@h3 that's gonna be the NAS with the lowest computing power 2025 has ever seen haha

@h3 ooo, yay! Someone is tinkering with the hardware I pulled out of an e-waste bin 12-ish years ago 😂

IIRC the company making these published a PDF outlining how to build a LFS image, but I never managed to do it with a kernel that wasn't wildly out of date back then already.

Good luck and keep us posted! PS: how old is the Debian on that example SD card? Debian 3 or Debian 4?

@mattgrayyes @jonty i like it. After all, those jacks individually work in any orientation. Even better than USB-C? 🤔🫣

@b0rk @mwl that sounds cool!
I've hosted my mail for a long while, but I stopped because of some challenges with the big hosters. I will pick up that book for sure, there is always something to learn.

@glow have you read Gideon the Ninth? Its not exactly romance, but it is queer.

@delroth I know I'm way late to this post but still. Do you or anyone else know similar stories about https://vlang.io/ or https://ziglang.org/ ?

Why would you log thread IDs when you can use emoji instead?

Updating the Performance Inequality Gap series [1] (post soon), but here's a teaser: new CPU charts, by price band. Single-core perf matters for web apps, and I won't sugarcoat; it's grim.

The fastest Androids are half as fast as contemporary iPhones (now 4+ years behind) and volume devices (~$300USD) are 1/5th as fast as iPhones.

Building for iPhones erects walls around wealth and precludes effective access to participation in society for those without means.

@b0rk That's a super cool idea! I love the info sheet and the graph! 😍

(PS: I had a weird issue. `history` only showed the last 10-20 commands. I tried to look up that issue, and that seems to be ✨ a thing✨ on zsh. `bash` and `zsh` might be `fc -l 1 -1` to show every command in the history.
PPS: I accidentally truncated my history file to 500 lines when starting a `zsh` shell with `--no-rc` 😭)
