Walmart sells the onn android tv sticks for $15 you can customize them and change the font end so that it’s just a few apps that are easy to navigate to.

You can also get a faraday bag.

I’ve used cheaper thin clients in the past. You can get them much cheaper than $50 and they come ready to go with storage, power supply, and case.

The price didn’t go down, he’s factoring in current ram prices. $250 for an rpi 5 is wild.

In the past the issue has been limited storage for newer versions and possibly ram. It should list those specs on the open wrt site.

I run dullsters.net which is sort of a single user instance. Nobody else can make accounts it’s strictly for one community.

One thing I’ve run into is not performance with old hardware but missing features from the CPU/GPU. Think of tpm 2.0 requirements for Windows 11. There’s other obscure instruction sets that newer games and programs require such as resizeable bar if you want to run a local llm.

The government already knows where most of these people are. They’re just grifting and terrorizing people.

After having stability issues with Ubuntu I switched to fedora. It just works. If you need to install something with the terminal just Google how to install program fedora and you’ll find some simple commands to copy and paste. Just make sure you understand what you’re inputting.

I wouldn’t equate installing proxmox on an old pc to open heart surgery. It’s pretty basic stuff and you can follow guides on how to install services in a container or vm. People are interested in things like pihole, home assistant, arr stacks, nas, and better control over their network. It’s definitely not rocket surgery.

You could use a math trade software. Instead of putting in items just have everyone select each other’s names. Or you could just do a math trade where everyone enters an item and then everything gets randomly traded somewhat like a white elephant but anonymized.

Yesterday there was an article stating that Microsoft has more hardware in inventory than they can actually power on.

A billion rubles? The company has been allowing outside actors to manipulate the platform since at least 2016. No way they let them do that for free.

Had the same issue and it was my mouse causing the USB ports to stop working I realized that the clock was still working and it would go into hibernate. Just wouldn’t respond to mouse or kb.

Multiple accounts on the same websites with different cookies for each one.

You might try Nizoral shampoo if you can find it. Leave it in for five minutes.

I own dullsters.net and i have been trying to clean out junk from previously abandoned projects and working on others. It has become a project in itself. There’s no shortage of 3d printers, computers, tools, and other things around here. I’m always doing some kind of diy. A lot of times out of necessity as things lately have been breaking more than usual. I’m also on a high level committee for an organization with the goal of growing an e-sports scene to help veterans. It just feels really weird to do cool and interesting things at home and have an easy entry level job that isn’t fulfilling and not seen as capable of anything more.

Quit within a few years, unfortunately not. I really can’t see a path forward anymore.

The private contractor gets about $100/ day per person, so they so have an incentive to make up numbers. $100k / day out of the $250B is a rounding error.
