NEW VIDEO! I put Ubuntu 24.04 minimum requirements to the test with a very old Mac Mini.

@ActionRetro I've got four retired 2010 Mac Minis (that were servers in a previous life), as well as a load of spare SATA SSDs. New DDR3 is cheap and plentiful.

Now that you've done all that, you've got me thinking of what else I could do with a stack of four fully-upgraded mid-2010s... 🤔

NEW VIDEO! Running Mac OS on an Apple II

@ActionRetro It almost feels more (but not quite) like this turns the Apple II into a terminal for a mainframe which is running in one of the Apple II's own card slots.

But as a video title, that doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

NEW VIDEO! I built an M2 powered iMac G4 and it's everything I dreamt it would be.

@ActionRetro Amazing. Honestly Juicycrumb should consider a version of the board that just accommodates a modern Mac Mini motherboard. I suspect more than a few people would buy it!

@NanoRaptor Towards the end of the product lifecycle, Apple made some minor modifications and sold it rebadged as the Macintosh SMLC.

@ActionRetro I unironically love it. Judge me if you dare.

Another day cleaning out our last office where Mac OS X Server legacy still hides.

Just lifted up a random CD jewel case (for Microsoft Frontpage XP) and there was a stack of NINE Apple decals, two stickers each (that's 19 Apples).

Man, we office-workers are packrats. 😅

Welp, I think I'm going to make the EV plunge with a used 2020 Model 3 😬

Geekman,
@Geekman@bitbang.social avatar

@ActionRetro May or may not suit the price range (and not sure if used is an option in your general area), but last year my wife and I got a new Kona EV. We'd been saving for a while. The reviews all said it was an excellent car and they were right.

I don't miss anything about gas cars. Not the noise or the weak performance or control feel or paying for gas to burn and destroy the planet. I love my EV, period.

(And yes, generally the software works very well.)

Hi folks – My stuff is on Threadless too, but I'm sometimes bad at keeping my shop up to date because the designs interface can be very slow.

Well, I've added/updated designs in the shop and Threadless is having their Memorial Day sale. If you like my stuff but have hesitated because of pricing (or you don't like TeePublic), this might be an opportunity for you.

@freehours9 It's... fine? 😅 The print quality is generally quite solid – durable, decent colour-matching. The difficulty I find is using their design system, which is super sluggish and sometimes just times out.

I haven't used Cotton Bureau before so I don't have basis for comparison.
