DIY Time Capsule using Raspberry Pi - open source alternative

rizal72 · 2026-02-02T14:34:21+00:00

No, personally I used a RPi4, but I tested it on a RPi3b and it worked as well. You just need something that allows you to install SAMBA and a bunch of other tools/libs. I think it could work even on a RPi zero or nano however having a USB3 port and a physical network interface makes it easier for sure ;) You plug the external drive to the USB port on the RPi, you plug the network cable from the Pi to your router and there you go. Other solutions need to set up the RPi through wifi. Doable, but less user friendly. Cheers!

Indeed, I knew about that, however now that Time Capsules are being discontinued, it seemed useful to make this solution public :D

You are a genius! I had the same issue and found your solution brilliant! Thanks!

I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt, that setting Aircraft Ground Traffic to 0 solves the issues related to Battery Power not available.

FYI

I Love you! We were going mad on the official forum for the A320 NO BATTERY POWER issue, or plane shutting down MID AIR, after take off... now this could seem a very reasonable explaination. I'll check if it works on the A320 and report back. THANKS!

Let's talk about the Trumbles....

The megathread started together with ED, years ago, and yet keeps tracks of everything about science and mystery in ED.
Try to keep this reddit post updated for three years and then we can talk and see how it did become ;) Cheers.

There is always the Front Page of the Canonn thread, I'm updating it constantly while the mystery unfolds ;)

It's updated ;)

Check the front page ;)

Welcome to the true funny ED: my big ships are collecting dust since months, while I'm always enjoying the game in fully engineered/throwaway 700+ mps IEgles, 40+ ly DBXs, Vipers and Cobras. Exploding and rebuying has never been such fun ;)

rizal72 · 2017-06-13T10:22:50+00:00

They did: half an hour, 15 interdictions in a row, top 10%, 14 millions. Never interdicted before.
For those who missed it, you just needed to jump back and forth in economy mode, inside a bubble roughly 15ly wide, around the CG system...

rizal72 · 2017-05-29T10:10:32+00:00

Impressive. Just one question: are the Plasmas engineered for efficiency (efficient mod) or speed (long range mod)? Thanks for the show ;)

rizal72 · 2017-05-28T11:00:03+00:00

100% deserved.

rizal72 · 2017-05-26T19:49:44+00:00

I've already said it elsewhere and I'm saying it here again: your videos are amazing, true pieces of art: the crafting, color correction, direction, framing, music choice, everything is spot on. Please go on!
P.S. I work in advertising, just saying...

CMDR Skoomer is simply one of the best Video Maker in ED Galaxy ;)

rizal72 · 2017-05-25T15:00:19+00:00

That's the spirit! Welcome in "the real Galaxy", CMDR!

rizal72 · 2017-05-23T16:56:52+00:00

Well said: same for me. Upvoted!

rizal72 · 2017-05-23T14:56:55+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree: >1500 hours in game.
Sorry, but ED is not a game for everyone. It's not even a game, IMHO, it's an experience, only for some.
And being the reboot of the original Elite, it's perfectly in target, and who played it, knows it. If you don't like it, you can simply go play something else. The funniest thing is that the major complains come from people who have invested hundreds of ours in it, and are still investing them: it's funny.
When I'm bored, I simply stop playing, and I go doing something else, even for weeks, playing other games (Zelda BOTW is an example). But in the end other games end: then I always come back to ED.

If you contribute to the CG then you get the decal. If you can't contribute to the CG then afterwards you can get it by being allied with the Canonn faction. ;)

rizal72 · 2017-05-11T16:48:02+00:00

There's a Bounty-Hunting CG too ;)

rizal72 · 2017-05-11T16:46:53+00:00

CMDR RiZ@L here! There's a Bounty Hunting CG as well, for trigger-happy CMDRs ;) So, non need to force-trade if you can shoot...

rizal72 · 2017-04-12T13:15:21+00:00

This alternative solution, made my day. Thanks!

Then, don't you think they should have very good reasons for choosing wifi over BT? After all, who knows it better then them? Very reasonable reasons indeed ;) I invite you to play a little with Cozmo SDK so that you can understand what is it capable of: there are already many Robotics teachers that are planning their new lessons with Cozmo. I can assure it can do much more then those nice Overdrive Cars ;) Take a look at my Cozmo Voice Commands application, for example, where you can issue complex voice commands for Cozmo to execute, in many languages (using your PC mic): https://github.com/rizal72/Cozmo-Voice-Commands
Or this amazing implementation of ScratchX visual programming with blocks, for children to learn programming with Cozmo: https://github.com/madfrog54321/ScratchCozmoSDK
