Right, now to upgrade the Pi and also find the 3TB or so of SSDs that have just been floating in or near the misc electronics bucket since the desktop died.

Then again maybe not yet on the full update. rpi-update warned about /boot/ maybe being too small at 256MB.

My MBP dock dongle has a card reader. Wonder if I can re-image the Pi’s SD card from that? Guess I’ll find out.

My Raspberry Pi’s got more things plugged into it than my MacBook Pro.

Sheesh.

Course that’s partly because it has more ports.

Sheesh again, but a different sheesh than before.

The Pi did not like one of the drives I plugged into it. A disk holding a Linux installation, amusingly enough. Locked up hard and doesn’t want to reboot.

I got other things to do. I’ll try reimaging later – and not plugging that drive in.

And of course less than 24 hours after saying I’ll be removing Tailwind from my project I am instead trying Tailwind 4 because hey why not maybe it’s good and if it isn’t I was gonna burn it all down anyways

I clicked on the “don’t recommend this” same as I do with all video thumbnails that make me think Betteridge’s Law needs a scale of degree, from “probably not” to “oh will you please STFU”
