Isn't there an option to disable authentication for local networks anymore?

The masonry layout makes this very awkward

I don't mind the slow charging at all if that means my non serviceable battery lasts longer. But a slightly bigger capacity bump would've been nice

May I ask why you have your spin down so aggressive?

I'm kind of in the same boat. My boss allows me somewhat flexible hours, fridge at work always stocked with decent beer, nice work environment overall. But very tiring and a lot of responsibility. What has helped me: I've started working out again. Getting up at the crack of dawn and exhausting myself is easier for me than waking up between 7am and 11am to go to work. No idea why, but that's what helped me. Of course I'm pretty tired when I get home, but that's just an added benefit, because usually I'd stay awake till 1am and complain that I'm dead tired the next day.

I'm using one for my brewery as a controller. If that one dies I'm in trouble.

Pretty much all of them unfortunately. Although claims have been made that the situation should get better in the second half of 2023. It's about time tho, all pi models have been out of stock for at least 2 years at this point

Nice setup! Does the desk phone actually see any use nowadays?

Exactly. Makes placement of access points so much easier later on. Also not relying on bad wifi for your computer.
