If you had something hog memory and a lot of other stuff got paged out of ram as a result, that can slow things down. Try running “top” and see how much swap space is in use. If it’s more than a little bit, once you have enough memory available by shutting off whatever was hogging it, try “swapoff” (pages the stuff back in, which can take a little while) followed by “swapon” to re-enable swap.

Nice try, Special Agent Hnp.

This just isn’t general interest technology news, especially since it’s for a vaporware (crowdfunding) product. Might be ok on /arduino or something.

Here’s USB PD to 12 volts (other voltages available too), just wire it to the breadboard:

I know perfectly well what breadboards are. I even remember the Continental Specialties brand. They have power supply strips, like the ones on the edges in this pic. You connect power there.

This is spammy and there are already plenty of USB-C power conversion gadgets, e.g. on Adafruit. No crowdfunding needed.

You mean RPL? There are lots of interpreters for that already. That’s the sort of thing to write because you want to write it, not because other people want it, unless you’re part of a community that is asking for it.

If you just want to implement an interpreter because language implementation interests you, I suggest Lisp or Scheme rather than something like RPL. The book “Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs” explains how to do that and it is great. You can read it online at mitpress.mit.edu/sicp .

We need browser extensions to kill those tags automatically.

Interesting, I’ll take a look at it, thanks., But I’ve been particularly interested in Jami because it runs on multiple platforms, is on F-droid, and is a GNU program.

You can pay a lot less than 10x for completed panels. https://store.santansolar.com/ amazed me.

Thanks, I see conversations on f-droid so will try it. I don’t see Dino there but that’s ok. I’ll look up what OEMO is.

XMPP does video chat, or at least voice? What clients do you recommend? Linux, android, and iphone are all of interest. Thanks.

You’re broadcasting to family who will likely be using gmail, so what difference does it make? Google will get all the emails either way. Anyway, logical argumentation is completely useless in a personal situation like that.

If you want the address to be stable in the long term, you should probably use your own domain name instead of gmail or proton, if you’re not already doing that. After that, it’s possible to switch the hosting without changing the email address.
