Now you may say, James, did you know that faster computers exist? But I like embedding a cheap SBC. When I abandon this project and move on to something else, I want it frozen in a state that Just Works. I don't want to turn it on a year from now only to wait 30 minutes while it enshittifies itself.

@ancientjames@mastodon.social people that give that kind of comments are usually armchair quarterbacks... proper response being: "oh, interesting! Maybe you can show *your* working device using that?". Or just to be ignored of course.

@ancientjames@mastodon.social that expresses perfectly why i like simple, quasi-embedded compute in little standalone projects too!
