My rPi NTP server is running well. Now, it will also auto mount attached USB media, and make that available using Samba. The idea is to replace the Airport Extreme that I currently use to host a USB Drobo. Will save space and should provide a bit of energy savings to boot. I've added a 480x320 3.5" TFT Color Touchscreen hat in place of the tiny OLED because, why not?
I played around with a Raspbian GUI with the intent of running a kiosk web browser for Indigo control pages but decided that wasn't going to be totally green (loads way too many unneeded resources). Instead, I think I'm going to follow Pete's lead (see
this post referenced above.) So I've ordered another Pi (model B+) for that.
Since I was ordering the B+, I might as well throw in a Pi Zero because, hey, it was only $5. How can you
not buy one for $5? I don't even know what I'm going to use it for.
Thus continues my descent into madness.
