๐Ÿ‘‹Hi, I'm Aaron, nice to meet you!
๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ I (sometimes) make videos on the internet that vaguely resemble good content.
๐Ÿ“ธ I also sometimes do little photography experiments.
๐ŸงOf course I run Linux, it's in the name :)
๐Ÿฆฃ I wanted to try out Mastodon about 2 years ago, and I ended up here. Never used Birdsite!

Stop letting Brother steal your money with expensive refills!!! :ablobcatattention:
(They may not do it with printers, but they sure do love to scam you with label printer refills)

Embossing label makers still exist, and they're cheap as dirt. :ablobcatbongo:

I thought these refills were cheaper, and they are, just not by as much as I thought...

I found a company on Amazon that sells assortments of resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, ICs, screws, nuts, standoffs, and a whole load of other things in these really neat boxes. :blobwizard:
I wish more companies sold their small part assortments like this... :ablobcatwave:

If you want them, they're called EEEEE Electronics, though they don't seem to exist outside of Amazon which at least a little questionable...

Seriously though, too many companies sell their resistors in boxes full of 100+ barely labeled plastic bags that are impossible to sort through. :blobcatgooglytrash:

I put in some work on a better site for the Agon light a while ago and I don't remember sharing it with you...

ok so i'm using the xfce beta of solus now and it seems to be doing well so far

i've ruled out the possibility of in browser media viewing instead using freetube for youtube videos and streamlink twitch gui for twtcih streams via mpv

i can conclude that while linux can do well with the atom that's in the minis forum z83-f it's not going to magically revive such a weak device

i still paid less than a rpi3 cost altogether though

@codydragonrude
I just remembered Crunchbangplusplus and BunsenLabs which both use straight Openbox as their DE, making it even lighter weight.
Still not gonna do that much, but every little bit matters :)

Why aren't there any reviews of that Star Labs StarLite tablet with real pictures/video of the tablet? :thinking:

after much hopping around where i've landed so far is void linux built from base using lxqt

if anyone knows of anything lighter than lxqt but is not a bunch of hotkeys let me know

i'm trying to find the best option for a weak intel atom cpu and 4gb of DDR3L ram

@codydragonrude
It uses LXQT, so pretty similar, but Debian and it's just an all-in-one package.

Ah, didn't realize ๐Ÿ˜…
Normal Rpi OS is 64 bit now, so it's weird they haven't updated the desktop edition...

Concept:
We need to make homebrew computers the norm again.

@OpenComputeDesign
Some of my personal favorites right now:
Agon Light Origins Edition (of course)
Amethyst (because it's so well put together)
...I guess you're right, we do need more :blobcat3csmirk:

Conspiracy theory:
Google purposefully destroyed its search quality so when they shoved AI into it, they could claim it made their search "better"

Yes that is RGB on an "official" Atari product.
I will take no further questions.

Fair, but at least give them credit for creating that Atari VCS Linux box...
