When I was a kid, my dad and I put together a computer and set up Kubuntu on it. I'm not sure what inspired him, given he's never really used Linux.

THE FREEDOM. FREE YOUR MIND, USE LINUX.

I first used on a raspi.
I kept getting more into it because of the full range and motion that it gives me when i'm using it.

NPC 09/15/19 (Sun) 21:00:44 No.151

I read the GPL2, went 'oh, this is cool', and then decided to use linux.

No, seriously. This actually happened.

This one is pretty big, and it supports 1600x1200 resolution (i use 1280x1024, because that's the highest resolution that can display in 85hz)

I've been interested in finding one. Haven't used a CRT monitor since 2006. But I have plenty of CRT TVs around me.

Observer 09/01/19 (Sun) 23:08:04 No.150

Not for PC, but I have one that has all the consoles before Xbox 360 hooked up to it. With the exception of the Wii, which is also hooked up to the CRT just because.

Running a chan NPC 08/26/19 (Mon) 18:17:35 No.144 [Reply]

Have you ever operated a chan?

What does it take, in terms of memory, CPU, bandwidth and disk space to run a chan? Let's suppose it's at wirechan's posting rate.

What software is best? Vichan? Lynxchan?

Guest 08/27/19 (Tue) 00:29:50 No.145

Something like that.
At this posting rate, a raspberry pi would suffice.

Default User 08/29/19 (Thu) 19:03:33 No.148

I've had a test chan (using modified dietchan) for a few days, so maybe I can't talk about disk space, but memory usage was really small (a few MBs) and the CPU usage was close to zero (it's not like it wasn't used, over those few days we racked up around 200 posts).

Virtual Ghost 08/30/19 (Fri) 12:47:48 No.149

vichan is dogshit and highly over used

It's working on the breadboard now =D

Kind of an odd solution, but dropping the clock rate back down to 8Mhz with xdiv=0x01, same as the nano got results


void nnn_ILI9341::clock_modifier(uint8_t xdiv){
CLKPR = 1<<7;
CLKPR = xdiv & 0x0F;
    }

Guest 07/21/18 (Sat) 13:30:24 No.53

Well, it worked for a bit on the breadboard, loose connections(?) permitting

Still no luck with the harness / display out, though it's reading the touch input over spi just fine

Observer 08/01/18 (Wed) 02:58:04 No.54

Started making a second harness using solid-core jumper-wires, display tested okay on usb power prior to wiring in the touch interface, but now again doesn't want to work

Also with both harnesses display and touch works when the micro is powered directly from a couple of AA batteries, as an anon mentioned elsewhere

NPC 08/04/18 (Sat) 03:27:33 No.56

More tests, 2xAA through a little voltage step-up chip for 5 volts, 32u4 / harness 2
Display is working

Tried to repeat display working without touch connected using jumpers, usb connected / fail?

It really doesn't want to work on the 32u4/pro micro with usb connection for some reason

This! Unless you're working on a side project or using a lower-end rig for other various reasons. But for your main rig 16GB is the standard.

I have 16 Gigs in my main machine, but I also use that one for photoshop/premiere and music production. I use my laptop for pretty much only browsing the web and reading and I never reach past 4 Gig doing that. So I'd say, you do you, there's no point in upgrading if you don't need it.

i mean, main rig has 8gb, t510 has 4gb and im working in setting up a minecraft server with 2gb and a ib with 1gb, 16gb seems too much of a meme, yet again i didnt upgrade my pc until its intel 2 quad and 2gb of ram shit the bed
