  • Probably a good idea to go see how much storage will be necessary...

  • 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.

  • For sure. My shower thought is just that they won't be anything like the simple pleasure of the DVD screensaver. It would probably ads that cycle through.

    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.

  • I know right? If you can find a better one that pays out, send me a link and I'll happily update the post. I couldn't find one that wasn't forced and only went in the corner.

  • 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.

  • Have you seen progressive people be discriminatory either intentionally or unintentionally and if so in what way?

    Jump

  • 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

  • It's time to stop using SMS, here's why!

  • I agree, but so does SMS/MMS. I'm only comparing apples to apples as far as the default messaging experience on the device is concerned.

  • It's time to stop using SMS, here's why!

    Jump

  • I mean, RCS as a technology is fine. Just needs Google and Apple out of the mix. If it wants to replace SMS, it needs to be a carrier-run system.

    Jump

  • You herd the group of cats that are all my friends, family, and work colleagues and get them to use a standard app that's not Facebook Messenger. 😆 You'll have to forgive me if I don't wait.

    RCS, seriously? Not sure how that is outside the US, but it's a total non-starter if you're not using your phone in a Google-blessed configuration. Rooted? No RCS for you. No Google Play Services? No RCS for you. Don't like "Google Messages" and want to use any other messaging app? Believe it or not, no RCS for you.

    Maybe if the day ever comes where Google is excised from the RCS infrastructure it'll be a viable option, but as it stands ( at least in the US where I have experience with it), it's definitely not a replacement for SMS.
