@iska I'm not a window cleaner!

@yukiame
Is this Zuckerman vs. Musk thing? I'm not placing my bets unless it is a fight to death 😈

@iska Is this common nowadays or is it just the model that you have recently bought? It's sad if it's the former.
Why not WRT3200ACM or something similar then? They are still pretty decent spec-wise (unless you need 100Gbps wireless or whatever they have these days — doesn't make any sense to me 😄), have lots of ports and should be well-supported by OpenWRT?

@thatguyoverthere Problem is, modern protocols and even hardware require a lot of workarounds to function properly in real world scenarios, but linux kernel had already accumulated a sizeable momentum in this regard, which makes it a more attractive choice to most, despite it being an absolutely horrible piece of garbage 🤷
@iska

@thatguyoverthere I think it's really good from design (not UI design though 😅) perspective, which makes it attractive for those who want to build things from the ground up — problem is, there are few people like that, most are interested in using something that is only slightly better than what they already have.

Get! Get our app! It's the best app ever… don't you GET it? 😂

@p
They did the same to Windows Phone though, despite it being really good — the only good thing to come out of MS in years. They are pretty consistent at killing off good things and remaining persistent pushing the worst bullshit imagineable 😄 @11112011 @kirby @MisterRogersSnapped

@GhostOnTheHalfShell
I think fire is a lot more common "in the wild" than EMP, but the point is still valid 😅
However, as @lispi314 has noted, the problem is not the medium itself, there is tech for long-term digital preservation, but it's seldomly used at present.

I am Controller of Planet X and I have invited you here to discuss something that is very important.

> what *does* discord offer people that it is so popular?
"Everyone does that, so why don't we?"
I think it's the status quo, when the question of organizing as a community arises, there's a person who can do it using Discord as he/her has already done that in the past. Discord isn't hard to use, most are more comfortable using chats nowadays than they are with forums, and it's still better than using something like Telegram 🤷

> UART adapter and soldering stuff to flash openwrt on it
Wow! My Netgear had been flashable from its own web UI 🤷

@catto Well, it is slow-ish, it also acts as a seedbox and at times when some peer is using a lot of network (and likely disk) bandwidth I have to refresh a couple of times to see my notifications. But it's still okay for a single-user instance. For some reason PowerPC Macs were way better operating low on RAM. Even running several heavy applications in Mac OS X was bearable on 1 gig, equally specced Intel Mac is unpleasant to use 🤷

@catto The MacMini my Peloorma instance runs on originally had Transistor's Red figurine sitting on top of it (together with her portrait next to it), but one of my cats took a habit of jumping up there to "do cat things" — you know, pushing stuff off the cabinet, so I had to hide her 😅

@ThatCrazyDude They sure do, but, like I said, it might have to do with 1080p resolution — it's not high for a modern GPU (or APU in this case) and it might look very good on smaller screen, but if your intended use case is hooking it up to external display, it might not work that well.
Anyway, I don't have personal experience with these devices — it's just what my concern would be. Maybe they did do something truly groundbreaking and it won't be a problem 🤷
It looks very attractive otherwise.

@ThatCrazyDude Same problem as with ultra-compact laptops — they might look great spec-wise and they might give you this performance on shorter workload like processing a photo, but thermal design isn't always on par, so if it's high AND constant workload, their coolers just spin up to the maximum and never spin down, and despite even that CPU and GPU might get throttled in about 20 minutes.

@ThatCrazyDude These things are supposed to run at native resolution of their built-in display, they run hot as hell's potato at higher one. At least this is the actual photo I've seen online of the older model with upgraded SSD: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/108617566958603005
I don't know whether it's SSD which is to blame or if it's true at all, but it very well might be, considering its miniature size.

@furbyonsteroids And even if you don't wish to have a Fedi account to follow, every public user page has an rss-feed. At least on Prelooma and Masto, but I'm pretty sure, it's also true for other software.
