Last post by Nick - Mar 09, 2018, 02:20 PMUpgraded hardware!
Lenovo M73 tiny - CPU G3220T - 8GB ram. (it's temping to get a low power xeon for it... but that would cost more than the rest of the system - and it's really not needed.)
Idles at a whopping 13w (twice what the pogoplug ate.... but almost 10x the CPU power and 32x the RAM. (It's also the NAS, Plex and Nextcloud server for the house)
Also, thanks to Lets Encrypt, everything is now automatically forwarded to HTTPS. Apparently images are not... I don't know if I care. I might look at it when I have time.
Let me know if you have any issues. Or if you even visit...

Mechanics / Re: Painting the Yuke!
Last post by zourtney - Aug 26, 2017, 10:27 AMYes yes yes! I like it. Let me know if your want any "help."
Once the paint is nice any dry, I think it'll need a good woods trip!

Mechanics / Painting the Yuke!
Last post by Nick - Aug 25, 2017, 10:08 AMThe Yukon is in dire need of a new paint job. It kinda has been since I got it... but that is beside the point. There are places on the roof where it's down to the metal and starting to rust a little.
So not being very skilled or wanting to spend a couple hundred on proper automobile paint I figured I would use some good 'ol 'Rusto paint and put a UV rated clear over that for some longevity.
While I am at it I will hit the grill, both bumpers and the rocker-panels with spray-on-bedliner. Mostly just because. And I think it will look good. I might even do the wheels.
Courtney and I have been making some color mock-ups in photo-paint-gimp-shop.
Here they are for your consideration and criticism.

Well, at least molasses is tasty.
I had a little trouble logging in on the desktop site, which is slightly worse than the slowness. It randomly errored out the first few times. I have no idea why.

It's comforting to know it's here though.
