80s’re

I tried and bricked my S10+

Soft bricked, can probably recover but have not got the time to bring it back.

They’ere’s

Is Orca that resource intensive? I’m running it in a container with KasmVNC and have never really checked out the resource usage. Admittedly it’s on one of my local servers in another room. I guess it’s how large your projects are too.

Edit: maybe it’s just my small projects

Oh free lithium batteries. I’ve got a decent sized stash of cells salvaged from disposables. Some of their cases I want to use as project boxes for esp devices.

Will be sad once the supply dries up for us electronics folks.

They better stay away from .mom domains

It was even ported to the original Xbox. I remember the total games file size being incredibly small - compared to most other titles on that system.

Might not be what you had in mind, but NixOS “kind-of” ticks all your boxes.

For me NixOS is a build your own distro more so than Arch could ever be.

My config covers antiquated meme worthy notebooks with 4gb ram, desktop with an ultra wide monitor and dedicated graphics, two headless servers running services, containers, transcoding video / cctv; aaand my daily driver laptop.

As far as 2nd hand laptop are concerned - it’s very location specific. My neck of the woods it’s buy online or hope some locally has marked something at a reasonable price.

Valetudo exists for local only operation of robot vacuums. Not for the point and click among our modern society, but if someone was paranoid enough they’d probably make it happen.

Sorry if that sounds like a jab, not intended 😅

Many “smart” devices can be modified, blocked or just not connected in the first place. I prefer to waste hours of my life figuring out extravagant ways to break these devices, only sometimes enabling local only functions.

Ehhhh, mental outlaw made a video on just that topic a few hours ago.

TLDW: people didn’t update packages for illegal tings, glowys rolled up.

Let’s me repurpose an old phone for some headless container funtimes. If I can infect it with NixOS I’ll be golden.

Mikrotik are really aimed at advanced users, ubiquiti brand themselves as prosumer products. I found the Ubiquiti interface a complete mess - but it could just be me.

If it can run OpenWRT I’d suggest taking that path (if you like to tinker / the device supports it). My Google WiFi hubs are still humming away after all these years - now with way more features and a usable interface!

“You see, killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down.”

We’re getting things ready for you ( )

Dear god, I do vaguely remember their launch (not my portfolio while working in PC component procurement) but had completely pushed that from my head.

Looks like LG have the same thing going on too, what a waste of silicon.

You have wifi / ethernet in your PC monitor?

Ranger… Those things are a monstrosity.

Whatever happened to Ford Falcon Utes. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Ford_AUII_Falcon_XR8_Ute.JPG/1920px-Ford_AUII_Falcon_XR8_Ute.JPG

Whatever happened to vehicles that don’t require steps to exit / enter the cab. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/1999_Ford_Falcon_(AU)_XR8_sedan_(2004-01-24)_02.jpg/1920px-1999_Ford_Falcon_(AU)_XR8_sedan_(2004-01-24)_02.jpg

The obsession / normalisation of huge vehicles that transport generally one person is toxic beyond belief. I feel like shit driving my 1.4L shitbox most places, sure it’s convenient but it’s not great for the environment, my wallet or my health. Can’t imagine the wasted resources from people driving their emotional support vehicles to do their errands.

I run my 4800hs / 1650 laptop in hybrid mode, it’s ‘OK’ on battery but I bought it used and it’s seen some usage (70% health) in its past life. I’ve been using hyprland for maybe 6 months now and support has only improved with time.

You will run into issues with specific multiplayer titles in a VM, depending on what you plan on playing having a 2nd partition might be the way to go. Some titles won’t care being in a VM, some will flat-out refuse to work or kick you after some time, many are compatible out of the box under Linux / Proton.

Supergfxctl is a handy tool for toggling your dedicated card, my laptop is ASUS so I can’t be certain on the level of compatibility you may see with said tool.
