Very interesting #article on #nolibc , a #replacement for #libc when you don't need (nearly) any of the #features it offers: https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/920158/31..
As #greatscott points out, the #raspberrypi #pi looks very promising as an #arduino #replacement https://youtube.com/watch?v=F0o1C7nEgw0 The only thing I would want to add to it is a method to #communicate #wirelessly , perhaps a 433 MHz #radio #transmitter ?
Really useful #guide to #replacing the #display on a #pine #pinetab https://politictech.wordpress.com/2022/0.. This is the first #replacement of its kind within the #community I believe!
People performing their own #ram #upgrade on their #gpu just screams that the #industry needs to allow for #replacement #ram to be #installed https://hackaday.com/2022/01/30/gpu-ram-.. For #amd or #nvidia it would also mean only needing to #manufacture one #pcb and #bom too!
Very interesting, it appears that #pine 's #pinesoquartz could be a #dropin #replacement for #raspberrypi 's CM4 #board that is currently seriously #outofstock https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2021/p.. It's not perfect but could be a #workaround - hopefully in the future the #software even gets good enough for a complete and #powerful replacement #alternative !
I wonder about the possibility of using a #supercapacity as a low #energydensity #lipo #replacement for some very #lowpower #mobile #device such as a #linuxpda https://hackaday.com/2021/12/01/supercap.. Sure you won't get as much #energy per gram, but you get ultra #reliable operating and fast #charging (seconds).

No #js of course!So it appears to be #firefox making my #machine grind to a halt by eating tonnes of #ram and #cpu - specifically it appears to be #invidious and #cloudflare causing tonnes of #network #traffic . Reducing #memory usage helped slightly, but it appears to really be eating system resources: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fir.. I think I need a #youtube #alternative !
Interesting, #raspberrypi have #released a new #raspberry #pi #zero https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-.. Looks like it will cost about 15 or $15. Apparently it's a Raspberry Pi 3 with less #ram - it's pretty #capable: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/new-ras.. It is supposed to be a #pin drop-in #replacement for the #original #zero #pi ...
Ouch, #birthrates in the #uk are now well below #replacement rates: https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/fertil.. In the #longterm - this means that unless corrected, we will experience a large #ageing #population like #japan and #china has.
It's crazy that we're now at the stage where we can make an #fpga #pincompatible #replacement for old #processors that run at higher speeds! https://hackaday.com/2021/10/15/heres-a-..
The #financialtimes is now spouting about #population #replacement #propaganda in #europe by #arabs and #asians https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/f.. As the #adl points out in the #article , this is apparently a #rightwing talking point - interesting we're now seeing it spread by the #leftwing under a #positive banner... Madness.
Very interesting #discussion by #backreaction on how close #nuclear #fusion is to being a viable #energy #replacement #source http://backreaction.blogspot.com/2021/10.. Sounds like the #scientists and #science #communicators are being #wilfully #opaque in exactly *how much* #energy is being produced and fudging the numbers.
After repairing this #mechanical #keyboard recently and posting an #article about it under #keyboardrepair - it appears that the `s` #key is now also dying: https://coffeespace.org.uk/projects/keyb.. It's now getting more and more pressing that I get a #replacement - I'm not sure this #keyboard will survive many more #fixes and any more of my awful #soldering !
As somebody who regularly uses their #pine #pinetab - I would suggest that it is very much not a #replacement or #alternative to the #ipad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPe8bDOp.. It's seriously underpowered in a way that isn't even funny, not a single #feature of the device is even #comparable ... It appears to be something that Pine64 may be taking seriously with the #pinenote - but it will be at least another year to see if these changes get migrated back into the PineTab.
#podman could be an interesting #replacement #alternative to #docker https://marcusnoble.co.uk/2021-09-01-mig.. Worth checking out I think.
