Happy Friday, everyone! :) I started getting into so called "plain text accounting"[0] some years ago, and after having a look around, settled on Beancount (as opposed to Ledger or…

I think Minetest is in a similar vein, and for similar reasons. And it's F/LOSS.

Only if they take to it. :)

You are not wrong. However x86 is dead to me for having a BIOS level backdoor built in that you can't get rid of (probably; yes I know about ME Cleaner). Not to mention Intel sat o…

There are projects (like Armbian) working to improve that situation, but they can always use more help. https://www.armbian.com/newsflash/armbian-needs-your-help/

You asked about mini-PCs, which I don't have, however just for comparison I can say I have ODROID-XU4 + cubietruck here running and only drawing about 2W total between both of them…

> Has someone already investigated how this happened? Intel finally got some competition and had to get off their ass for a change! There, no investigation required! :)

> a kid’s “my first Linux PC"? Any old desktop from a garage sale (if you can find one). People are practically giving them away these days, everyone wants tablets/phones now. We s…

It's not just them, the majority of SBC manufacturers are on these bizarre old Linux forks that have been patched all to hell and will never see mainline. Kind of same situation wi…

Not that I ever plan to buy anything from them ever again, but reminders are always helpful for everyone. :)

I am glad to see a growing chorus of people voicing similar concerns, which myself and others have long held. The article links to a similar article from Drew DeVault for instance …

I would really like to see someone raise the same questions this article does at the next community Q&A.

There are many interesting alternatives available: https://www.armbian.com/download/?device_support=Supported

There are many Armbian supported devices[0] which make great alternatives. [0] https://www.armbian.com/download/?device_support=Supported

I like PINE64's stuff, too. Armbian is another good choice, for people who prefer Debian based OS.

Look man, just ditch the yahoo email already.

> algorithms/data structures Certainly someone can recommend a good resource here? The Wizard Book maybe?

Yep, came here to say this. It doesn't get any more anonymous than cash in the mail. :)

That, in itself, is another nice feature of F-Droid. It allows you to add additional repositories of your own choosing. It's so refreshing, especially compared to $megacorp control…

> I was worried from the description that it would include a DE and stuff I don’t need for a headless machine Oh no (as you learned). In fact, desktop releases are a relatively new…
