A totally appropriate reaction!

I felt that. It took me 3 overnight sessions to download the "Throw a pie at Bill Gates" screensaver over 14.4 dial-up back in the day.

Spoiler: The GIF doesn't. Will spare you the time I wasted waiting for it lol.

If I could get that in a thinner profile, I would totally and proudly hang that on my wall as art.

Can you, like, just post the YouTube link so my browser extension can re-write it to the Invidious instance running in my basement instead of one that's slow, overloaded, and halfway across the world?

Anyone who cares is already re-writing Youtube links, and posting links to random Invidious instance is just inconveniencing us.

And the same goes to anyone else posting Invidious links and thinking they're "sticking it to the man". You're not. Most people don't care, and you're only sticking it to the people who do care by forcing us to use a non-preferred instance.

Just 👏 post 👏 the 👏 Youtube 👏 link.

This allows for seamless communication with biological cells

Whatever. As long as I can run LineageOS or Debian on it.

On October 21, look up?

Such a good show. It deserved better.

No super powers, just a smart woman doing her thing.

Constantly. Usually it takes the form of reducing topics to binary choices and/or purity tests.

  • "You're either with me or against me / You're either part of the solution or part of the problem"
    • Where "part of the solution" means doing exactly, and only exactly what they think you should be doing.
  • "If you don't satisfy all of my impossible requirements, you're ~~as bad as~~ a nazi"
  • "We only agree on 99 out of 100 things, so clearly you're not to be trusted"
  • etc

Did she? Or did Michelle Obama do it and she's just plagiarizing it?

I realize this is Raspberry Pi community, but considering the overlap, I hope Pi-adjacent is acceptable.

Looking at the Orange Pi Zero W2 for a project since it's available with a lot more RAM than the Pi ZeroW2 (1-4 GB vs 512 MB). I'm not doing anything complex with it (no GPIO, USB gadget, etc), and it'll basically just be a tiny server running Kiwix and possibly some light groupware and/or file share. Maybe even CodeServer if I go with the 4 GB model.

Essentially my requirements for it are:

  • Wifi AP support so devices can connect to it. Preferably AP+STA so it can also provide internet and PiHole services.
  • Runs a supported distro (e.g. not the one-and-done version from the manufacturer that's never updated)
  • Fairly stable
  • Supports 256 to 512 GB SD card

According to what I've read, Armbian seems to be the go-to distro for these boards. It also seems to be supported by DietPi.

I've got a handful of Pi Zero's (both 1 and 2) and they work well, but even with zram enabled, I'm limited by the 512 MB of memory, so these "fruit clone" ones are tempting. Anyone have hands-on experience with them? Is there a better distro besides Armbian? Should I just stick with Raspberry Pi and manage with the limited RAM?

 
 

As a general rule, I will never click a link unless it clearly states where it's taking me. Except I needed to see what the error meant, so I clicked open on it. Yay interstitial ads! 😠
