Related to OP’s question: is it possible to have the 1B boot from something other than an SD card?

I ran it as a PiHole for awhile, until it chewed through two SD cards. I’d like to use it for the GPIO functionality but I don’t want have it randomly crap out again.

In Linux it is possible to turn the screen off after a timeout and keep the system on with the lid closed.

Vikunja has become my whole life todo list app and I throw server stuff on there too. I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit.
