I mostly get paid to talk to my friends about computers which is nice.
It seems I was radicalised by basic decency. 🤷‍♂️
Making silly URLs, visualising complex weather data, a TUI network discovery tool, and an open source version of a classic synthesizer in discoveries, plus the sad reality that it’s more or less impossible to avoid code that’s been generated by “AI” these days.
I've got quite a few Raspberry Pi boards, including an original one that I bought at @oggcamp in 2012. I think it's fairly rare because it only has 256MB of RAM. Anyway, I decided to see if it can actually do something useful so installed Pi-hole on it.
Although it's quite slow when I have to ssh in and deal with config, the web interface is pretty responsive. I've been using it on my phone for a few hours but it's absolutely fine.
So maybe the Pi 1 is actually useful!
"Setting aside the moral arguments—"
You mean the power and water.
"Setting aside the power and water, and—"
Don't forget the industrial-scale plagiarism. The brazen theft.
"Setting aside the copyright fuckery, the power and water, and—"
Don't forget the maniacal, suicidal inflation of the bubble. Arguably the greatest single mis-allocation of resources in history, aside from war.
"Setting aside the financial madness, the copyright fuckery, the power and water, and—"
Don't forget the willful destruction of creative livelihoods, the willful destruction of education itself.
"Setting aside the destruction of art, writing, and schools, the financial madness, the copyright fuckery, the power and water, and—"
Don't forget the purposeful degradation of human cognitive capacity. The planned and designed addictive dependency.
"Setting aside the cognitive degradation, the destruction of schools, the financial madness, the copyright fuckery, the power and water, and—"
Don't forget the ghoulish ethical camouflage used to obscure, indeed to erase, the responsibility for decisions in budget austerity, insurance claims, regulatory oversight, medical decisions, court filings, and even real-time combat.
"Setting aside the monstrous mechanisms of official irresponsibility, the cognitive degradation, the schools, the financial madness, the copyright fuckery, the power and water—"
Are you going to say it doesn't work?
"IT DOES NOT FUCKING WORK"
We decided to give openSUSE a try. We had a great time. Honest.
