selfhosting.couchsurfingbtw, after my experience with the FriendlyElec <a href="https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/tags/NanoPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NanoPi</a> M4, I will be attempting to get and review the NanoPi M6 in the configuration shown: 16GB RAM, 64GB eMMC, metal case without LCD. it has "platinum" Armbian support last I looked.some of these <a href="https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/tags/SBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SBC</a> vendors have got their shit a lot more together than what I'm used to from Cubieboard days.

smallsolarSadly our Samsung ML-1665 monochrome laser printer has reached the end of its life, we got it in 2010 which I think is pretty good going.Ive replaced it with a Brother HL-1112 and connected it to a <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/nanopi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nanopi</a> which we had been using as a <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/CUPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CUPS</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/print" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#print</a> server.But now I've got an old printer, any suggestions of what to do with it? <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/hack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hack</a> it up perhaps?<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/oldprinterw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oldprinterw</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/recycletech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#recycletech</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/sideproject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sideproject</a>

selfhosting.couchsurfingI gotta say, apart from the broken stuff when venturing off the garden path with Armbian install/config scripts, I'm very impressed with the distro after installing it and spending a couple weeks pushing the NanoPi M4 to its limit.it doesn't support LXQt as a desktop out of the box - meaning installing <a href="https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/tags/LXQt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LXQt</a> isn't a curated option in the <a href="https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/tags/Armbian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Armbian</a> install script - but just adding it as one would typically do on a bare Debian machine works fine, there are few to no obvious bugs, and the desktop is very snappy on the <a href="https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/tags/Rockchip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rockchip</a> RK3399.I will try to get a <a href="https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/tags/NanoPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NanoPi</a> M6 eventually, as 4 GiB RAM is just not enough, but for now the M4 is doing very well in the role I have it in.

deutrinoanyway, now that all that's done on the (version 1) <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/NanoPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NanoPi</a> M4, I can stress it with Youtube and the heat sink stays much cooler to the touch. and the fan does spool up as it gets warmer.

in_sympathyBut it's not all failures. Some other customer sent in his NanoPi NEO 512. It a was nice, fast and easy fix - MP2143DJ IC got hot up to 150+° C, so I ordered and replaced it right away ✅. Again - life is so much easier with schematics: <a href="https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/images/f/fd/Schematic_NanoPi-NEO-V1.4-1801-20180320.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/images/f/fd/Schematic_NanoPi-NEO-V1.4-1801-20180320.pdf</a>And here's a datasheet for that part: <a href="https://www.monolithicpower.com/en/documentview/productdocument/index/version/2/document_type/Datasheet/lang/en/sku/MP2143DJ-LF-Z/document_id/9700/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.monolithicpower.com/en/documentview/productdocument/index/version/2/document_type/Datasheet/lang/en/sku/MP2143DJ-LF-Z/document_id/9700/</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sbc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sbc</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/orangepi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orangepi</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repair</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electronics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/soldering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#soldering</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/electronicsrepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electronicsrepair</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nanopi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nanopi</a>

selfhosting.couchsurfingI see that <a href="https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/tags/FriendlyElec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FriendlyElec</a> has come out with a successor to the NanoPi M4 called the NanoPi M6.<a href="https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_M6" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_M6</a>I saw the <a href="https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/tags/NanoPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NanoPi</a> M6 when looking at the list of boards with platinum Armbian support.I set up Armbian and installed <a href="https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/tags/LXQt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LXQt</a> on the M4 yesterday, which is a substantially slower system than the M6, and it's pretty usable for basic low-complexity desktop stuff. Youtube in Chromium with UBlock Lite is pretty serviceable.the fact it has Armbian platinum support is a selling point. less lock-in to FriendlyElec's custom Debian/Ubuntu releases. <a href="https://mastodon.pirateparty.be/tags/miniPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#miniPC</a>

deutrinowow, the <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/NanoPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NanoPi</a> M4 performs better and uses less CPU to display 1080p30 Youtube content in Armbian stable with kernel 6.12 than it does with the vendor OS images with their custom patched 4.x kernel. this is in Chromium, with LXQt desktop, which isn't an officially supported (as in installable via 'armbian-config') desktop environment for Armbian.I guess all the drivers for the SoC and its Mali iGPU managed to make it in and get largely debugged since it was released in the late 2010s.

deutrinolatest upgraded Armbian for the <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/NanoPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NanoPi</a> M4 v1 has kernel 6.2.16, guess we'll see how it goes with that.

deutrinothe downsides of using the vendor-provided Debian 11 remix on the <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/NanoPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NanoPi</a> are becoming more apparent. older software is considerably more broken on aarch64.

deutrinodug out the old dodgy NVMe stick I have, put it in the hat, now the <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/NanoPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NanoPi</a> boots just fine.I swear it was booting with the hat and no NVMe stick populating it before, but I wouldn't bet my life on it because my memory, while better than a couple years ago during deepest burnout, still doesn't really record nearly as much detail as it used to.anyway yay, all the setup I did earlier was probably not for naught, and I guess the eMMC is fine?I'll likely move the root fs to NVMe in a while.

deutrinogot the FriendlyElec hardware-accelerated Debian 11 desktop installed to eMMC on the <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/NanoPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NanoPi</a> M4. 802.11ac wifi is up. the fan on the heatsink isn't connected bc I can't find the controller, but right now it's barely warm to the touch anyway.it runs their patched kernel 4.19 (I don't actually see a held package for this?) on a <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/Rockchip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rockchip</a> RK3399, dual 2GHz A72 + quad 1.5GHz A53, 4GB RAM.no accelerated Debian 12 desktop from the manufacturer yet, but this'll display my calendar and to-do lists.

smallsolarWhile I wait for a bit more sun before we can finally turn solarcene instance back on I've added a bit of info to the offline webpage.If you go to <a href="https://solarcene.community" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://solarcene.community</a> and when the instance is offline you'll be able to see some of the stats.I have a low powered <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/NanoPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NanoPi</a> which sits in front of the instance and manages traffic with <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/nginx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nginx</a> so when the main instance is offline it can serve up a custom 502 page<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/solarinstance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solarinstance</a>
