I’m beautiful and tough like a diamond…or beef jerky in a ball gown.
Loops finally seems usable now. I tried the beta a while back and it was kinda “Meh” but it’s improved significantly since. And you can browse on the website now, too. I’m not into short form videos, but credit where it’s due.
Well, I do like short form videos, but I hate panning for the gems and just let my friends send me the ones that rise to top.
It’s so common for “anti-censorship” to be code for “Nazi-friendly” that I’m immediately suspicious of any platform that uses that as a selling point.
I’m similarly suspicious, but it’s not just code for “nazi-friendly” but also crackpots, maladaptives, etc. Rational people who read and say “anti-censorship” in this context know it means that it’s not beholden to corporate or government interests. But everyone else seems to want to interpret that as “I can say whatever I want! How dare you mod anything I say?! Freeze-peach, y’all!”
I wish they’d pick a different term for these non-corporate alternatives, but I don’t have a better suggestion to offer right now.
The irony of Lennart “let’s change everything about Linux because I know better” Poettering creating a company called Amutable is not lost on me.
But also, that tracks because now it’s “I know better so now you can’t change anything” which is pretty on brand.
Love my deck … Kind of got side tracked gaming
You sound like me lol: Side tracked by the device’s primary purpose.
Dunno how I missed this, but I referenced this post as a reply to another and am just now seeing it.
The box I ssh into is headless, and AFAIK, use of /media/{user}/{mountpoint} is just a desktop environment convention. When I plug in any kind of removable media to this box, I manually mount it under /mnt. I mount my NAS’s media share to /media mostly for convenience since that’s the main purpose of this box in my workshop.
Not that I’d own a smart fridge, but if I did and they started shoving ads on it, it’d look like this later that day:
Underappreciated top
That was my nickname in college.
Ooh, I haven’t tried RTL-SDR on it yet, but I think I’m nearing capacity on what it can do at once lol.
Here’s the block diagram for it (in spoiler below). Everything’s up and running except the Bluetooth Receiver -> Snapcast (it works on the bench but I don’t have the scripting/automation done yet). I’m also adding an SMA connector for an external antenna, but the new base part is still printing. Photo shows it “as is” of this writing.
SSL for the web apps was a PITA since I wanted real certs. Had to make a wildcard domain under my main hobby domain, so all my apps are like “https://{APP_NAME}.mobile.mydomain.xyz/”
As soon as I can get the Bluetooth + Pulseaudio scripting done, I’m gonna try to do a write up and maybe a show/tell post.
I would love to have a small Wikipedia browser that can survive the apocalypse.
I’ve got the full 120 GB Wikipedia dump running in Kiwix on a Raspberry Pi Zero. Works great (surprisingly)
E-ink display, mini keyboard
Have been using a Minimal Phone for a few months now which has both of those. Can connect to the Pi easily.
multiple ways/ports to transfer info,
Add a USB-C hub (or add a hub to the Pi) and you’re set
All wrapped up in a heavy duty equipment case that’s able to survive a building collapses and burns in an earthquake, that’s shielded from EMP.
And that’s where I’m limited - My 3D printer can only do so much lol. 😆
I’ve been working on a side project this week with a Orange Pi Zero 2W (Pi Zero “clone” but with better specs). It’s got the Kiwix+Wikipedia like my older Pi (described above) plus a bunch of other neat stuff. It’s kind of a combination travel router, portable web app server, party box, and extremely over-engineered bluetooth speaker all-in-one. Hoping to put together a show-and-tell post about it when I get the last of it squared away.
What kind of mad person shuffles their whole collection?
Me! lol
The musical whiplash is strong. It’ll go Pantera, Slipknot, Lady Gaga, Children of Bodom, the theme from Three’s Company, Spice Girls, Waylon Jennings, N’Sync, Foo Fighters, STP, Britney Spears, etc. You never know what’s next.
The sad thing is I have a fully functional MPD + Snapcast setup I could use (including a TUI MPD client), but this is just what I’ve always done. Old habits and such lol.
Most of the last mile fiber network is passive (doesn’t require active electronics to pass the signal like DOCSIS/cable internet or ADSL).
Cable and DSL typically have the equivalent of UPSs in their neighborhood nodes, but they often go unmaintained.
That’s basically what EFI booting does.
Initramfs’s main purpose is to load enough of a system to be able to load/boot the kernel and everything else from the hard disk. It’s also used for more complex boot scenarios such as loading LUKS and providing a password prompt if the root partition is encrypted.
I like how I was courageous enough to not fix the actual typos/failed commands in the actual history lol.
Pretty much, yeah.
Rather than jot down in a text file the various ffmpeg commands I use frequently…

I understand why, but I still hate it. Thankfully there’s Grand Theft Focus
Damn Small Linux (Knoppix-based) which was the gateway drug to Fedora Core 4 on an old Pentium III that was lying arouind.
Which is more horrifying? Kerneld or PulseLinux?
As long as Lennart Poettering isn’t anywhere near the line of succession lol.
In my experience, the worse the photograph the better my memory of it. Probably because my mind is already used to filling in the blanks in the garbage version, so it’s constantly refreshing the memory in my mind to keep it vivid. YMMV obviously. I’m also not much of a shutterbug and prefer to commit moments to memory than try to fight with my phone to snap a photo I’ll probably never look at.
