My old friend, a Raspberry Pi A+, has been running my home heating system for months, just like it did back in 2014.
It has not missed a single moment.
It has sailed through every so called cloud outage.
It kept working flawlessly even when the Internet connection was down, because it simply does not need it.This is the kind of technology I love.
Of course, it runs NetBSD!rpicaldaia# uptime
6:23PM up 78 days, 20:16, 4 users, load averages: 0.33, 0.17, 0.13
rpicaldaia# uname -a
NetBSD rpicaldaia 10.1 NetBSD 10.1 (RPI) #0: Mon Dec 16 13:08:11 UTC 2024 mkrepro@mkrepro.NetBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/RPI evbarm@stefano Lovely hostname too!

@stefano Lovely hostname too!
@iamleot eheh it was quite straightforward. The base NetBSD Raspberry PI image is called "rpi" - it's in the room where the "caldaia" is so it was easy to assign.
Yes, I have zero fantasy for hostnames

@stefano My main laptop is called "boh". My workstation is called "abacus" that is the local shop where I bought it. And my Pinebook Pro is called "pinebookpro" (not just Pinebook because that's the hostname of my original Pinebook)!
You have definitely more creativeness than me!

I really want to soon, but I just don't have a real use for it yet. Other than playing around, of course.
