don’t think so but they have a generator so you can make your own

I’m running Aeon on my main laptop for I think two years now and it’s so nice to just have an updated system automatically after you reboot without doing anything. However Aeon is still in RC stage so there are occasional bugs mainly related to disk encryption since automated tests are not yet implemented. But there are many other options.

There are so many good ones. A selection:

Do it

I did read the wiki which has a lot of great guides and that is how I got to boot the Pi headlessly in the first place. However when it comes to bug fixing it’s not really helpful and searching the web also didn’t give good results so I asked the AI. But in the end that also didn’t help and I figured it out by watching a YouTube video.

I solved it now. The problem was that during the setup-alpine script I didn’t set up the wlan0 interface since I thought that it already was set up because I was already connected.

I solved it now by configuring the wlan0 interface during the setup script and installed using sys mode. But in the future I’ll try diskless mode and then try committing it.

“Seems to work” means that on the first boot after running setup-alpine and then editing the sshd_config I can then log back in from another terminal using SSH. However after a reboot I can’t connect to the pi again. I’ve also connected it to a display and it looks to be booting like normal.

For now I only want to see if I can set up a headless pi with Alpine linux because the distro looks cool. Later maybe I’ll do some project with it and Elixir which I recently got into and are now thinking of things to do with it.

I’ve set up a few Pis with raspbian and now I wanted to try something else. It’s more exploration than getting things done.

I’ve used Linux for five years now and always wondered who had the idea to put paste on the middle mouse button and thought it was just some obscure convention from the past since it didn’t even paste what was in my clipboard. I never figured out that it was a different kind of paste where you just select text since it is never explained anywhere. I’d rather have new users not be put off by strange unexplained behavior.

TIL why that exists and how it works after using Linux for five years. I always wondered why someone put a function like pasting but not also copying text on the mouse and never realised you just have to select it since apparently there is a second clipboard. I wouldn’t miss it but it also wasn’t that big of a problem.
