I was trying to show off my darling little Raspi to my extended family but nobody was impressed. So my #GratefulForYou nod today goes out to all my Fedi friends who enjoy and delight in this kind of stuff. And thank you for always teaching me new things 🥹

@elena Simply mount a real apple with duct tape right where the raspberry logo is and your peers will immediately be impressed. 😂

@kiwiWolle hahahaha.

To be fair my Mac Mini M4 isn’t much bigger and it has 48GB of RAM 🙊

But I can’t flash different OSs so easily, so the Raspi is a little marvel to me

@elena @kiwiWolle the ability to just get a stack of 5€ SD cards and try *everything* was a real game-changer for me!

@claudius @kiwiWolle wow! see, I wanted to ask if people swap microSD cards to try out different distros / things. I was too afraid to ask that, so it looks like I will try this. Thank you! 😅​

@elena @kiwiWolle for a while, I used SD cards as my go-to thing to fill up orders to the "free shipping" minimum order.

Ordering something for fifty bucks where 59 bucks gets you free shipping? I'll just throw two SD-Cards in the mix.

Someone mentions "MITMproxy"? great, pop in a new SD-Card! How about Pi-Hole? Yeah, got a few spares, just go for it :-D

I basically tape micro-SD-Cards to a sticky note and note down what's on it, or passwords, or whatever I think is most useful.

@claudius @elena Completely understand where you’re coming from. Why waste ten bucks on shipping when twelve gets you something else useful and unlocks free shipping?!!
The weirdest deal in that regards was this year when some vendor clearing inventory offered 40 or 50 new Lexar 32GB fast SD cards for less than 50 bucks. Can’t find the receipt, wanted to add it as proof since it seemed too good to be true, but indeed happened. Cheap way “sharing” no return media.
