I’ve done similar with an old Android tablet. Installed Fully Kiosk Browser to display the dashboard AND read the battery level - above 75%, switch off power…
But… automations only trigger when going past the threshold once, so if there’s a random issue where HA doesn’t see the battery drop below 10%, (had that happen a few times in the past), then I also have multiple triggers for 5% and 2%… to turn the power back on again 😉
It’s so sad when we all find these critical components are maintained by someone we’d just pass in the street… and then they’re gone.
Lovely to see the contributions on ko-fi
But, surely Windows is the wrong OS?
Windows is a per-user GUI… supercomputing is all about crunching numbers, isn’t it?
I can understand M$ trying to get into this market and I know Windows server can be used to run stuff, but again, you don’t need a GUI on each node a supercomputer they’d be better off with DOS…?
Wha?
(searches interwebs)
Wow, that completely passed me by…
I’m curious if anyone’s paying to support development (of either application)?
I’m just about getting all my photos into my NAS, so will be looking at these myself soon
I can confirm that moving the disks to a very similar device will work.
We recovered “enough” data from what disks remained of a Dell server that was dropped (PSU side down) from a crane. The server was destroyed, most of the disks had moved further inside the disk caddy which protected them a little more.
It was fun to struggle with that one for ~1 week
And the noise from the drives…
Just on your Enlightenment point there, I tried Bodhi Linux a few years ago because the Enlightenment desktop looked really good, but over time they (Bodhi) had to create their own desktop because Enlightenment appeared to have almost stopped work.
Might be something for you to check out…?
