@h3artbl33d I'd think about fiction related to these ideas but frankly I dropped my power bills by taking these 1U servers out of service and replacing them with workstations. Still Xeon, still ECC, but less power draw - single power supply, larger fans that can spin slower.

"Twasn't me..." "Well... it was teh case's fault!!!11!!!" If you ever wanted a good reason to keep around your failed hard drives, scavenging screwed up logic boards is a good reason. Ha!#Linux #RunBSD #SelfHosting #SelfHosted #Hardware #HDD

26/07/15 ⇒ Open Book Touch: A pocketable, front-lit, open source e-reader — for every book, in every language Open Book Touch is the device I’ve been trying to build for six years: a small, beautiful, completely open source e-book reader that does one thing and does it well. There are no physical buttons on the front; the device is a single, perfectly symmetrical 4.26-inch front-lit e-paper touchscreen, one centimeter thin in its enclosure. Open Book Touch slips into a pocket and disappears until you unlock it to read. https://www.crowdsupply.com/oddly-specific-objects/open-book-touch

Last week I bought a Rode Interview PRO wireless microphone. It is a beautiful piece of hardware — properly wireless, with onboard storage so I can record street interviews without worrying about signal drops. I have been waiting for sunny weather to take it out for its first real test. On paper, Linux support should be a non-issue. Plug it in, it shows up as USB mass storage, copy your WAV files off, done. And that part works perfectly. I pulled my first recordings off, edited them, everything was fine. https://linuxrenaissance.com/post/krode/

We’re releasing a brand new, open-source mouse design: the Bean, which is a pointing stick mouse (also called a nub mouse). (…) As with all of our other kits, the Bean is 3D-printed and fully open-source. Mechanical files, electrical files, and firmware have all been released, along with documentation on how to make and modify your own. It’s all on Github! https://ploopy.co/bean/ https://blog.ploopy.co/the-bean-is-here-435 https://github.com/ploopyco/bean-pointing-stick/
