rotor posted:renormalize running whatever processes you need on an optiplex in the basement i have shared your Greg's Optiplex Under The Desk Theorem with my zoomer/mill coworkers, by the way, and they think it's insane but really charming and yeah this might work, maybe if Steve ran a backup machine under his desk, yeah that'd be sufficient -- anyways as old and grognard as i am i really love jamming everything into docker. It just feels nice to have a controlled sandbox starting point and then you punch holes for ports and mounts, and as long as you remember that VMs are pets and containers are cattle and you don't try to persist anything inside the docker, it works great.

back in the yosbbs days I hand loving rolled a 3-node redundant setup for the board using docker (custom dockerfile) and raw etcd, and since the bbs software wasn't aware of any sort of clustering, i synced all the data folders using, i poo poo you not, btsync. so it was bittorrent updating all the /data folders with, oh idk 5-10 seconds lag? but it WORKED. anyways when kubernetes dropped i was all "oh did somebody just put lipstick and a wig on etcd and dockerfiles? Neeeeeeat. Wow" and everybody got mad neat facts: when i was developing that thing i had a github thingy and i had an alias for when i changed something and wanted to bring it live alias shoveit="git add .; git commit -am "bug fixing"; git push" now that's Agile

Traditionally I fired it up during my usual post labor day depression / SAD jag. It's been a few years. The last time i had interest i was talking with hilbo about it and welllll. anyways maybe it'll return some day. I'm trying to move into a real place this year so this summer is busy, but if everything goes right i'll get the enormous sadbrains in september when the days get short and we'll get another run. It was so fun to hack edit the LoRD monster files with yosposter names. Stymie attacks you with his Labor Accusations, etc.

One year i got so sweaty about it that i hacked the messageboard interface of the bbs software to be able to read and post on this very subforum. The trick was that you had to upload your session cookie to it. i doubt many people would do that ityool 2024 lol. Learned a lot about how the forums work, though. when you click submit post you get sent a token and you have to regurgitate that back to actually make the post. Figured all that out with some lovely python and whatnot.

hm what laptops are people buying that has so many issues with battery life in linux? are you guys buying alienwares or something when i think about it, i'd guess the main culprit is lack of hardware video acceleration when using linux out of the box. you have to jump through some hoops to be certain that is works, but this is old news.

ryanrs posted:OK, I found an experimental Realtek driver I can enable in the OpenWRT build system, that might get the wifi working. I did successfully build an openwrt image for my board, which involved lots and lots of compiling. The Rock Pi S booted the image and came up fine, which was sorta surprising tbh. Alas, the wifi chip is still not recognized.

oh man, speaking of which, an asus eeepc 1001 was actually my only laptop for around 5 years or so. it came with XP and ran like poo poo. installed arch on it and it was capable even of running a competent game of warcraft 3 through wine. incredible little piece of poo poo. i did most of my first two years of university with it before jumping aboard the refurbished thinkpad train.

Nobody Interesting posted:glinet own. i have the GL-A1300 which i think has gigabit, but no PoE or microsd card. it's a "travel router" but it works great even when not traveling. The AR750 arrived, and seems to pretty much function as advertised. Which is to say, I asked it to create a wifi network, and it did. I'm not planning on using any of the VPN functionality. Its purpose in life is to advertise SSID poop_net, which will provide connectivity to a leak sensor on a sewer pipe. I also also have a homebrew motion detector / floodlight that I want to hook up to the USB port. The AR750 has a pin header inside with 3.3V and I2C, so you can connect sensors and poo poo, or a little screen. You could use it as a $16 PoE ethernet to I2C translator, with proper crypto and on-going security patches. You will need to solder in a PoE power supply module, but those are pretty standardized. Power about is about 2W idling with both radios on.

FAT32 SHAMER posted:I mean this in the most Linux is fine. pick a decent distribution and it will work fine and not break anything. despite the memes, sound will almost certainly work perfectly and nothing will melt for me, if it has a problem it’s that there’s too much choice for stuff like DE’s and I get distracted. gnome with a few extensions to remove/change some weird defaults works well for me. kde i just cannot do because it’s an endless set of settings that I will never be done loving with if you just want to try it out install one of *ubuntu variants. poo poo will work and you’ll be able to get packages for basically anything also wine for Linux is wine, silly
