Got this one for a couple of bucks.
It is in a very non-working condition, basically nothing electrical is working.
The only thing left is a Cathode-ray tube and some speakers - the rest was thrown out long time ago.

So, I need some tips from #fediverse

What display-panel should I put in this one?

I am thinking, of reusing a raspberry pi and make it some sort of "media station" if possible. But first do I need to make the display functional.

Continued thread

I have found an interesting quirk with my freeBSD installation, running on my SATA SSD, which I mount through an USB tray, directly to the USB port on the computer.

As long as i leave the second port of the USB tray open, everything runs fine and smooth. The moment I mount another drive in the second port, freeBSD only does the initial part of the startup sequence and then complains that it cannot go any further.

No further explanation given

Seeking for log files is not an option because the operating system itself doesn't boot.

Where in the documentation should I look for this type of issue?

@dff Searching the #unixODBC site, it looks like there was a text/#csv #ODBC driver called #SQI with LGPL license. I'm not seeing the code in the latest version of unixODBC even though the driver is listed at their site. However, much older versions of unixODBC had a txt subdirectory under Drivers with the code. Wonder if anyone's using this driver and how hard it would be to get it built and working. #AskFedi #AskFediverse

Does anyone have a good example of an ad, webpage, video or other marketing material that does a good job of both *educating* and selling? Ideally about a technical thing?

That’s generally what every pitch I send needs to do, and I’m having a hard time educating briefly enough that it "clicks” for people.

I'm a #freelance web developer mostly pitching static websites over WordPress / Squarespace.

I'm reading a manga that has been scanlated in Spanish
While I try to read I translate sentences with deep.

I wonder if there's a comic reader that would allow me to add notes with my translations, such that if I hover the mouse where there's a note I could see the text I left there.

I know that pdf readers can do that but I want to do this with cbz files.

Any help / suggestions please?

It would be fun to have an AI to talk to. But I don't want the AI to connect to any third-party, and I want the AI to be completely blank so it can learn from what I give the AI.

Anyone here who knows if there's any FOSS projects that offers this type of AI? Preferably installed with Docker.
