I spent a good chunk of the day slimming down my Debian install on the #MangoPiQuad. I moved from (and uninstalled) #XFCE to #OpenBox. I wholesale uninstalled many preinstalled apps (such as Libre Office, Emacs, Bluez, and much, much more).
I installed #CairoDock and #Nitrogen I gotta say, it is running smooth. I am even able to run #MinecraftPiReborn with out maxing out the CPU or RAM!
In a new memoir, Christa Brown, one of the nation’s best-known clergy abuse survivors and #SBC whistleblowers, shares the shocking story of her escape from Baptistland.
MakerLisp Machine is a Lisp and CP/M single board computer with a 50 MHz eZ80 and up to 16 MB RAM. It runs a Lisp on bare metal system as well as CP/M 2.2. The Lisp dialect is a blend of Common Lisp, Scheme, and C.
Comparing the three main Zero SBC's in the market right now: Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, Orange Pi Zero 2W, and Radxa Zero 3W #sbc#PiZero2#radxazero3w#opizero2w
For Reasons™ I'm shopping around for Single Board Computers (#SBC). Curious to hear if anyone has any favorites Besides the #RaspberryPi. Looking to run general purpose Linux distros, primarily in headless configuration.
Bought myself one of these supposedly #libre#sbc boards for some small projects. Let's see how it compares to the #raspberrypi I already have. The form factor is the same as the rpi3 at least.
No inbuilt wifi for one thing, but it came with heat sink already attached, so that's nice.
I wouldn't mind using an #rpm-based system on this, but from what I've seen the process for that is somewhat involved.
🤖 Duo S RISC-V/Arm SBC features Sophgo SG2000 SoC, Ethernet, WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5 connectivity - CNX Software
「 Linux and RTOS are said to be supported on the Duo S, and you’ll find buildroot-built OS images on GitHub to boot from either the microSD card or the eMMC flash. As of the current v1.0.9 image, Duo S does not yet support wiringX (C) and pinpong (Python) GPIO libraries, and Arduino support is not implemented either 」
What's the cheapest little home #videoGame console you can buy off aliexpress that would connect to #retroAchievements? I'd like to buy a few and set them up for my friends and family as presents. Install a frontend like #batocera, load it up with roms. Probably a #raspberrypi but maybe there's some other #SBC that'd do the job?
🧲 Milk-V Duo S: Dual-Core RISC-V SBC Open for Pre-Order Starting at $11.00 | linuxgizmos.com
"This dual-core design offers flexibility and performance for embedded computing. Scheduled to ship in March 2024, this board has improved specifications and features compared to the Duo Classic, and it supports both Linux and FreeRTOS operating systems."
Some think #FOSS is crap and anything open source is crap and badly written. Some think #Linux is hard to learn. In that case, my Father must be a supergenius for learning how to use #Debian at over 40 after years being away from technology and even not having a smartphone running #Android. The old PC we had at home could not run #Windows so I installed Debian on it and he has been using #LibreOffice, #Firefox the #XFCE desktop environment #Atril PDF reader and few other things for past 2 years.
BTW, imagine if it wasn't for FOSS, this old PC we have at home would be sold for its metal parts as garbage. Where are the environmentalists?
If he decides to have Linux rather than Windows, a small #SBC will be enough for him for few years. It's cheaper, consumes less power and it's also kinda portable unlike a full blown PC. And because of less heat produced, one can predict it'll live for much longer due to less damage done to electronic parts.
