It feels like i didn’t have the VII for a solid year before the service got turned off. The iPAQ had a docking sleeve for a cf wireless card. That was when i felt like a mad pimp. 🤓

I had the Palm VII, which had a mobile data connection and an antenna you would flip up. I felt like a god. When i “upgraded” to the Compaq ipaq i felt that the world was my oyster!

Now i hate my phone.

Dude needs to update to the latest Moodle. Looks less like a Geocities inspired html abortion.

Sounds like a fun project. As other commenter stated, those brackets really make the best use of an old case. Can’t think of a better solution for that. For power, you can grab one of those 200w USB power/charger adapters, put it in the case and feed the power cable out the back. Might look a little janky, though.

Good luck! Let’s see what you come up with!

Hey, kinda unrelated but related…

I had an ant problem and read about mixing borax with flour and sugar to make a dough. Roll this dough in to little balls, about the size of a BB, and leave a bunch near the ant sources. They go crazy for the stuff and take it back to their nest. Except borax kills them in quick order. I was skeptical, but damn it if it didn’t work like a champ. Good luck… they can be resilient!

You had me at “eat it”. What’s it taste like?

[–] Unabart 2 points 2 months ago

True. Tough if you’re wearing hats!

I don’t know… between that massive bezel and taking up the gpio power, that’s kind of a drag. Price is right, however. And i’m sure my petty issues don’t speak for the masses!

I was just listening to a few tracks from Lead Into Gold, which is Paul Barker’s latest gig. Smooth stuff with those drums you want.

Probably because consumers have made them billionaires.

Filter Spam (self.protonmail)
 

In a perfect world, I shouldn’t be getting any spam at all to my PM accounts, but the address got leaked in a Shopify breach, so it’s something I have to live with. And PM does a respectable at filtering it out.

However, I’d like to go a step further. I still glance through my spam to make sure I’m not discarding any false positives and think that with a filter, I can eliminate up to 50% just on keywords alone. Except filters don’t seem to apply anything in the Spam folder.

Would be nice to have the option with filters to include that folder.

That’s all. Thanks!

CD Prices? (self.cd_collectors)
submitted 2 years ago by Unabart to c/cd_collectors
 

Hi. I am very happy to hear CDs are having a moment again. I intend to waste no time in offloading my collection while the getting is good. I have about 500 discs, mostly metal, punk, hardcore, weird alternative stuff.

Where do you look to determine prices for discs? Aside from eBay, where are they being resold? I’m breaking out the crate this weekend and cataloging everything.

Thanks for your help, everybody!
