EasyOS Dunfell 4.0 coming ...eventually
Actually, it is uploading right now.
The problem is, I changed the folder layout for the releases, into year sub-folders:
https://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/amd64 ... s/dunfell/
Previously, every release was immediately under the "dunfell" folder, but this made a lot of work for rsync whenever uploaded a new version.
Also, it is nice to see the releases categorized into year.
However, rsync has had to re-upload every release, and it has used up my 50GB monthly allotment with Vodafone, on my phone (I use the phone as my wi-fi hotspot).
It starts at the beginning of each calendar month, and when the limit is reach, drops down to a slower speed.
It is a fixed-price contract, which is great, but then I do have to tolerate the slow speed when over the limit.
It is now only June 8, so have to wait until July 1 before get back the 50GB at high speed.
Right now uploading 3.4.3, so will get to 4.0 eventually, perhaps several hours from now. I was wondering why upload had become so slow, then saw the text message from Vodafone on my phone, informing me that the limit has been exceeded.
The low speed is still quite good, 2 mega-bits per sec, using now posting to the forum. Just not so good for uploading massive files to ibiblio.org
I am quite excited about 4.0, for two reasons. Firstly, so fast. Any previous observation about slow app startup in containers, that is gone.
Secondly, while running there are no writes to the drive. So if booted off a flash stick, it can be expected to last "forever".
These two features show great promise for the RaspberryPi, and my next plan is to do a complete aarch64 recompile in OpenEmbedded, then bring out another release for the RPi. That might be a week or two away.
Now that's annoying; I just now looked at Vodafone's BYO SIM unlimited data phone plans:

My plan has a 50GB limit, costing me AU$35 per month, but look what Vodafone now offer! 80GB at $40 per month. They even go up to unlimited high speed for AU$60 per month.
Hmmm, looks like I will be visiting my local Vodafone shop (which very conveniently is a 10 minute walk from my home!).
