Thanks. Now I’m gonna start calling AI news summaries “tAIbloids” and make fun of the people who use them. 😆

Mine is also from the “Born to be a Bureaucrat” song but it’s the “born to be all obsessive and snotty. I made my friends and relations fill long applications to get into my tenth birthday party” part.


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.

Obviously they match, but which came first? The attitude or that haircut?



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.

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


but it was removed by automod (?)
This community only allows news articles.


Is Optimus Prime the original “boob windows” ?


Because if we don’t build and profit from the Torment Nexus, someone else will
Sounds like at least a minor improvement. Can those me moved and still work? Like, if I move the project folder, do I have to reinitialize it and download all the packages again?
For me, it’s the rigid and wonky virtual environments. I get why they’re useful and necessary, but they’re awkward to use. Like, Node just works from the working directory with no fuss and python has to be all source {venv}/bin/activate and lord help you if you need to move it.
Plus, I have never liked that the spacing is load-bearing.
You’re empathizing with the troll, too? 👀
FYI: What the troll is describing is not required all. I don’t know what they’re on about, but I’ve used ldap-js in many projects without having to do any of that.
For the longest time (relatively speaking), I would do full stack Javascript (like the meme). But I have to frequently tie into AD/LDAP and the only decent NodeJS library for LDAP is no longer maintained because the community was shitty to the dev. Now I’ve had to venture out into Go (I can’t stand working in Python).
Let this be a reminder to be nice to the developers who are giving you their hard work for free.


Unfortunately, our WAF appliances don’t have a Heisenberg compensator.
I’m sure we’re past that now and firmly in the “you’re just gonna have to deal with it” phase.
