00:32:26 Rod: 😎 00:41:23 Rod: 👍 00:48:52 tonyc: afk 00:54:13 Rod: 👍 00:58:53 Rod: for grant, does this work in other terminal programs etc other than Xterm? 01:03:42 Tyler R: Prob me 01:03:56 Tyler R: You wanted topics 01:04:36 Rod: got it. thank you for the info 01:04:56 Tyler R: netboot.xyz 01:05:15 Tyler R: I figured 01:06:20 Tyler R: yeah, fighting bazite 01:12:03 Tyler R: Have you not been on youtube? 01:13:06 Steve Gomez: I'll be there (most likely). 01:15:04 Phil B: https://slsrc.org/2025/12/30/slsrc-winterfest-january-23-24-2026/ 01:32:31 Grant T.: Replying to "https://slsrc.org/20..." SLSRC Winterfest – January 23-24, 2026. Thank you for the link @Phil B  02:14:18 Steve Gomez: Replying to "https://slsrc.org/20..." Yes, the PI Imager does have a Linux version. However the version I have on my LM system must be one of the older ones because I recall that it installed, but never actually ran. This might be motivation to update. 02:14:39 Steve Gomez: Replying to "https://slsrc.org/20..." But I like Lee's method better because that work on any nix OS. 02:22:36 Phil B: The good thing about Pi Imager is that it sets up the SD card so that it is a plug and play with a headless Pi. 02:31:59 Dumpsterfire Dylan: that's great and all, but the power consumption of running a full desktop PC motherboard & such just to run Linux for a basic function like this isn't exactly better than using a dedicated hardware device- is it? 02:37:08 Dumpsterfire Dylan: Fair point. I was think more about from the perspective of doing this in your home environment. I used to repurpose old desktop PC hardware for this purpose just like you, but then I learned about SBCs like the Pi, and how you could do effectively the same thing for a fraction of the power consumption. 02:38:36 Dumpsterfire Dylan: Heck I still tinker with outdated Netgear/TP Link routers and reflash them with DD-WRT. Best power/performance ratio I can think of, and it becomes a more or less a full-fledged router. 02:42:59 Dumpsterfire Dylan: Fair point again. That's why you keep a box of these essentially "e-waste" routers at this point, that you pick up at the thrift store for ~$6 a piece. I keep them just like a DJ keeps his box of records - that way you've got the backup for the situation you mentioned with the client not having one, etc. 02:43:49 Phil B: https://one.openwrt.org/ 02:44:03 Grant T.: Reacted to "Fair point again. T..." with 👍 02:45:06 Dumpsterfire Dylan: Do you think this is feasible, or are there any tangible advantages to using full desktop PC hardware vs. low-power commodity hardware - given the even playing field of having equal access to multiple spares of equipment? 02:46:31 Grant T.: Replying to "Do you think this is..." I didn't carry the spare equipment in my truck. I didn't always have the adapters necessary to read / write cards. I likely couldn't get to an image to download if the router is down. I often ended up also adding some internal LAN services in addition to just routing. 02:46:40 Grant T.: Replying to "Do you think this is..." Do what works best for you / your clients. 03:05:35 tonyc: gotta sign out ... good night 03:12:09 Norman Miller: Thanks again. Signing out 03:18:30 stan reichardt: slcl.org/reca 03:19:35 Grant T.: That expands to https://www.slcl.org/research-learn/reca 03:19:47 Grant T.: %s/expands/redirects/ 03:21:13 Donald: Gotta go. Thanks for your work in making this presentation possible. See you soon.
