Are you sure you need to run Linux for this?

🧠✨ Pissing upstream

JF uses south of 480 mb right now on my rpi4 2gb when idling. It plays fine too, though struggles with transcoding.

I have been using LibreOffice on macs for years and years. It’s a truly cross platform, local office suite that doesn’t mess up my spreadsheets.

I’m done with MS myself, but at the same time I like to be conscious that news sites are milking the sentiment of frustrated users by constantly rephrasing “MS said they are going to be improve X” into “MS admits that X is bad”.

It’s not a face. It’s just another thing he bought.

The battery can discharge itself through connected solar panels. It’s a known issue

Oh, I hadn’t heard about it anywhere else. Do you remember where you heard this?

It’s been fine, except for the issue I already described. The build quality is decent, but nothing special. There’s a ridge down the middle that’s a bit wider than it should be. The display button recedes a bit far into the case and so can get a little annoying to push. It’s got some nice rubber feet, and the orange might make it easier to spot in a dark tent. I haven’t put it through heavy or methodical testing though. Just mentioning things that I haven’t seen mentioned in reviews. It’s a heavy item for a backpack, so might be worth reconsidering if it’s overkill for your needs anyway.

I bought the Jackery Explorer 100 and am coupling it with a 45W panel. I figured the Jackery would be better for solar than an average power bank, because they already package it in a bundle with their own panel. BUT since both USB C ports on the Jackery can do both power in/out, I think the Jackery can actually get confused about whether it’s supposed to be charging or discharging, when the panel is running at very low output… … at least, that’s how I interpret having returned to it and seeing it discharged when connected to the panel.

My dad has been using the (“proudly antifascist”) antiX I installed on his beloved, ancient Compaq netbook for more than a year, and it seems to make total sense to him.

The click-rate on this thing has to be through the roof when a single machine failing is news.

Some people must enjoy the idea that there’s a whole flock of people lurking in their PC, but it ain’t me.
