Hardly the wilds: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Gw2aiyPXBCL8jJhV8
Wow, did the place change in two years. That blue building just SHOT up there.
I wonder if this being a digital billboard is actually cheaper than just hiring some workers to swap out the printed advertisement every, I dunno how often they normally change, week or so?
The benefit is being able to display 3+ different ads on rotation that change every minute or two. That, and labor is cheaper when they’re not 50ft off the ground
Labour is expensive
Linux is also used on billboards now? Nice
Always has been
Always has been
I think I saw Windows on billboards and projectors a few times in my country. Don’t remember seeing Linux much
It’s been for a while. It’s cheap and easily-embeddable with a proper network stack for remote management. It’s a decade at least, but I can only gauge since I first saw a net guy in an adjacent desk fighting with a parks n rec guy over one not working.
(it wasn’t DNS: it was fucking radios/wireless)
the wilds of Nova Scotia
Walking across the Windsor Street exchange is wild for sure.
They have a cross walk now, I feel so safe now.
Nova Scotia is looking a bit ROUGH though.

We’re all in this together. At least until rent is so high that we just leave lmao
Reminds me of the garbage can that keeps crashing at the Tim Horton’s downtown
That looks like a network issue.
And a storage issue as well maybe
The way I see it, it looks like it can’t write the files because it can’t fetch them from the network. Without a lot dump I may very well be wrong, though.
Maybe Devuan or another Debian derivative.
My money is on Raspbian. Because it’s very likely powered by a Raspberry Pi.
Not Debian, it is how the arch Linux distros boot after the grub menu.
