility, just use sqlite as the database to save memory, but postgresql would happily live in that space too. Strip down a standard install though to give you most room. The thing you will notice most is the single core you have rather than memory. Use pgp-fpm with ondemand for extra slickness and maybe lighttpd, as I do, rather than apache/nginx. 2p worth

@Jkp @fitheach @tkenben Maybe try it with postgresql rather than the usual mariadb/mysql. It seems to resolve many issues, including routine upgrade problems I used to get. Seems faster too.

Still chuffed with being able to check on our #offgrid home power system while we are away after The Great Power Monitoring Project of 2022.
It's silly, really, as there is nothing I can do if things look untoward, as we are a ferry and several hours away from home, but it's somehow comforting.
