I was really annoyed by the ?srsltid= parameter that Google adds to many URLs when you click on a search result.

So I quickly created a Firefox plugin that removes the parameter, since the few plugins that exist didn't work.

Unfortunately in German only. A superb „OMR“ podcast episode with Klaus and his son as guests talking about past, present and future as well as some insights.

I ended up there via various links, image pages and API docs. Pretty interesting what is described in the article. Hardly a "problem" these days.

Amazing. Colorized a rare picture of my grandfather. Thanks!!!

Very cool commenting on our product. Saw your PiBox on kickstarter and PH. Love it!

There were more than a handful of free Raspberry Pi colocations. However, since there is real manual work and infrastructure behind it, there are no such offers anymore, as far as we could check.

Most domain extensions are already registered. And since we are from Germany, the term "Piccolo" sound very similar to "Picolo" but means something very different: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piccolo_(Sekt)

However, we would have definitely pursued an overlap/commonality of the word with, say, beer!

I personally vouch for our team, but think about it: your Pi is connected to the Internet. You are responsible for the security of the Pi (system security, updates, encryption ...). You send us the hardware in the mail. How many hands does the package go through? Of course, no one gets into the data center without access authorization, etc. pp.

Encryption of your data is the key here.

Cool spelling mistake found. It's already on our ToDo list and will be corrected soon.

Thank you, as far as we could find out, this is really unique.

GPIO: Currently there are no plans for this yet. It is not possible at the moment, we point this out during checkout and on the colocation administration page. However, we think nothing is impossible. If you have a use case, feel free to write me at colocation@examesh.de ;)

Thanks for mentioning it. Yes, there are quite a few use cases as these are already implemented by customers: Backup, Sync, Nodes (e.g. BTC Full Nodes), Relay, ...

Hi,

"Green", now removed from the title, but still on the landingpage refers to the power used by our data center. Our data centers operate inside wind & solar parks, therefor we only use green energy. If there is no wind or sun we directly purchase green energy. Of course every DC is connected to the public grid for continuous operation.

Thanks for your comment about the power supplies. Not every power supply will work. a) As stated in the FAQs and again when successfully booked: " Note that the power supply should have at least 3.0A / 5.1V power. It must be CE certified and support DC power." b) The DCs are located in Germany: 230 V - DC.

I have also read all the other comments on this subject: Yes, currently each Pi runs with its own power supply.

Currently, our team is developing a dedicated power supply for all Pi slots within the rack. Then it will also be possible for users to turn the power on and off via the colocation dashboard. However, the development will still take a little time. The reason for this is that some components are not immediately available and especially not in large quantities. See analogously the availability of Pis.

I´m in the same position right now. But I think I will get the last Intel version. I´m not so confident about the 1st gen of the ARM version. Even the 2nd gen of the "butterfly" keyboard was a fail. On the other hand, Apple could do a lot better with their own silicon and have much better performance than the last Intel version.

TL;DR => Now to be safe and have a working Mac for the next 5+ years => Later to have the newest "thing" but maybe with 1st gen problems

"A silly program to update a GitHub user's status with the current weather" On point, but I like it!

Thanks. Glad you like it.

Yeah, check out the website and contact us at any time if you have questions!

What do you think about the video? :)

Great submission. Looks like a very promising new framework. I'll definitely try!

See Section "Why in RE Plants?": https://examesh.de/en/edge-dc/ and https://examesh.de/en/fact-checking-the-renewable-energy-sou...

The issue we are tackling is the Renewable Energy Sources Act (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Renewable_Energy_Source...) in Germany. As of 2021 up to 6.000 wind turbines drop out and will no longer earn enough money from selling their energy. Therefore they must be switched off. With our EDC we are able to provide the operator with a second revenue stream.

The economic effect: Continued operation of the wind turbine. The EDC only uses ~5% of the generated power. ~95% of green electricity will be fed to the grid.

Side effect: Preparing for the upcoming need of Edge Data Centers.
