  • Splurged some crazy money on a Crucial MX 256GB, 320€ IIRC, I still think about it sometimes but god what an upgrade :-)

    After years as my boot device it spent running lots of familys PCs witbout a hiccup, now it’s retired as a small extra ssd in a linux box.

    I remember there were single cells, double now triple and quadruple, and back in the day single wete considered the best, IDK what’s the story today.



















  • I made a python soft that uses the pi camera and scans qr codes, and plays the playlist that’s on the eventual qr code. Just show the album and it plays.

    But they have become so incredible expensive, and banana pis etc just doesn’t work that well, so I just stopped the whole Raspberry Pi craze.

    Today I just collected a 55€ Lenovo thinkcenter (like 18cm squared x 3.5cm) with a quad core, 8GB/256GB. I think it will replace my next rpi quite well and when it breaks, I can get another one quite simply.

    If I want to do more to the metal electronics stuff, I’ll just use a 2560 Mega or an esp8266 or similar.
