Oh I used that all the time, it was so awersome! back in the day it really felt like magic...

go outside, talk to people

no

what really caught my eye is the 3d printer itself, took me a while to find the repo for it, so here it is: https://github.com/The-Soft-Robotics-Forum/flex-printer

no

Yeah, but what is a 'computer'? For anyone not already in the know, this term doesn't mean "a machine that can be programmed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations (computation) automatically." (quote from Wikipedia), it just means nothing at all.

They already have a good description on the website, it's just hidden under Docs -> intro -> What is OpenTF?

And I don't get why it's hidden, but instead they tell the reader multiple times it's a fork of something else.

The target audience for a IaC project is probably people who know what IaC is. Or even people who know what "infrastructure" and "code" are, separately.

But a person who knows what "infrastructure" is likely thinks of roads and power lines and sewage pipes. A "data center", which is what "infrastructure" roughly means in this case, isn't exactly the prototypical example of "infrastructure", or is it?

If that is the case, why does the upstream project website tell what it does?

Right now, most of its target audience already knows exactly what terraform is and why they're abandoning it, although I agree that pivoting to explaining independently of that is a good idea

not yet, still in progress

wasnt it blocked? or at least possibly blocked?

Basically every regulatory body in the world is looking into the sale.

this is exactly what we needed, a camera to attach to an unobtainable device

The Pi foundation believes supply will steadily improve as this year progresses & will be back to ”you can buy any Pi you want today” by the end of the year.

It’s not /great/, but given the supply chaos of the last few years it is what it is.

Last I heard they were making 7M a year, with very few reserved for end users. To improve the situation they promised 100k reserved for end users. Seems much like the GPU fiasco where a company reserves all their product, leaving none for end users, and the market collapses (worst GPU sales in 20 hears).

Even in its height of "unobtainable" I was able to get one without having to try too hard and I was being picky about the configuration I wanted. I did have to buy from a German site but it was obtainable.

I believe it should be much easier now.

To anyone looking, follow rpilocator.com. Supply has been slowly improving.

I managed to get one via a rpilocator.com alert (used the rss feed to send myself an email alert) within about 2-3 weeks of setting it up. It's not perfect but it worked and I managed to get an 8GB Pi 4.

the height of unobtainable was just a couple of weeks ago, and it lasted for almost a year in which rpilocator was only showing a few shops in the world selling a few dozen pis in a different form factor you are looking for at a time.

It certainly wasn't a couple weeks ago and this has been going on a lot longer than a years ago.

Yeah, sometimes you can get one, however it doesn't make much sense to pay 150 Euros, or 100 for a 1GB version.

I paid $60 total. That included shipping for a 4 gig raspberry pi 4

I believe you :) The prices I quoted where from yesterday in Europe / Germany.

What is this legendary Raspberry Pi that this article talks about?

mostly everywhere except the us from the looks of it

Guess this was one of the first implementations of greylisting :)

This was not an issue of being in a vacuum, it was an issue of not reading documentation beforehand, which for some reason is acceptable in the development world

I don't think there are so many people attempting to perform surgery or to build a bridge without reading a number of textbooks on the topic.

And this is why back in the day everyone said RTFM
