cure | I agree | 15:01:45 |
@lurker42o:matrix.org | Do you think we could get access to the box in the evening? | 15:02:21 |
@lurker42o:matrix.org | I haven't been there, not sure how locked down the outdoor area is | 15:02:45 |
cure | yeah it's totally accessible | 15:02:56 |
cure | cool so then I should prep an sd card with replacement image/config for a pi 4, and on thursday we could meet there and swap it out? | 15:03:48 |
@lurker42o:matrix.org | ya, that sounds like a plan to me.... wanna try installing your latest fancy-pants changes on the radio too as long as we're at it? | 15:04:23 |
@lurker42o:matrix.org | or is that one already up to date | 15:04:36 |
cure | yeah, I had them on there already\ | 15:04:41 |
cure | * yeah, I had them on there already | 15:04:47 |
@lurker42o:matrix.org | heh too quick | 15:04:54 |
cure | I guess we could have our massmesh meeting in person at the library, if we want? | 15:05:28 |
cure | it's not a bad place to meet I think, should be quiet that time of day | 15:05:43 |
cure | (outside, obviously) | 15:05:53 |
cure | weather forecast looks good too | 15:06:48 |
Stephen304 | That sounds good to me | 15:08:29 |
cure | great ! I look forward to it. I will prep the sd card. | 15:10:50 |
cure | also, raspberry pi 4's seem out of stock | 15:11:08 |
cure | checking a few more places. | 15:11:13 |
@lurker42o:matrix.org | I am super into it | 15:11:34 |
@lurker42o:matrix.org | I see one available on amazon | 15:16:09 |
@lurker42o:matrix.org | $65 w/ PSU | 15:17:36 |
@lurker42o:matrix.org | Too expensive, or I pull trigger? I have prime so can have it in time | 15:18:17 |
cure | the canakit with cooling ? | 15:23:59 |
cure | well, with heatsinks | 15:24:07 |
cure | I think the alternative is to get one from microcenter, if you were planning a trip there. Supposedly they have the 4GB version in stock at $55 and a power supply at $5. Add tax and... well it's close to the same price but requires a trip. So, either option seems fine, up to you? | 15:25:35 |
cure | also, only 1 of those in stock at microcenter. Could be gone by the time someone gets there. | 15:26:39 |
cure | so, amazon seems like the best option I think. Unless you fancy a trip to microcenter :) | 15:26:54 |
cure | (which is always fun) | 15:27:09 |
Stephen304 | I think most of the pi4 nodes are the lowest ram amount, I don't think we ever saw high ram usage | 15:38:13 |
@lurker42o:matrix.org | Heh I'm gunna go with Amazon to save the heartbreak of It being out of stock when I arrive | 15:45:40 |
