Oh, and I almost forgot another good quality! The #Tru unit is MUCH #quieter in operation than any other automatic drip machine I've had at home.

Bought this MeLE Quieter3C fanless mini-PC.

Seems a nice little machine, and not too-slow like the mini-PC it's replacing.

Installing Debian wasn't entirely smooth though. Wifi drivers not in Debian 12 yet.

Had to install over ethernet and then figure out how to compile and install the wifi afterwards.

These being the ones in question: ( https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89 )

In particular the required incantation is:
{{{
apt install dh-sequence-dkms debhelper build-essential devscripts make gcc build-essential git linux-headers-$(uname -r)
mkdir src
mkdir src/wifi
cd src/wifi/
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89
cd rtw89/
git clean -xfd
git deborig HEAD
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
cd ..
dpkg -i rtw89-dkms_1.0.2-3_all.deb
modprobe -v rtw_8852ae
}}}

Otherwise it seems a lovely machine.

Dunno why I sat around letting the default installed windows update before wiping it though. Wasted hours doing that for some reason. Then wasted ages figuring out the Debian wifi thing.

Still, the machine is plenty good enough now and my magic-mirror computer has progressed some.

Runs way hot though. Gonna have to be some careful case design when that part comes to avoid melting it.

Thinking more about this, it sounds like it’s not just the chemicals that are better for the #environment - it seems possible that these machines would draw less #energy and be much #quieter, too.

I spent 10 days in the Netherlands last month. It was lovely. Now that I've been home a few weeks, I understand European perspectives that Americans are too loud. I feel like everyone around me is yelling all the time.

Despite more users, seems a bit.... #quieter? As well as less engagement... #confused
> .. if we take power away from the boss.. the power is ours. But we.. don’t want the.. power the boss has..authoritarian; it’s paternalistic. The.. power #workers build with each other is built over time and through relationships, and not even through the sexier moments of organizing where we’re marching or rallying. It’s the #quieter moments, when you’re.. sitting in the car with someone driving around the city for hours, looking for their coworkers.
