<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br>That's good I've been doing lots of stuff recently all below.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Bramble </b></div><div><br></div><div>Occurred to me I have a Rapberry Pi 3B and a Raspberry Pi early one going spare Buy another 3 cheap Pis and would have a Bramble.</div><div>They're getting down to £25 or £20 in some cases so might be worth thinking about.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Brtfs</b></div><div><br></div><div>Talk of Fedora Core using BRTFS <a href="https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedora-33-btrfs-by-default-test-day-2020-07-08/">https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedora-33-btrfs-by-default-test-day-2020-07-08/</a> </div><div>Makes me wonder I maybe should format my NVm SSD with BRTFS apparently it's better for them. </div><div>Also have a large partition to keep video files on used XFS which is good for large files apparently. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Google Coral USB Accelerator</b></div><div><br></div><div>I bought one for Tensor flow experimentation as can plug it in a Raspberry Pi and do real time image classification as well as making learning faster.</div><div>There is the Intel one as well but I fancied Tensor Flow more.</div><div><br></div><div><b>CourseA.</b></div><div><br></div><div>Signed up to them they have some meaty courses that seem to be worth something. Anyone else tried them?</div><div><br></div><div><b>Clojure</b><br></div><div><br></div><div>I bought IntelliJ recently well I like vim or emacs but good to go the next level. </div><div>Quite fun learning functional programming.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Motion Eye OS</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>Bought a Raspbery Pi 4 recently with High res cam and the 16mm zoom lens, to watch my Bird feeder and learn machine learning in the process.</div><div>So far only a pigeon to train with but hopefullly will get there.</div><div>Anyone experience with this my first go gave too many videos to browse. Added a editable Mask which then also didn't work </div><div>only recognising the arrival of a Pigeon not the eating there of. Turned on Smart Mask and Auto Threshold now will see how that goes. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Nexdock 2 Touch</b></div><div><br></div><div>I ordered one that's comming August by the look of it. Talk now you only need two cables to connect a Raspberry Pi 4 <a href="http://nexdock.com/support/raspberrypi-4/">http://nexdock.com/support/raspberrypi-4/</a> aka Option 2.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Machine Learning</b></div><div>I bought the O'Reilly Hands On Machine Learning with SciKit-Learn Keras and Tensor Flow 2 book after the intro course I'l probably find </div><div>a matching course for the book.</div><div><br></div><div><b>IBM M900 Tiny PC </b></div><div><br></div><div>Well since I got IntelliJ looked for a small Intel box to run a full 64bit Genuine Linux on to run yikes java and well experimental stuff. </div><div>Bought myself an IBM M900 with 8GB ram 128GB SSD for £140 + £10 postage. Not bad I thought, have since stuck a 1TB NVM 2e PCI express card inside it blindingly fast now</div><div>and bonus have one spare SATA connection so hooked up an old slow drive for backups. What is the programme of choice for backups now? rsync, tar? I hear rsync does </div><div>incremental... </div><div><br></div><div><b>Optane</b></div><div><br></div><div>From the above if I do build a VR machine eventually I think I will get Intel Optane which is even quicker and surprised it's out already.</div><div><br></div><div><b>POE Hat for Pi (Power over Ethernet for those who don't know)</b></div><div><br></div><div>I was planning on putting the bird table camera outside but alas don't think the lens is waterproof and something unnerving about having</div><div>nearly £200 worth of gear unattended. So now either I send it back or will need another use for my Poe Hat any ideas.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Udemy</b></div><div><br></div><div>Signed up for some Udemy courses as they were cheap as chips a Pfsense router one some machine learning with Anaconda and Python sorry </div><div>it seems to have won the science data analysis language race.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Wayland</b></div><div><br></div><div>Was chatting on Freenode #linux and it came up. Anyone tried it? I see it's still not ready for Prime Time as of 2019 and there were some criticisms on event injection...</div><div>General info <a href="https://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Features/Is-Wayland-the-New-X">https://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Features/Is-Wayland-the-New-X</a> </div><div> <br></div><div><br></div><div><b>Zsh</b></div><div><br></div><div>As I'm on the terminal alot these days felt like trying another shell. Even the act of switching is interesting what's the zsh bash shopt equivalent of </div><div>shopt -s checkwinsize I wonder.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Finally to seemingly stay on topic.</b></div><div>Having thought about Zsh I thought I bet there is a Perl shell and sure enough Psh exists though doesn't look too active.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://gnp.github.io/psh/">https://gnp.github.io/psh/</a> <br></div><div><br></div><div>That's all sorry if it's long but it's been interesting times. </div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, 9 Jul 2020 at 13:05, Rod Norfor <<a href="mailto:r.t.c.norfor@gmail.com">r.t.c.norfor@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Yes, should be.<div><br></div><div>You the same link that Tony sent previously.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards.</div><div><br>Rod</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, 9 Jul 2020 at 12:25, Daniel Lower <<a href="mailto:danielplower@gmail.com" target="_blank">danielplower@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi All,<div><br></div><div>Is there a meeting tonight second Thursday seems to mirror last month?</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div></div>
