That looks kinda like my project down to the same board. Crazy. Not sure why hes charging for it, its very simple to program. And heltek comes with a plastic casing to begin with.

It looks familiar butbwith an eink screen rather than the heltek screen that comes with it. Cool little device he made.

Theres a metric ton of open source clones.

I believe so. They had some sort of system setup if i recall.

It would be nice if we had something like friendica but VERY hard to implement.

Same. And like you said its easy to remove for instances. I think its like the third screen when you set up the instance. Im having a wonderful time on piefed and a couple of my PRs were accepted no fuss.

Ill do that thanks.

I kinda want to get another one but im waiting on the open source https://diptyx.dev/

I didnt expect references so when they pop up i get screenshots. Men writing woman ref.

Ill be honest i just read in the light. Or use a small 50c book light. Its a decade old ebook reader. It works and still lasts about a week with a very old battery.

Lol i have no idea. I have all the ebooks but this is quite a bit further than the last book that came out. I like tge books more because they are edited and i believe pirate aba deserves $$.

I downloaded the web serial a bit ago sp this is based on that. On a tangent, this is the only ebook reader that will load the wandering inn in completion. Over 100mb of pure txt. As an ebook it was 4.6 GB big. I started reading this series a coupke of years ago and om just now nraeing the 50% mark. God its massive. Its my soap opera of writing haha.

I think i have that model. Fantastic ebook reader if so.

Oh nice. Looks cool.

Yep. Ill agree to that lol.

I feel you. HD space (and everything else) is sooo expensive. I have an old spinning drive for my peertube instance just cause is easy to source.

This is the best thread so far. Really enjoying seeing peoples setups! Thanks @northernlights@lemmy.today !

Oi thats too clean for this thread. Get out of here! /s Nice setup.

I want one! Ive been thinking of setting up one with solar since my area gets next to no rain and hot as hell. Might as well use that to my advantage!

Oh neat! is that where peertube.wtf is also hosted?

This looks like an after-work special. Nice setup. That APC is awesome. I need to get a new one.

nice
