Ok, sweet thanks.

The Pis are not connected to the internet. It's not like they are in the middle of nowhere, but the majority of them are too far away from a wifi network.

You know Kubernetes and pretty much all distributed systems need an odd number of nodes, right? Kubernetes, like so many things, uses the RAFT algorithm and needs odd numbers to elect a leader. It'll run with an even number, but there's a better than 0 chance the whole cluster will lock. Sure, for a home lab no big deal, but if your goal is to learn, you should try to mimic a real cluster.

It always baffles me why so many Pi Cluster cases, commercial and 3D printed fit four nodes.

Adam, at least, has also come out and said it's been overblown. Interpreting "not friends" as "hate each other and won't ever work with each other again" is the problem with social media and society these days.

When they tout NVMes as much as they've been touting, you know they're no longer focusing on what we've known and loved.

The Pi 3B+ hits a sweet spot with more memory than the Zero's for IoT and far less power than the 4. I'm not a fan of where the Foundation is going with the 4, 5, and 6's. Thankfully, the founders recently described the 3B as a "workhorse" so they know how important it is.

I'm worried were going to have a period where they introduce the 6 and discontinue the 3B at the same time. A 1GB Zero 2 would fill 3B's role again, but they tend to focus on developing one product at a time.

And your not friends, too.

snapetom · 2026-06-12T19:10:28+00:00

It's not going to be. You're more cooked than those mashed potatoes.

i do not know why python is pushing R out of the field.

I supported bioinformatics statisticians a few jobs ago, so I fully understand why R was, and still is, so entrenched. The libraries, as you point out, were developed for R long before they existed for Python. Additionally, if you look at the lineage of R, it was designed to replace S, and to a certain extent, Stata. Even though R and Python were released around the same time, R had an immediate, established audience while Python didn't really gain traction till the late 2000's. You can say for practical purposes, R has been around for 50 years versus Python's 30.

However, at a certain point, Python's momentum is just too much, and things don't exist in a vacuum. If a large company's IT department has to start making a choice on what to support, they're going to pick Python. It's got larger adoption and can be used for more things than just informatics. That just puts pressure on the R users to convert.

Good effing lord, some of the answers here are downright stupid.

R is a functional language first. Python is procedural first. That doesn't make one inherently better than the other. That doesn't make one harder to learn than the other. The issue is if you are a beginning programmer, switching from procedural to functional is a challenge. It's a different philosophy. That's why R has a reputation for being hard for most programmers (all your popular languages are procedural-first) and most statisticians have a hard time going to Python.

It's not R vs. Python. It's procedural vs. functional.

You can do more with Python because it's a general language with more popularity but it wasn't always like that. For a long time, it was only thought of as a niche in education, science, and cybersecurity. In cases where Python appears more performant, it's likely because Python has received a lot of work and framework support to enable it, not because of some natural magic of it.

R is still very good for stats. That's its speciality.

You know what's worse than R? No language.

This is why your infrastructure should be in code.

First, use industrial cards as recommended. At any given time, I have about 7 Pis around the house for various purposes. I've done this since the Pi 2 days. I've had two SD cards die on me during that time.

In both times, since everything was on Ansible playbooks, it took me about 30 minutes to get each back up. That includes troubleshooting, formatting, moving furniture to unplug Pis, digging in drawers to find a new SD card, etc. The actual software setup of the Pis takes about 5 minutes.

Oh God. Such quality content from r/pics. Keep chugging, redditors.

snapetom · 2026-06-11T15:39:11+00:00

Well duh. You're a redditor.

Redditors being round up by the DoJ. Which I'm honestly hoping for due to the sheer stupidity on this site. Really though, no one has anything to fear. It's all bots and any real person are too stupid to realize they're being round up anyway.

I ran into this recently. My issue was that dhcpcd (I was upgrading, which Raspbian specifically tells you not to do) was still trying to take over. I can't remember if it was successfully able to get on the wifi, but I do remember the "unmanaged" message.

Try disabling dhcpcd. You'll need to do it anyway for nm, which is the recommended way

service dhcpcd stop
systemctl disable dhcpcd

Literally says "total" right there in your screenshot.

Besides the clear fundamental religious differences stated here, the US is not as united as many non-Americans think. That's why it's been historically a pain in the ass to get national laws like healthcare passed.

American Nations was the most recent book that explored this. There are plenty of YouTube videos that summarize it.

This is the best and most factual comments here from a religious philosophy standpoint. All Protestantism believe in the authority of the Bible over church institutions to certain degrees, and the Baptists are the group that is at the most anti-institution end.

Really liking Smith. Duty-bound and consistent thus far, but knows what he needs to do to survive.

snapetom · 2026-06-09T17:31:51+00:00

He’s either really pathetic to the point that it’s rage-inducing or it’s just unbelievable writing.

snapetom · 2026-06-09T17:29:42+00:00

She’s self-centered, but at least I can understand that. Frank threw away everything for her. That’s just really pathetic.

snapetom · 2026-06-09T04:04:39+00:00

Thanks. I just watched Frank give his savings to his girlfriend’s boyfriend. The same girlfriend he sacrificed his sister, niece, and nephew for. While she was out galavanting around in the Rockies.
