Witnessed a car crash metres infront of me today & must say I'm impressed with the actions of fellow bystanders.

I stopped my car, got out & started walking towards the woman driver of one car who as staggering out of her very smashed up small car.

But before I could get my stride, 6 other people were in-front of me attending to her & the car.

One guy had a hand-held fire extinguisher & was using it on the remains of her car's engine bay.

Four other people were helping her as she sat down, one person had a first-aid kit open on the ground next to her.

Bloody hell, well done fellow Australians, great display of mateship & immediately helping those in need in action. ❤️

why is it that to do anything people actually want requires "employees to come forward" but [gesticulates wildly at the entire police state apparatus]

> i'd really love an inexpensive arm board with many sata ports to build a small nas with.

They've had kits for this ( https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/cloudshell-2-for-xu4/ ) but it's mostly DIY nowadays unless you spring for one of the boards that does have the m.2 already. Most of the RPi gear has a way to get at the PCIe bus nowadays. so you don't really need to worry about uSD cards much any more, except for portable systems. (Even then, though, like, the DevTerm/uConsole, people have tapped into the pins and shoved a "real" SSD inside. I use them as portable machines to talk to the bigger machines, though, so I don't mind treating the storage as disposable and I don't want to trade the battery life.)

You can sorta see the SATA ports next to the PSU on the TPi2 board; they're next to the power connector. (They're empty on FSE because the NVMe is slotted under the board.)

Back from the road.
Was able to repair my bike partially and the weather was perfect. Had to stop on the first run test as the rear breaks broke and the seat was killing my bottom, so I changed that.

After partially fixing the rear brakes (they need to be changed). I went again and did around 15Km in total from 5:50 pm to 7:17 pm.

Took the usual road I do by foot, then I did the one I did with my dog, then I lost myself around the surrounding of the village.
Found a cat. Some lovely narcissus. Gypsy bait. And I ended my tour at the park and picked up litter and found a sweeter some kid forgot there.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has released an open source project called Rayhunter. It is designed to run on an inexpensive (~$20) mobile hotspot and look for signs of mobile spying devices called cell-site simulators. Also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers, they masquerade as legitimate cellphone towers, tricking phones w/in a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower.
