1932 Elementary School

-
This elementary school sits forgotten and boarded up in a South-Atlanta neighborhood. It is in good company, as many of the neighboring houses also sit forgotten and boarded up. The school was closed in 2004.

    Nice photos. It is a shame to see old buildings like these sit vacant. Hopefully it will see some future reuse. Also, interesting to see there's been no vandalism.

Sonoff S31 Disassemble and Flash Instructions

Anyhow, since I run Debian 12 with LVM and an encrypted root filesystem, recovering the grub bootloader was a very manual process.  I'm adding the steps I used here for my own future reference.  Yours will probably be different.  This assumes you know your way around Linux, hardware device mappings, &etc.  Please don't ask me for help recovering your own system unless you're also offering me $200/hr for my time. 1.
