  • You don’t say what you’re using Cloudflare for, so suggesting an alternative is a bit tough.

    Assuming that you’re using a CF tunnel to get through CGNAT, tailscale would be one alternative (no need to turn it off/on, though). The other alternative would be renting a cheap VPS and tunneling through that instead.

    On the other hand, if you’re primarily using CF as a reverse proxy, you can run any number of them on your own server instead, like Nginx, Zoraxy, etc.

    On the other other hand, if you’re using their WAF, that can also be run locally. Crowdsec offers a WAF component in addition to their usual protections, for example.

    On the other other other hand… There are alternatives to most, if not all, of their other services, too.








  • The slightly lower power draw pi5 vs a Tiny will eventually make up for the higher initial cost, but you can save more by turning off lights when you leave a room or skipping a round at the bar.

    In my opinion, the wider software compatibility, better processing power, and expansible RAM and storage options far outweigh the eventual theoretical savings.

    That said, if you need the super small SBC form factor or GPIO pins, definitely go for a pi. They absolutely have their use cases. I have 4 or 5 of the 3B and 3B+, and have used them on-and-off for a variety of tasks over the years.








  • Good to know.

    I have seen damage to older monochrome displays before (from the 90s) but I don’t know how they differed from what ICOM used in the 7100. Obviously things had improved in those 20 years. But since monochrome LCDs are somewhat rare in consumer goods nowadays, I don’t have much experience with more modern variants.





  • Same. I don’t remember paying for it, but I know donated through the Reddit version, so it would make sense that I would have also purchased the lemmy version if I was given the option.

    I just like using Boost because I can have the exact same interface between both Reddit and Lemmy. The Reddit version was removed from the Play store, though, so I needed to side-load it when I switched to this new phone. Still works, though.
