@ivan i've been having a discussion about this across nixos-hardware and nixos-on-arm matrix channels.
The bottom line is, as long as we're not talking about the pi5, nixos should work without the additional nixos-hardware stuff. You only need a vendored kernel as long as it has stuff that hasnt been mainlined yet.

Thinking about setting up a home #borg server on an unused #RaspberyPi 4.

Questions for the #HiveMind:

  • How much RAM does a borg server need to manage about 3TB of backups?
  • How big of a USB disk do I need for the / partition for RasbperryPi OS with no GUI?
  • Does borg deduplicate files between users' backups, or only within a single user's backups?

Semi successful in running TinyCore Linux on my Gateway 2000 486. Boots the kernel off PXE from a RaspberryPi, and mounts root from a CF card.

Able to get it online with it's Intel Pro 10/100 Ethernet card too.

Next is setting up openssh and X Windows. Also working on installing fully to the CF card.

Another day, another successful FreeBSD upgrade.

Sprites are a type of upper atmospheric #TransientLuminousEvent that occur very high above thunderstorms. We had some lucky cloud gaps giving us a clear sight of them! #TLE #Thunderstorm #UKStorm
