  • This is very valid but in our case we dont really store any important data on the computer. We make digital timetable signs for bus stops and train stations, the computers we build and put inside are just a base image we flash onto the disk and set hostname and IP on. Then they all connect and set themselves up via our servers and pull any displayed data from our actual main servers.

    In this case its sad that it didnt actually restart, that means our client has to drive out and deassemble the entire sign. But it seems to be a failing disk so it had to be replaced either way.






  • Just started a new job last week. Ive been in the industry for 3 years so not completely junior but getting in to a new codebase is always rough. Especially when only 1 huge library file is documented, every component is cluttered af and most variables and parameter names are 1 character long.

    Doesnt help that functions are 100 lines either when each the parameter names makes the logic incomprehensible.













  • Thank you for the comment, a very interesting solution! I’m thinking of using Google as little as possible however. I would like to look into how to setup some access from outside the network via some VPN shenanigans.

    I was also looking at automating backups with Cron - both DB and images to other disks and devices.

    I got Immich up and running but have had some stuff come in the way to spend more time with it.
