That guy's got some brass ones, lol.

I've upcycled disposable vape batteries for lots of projects, but never anything that draws significant amounts of current. Usually powering ESP8266/ESP32 projects that draw a couple hundred mAh at most.

While I'm all for keeping thing out of the landfill, I would be absolutely terrified to put that many questionable quality lithium batteries into an array let alone try to draw any substantial amperage from them.

I get a twitch every time I see the damn sparkle icon/emoji.

Is that an older or newer episode? Looks older, so they probably dialed it down in later episodes lol. That one definitely isn't subtle 😆

I just realized Tina Belcher also does a subtler version of that run:

Awesome! Yeah, spoilers aren't standard markdown (AFIAK) and most apps just copied the way lemmy UI implemented them as custom containers.

At least in the default UI, it's still not working right. It's all treated as the title of the spoiler.

Most clients require it as :

Title that shows when collapsedThe rest of the text that should be hidden in the collapsed part. More text that should be hidden.

Title that shows when collapsedThe rest of the text that should be hidden in the collapsed part.

More text that should be hidden.

I have and blocked it a while back. At the time, it was just people posting screenshots of crap various AI shat out. Like....if you're posting that, you're part of the problem and feeding the hype. Just stop.

Well I don't know what else I can do. I go out of my way to avoid and/or disable any AI crap in every piece of freaking software.

Been playing with a Raspberry Pi Zero clone (Orange Pi Zero 2W) to make a portable travel router + app server + party box + development environment. Basically seeing what all I can cram into four 1.5 GHz cores and 4 GB of RAM in a Pi Zero form factor.

Its primary upstream is wifi (but can use ethernet or USB tethering with some reconfiguring) and also presents an access point. AP, ethernet, and USB ethernet gadget interfaces are bridged into the "LAN" segment.

Has multiple VPNs (one for privacy and one for connecting to my internal stack), PiHole for DHCP services and ad blocking, PairDrop for sharing files, CodeServer for development, MPD and Snapcast for listening to music (plus another Pi Zero to act as a satellite speaker), Kiwix with the full 120 GB dump of Wikipedia and pretty much every dev doc I could load, Calibre Web with most of my book collection loaded, and Searx-NG to provide a portable search engine that's not infested with AI and SEO slop.

It's also running Nginx with real Let's Encrypt certs so all the web apps it hosts are properly running behind HTTPS.

Still working out some kinks / hardware quirks and don't have the scripting automation complete to cast from Bluetooth to Snapcast server, but that does work on the bench.

I call it the "Quirky Turkey".

Not sure what client you're using, but the spoiler tag not being closed causes them to not work.

 

 

Ordered an MP back in June for the July batch and finally received it today. Loving it so far even though it's got a few quirks.

(The Minimal is the e-ink phone with the QWERTY keyboard).

I've been using a dumb phone for a while now and didn't want to go back to a full smartphone, so this seemed like a decent compromise.

Probably the biggest annoyance I've noticed is the Alt and Shift buttons being in illogical places and wishing those were reversed.

And yes I made this post on it and am aware of the irony 😆

This has been floating on the internet for years, so not my OC except remaking it with HD screen grabs.

We're all in our 40s. My spirit may be willing but my body cannot handle bar hopping.

You kinda need to know the scene for this one, so here's the clip:
