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.
