#quieter — Public Fediverse posts

Oh, and I almost forgot another good quality! The #Tru unit is MUCH #quieter in operation than any other automatic drip machine I've had at home.

Dear Friends of all that right (not right or left wing you muppet) with the world, 🦞

I love #reading:

So many people have nothing #worth being disempowered by. Always the way. So find the #happy, #positive, #solutions. The #quieter, #maturity. The #experienced help, ally, direction. I do every day. It is the most #worthwhile thing I can do and #share ...

Bought this MeLE Quieter3C fanless mini-PC.

Seems a nice little machine, and not too-slow like the mini-PC it's replacing.

Installing Debian wasn't entirely smooth though. Wifi drivers not in Debian 12 yet.

Had to install over ethernet and then figure out how to compile and install the wifi afterwards.

These being the ones in question: ( https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89 )

In particular the required incantation is:
{{{
apt install dh-sequence-dkms debhelper build-essential devscripts make gcc build-essential git linux-headers-$(uname -r)
mkdir src
mkdir src/wifi
cd src/wifi/
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89
cd rtw89/
git clean -xfd
git deborig HEAD
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
cd ..
dpkg -i rtw89-dkms_1.0.2-3_all.deb
modprobe -v rtw_8852ae
}}}

Otherwise it seems a lovely machine.

Dunno why I sat around letting the default installed windows update before wiping it though. Wasted hours doing that for some reason. Then wasted ages figuring out the Debian wifi thing.

Still, the machine is plenty good enough now and my magic-mirror computer has progressed some.

Runs way hot though. Gonna have to be some careful case design when that part comes to avoid melting it.

Thinking more about this, it sounds like it’s not just the chemicals that are better for the #environment - it seems possible that these machines would draw less #energy and be much #quieter, too.

Despite more users, seems a bit.... #quieter? As well as less engagement... #confused

Sometimes, a great #hackathon opportunity comes up. In a place and with people I like. Say, the "All-Stars" (past participants/winners, long-time tech people, inc. friends) #StartupWeekend in #Nantes 🇫🇷, this WE. #swna
Then I remind myself: I don't like running on less than 8h of sleep and working on the WE anymore, it usually misses down- / me-times, it is fully unmasked because "COVID is over". 🤷‍♂️
What are the #better, #healthier, #quieter #hackathons you heard of, attended, organized?
