Not slots in the big comp sense but the tech is there and it's just started to get used for storage devices (e.g. NVMe M.2 ports and built in eMMC modules). Also PCIe-backed network ports (2.5Gb)

If you fancy taking a look then three good SBCs I'd support are:

  • Rock Pi 4 - best tech support with their own Linux builds
  • Orange Pi 5
  • Banana Pi M7 - best for community of weirdos

Always worth checking they get good support (wiki, docs, forums) with recent OS builds. For example Orange Pi isn't great at providing builds for it's boards. Banana Pi is great for giving users the chance to ship their builds to others so the Wiki is crammed with newish builds. Rock SBCs have official OS builds

Yep - add that to the list!

Yes, indeed, there is!! It's called a Single-Board Computer (SBC).

  • Radza (make RockPi)
  • Pine64
  • FriendlyARM (NanoPi)
  • Orange Pi
  • SinoVOIP (Banana Pi)
  • HardKernel (Odroid)
  • LicheePi (for RISC-V lovers)

I've not looked too deeply but you may find this interesting then: https://gitlab.com/christophfink/metatube/-/tree/main/metatube

It's a Python package written by Cristoph Fink that does what it sounds like yours does and it's got the same name!!

I only discovered it cos I was gonna create an Arch (AUR) package of your MetaTube app until I noticed it already exists but for Christoph's. So I got confused and realised you both have similar projects with the same name....????

Let me know if you've 'crossed streams' cos I've adopted his Arch (AUR) package (since it was orphaned) and I'm not sure what to do with it!! Either I create a new package with yours named slightly different or I replace the existing with yours? Also does yours have a Python Package at PyPi cos his does?

If not I can create one for you if you want but I gotta ask for Arch and PyPi - what do you want yours called? :/

If you haven't forked his and developed it further I'll probs just create a new package of yours but maybe gimme a hint what to name it?

Suggestion: I can name yours metatubeon AUR since it's pushed as a full app. His can stay as python-metatube since his is a PyPI package. How does that sound?

ETA: I feel like I'm your band promoter/manager!! 😂

as a non smoker the attempt to smoke didn’t end very well.

Ouch!!! Yeah I remember my first time. I was in uni and two older girls (rocker girls) shared some weed with mine and my friends 'fresher' selves.

I'd done bongs up to that point cos I was very anti-smoking. But I asked to try a spliff and dragged on it - COUGH!! "Cough" doesn't do it justice!!! It felt like I was gonna vomit my fucking lungs and soul!! EVIL!! Fucking evil and to make it worse the two girls screamed "VIRGIN LUNGS, VIRGIN LUNGS!!!!!".

Any sense of pride quickly evacuated as I recovered on the FLOOR spitting and hacking like my life depended on it. I don't think they were "mean" - they just found the first toke - and reflex (virgin lungs), hacking like you're dying - funny. :/

Anyway after that first time my lungs seemed to be adapted. Even with long breaks I've never had a moment that bad so I think your brain or lungs just get used to it.

If not "mixing" have you done any other drugs besides alcohol? I only ask cos I'm a former addict so was gonna go on a long philosophical journey but thought I'd better ask before I make any assumptions!!! 😂

P.S. I'm not anti-drugs. I'm pro legalisation with caveats. ;)

No illegal drugs.

Do more pills and powders newbie!!! It's lots of fun! 😃

Are you from that East coast part of Canada that has the funny accent? New Foundland is it? Are you a fisherman?

The only way I ever managed 9hrs of clubbing is pills or powders! So which is it? :p

I've been to Der Nederlands on a road trip. Literally decided I needed to see Europe so jumped in my car and drove to Dover for the ferry.

Exited France as quickly as possible and spent lots of time in Belgium (Bruges) and Amsterdam. I partook of your cannabis, truffles and gawped at your red light women. I'm gay so I wasn't interested in them but holy shit they looked FAR too attractive to be standing in windows. They could have easily been models. Quite stunned how good looking they were.

Wrong equipment though - I wish you had a 'twink red light district' with guys in windows but I didn't see any. Was too busy being a 'dutchaboo'.

I parked in Rotterdam and went to see if I could catch the tube - I got there and everything was in Dutch!! I got confused and left scared. My journey from Utrecht was interesting. I drove down the motorway high on truffles thinking I needed the dashed line in the middle of the road had to merge with my car bonnet. I came to my senses and realised I was speeding in the middle of the motorway at 5am and should probs pull over.

That's when my car broke down in a service station and my phone battery was dying. I managed to call for recovery JUST before my battery died (for some reason the services refused to let me use their phone - I may have looked like a lunatic).

When the recovery guy came and restarted my car I was overcome with gratitude and started crying. Trying to give him a pile of Euros as a "tip" (we Brits don't do tips) and he just kept saying "no, no, no" and almost ran off. But oh my god that Dutchman was an angel! He saved my life. Can you imagine being in a foreign country with no phone, no car, no help. That Dutch angel is out there somewhere. I hope he's having his best life.

I did briefly try learning Dutch but it's a lot like English while being JUST different enough that it fucks your head up. I can see a Dutch sentence and it almost reads like silly English except the odd word that's FULL German! But you know what - Norwegian is even stranger! Cos it has the cadence and accent of English with some words even sounding English - but it's all nonsense. So Norwegian is like you're having a stroke and Dutch is like a drunk German speaking English.

I'd love to go back some time and experience the more calm, grown-up side of Der Nederlands some time. See some historical sites, visit museums, etc. Rather than the typical touristy drug and sex stuff that people do.

Oh and my apologies for going the wrong way round a roundabout that one time. All the cycle lanes and habit confused me.

music teacher

My music teacher in high school put me off music learning for most of my life. Looking back I realise he was just passionate but holy shit he was a miserable and impatient git. I was one of those kids who had to scribble numbers onto keyboard keys to remember what order to play them in. He probs hated that but hey ho it was my only chance at finishing the assignment to learn a orchestral piece by the end of 1hr. Which the middle-class kids with piano teachers aced but my working class arse couldn't fathom for shit!

As an adult I've tried learning guitar on a crappy ESP Ltd 10. Like this but white: https://www.espguitars.com/products/20426-mh-10

It was then I realised - I can't do music. I practiced solid for weeks and still couldn't get a smooth flow on the strings. On top of that I had to watch my fingers the entire time which another guitarist told me isn't normal. I can't do shit unless it's visual.

After a few weeks I still played 3 Little Birds by Marley from JustinGuitars playbook at a rate that's just embarrassing. Pling............pling pling.........FUCK.........pling.........wait it's...>FUCK.........pling.............SQUEEEEEEEKKK................PLING. This is fucking useless.

I did try Rocksmith on the PS and got pretty good at Muse Knights of Cydonia though! But then other parts of the game would try teaching you utterly bizarre chords like Eflatbminor which never gets played in any song ever. While I'm still struggling with fucking C!

I'm looking forward to the new Rocksmith - I hate Ubisoft but I did enjoy the game.

Saying all this has been excellent therapy. I don't blame you for the sins of my HS music teacher. Please be patient with your pupils. Some of them are probs like me - just retarded. :)

Well Darren (if that is you're real name). I'll be keeping my eye on this situation.
