@sic_semper_tyrannis@flork I have a similar tiny PC. There's a few manufacturers of similar items, some even have like 4 or 6 m2 slots to make excellent little NAS or similar.
From memory, Geekcom (Sp?). have a look on your favourite AliExpress-type mart. Intel N100 or N150 CPUs seem to the thing, but beware of the RAM limits for those if that's a thing for you. There are some fun AMD ones out there too.
@Mattr@Toasted_Breakfast They're trying some things like lock-screen ads on some models too. Turned "off" by default (for now). But their Phone (3) isn't getting that, if i understand correctly. Just the (a) models.
@HubertManne@Eyekaytee It's sticking in my mind that's there extra "stuff" that needs to happen for a battery to supply power to the house if the mains feed drops. But I can't remember what the man said. I will have to read up on it again and consider if it's worth it - I'm not sure I expect many outages (metro area, with newly-upgraded/buried power lines). And i'd just go to the park if there was one.
@Gorgritch_umie_killa yeah, Nedlands, before they got dissolved, abolished, or whatever the word is, I believe.
For me, the impression I continually get from my local council is that they may be good people with good intentions and set good policy, but the Operations side of the town just go about doing whatever they want anyway. It doesn't seem to matter who gets voted onto it, not a lot of visible change.
@Eyekaytee@Nath Yeah, govt keeps opening its wallet to bring entertainment and sports over.
Personally, I don't like them funding UFC, and advertising it on the bridge they promised would never be used for advertising. But I read it's to try and sway the "bogan vote".
@BonesOfTheMoon must have been fighting them off with a stick
@eten Well it's only polite
@Glytch ah. not in my timeline view

@Glytch @krooklochurm i don't think i want to know how that conversation started
@Wren @lmmarsano I think I might use that as my email signature
@FreedomAdvocate @Eyekaytee quicker i can get off-grid, the better

@Gorgritch_umie_killa It's fascinating reading https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-09/fiona-argyle-mayor-of-nedlands-council-dissolved-follow-barnett/105511328
Pure hearsay from people I know that know people that worked there, but yep, she was as completely unhinged as she appears to be.

@Gorgritch_umie_killa the sooner huge chunks of them are amalgamated, the better.
And obvs need some way to weed out people with "nearly 3 degrees"
@non_burglar @Damage Are they just TOTP authentication codes you need? If so, you there's alternatives
@WhatAmLemmy @saltesc I think the handed over Squeezebox when deciding they'd done enough squeezing?
@Wispy2891 just wanting to say, best avatar i've seen for a while. love it.

This is a cautionary tale on browser password managers (amongst other facepalms) that saw about millions of people's personal details stolen - https://www.oaic.gov.au//_/_data/assets/pdf/_file/0037/228979/Medibank-data-breach-alleged-timeline-infographic.pdf
@Eyekaytee Bears could be a good thing. Obvs once people get over the name.
