Ooh, I haven’t tried RTL-SDR on it yet, but I think I’m nearing capacity on what it can do at once lol.

Here’s the block diagram for it (in spoiler below). Everything’s up and running except the Bluetooth Receiver -> Snapcast (it works on the bench but I don’t have the scripting/automation done yet). I’m also adding an SMA connector for an external antenna, but the new base part is still printing. Photo shows it “as is” of this writing.

SSL for the web apps was a PITA since I wanted real certs. Had to make a wildcard domain under my main hobby domain, so all my apps are like “https://{APP_NAME}.mobile.mydomain.xyz/”

As soon as I can get the Bluetooth + Pulseaudio scripting done, I’m gonna try to do a write up and maybe a show/tell post.

I would love to have a small Wikipedia browser that can survive the apocalypse.

I’ve got the full 120 GB Wikipedia dump running in Kiwix on a Raspberry Pi Zero. Works great (surprisingly)

E-ink display, mini keyboard

Have been using a Minimal Phone for a few months now which has both of those. Can connect to the Pi easily.

multiple ways/ports to transfer info,

Add a USB-C hub (or add a hub to the Pi) and you’re set

All wrapped up in a heavy duty equipment case that’s able to survive a building collapses and burns in an earthquake, that’s shielded from EMP.

And that’s where I’m limited - My 3D printer can only do so much lol. 😆

I’ve been working on a side project this week with a Orange Pi Zero 2W (Pi Zero “clone” but with better specs). It’s got the Kiwix+Wikipedia like my older Pi (described above) plus a bunch of other neat stuff. It’s kind of a combination travel router, portable web app server, party box, and extremely over-engineered bluetooth speaker all-in-one. Hoping to put together a show-and-tell post about it when I get the last of it squared away.

Obviously they match, but which came first? The attitude or that haircut?

What kind of mad person shuffles their whole collection?

Me! lol

The musical whiplash is strong. It’ll go Pantera, Slipknot, Lady Gaga, Children of Bodom, the theme from Three’s Company, Spice Girls, Waylon Jennings, N’Sync, Foo Fighters, STP, Britney Spears, etc. You never know what’s next.

The sad thing is I have a fully functional MPD + Snapcast setup I could use (including a TUI MPD client), but this is just what I’ve always done. Old habits and such lol.

“Rock Me, Dr. Zaius” has lived rent-free in my head for decades. It’s also occasionally my ringtone.

This allows for seamless communication with biological cells

Whatever. As long as I can run LineageOS or Debian on it.

Constantly. Usually it takes the form of reducing topics to binary choices and/or purity tests.

• “You’re either with me or against me / You’re either part of the solution or part of the problem”
  • Where “part of the solution” means doing exactly, and only exactly what they think you should be doing.
• “If you don’t satisfy all of my impossible requirements, you’re as bad as a nazi”
• “We only agree on 99 out of 100 things, so clearly you’re not to be trusted”
• etc

but it was removed by automod (?)

This community only allows news articles.

Is Optimus Prime the original “boob windows” ?

Yeah. I read a bit more since I commented, and Alton Brown doesn’t just approve - he actually helped design it.

The cost of those is definitely why I still have a mono-vection oven haha.

I’m not a fan of single-purpose appliances (microwave notwithstanding), and I recently got a toaster oven / air fryer / grill (so no microwave) and I love it. Haven’t used my full size oven in the 3 months I’ve had this one.

The “Trivection Oven” (as seen on 30 Rock) is a real appliance, and includes microwave heating as one of the 'vections. I believe the microwave heating is just to speed up cooking with the thermal and convection heat for crisping.

Are they a gimmick? Honestly, no clue. I’ve not used one, but the logic checks out and Alton Brown approves.

I think billionaires shouldn’t exist because we should have appropriate levels of taxation and a “maximum wage” law.

Lemmy thinks billionaires shouldn’t exist and are setting up guillotines.

We are not the same.

Why would that be relevant or allowed in a politics community? Fuckin’ lemmy.world, I tell you what.

Because rule 1 there is "Post only links to articles? Geesh. It’s not like that’s been a rule for 2+ years and the community a place to discuss actual articles.

When I was younger, I’d have thrown my support behind this.

Now that I’m older and world-wiser, I’m much less on board with that. Cannabis? Fine. Heroin? Whatever, you do you. Cocaine? Absolutely not. Not that I’m against cocaine, it’s just that people on cocaine are really, really annoying.

That’s not wrong, but in this case, PlatformIO isn’t showing these ads, bit [dot] ly is. AFAIK, only bitly gets the ad money.

It’s the VSCode IDE that does it, it seems.

Ugh…

You’re back!

No explanation necessary, just glad you’re okay.
