My Blackberry torch was my favourite phone ever.

It’s a reference to The Mythical Man Month and (I believe) one of the parables told inside:

The €100 budget might be broken but I’m running a Pironman5 with a Pi5 16gb and an SSD and it’s a solid server.

One thing to bear in mind is that SD cards are very bad at constant writes so I’d recommend any heavy write processes write to the SSD drive (databases, file storage etc). I use it for several things including as a build server - running Gitea as a Podman image.

You can probably save some money by using the smaller RAM Pi5s but I have no complaints about mine, and building the case was a fun exercise.

Best of luck with your project.

Honestly I haven’t tried, so that’s possibly on me. But also I don’t want it on there, who knows what that app does, it’s at best suspicious, imho. I have a “dirty” phone with all the big tech stuff on, but at a pinch I can make it go online using my “clean” phone as a tether, but I’m trying to wean off the data harvesting apps like WA, Instagram etc

No, I think they support others too. However I have the Jolla C2:

I’m currently trying to switch to using my Sailfish Phone full time. Unfortunately the way I’m having to do this is by keeping my old android about to run WhatsApp (because I can’t get friends and family onto something that also runs on Sailfish, which is basically Matrix or nothing as far as I can tell). It’s not great tbh, but I really like the idea of Sailfish (or Ubuntu touch).

The Dalvik layer (which runs the Android sandbox) is ok, it runs some stuff but not everything and anything “security dependent”, forget it, so Banking and messaging won’t be supported, that being said the moment I find a bank that supports Sailfish, I will switch to that bank in an instant.

(Ps. If anyone has anything to refute any of my statements here, like a good messaging app or banking, then please correct me, I want to be wrong)

Help! Something sensitive is stuck in a cylinder and I need to get it out…

Actually I believe they are both alphas*, so I think he’d be Sorbo 0.2

Thank you that’s good to know. I wasn’t aware of any positive affiliation with it. I’ll bear it in mind moving forward :)

Ah that’s interesting, I had thought of it more negatively. It’s not a common word where I am, so my knowledge has been gleaned from American media, mostly.

Would you mind explaining how chutzpah and hubris differ please? I’m not sure I get it.

I often felt from context it was closer to “hubris”, as “cajones” might just mean brave.

Fair warning I haven’t read this specific article but an MIT prediction has societal collapse happening by 2040

Just a quick note for hosting a DB on a pi (or anything that uses SD cards for the OS), SD cards fail with some regularity, so I strongly suggest getting an NVMe board with a stick of SSD memory to store the actual files, because it’s much more reliable long term for data integrity. SD cards support reading large amounts but writes wear them out more quickly.

You can find great cases that come with the boards (but not the SSD, however that’s very easy to find separately).

For RPi 4 I have an Argon (NVMe board sold as accessory): https://argon40.com/products/argon-one-v2-case-for-raspberry-pi-4

And fro RPi 5 I have a Pironman case (NVMe comes as part of the kit): https://www.sunfounder.com/products/pironman-5-nvme-m-2-ssd-pcie-mini-pc-case-for-raspberry-pi-5

I recommend both of those but your use case may vary.
