I very much agree, Im not really picturing leo in his boat, sitting at his workstation configuring node red on a 12" display.
Im more thinking about the uncertified dummies like me who don’t get an adequate response and need to fix something quick without an installer. An ssh tunnel would be the industry standard for this, or even mounting the os via sftp for direct configuration seems ideal, with less gadgetry and more flexibility. If I didnt know my way around a linux system Id be lost for sure.
Its also essentially why I started this idea as well,
like what if a users firmware needs a mod in the middle of the ocean and they dont have an adapter or a starlink.
It seem, from my limited aspect, that the style is taking on a monstrosity of knowledge just to run some batteries and panels. Where if things were kept modular, the user/installer/distributor/professional really would be able to cater to unique use cases, based on the workability of their clients, be them themselves or others they are certified to help.
What if they were in a situation where they were forced to help themselves…or an installer by phone ?
