I would by from system76 or framework - dedicated linux companies that will ensure things work.

There are a lot of people invested in trying to make their drug of choice 'safe', while others are invested in making it 'unsafe'. Thus a lot of studies are done and any result that fits a narrative is amplified by those who care. meanwhile real science is mostly lost in thd noise. I take all studeis with evtra salt.

The price of a mini pc includes the price of the case, power supply, heat sinks, fans and such. The hdmi is the only thing suspect but if the case doesn't expose the hdmi port that will be in the minipc as well. when you compare just the board of a pi to a full pc that is unfair.

There are two clipboards in X11 - but MMB pastes from the selection not the clipboard. I have never heard of the other clipboard being used for anything and I first heard of this more than 30 years ago. (I don't know what wayland does about clipboards, butiit acts live X11)

A pound is the same for both. The oz measure is what was different. Thus an oz of metal is heavier than an oz of feathres. However a pound of both weights the same.

Bambu has great marketing: they have given printers to a lot of well known makers who in turn now feature them on their YouTube and the like. If you just want a printer that prints standard stuff with standard work flows they are probably good. However they are in the long run likely to be expensive since they require their supplies (which are reportedly good, but expensive). If you want to print something and not think about the printer they are good enough. However if you want to hack a printer, save money, or experiment they are going to limit you.

Everyone recommends Prusa for a reason: most of the things that make printing good and easy were developed by Prusa and then the others used the open source license to put their own name on it. Some of the others have done some innovation, but the major hard work was done by Prusa and he should be supported for that.

normally I'd agree but the language in question here is russian that currently needs to die for political reasons. Too bad, it is a pretty language from the little I've heard it.

Russian is useful to know if you are a spy but otherwise not worth it

Some people care. Those who don't should just respect them by always leaving it down. Understanding isn't asked for, just respect

I suspect he has plenty of equally evil replacements ready to take over.

 

My wife is complaining that we have music all over the living room all the time. With a couple kids in music lessons, school bands (regular, jazz), orchestra, and such a practice session often needs 6 books and 5 loose pages of music so I can't blame her for being frustrated. There is no easy way to store all that and find what you need for the current daily practice sessions.

Putting a tablet (suggestions? schools gives the kids an iPad, and I'm looking at pinetab2, or boox for me) on a stand seems easy enough, but then what?

Mobile sheets seems to be what others around me use, so probably what I'd end up doing too, though I'm not locked to anything. Any other software that I should be looking at? I do like the idea that we can synchronize page turning.

The hard part is getting all my music onto my NAS. Do I just scan all my books? Buy again as PDF (only rarely an option). Entry the music into some other program? I have some sheet music I want to put into lilypond - is there anything that would sync my tablets to a rendered version of this.

I already have Jellyfin and I see book options (but have not used it yet). Calibri-web also comes up often for books. Both seem book reading focused and music flows / organization is different. Anything else I might want to put on my servers that might be better?

Any other thoughts? What have others done that works?
