Narrative: I was on the roof trying to repair my Raspberry Pi ADSB receiver most of the evening. I checked the temperature of the Pi earlier today and it was 74C which is just under throttling temp. When I checked the throttling status it showed that insufficient power was being supplied to the Pi.

It was a lot of work to change out the power source tonight. I had a tiny 12V USB power supply that should have been sufficient. I changed that out for a rather large potted 24V 3A 5V power supply that I connected using an old Cana Kit micro USB power cord.

White Fragility: I’ve given a lot of thought tonight about the black population and the systemic racism that they have to deal with. It’s true that we white privileged Americans won’t change our habits unless they make us suffer a little. (And keep their knees on our necks for a while.) However they cannot get greedy and hurt us white folks enough that we rebel, then they’ll get nothing changed after that. They’ve crossed the line with the monuments and now they are shooting innocent drivers in their cars when they get scared. Protestors should not be able to encircle someone’s vehicle until they are threatened by the imprisonment of the driver in their vehicle that cannot move.
