Which hardware is best for *compatibility*, regardless of cost or power?

I believe no one did.

Not good. We should step up on this.
If nobody else does, I will respond
to RIPE NCC. At least I can apologize.

FreedomBox Foundation collects donations from people on behalf of the
project. I think active exploration for funding is not happening.

We should make some structured system to go for money. I will
write another post on this email list and else where,
asking people to join being fundraisers.

I picture a website for coordination. The website should be
open for input. The website shall list suggestions for
who can be potential donors. Who has been
contacted? When? Was money received?

Apart from that,
more donations can go to causes like the village internet project here
in India, bounties, outreach and funding for developers.

Received funds must only be for making the freedombox.org
software.

I am a layperson. I was not aware the kernel has
to be able to support emmc. I thought
configuring a file on the sdcard which the freedombox image has
been written to, would enable the sdcard to write
the freedombox onto the emmc.
I think you have enough tasks about the freedombox and
making a beaglebone black revision c emmc
compatible freedombox image should be skipped.

I cannot. I am not skilled. Because I got no answer on this email list,
I planned to ask on the beaglebone black forum.
https://beagleboard.org/discuss
I do not know if you can ask questions if you do not want to
make log in on google? If signing in on google is a
requirement about the forum then I do not want to post
on the forum.

On installing debian 9 on a beaglebone black revision c's
emmc.

After writing the debian 9 image
https://beagleboard.org/latest-images
onto a sdcard, you have to edit a file on the sdcard.
It is file /boot/uEnv.txt
File uenv.txt:

You have to remove the # from the last line.

Instead of a separate image, we could add an option that can be selected
during setup (or at a later time):
1. The system boots first from the micro SD card.
2. The user creates their account, and then selects an option like
"Install to other storage device" (supported internal storage or SSD).
3. If needed, the other device is formatted with btrfs filesystem, with
appropriate warnings.
4. The system creates a btrfs snapshot, and uses "btrfs send" and "btrfs
receive" to copy it to the other device.
5. The system performs any device-specific setup required to have it
boot from the other device.
6. The user is instructed that the system will shutdown, and then they
should remove the micro SD card, and reboot.
7. The system boots from the new storage device.

Re: [Freedombox-discuss] Best hardware for Freedombox

[Daddy]

Heh well you would have to define meaning of "the best" first. Freedombox fits 
several use cases (personal cloud, privacy tools, router), so your chosen use 
case will influence the choice.

Some supported applications are more resource hungry than others, too. Ie I'm 
finding syncthing to have a great benefit to my everyday computing life, but it 
is also quite resource heavy. What apps do you plan on using? 

Also, do you have a price constraints?

Etc. Etc.

[Freedombox-discuss] Best hardware for Freedombox

[Iain Cheyne]

What is the best supported hardware for Freedombox? Android supports Nexus
and Pixel devices the best. What is the equivalent for Freedombox?

There's a list at the wiki ,
but which is best?
