I just found out about this. This is a really cool concept. Hope one day I’ll be able to contribute too!

I think it’s Logseq. Pretty good for taking notes.

After checking out some reviews on this one in particular I think it’s a pretty nice value. Good to know there’s still affordable phones out there. I do have some extra budget lying around so I think I’ll look into something a bit fancier this time.

That’s not a bad strategy lol. However from my experience with buying tech from China (a paper screen tablet for handwritten note taking and stuff) is somewhat troublesome and import taxes and other shipping costs, do add a non negligible amount to the final cost.

I don’t see myself doing this anytime soon, but maybe it will give someone else an idea, thanks :)

I remember a while ago I looked into this kind of phone and it did look pretty attractive to me. I might look for some more info on their performance thought.

Thanks for the suggestion :)

That’s great to know! Thanks

That’s true about “fun”, it’s very subjective but I’d say that bloat in my case strictly refers to software and not extra hardware, something like the difference between a ringtone store app and a couple of extra LEDs on the back.

On another note, I’ve seen a few reviews mentioning Pixels developing problems over time but nothing major AFAIK. Do you still use your Pixel? If not, what made you change it?

Heyyy, happy holidays! I’m interested in Elden Ring :)

I don’t have many hopeful stories this time around, but I hope next year will be a good one in spite of it all.

Good luck everyone!

Aye

And there’s always Pogo Poutine ;)

That looks interesting, I’ve got one question though, how noisy would you say that machine is? Is it louder than a small box fan on a hot summer day, or more like a blender in the next room?

Have you ever tried running Jellyfin on an LE Potato? Also how’s the community and overall documentation on them? I’ve heard it’s lacking in the community aspect, but if there’s enough documentation I think I could pull it off.

I didn’t know SD cards would be so bad, I’ll definitely get an external drive then.

The orange seems like a good option too, sure it’s a bit pricier, but I could make it work if its worth it. And also, I’m not planning on having more than one concurrent user (just me on one device at a time) I don’t need to scale it, so I guess I’ll be fine with an orange or even a bit less?

Now that you mention it, I’d rather not start an impromptu BBQ so maybe laptops are not my first option, unless I can somehow limit the battery charge or completely bypass the battery. I’ll do some more research on that. As far as electricity goes, its very cheap where I am so I don’t think the less efficient mini PCs would hurt.

Thanks for the advice :)

Oh nice for the heads up, I’ll definitely keep an eye out for transcoding capabilities. I don’t understand transcoding that well yet, so I know what I’ll be reading up on next.

Nay, This essentially turns this instance into an oligarchy. I don’t think other instances are going to appreciate this type of governance either.

Also, nothing stops trolls and bad actors from donating the bare minimum a thousand times to get a thousand voices. This would mean a high minimum investment should be required, which further hurts the common user.

I believe that a shitty/troll opinion has an artificial majority, the real users will catch on and act accordingly, however we still have to see an example of this.

I’m also certain that privacy people would rather not risk money transfers, cash or whatever (crypto is a whole other discussion).

In short, I think requiring payment, or proof of identity, or any other de-anonymizing measures would hurt discussion by excluding genuine users, even if it allows more trolls that would be ignored/dealt with by genuine users.
