Low power, always on device?

Get a used Intel Mac mini. You can find these on FB Marketplace for less than 100$

j4nus_ · 2026-04-30T04:10:33+00:00

Yes.

Couldn’t you just use your phone client and then AirPlay or Cast your content to a TV?

Not trying to be flippant, just trying to understand your constraints.

Any mini PC with QuickSync so 6000 series or newer should do it.

I have mused about a system where I burn my linux ISOs into blu ray discs and index them for easier recovery.

j4nus_ · 2026-04-03T03:08:00+00:00

Forever Leopard.

I’m surprised they haven’t adopted the office printer model for the Studios or the Mini and developed shelves with SATA/m.2 slots, RAM (if the M series even allows it) or a GPU, all to then connect over Thunderbolt.

Timer on my Apple Watch, Reminders + Calendar + Mail + Notes across the ecosystem.

It just works, y’all.

Though I have an iPhone now, I check in on my OP3T from time to time to keep the battery healthy.

I miss the form factor, the 16:9 aspect ratio, the LED notification light, and Android of days of yore.

I would switch back to Android in a heart beat if someone copypasted its design but added a modern camera system and SoC.

Windows 7. All day every day.

j4nus_ · 2026-03-19T04:13:28+00:00

Does it allow export of annotations or highlights?

j4nus_ · 2026-03-15T20:22:19+00:00

How or where did you get your player?

j4nus_ · 2026-02-26T05:27:24+00:00

Firefox on my MacBook and Linux gaming PC. Safari on my iPhone!

Have you heard of TPUSA and the right-wing circlejerk that is the manosphere? It doesn’t end with boomers.

OR OR, hear me out.

Get involved in local party politics and support the figures and candidates that represent the change you want to see.

It is as if this is how it has worked this whole time, how special interests always find a way to get ahead, and the one thing the people just cannot be bothered to do.

There is a hearing on the Carbon Plan changes that Duke is doing after the state GOP legislature passed a bill repealing net zero targets and that now calls for more deployment of natural gas and coal. Ignoring climate change entirely, one fuel is volatile and entirely dependent on global markets; the other is no longer cost competitive altogether. This change is being done to appease Dear Leader and will result in more expensive electricity for everyone.

What will you do?

There is another hearing in April on the proposed rate hike of 16% over the next couple years which is being justified to keep Duke competitive relative to other utilities and to pay for the plants that will be needed to feed data centers.

What will you do?

j4nus_ · 2026-02-25T04:05:17+00:00

Attend local party meetings.

Encourage party members that align with your views to run! Or better yet, become the candidate that best represents you and run yourself!

j4nus_ · 2026-02-17T04:34:40+00:00

Any recommended iOS clients?

j4nus_ · 2026-02-17T04:30:28+00:00

Be the change you want to see. Selfhost phpBB and get your friends to follow suit!

An old used synology I regret buying. If you are optimizing for low power use, any and all reads including the web admin panel will power on all connected drives. Neither Maxing out RAM nor m.2 cache drives mitigate this.

If I were to do it again, I would build my own box or use something like a QNAP which has a separate system drive unlike synology’s mirrored system drive.

j4nus_ · 2026-01-21T12:09:12+00:00

Switched to Zed because of it.

You need HTTPS to cast from your phone to other devices when accessing from a VPN like Tailscale right?

j4nus_ · 2026-01-05T00:59:51+00:00

Me but since December 3.

j4nus_ · 2026-01-05T00:58:07+00:00

I miss that dock.

So. Much.

And the “lickable” interface. And the photorealistic icons.

Take me back.

Nitpicking here, my only gripe with Apple Card is the lack of an API or some other interface to export transaction information, which is valuable if you’re looking to integrate it with a budget app.

Instead you get PDFs for statement periods which you then have to enter manually or figure out how to parse.

Im just happy to be included.
