  • As far as I understood, this is just a USB interface, you’d still need zigbee2mqtt or ZHA

  • Sure, but the same is true for embedded timestamps. Just put a black bar over it with the time and date in white. Claim that the system does it that way, done.

  • The rommbas? Maybe. The other ones? They have plenty storage.

  • I would not say they cloned the design. The first breakthrough for Roborock was the S5, which had LiDAR and a map. Both was not something iRobot had at the time. iRobot simply chose to not innovate in the areas people wanted first. People didn’t like the random cleaning that the roombas did for a long time compared to the structured of almost everybody else.

  • Really? It can’t do no-go zones and lines without the cloud? Even the „Chinese competition“ can do that without internet.

  • Sure, but keep write operations on SD cards in mind.

    You can also look at thin clients like the Futro s740, or the much more powerful Lenovo tiny series (like the m720q)

  • Well these robots run a Linux distribution as a base. So yes, sure, they will run doom just fine.

  • I don’t know if bambulab should be recommended. With the cloud issues and the very closed nature of it. Better recommend Prusa.

  • Yet somehow people still use PS or horsepower in everyday language. At least in Germany.

  • Lots of people use fusion360. It has a free license for hobbyists. Although it is a cloud-first software. There is always the risk of them canceling that free license.

    But I have yet to find a good enough replacement…

  • Why though? When you run multiple services on your machine, conflicts between these can cause headaches. Updating them is also often not trivial on bare metal. Let alone migrating to a newly set up machine (I suppose you could automate that with something like ansible)

  • What would you prefer and why? Bare metal?

  • Depending on the dongle, that would increase power consumption. I think that is difficult in the current state, seeing that there is not much power to spare at the moment.

  • I am a hesitating running a VM in proxmox to run my docker services there. It doesn’t feel right to me (maybe I am wrong, what do I know…).

    I also do not understand yet how this would work in a cluster. I don’t want all the services bundled on one node (then the whole cluster thing would have been a pointless exercise haha)

  • And that is good! It would have been a better answer if you mentioned these major limitations as well so that interested people don’t need to look it up :)

  • Case in point: Netflix runs on AWS and experienced no issues during this thing.

    But Netflix did encounter issues. For example the account cancel page did not work.

  • Please elaborate. I have only found that all drives will be treated as they would have the smallest capacity in the bunch.

    There is some manual workarounds, which is would not call „can do it fine“

    Or am I missing something?

  • Yes, but it does not have redundancy or caching. Redundancy can be achieved with snapraid, but how you get caching I don’t know…
