i despise plastic and i want to minimize it where possible.
in this particular case the components will be exposed to the sun and that will degrade the plastic over time, and that is something that wont happen to wood :)

diy qfh antenna
hello,
i want to make this antenna (check link) to get sat weather images sata with my sdr.
will it make a dofference if I replace.the plastic parts with wooden?
also is any other type of antenna more suitable for this purpose? (I want it to be as compact as possible because the only space i have available is on my flat's window)

looking for my next thinkpad
im looking into replacing my current x230 and framework laptop with an old thinkpad.
my requirements are: great linux support, compact (as much it can), alum or metallic body.
good to have: boxy look, model after 2018, coreboot/libreboot (i doubt new models are supported but one can dream)
does this thing exists?
No but I rebooted the system after the change. do still need to update it regardless the reboot?
no, I just removed them with the live cd and repartitioned it (Im assuming its doing the same thing under the hood?)
editing the /etc/fstab didnt work (I just changed the path but not sure if the uuid plays any part) but ill give the rm/mkdir part a go
the command returns my user dir and a lost+found dir
yes it is a symlink to /var/home

cant mount home on boot


Im giving a go fedora silverblue on a new laptop but Im unable to boot (and since im a linux noob the first thing i tried was installing it fresh again but that didnt resolve it).
its a single drive partitioned to ext4 and encrypted with luks (its basically the default config from the fedora installation)
any ideas for things to try?
I think 'sar' is a good candidate for cpu, memory and network data?

linux dashboard
I want to create a custom dashboard web app thing for the purpose of learning and to make it avalaible for selfhosted servers.
The plan is to use existing linux cli tools as much as possible.. Which of them do you think are appropriate for that purpose?
There is a nice list in this blogpost but I dont have any experience with any of them: https://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2024-03-24/linux-crisis-tools.html
For now I only want to connect a camera. Im not sure what a POE injector does so I havent realy thought about it
low power switch
I want a switch with a few POE ports but it needs to be as low power as possible as I rely in solar.
Any recommendeations?
