Show HN: Beepberry – a portable e-paper computer for hackers
First off - this thing was designed to be a fun hacker toy, not a real product. Buyer beware!
Plan for power management is pretty simple - trim as much fat from OS startup sequence as possible to get boot-times down to ~5s, eg https://github.com/IronOxidizer/instant-pi. Then turn the Pi off as much as possible. Write to screen, turn off Pi. Set timers on rp2040 to turn Pi on periodically.

Fast boot image...IronOxidizer/instant-pi ?
I identified IronOxidizer/instant-pi ( https://github.com/IronOxidizer/instant-pi ) as a good candidate to quickly boot a zero-W, but I can't push the build script through a myriad errors and make it work on my computer. Is there a pre-built image somewhere that can be used instead of building from source?
- SBC with very fast boot, OR decent suspend/sleep modes?

SteamOS for the Steam Deck gets slimmed down to 10GB
Raises my 68MB (3.7MB gzipped) RPi image that can't do anything outside of Busybox and Shell.

Just noticed the trees display a message in reverse: "Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (lzo compressed)". In 2077 even the trees run Linux!
Isn't lzo still better on devices with extremely underpowered cpus? I remember doing such a benchmark for my pi0 when using buildroot and lz4 always ended up ahead: https://github.com/IronOxidizer/instant-pi

remote management gui?
Is there a btrfs management interface that can be accessed/used remotely? I'm talking about an (independant - not a distro) interface like Rockstor or Truenas Scale. I've been searching until my eyes bug out of my skull and I can't find anything. Good peeps of reddit, please am I missing something? I've found plenty of great projects but not what I'm looking for: snapper-gui - single purpose/not remote snapper - single purpose / not a gui and I hate it (sorry) yast - distro specific https://github.com/yourbsod/btrfs-gui - vaporware? timeshift / autosnap - local only and single purpose btrfs-assistant - not remote https://github.com/kdave/btrfsmaintenance - different purpose and not a gui buttermanager - I was unable to try but seems to require grub-btrfs
- do we need to run maintenance commands like scrub every now and then?
- Is my setup plan okay, or should i give up on btrfs?

The btrfsmaintainence project also has services that cover scrub along with other services you might consider running regularly which are set up to not conflict and run at the same time.
