Instantly Free Up Almost 1GB on Your Raspberry Pi By Ditching LibreOffice and Wolfram

One of the really nice things about the newest builds of Raspbian is that it comes with just about all the software you need to get running. The downside of that is that all that software takes up a ton of space. RasPi.tv points out you can quickly snag about a 1GB back by deleting two apps: LibreOffice and Wolfram.

From the architect. A closed complex of modernized and new buildings meets the needs of a modern industrial works. There is a new office building close to the river and a bike path, and a repair hall with a crane runway and workshops by the road. Grown trees separate both parts of the complex.

The complex will substantially upgrade the original deteriorated condition – green areas will be larger complemented new pathways. The shape and size of buildings respond to the natural shape of the lot and copy its borders. Buildings are mutually positioned to establish differentiated environment outside and inside the area and a screen visually and functionally separating the industrial complex from the main roads.

By its morphology and traditional building materials – wood, concrete, glass and steel structures for shading sails/screens – the oblong office building evokes the relation of the business with water and with water structures. The main wall is clad in wood and window openings cut through it act as a flood barrier at the same time. It is continued by a glazed part, shaded by a system of independent sails set in front and terminated by a reinforced concrete gable roof.

Caminito del Rey by RafaelSB by RafaelSB

El Caminito del Rey es realmente un lugar alucinante. Se encuentra en el “Desfiladero de los Gaitanes” en las montañas de Málaga (España). Fue creado a principios del s.XX para comunicar dos centrales hidroeléctricas y que los operarios de mantenimiento de ambas instalaciones pudieran pasar de una a otra evitando dar un gran rodeo. Con el tiempo y por falta de mantenimiento en las pasarelas, se convirtió en una ruta muy peligrosa, apta solo para montañeros expertos y aventureros muy osados. Llegó incluso a prohibirse su paso por él tras la muerte de varias personas que intentaron cruzarlo.
Actualmente ha sido completamente restaurado y es apto para cualquier persona que sea capaz de recorrer sus 8 Km de longitud y que no padezca de vértigo, ya que en algunos tramos las pasarelas discurren a 120 metros de altura.

El Caminito del Rey is really an amazing place. It is located in “Desfiladero de los Gaitanes” in the mountains of Malaga (Spain). It was created in the early twentieth century to communicate two hydroelectric plants and maintenance workers of both facilities could pass from one to another to avoid giving a wide berth. With time and lack of maintenance on the runways, it became a very dangerous route, suitable only for experienced mountaineers and very daring adventurers. He even banned its passage by him after the death of several people who tried to cross it.
It has now been completely restored and is suitable for anyone who is able to cover its 8 km long and does not suffer from vertigo, because in some sections gateways run 120 meters.
