@qsdnl any tool that doesn't let me use ./.config instead of ./ makes me profoundly unhappy

@ferron_web I have filesystem level compression so it's not _that_ bad, but it does speak to the level of duplication in the target folder that builds up over time

looks like people are catching on

Today on the blog, we discuss a pathway for the second life of phones through the exploration of “phone cluster computing”, which can directly reduce the environmental footprint of computing by avoiding the need for further raw material extraction. More →https://t.co/FFUNjfaEm5

2nd hand 2+ gen old flagship Android phones that you can root+reflash are actually pretty killer value wise - even if just for the RAM. Going to see if I can make a cluster.

@mil000 please be quiet, i need to slurp up 2nd hand mac minis for cheap when they flood the market

very good £/GB (ram and storage), built in UPS (battery), touchscreen if you want it, (decently) powerful and efficient CPU&GPU (and even an NPU.. if you can figure out how to use it (good luck)). only real downsides are ethernet over OTG & soldered parts.

@geofflangdale how much information about the hardware does it have? does it have a perfect model that can tell it exactly how the hardware will behave given a series of instructions?

@davidtolnay That is a very interesting approach to cable management 😂
