-Low power/cost desktop #SBC (with portable capabilities in the works).
-Building myself a new mechanical keyboard by sacrificing my current one for the switches.
-In-depth use/testing of 2 #Linux distros.
-Trying out a new WM.
-Building a media center/#NAS with SBC.
-I decided over the weekend that I'm finally going to learn some #Programming.

Projects are piling up faster than the time to work on them!

My wife and I live in beautiful Southern Oregon and I work at a #cooperative
I listen to extreme #metal and drink the #beer
I feel passion for #digitalrights #coffee #floss #pivacy #bernie2020 #mlp and classic trucks.
I'm using #LinuxMint 19 XFCE on my desktop and #Debian Stretch on my servers.
I think that covers all the #hastags ...
oh yeah the #Nintendo Switch is fuckin' great
#introductions

Looking for #RSS reader recommendations! What's your favorite Firefox reader?

Screenshot Sunday!

Lightweight and snappy setup running on the SBC now. I got rid of tint2 panel since I was using it less the more familiar I got with i3. My mouse is feeling neglected. I feel like I may have wasted time learning/configuring automatic layouts though as my power consumption is 5v@3A. I haven't been turning the board off.

eMMC module for my #SBC arriving Saturday. I should see a substantial uptick in OS 'snappyness' compared to microSD. Plus, this will allow me to test experimental builds and other distros by booting to the sd slot using a jumper, while leaving my main install untouched on the eMMC.

Hop to Armbian 5.75 sucessful! Such a good distro I forgot how much I liked it.

PSA: you can combine 3 dollar store boxes of Swedish Fish into one box if you empty them out of the plastic inner bags.

Also you should see Alita cause it's awesome. I'm just about to see it for the second time.

Tonight started week 7 of the dancing class my wife and I are attending. We're learning Rumba now and I think it's my favorite dance so far!

Since I'm planning on reinstalling my VPS this weekend, it's a good opportunity to try using #Docker on it. Been wanting to play with containers for a while now and I think I've found a good starting point:

Looks like #Armbian added hardware video acceleration features to their #Rock64 build. Took long enough /s
Downloading os image now!!

#SBC

Been pretty inactive the past couple months. I have nothing FOSS-related to show for it either! Except I've finally installed i3wm and have been using it for two days now. So far, so good. (Current DE components: i3wm, tint2, i3blocks, pcmanfm, feh, rofi)

Nearly done packing for today's flight to Seattle. Gonna see some family. Will be back home for work on Wednesday.

@kelbot The term "cyberdeck". Forgive my ignorance but I keep wondering what that is exactly? Is it a blanket term for small DIY computer builds?
