    Yeah, my partner’s kid really enjoys being the one to read out board game instructions, and it’s …not the best way for me to absorb information…

    But, he enjoys the fuck out of it, so whatever. As long as I have access to the printed rules during my first playthrough, I’ll be fine.



  • Would be a good idea to check how close you are to the write limit, then. Pricier cards have a higher write limit, but all SD cards are limited.

    Luckily, once you hit the limit, it turns read-only, so you can move to a new card pretty easy, but it will happen eventually.

    Neat to know you’ve got a longer life out of the card you bought, though! I’ll have to look into cards that have a higher write limit for my next Pi project!


  • Beware, HomeAssistant absolutely eats SD cards.

    A pi booting from an SD card is a good way to test it out, but HA does so much logging and other writing to storage that the write limit on the card gets used up very quickly. Took my setup only like a month or two to die when I first started with HA.

    If you want to run HAOS on a pi long-term, you will need to set up a different boot drive that can handle more lifetime writes.
