My 2014 Mac mini server is running Mint. All in all it’s a really nice setup.

Oh, and a 2011 mini that I use to give induction presentations at work.

Unless I misunderstand, you’ve been able to do that since around 2011.

And somehow those prices won’t really drop when the tarriffs are quietly removed.

I’m looking at you, energy prices.

Actually, this is radical.

I’ll test Linux on a Mac this afternoon and see how it goes, but I’m optimistic it will just work also.

I have Mint running on 2011 and 2014 Mac minis. It’s basically flawless. The only trouble you might have is finding the wifi driver, depending on which model you’re using. Iirc, the minis were fine, but the 2011 MacBook Pro I put it on was a little more difficult to track down. But ethernet worked right out of the box, so it wasn’t a huge deal.

Linux on Apple Silicon is a trickier proposition, but getting less tricky all the time.

Bonjour!

I got an LG OLED a few weeks ago. Hands down the best TV screen I’ve ever owned.

Fuck knows what the stock OS does because I’ve only watched Apple TV through it.

Yeah, like several other people on the internet I’m not American, so I have no idea what this is about.

One man…

Mercury Rev - In The Wilderness In My Arse

Does it incorporate Smart Pipe™ technology?

WHAT IS THE CHARGE? Shooting a RAPIST? A disgusting rapist?

Yeah, I’m in the process of shifting all of my workflows over to Linux/Android from all-Apple, but my Macs are a huge sticking point. My main computer is an M2 Macbook Air, which is ridiculously quick. I’m basically just waiting for Asahi to gain display port over USB, at which point I’ll ditch macOS. But until then…

I still miss Roger.

This ain’t my first rodeo, Chief.

Cool. Lower prices at the pump in 5… 4… 3…

It’s as easy as using two three shells.

We’ve got one of those ones that attaches to a regular toilet, and I gotta say that it’s fucking wonderful.

However. The water pressure in our house can be kinda weird. Mostly it’s normal, but sometimes it’s like a jet washer for a few seconds. And those few seconds after you’ve first opened the bidet are like getting reamed out by a Karcher.

Mr Mobile talked about this in his review of Oppo’s Find N5.

Essentially, while the product is great and folding phones are finding more utility, the price is still prohibitively high.

I upgraded to a Pixel 9 a few months ago because I specifically wanted to run GrapheneOS. I did considered a Pixel Fold, but really couldn’t justify the extra cost. Maybe next time though…
