@lymenzies From my own experience I can tell that even the Original #RaspberryPi and #PiZero can run #RaspberryPiOS all day long and will run circles around the orginal #EeePC701, only getting beaten by the #Vaio #P11Z when it comes to #RAM and #IO options.

  • Granted a #CM4 or #CM5 with > 2GB RAM will shift the tides but those alone cost more than a used #Wyse3040 and #upcycling a #ThinClient into something like a tiny luggable is propably more budget friendly and useful anyway, espechally since built-in Gigabit #Ethernet and #USB 3.0 really kick ass, so you'd propably be better served doing some #PoE / Wide-Range DC-in & battery setup to make good use of the oversized build volume at hand.

  • Maybe take some "THICC" 21700 LiFePO4 cells or one of those #LiFePO4 motorcycle batteries for a spin? Pretty shure that you can sqeeze battery runtime measured in DAYS out of it without much tweaking.

Fosstodonlymenzies (@lymenzies@fosstodon.org)@kkarhan@infosec.space I see pi zero on the list. It would be amazing to actually do something useful with these. I have several and they are excruciatingly slow. Hard to believe I used to use Linux on a 386 with 4MB of RAM, but maybe I was more patient then. I'll try building OS1337 when I have a moment.

Help me troubleshoot my new workstation config?
Thinkpad with Thunderbolt 4 > CalDigit TB3 Plus dock > UGREEN Revodok Pro connected to the CalDigit's downstream TB3 port. 4k TV (120Hz capable) plugged into that via HDMI.

In 1920x1080 mode, I can go up to 120 Hz.
In 4k mode, I can't go any higher than 30 Hz.

If I plug the UGREEN Revodok Pro directly into the Thinkpad's other TB4 port, I can specify 60Hz, but I get screens like what you see here.

The Revodok also has two devices plugged into downstream USB3 ports: a microphone and a speaker.

I'm using #Fedora42 with #KDE Plasma 6.4.2.

Please #boost !

@vwestlife Yes they did, and I saw them #retail in #Germany at #ConradElectronic but they quickly flopped for two reasons:

1. The #hinge mechanism made them fiddly to insert into devices, as that design isn't up to #SD spec which expects a ridgid body.

2. They costed more than an equal-capacity & speed card plus a #cardreader.

3. Basically everyone who used #SDcard already had a #CardReader and #USB #flashdrives were also cheaper than these things.

The only person I knew that used one was someone who fiddled with an original #RaspberryPi|s a lot and they used it with a USB cable permanently plugged in so they can quickly access the files when the Pi is shut down.

  • Once I showed them that they can also access files and transfer them via #SSH instead of having to setup #Samba for #SMB shares they ditched that.
