A personal wiki or a text file, depending on the place. Would be nice to have some compact non invasive ticket system, but I’ve never seen one.

I’ve used literal card decks and GTDish pen and paper systems when there was more demanding need on tracking things. They’re effective.

I’d get a new drive. Install a sane os and need tool and use that. They should be cheap these days. Put the old one in a safe place in case you need something from it. When you find it years on and notice that there was nothing important there after all, recycle it. That’s a much safer approach.

That posting it now is trumputinist propaganda.

They do. And you can generally trust banks to try and sell you what’s most profitable to them.

It is pretty close to where the sun doesn’t shine.

same watts and volts but more amps

Laws of physics: defeated.

You won’t have any of the electrical or protocol/register info or other data for any of the components unless you’re a manufacturer and most parts aren’t really salvageable separately but are essentially one big glob on the board. Even with the skills, you’d need to reverse engineer some of the most complex and hard to use components ever manufactured for consumer use and somehow fit them in places they were never meant to fit.

And yes, software. The board support for the SOC, mostly. Maybe starting off with a pinephone or something might help, but I doubt even that is open and usable enough.

Do the math. See how rational the fear is. Whatever the result, admit you’re afraid and decide if you also want to be brave and act despite the fear. Make a plan. Start working on it. Hopefully things are better on the other side, but either way that fear will pass.

Fear is a natural part of human life. Often useful, but also often not. But as long as you can manage to act despite your fear, it won’t harm you.

Ok, cortisol and stress exist, but you have bigger things to worry about.

It’s difficult to get into on purpose.

Had to read this a few times until it clicked that it doesn’t mean as opposed to getting into accidentally.

That is a really stupid name, though. Common words are very clash happy (as seen here) and nearly impossible to search for.

Pinecil is a brilliant product, though, and not just a development tool.

Well, ok, it’s a development tool but not just pinecil development. It works as a tool ootb.

More specifically, where can we buy the modern and main soc?

Read that one right the second time

TV pixels were also generally not square. And if the device was a TV and not an actual video monitor (both were used with home computers), it was a little slow and blurry. And overscan existed. There’s a lot of things that will be a bit different when you look at an emulated display.

In practice? Constantly changing hardware with soc vendors that publish nothing and device manufacturers that (have to) keep pushing out new models on a short cycle. Plus many of them have extra shenanigans to keep the bootloader locked so you can’t install a recovery (presuming you had a working one) so you could replace the os. There are some rare exceptions, but the hardware is rare and tedious and not many people can or will work on installable Linux on them.

If you just want to run some Linux userland, there’s ways to do that on top of android, though. Want to get to a Linux like system or run a program? Might be as close as installing a terminal or running adb shell.

That’s a great list of working stuff. Brilliant. I hope that one day that’ll be on a device that isn’t impossible to find here.

In a developing country rates also go down with civilization as people learn how not to breed like bacteria. But once it’s about choice, that starts to be a good list. I’d almost list safety as a common theme in them. And in Russia… yeah.

I thought Scientology was all about the therapy and working towards becoming clear.

Definitely no less confusion after reading that.

I don’t think I’ve found amazing things recently. Things worth using and things better than the alternative and things that are promising to maybe one day be great, yes.

But I’ll single out one little thing: dust. https://github.com/bootandy/dust

Dust is meant to give you an instant overview of which directories are using disk space without requiring sort or head. Dust will print a maximum of one ‘Did not have permissions message’.

Dust will list a slightly-less-than-the-terminal-height number of the biggest subdirectories or files and will smartly recurse down the tree to find the larger ones. There is no need for a ‘-d’ flag or a ‘-h’ flag. The largest subdirectories will be colored.

It’s like a killer combination of du and sort oneliners that actually shows me what I want to know: What’s the big stuff in this dir.
