  • 1GB model is $45. And if you need a Linux microcontroller, Raspberry Pi Zero with 0.5 GB RAM is $15.

    Honestly, 16 GB RAM in a Raspberry Pi is stupid. What are you using it for? If you want AI, you buy NVidia Jetson, Raspberry Pi won’t cut it with 4-core CPU. If you want a regular PC for office, you buy a regular PC with low-end Intel or AMD CPU for the same price. If you want a video server to plug into your TV, 1 GB RAM will be enough, and there are cheaper moddable media boxes out there. If you want a controller for your industrial equipment, you’ll be barely using half-gigabyte of RAM for your industrial spaghetti code, so you probably bought the most expensive model for your corporate writeoff money just because you could. No, it will not be more reliable and won’t work any faster. But you can run Quake 3 on your CNC lathe, which makes it totally worth the price (Quake 3 runs fine on 512 MB RAM, you could have bought Pi Zero ).

    It’s these things. Notice how the thread is smaller than the shaft. You always need to drill a pilot hole, otherwise the thread won’t bite into the wood. The thread is also pretty tight, so screwing it two-three times in the same hole is enough to strip the wood in the hole, so it can be pulled out with tweezers with almost no resistance. It’s also slotted, so if you press too hard your screwdriver will slip out. And if you screw too tightly, the head will rip off, because it’s a mild steel.

    Or you just hammer it in.

    In Soviet Russia, all furniture was assembled by hammering wood screws. Then the assembled furniture was ripened for up to ten years in special humidity-controlled warehouses, allowing screws to expand and lock in place thanks to rusting. This required making screws from special-grade low-quality steel, and use extra-toxic glue for particle board planks so they would not rot. And still, only one in five assembled pieces of furniture did not have any rotten parts or fall into pieces when you attempted to take it home, making it even more luxurious. It is utterly impossible to repeat this level of craftsmanship in modern world.

    kill is a command.

    love, happiness, and peace are not commands.

    You can totally find love using command sudo apt install love. It’s a game engine.

    happiness is a Perl module inside libdemeter-perl package. Let’s not install Perl modules, there lies insanity.

    And you can find peace in a whole bunch of packages, it’s an icon of the peace symbol.






  • Dolphin shows you places that are not in your file system, such as network shares or your phone‘s media directory. Those are fake files, illusions of Satan, temptations designed to stray you from the path of God. Avoid anything that is not opened with open and not read with read system calls, for doing so is a sin before eyes of God (fopen and fread are permitted). Mount your network shares using sudo mount -t cifs.
