Ahhh this newsletter always reminds me it's Friday again, filling me with glee

Coolness! Did not know this:

$ apt update
  Permission denied
$ sudo !!
  New release '13.0' available

Hetzner announced a 37% price increase for new and existing VPS customers beginning April 1

Must have missed this news, that'll hurt some people in this community.

I've been running Bluehood the past couple weeks, on a Raspberry Pi that was otherwise collecting dust. I'm up to 2K Bluetooth devices spotted and I live on a slow, residential street. Its quite startling how easily you could stalk someone who travels around with Bluetooth on.

Shucks… I really wanted open drone log, to be like, an interactive dashboard of the amount of fan noise my PC’s are currently making.

And then after that command has run try ^update^upgrade

Hmmm... I have a spare Pi kicking about, I might give this a go.

Before I go looking for stuff, did you need a BT adapter to get better range, etc?

Wow how have I not seen these weekly roundups before? Cool little news digest

It even has RSS! Hell yeah let’s go

So, I have it running on a Pi 3 B+ which has BT 4.2 built in. You would indeed probably get even better range with a BT adapter and USB extension.

Thanks for the heads up. Really good info in there.

Yep. I got an email from them yesterday. My lil box is going from just under 4 USD to 5 USD per month.

Yes but the RSS feed for non-subscribers is just the announcement of the post. I still have to go to the site to read the whole newsletter, which is fine.
