Not sure where I ask, I figure here might be good.

I want a digital picture frame that has some sort of API to update. I'm not picky on what as long as I can add and remove content from code. Like an actual Dropbox App integration would be fine too, where whatever files I put in a folder automatically get added to the rotation. Most of them I've seen are along the lines of "login to this terrible web site to manage pictures" or "pull out SD card or plug computer to frame to update".

I don't even mind hosting, like if I give a URL that returns a list of other images to rotate through or something. Fine, that works.

I am aware I could do this with a Pi and any LCD, but I would like a single hardware unit that someone else makes pretty.

Competitions. In college I did the ACM ICPC and trained hard with my schools programming team.

These days I do advent of code, which will start on Dec 1. But you can go fo previous years now. It is great.

 

I think the hole in the pot handle works great as a place to set the spoon. My friend thinks this should be illegal.

Before looking at the trailer, I was expecting a complete white wash without any of the Chinese history. But after seeing that, I have some hope that it is faithful. We shall see.

Ha, yeah. I like it when I set off the alarms at stores and then ask, you want to look at my stuff? They just wave and say, naw, your good. Couldn't get caught if I tried.

Yeah, shit got weird but I'm.into it.

Never build a big building without planting the trees for the replacement beams.

Heh, the blackberries will do fine regardless of what I want. I wasn't trying to take them, some just got mixed in.

It is mixed in with some blackberries..there are some losses in the process. Fortunately blackberries thrive on abuse.

I haven't watched the show yet but the books were very good.

The author came out of no where and self published on Amazon. Now he just boats around without a shirt. Occasionally he docks, finds a shirt and signs some books.

(I follow him on Instagram...only exaggerated slightly)

I've been fighting these damn blue spike vines.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

That is actually pretty solid. Ordered one.

Expensive is a little bit a problem. Mostly I don't want to spend money.

I'm going to try a Zimaboard for the backup server. It should be fine. I might need a USB hub but whatever, performance isn't a wiggle there.

I'm not allowed to go places or do things. That isn't a bad idea though.

Better than 2 closed walled gardens.

 

I have two systems that I need to replace. One is my backup server, which runs FreeBSD and uses some USB attached drives. Really that could be done with anything that is like a Pi, except amd64/x86.

The other is my pfSense router. It is having some hardware issue, which isn't surprising, I pulled parts out of my scrap pile to make it. For that, I need something that can take an pcie card for my dual 10g network card. Does anyone have any ITX or smallish machines they like? Actual smallness doesn't matter so much as not being expensive.

How do people go about finding things these days? I used to use newegg, but mostly now it seems to be a trap of accidentally ordering parts from the moon. Amazon is fine if you know exactly what you want already. Pcpartspicker works well, if you are building a full system from parts (which I do for bigger machines) but I don't know where to get barebones boxes.

Ok, there is this candy (pictured) which is Family Foods International brand Coconut Candy (the green bag). It is very much not fancy but also very much hard to find on the mainland.

Would someone be willing to go to the store, buy about 10 bags and mail them to me in Washington state?

I'll pay up front with Zelle or ETH or BCH or Monero or even (Paypal). Happy to pay cost of product plus shipping plus $50 for your troubles.

This was a long slog. 45k cargo rockets.

 

The big ship got pulled away in a vortex so was nearly out of fuel. It ran to the nearest star and waited for the fast shuttle to meet it there and bring it more.

 

If anyone sees this, the answer is probably yes. I can't tell if this thing is working.
