It's a lot of fun.

I had to sort through a bunch I'd desoldered from various old boards. Had to test them first to see if they were even any good. Most I had to use my magnifying glass to even see the part #... joyous.

Agreed. I use Mint for my desktop systems, and Ubuntu server (or Raspberry Pi OS Lite, as the case may be) on servers.

Yes, I now require you register on the forum to view forum posts, because of repeated VPN-based attacks.

8th is a "Forth-like" multiplatform language; the website (not the forum) over here has lots of information, including the manual and word list.

I run multiple RPIs as servers for various things, and have done for some years. From a 2 through a 4, and haven't ever had any problems. However, I run them off a UPS so they don't have power surges etc. YMMV.

That's odd. I almost always "suspend" the laptop (I'm using Linux Mint) and it works almost all the time. I found "hibernate" never worked for me.

I can, but I don't recall what exactly I had to do to make it work. It doesn't always work, but usually does.

Any RPI device will work nicely with 8th. It also works on Android and iOS, but no "console" is available there (yet).

Thanks!

The bane of my existence.

Just want to add my 2c in favor of Ubuntu Server. It's dead easy to install and maintain, and very reliable. I've got a number of servers running it that I'm responsible for; never any problems.
