This is too funny, but I'm an old enough fart to have used a slide-rule. My early study for a 1st Class Radio Telephone license included calculating by slide rule. Fortunately, I picked up a used HP-35 calculator for $320 before I actually took the FCC test. The test WITH the calculator took me 4 hours and I ran out of battery at the end of the test. But I passed.

Got old x86 10.1ββ tablet for free, with one βsmallβ caveat - 1 Gb of DDR3 RAM and 16 Gb of internal storage. It had Win 10 Home from factory, version from 2018 - which was able to squeeze into 600-700 Mb of RAM, leaving 300 to user.
Well, Antix works kinda decent, consuming 200 Mb when idle. MX Linux (xfce version) looks good but eats the same 700 Mbβ¦
But the real depths of pain were making touchscreen workβ¦ spent 8 hours just on that and failed miserably. Tomorrow will go for a cheap android tabletβ¦
The only thing it needs to provide - working flowkey app.
What is the cpu? If something, zswap (250mb) with lz4 and zram (2gb on disk) with lz4 too, on a lightweight distro on btrfs with lzo compression might make it usable. Disk compression might make it usable on the disk side and memory compression might make it run at least not extremely bad on the cpu side. Maybe cachyos with gnome (i know, but it is the only DE with good touchscreen) can be at least usable.
If more things, I can try to help. I have a linux tablet.
Edit: Maybe more space (external sd card with btrfs and lzo) could be used as /home too, but only with more information given, what is the setup?
Edit: My config that I made it work and run decently:
I used to have an iMac that I loved (screen was excellent) but it quickly became a shitbox (because Apple) so I turned it into a X Server for my far more powerful Linux box. Is there a modern equivalent of that? Basically turn it into a thin client?
Edit: for kiosks, Windows 10 can be quite happy on 1GB RAM, but that 16GB storage is a problem.

Hi everyone,
I would love to showcase some of my photos on our Samsung The Frame TV since it is literally made for displaying Pictures. Sadly however it is not running Android TV, but instead this weird Tizen Operating System.
I already have Jellyfin running, which has a Tizen APp that can be sideloaded and which works amazing for TV shows and movies, but the image gallery works a little janky for me (relative slow loading, no slideshow options).
Since I wanted to get Immich running for a while now anyway to further degoogle myself, I thought this would be a good opportunity. However it seems like there is no plan to implement a frontend app for Immich for Tizen (understandably...) (github.com/immich-app/immich/dβ¦).
My question is if any of you know of an App that I can install on my Samsung TV to browse and display pictures that are stored on my local server?
I have searched the existing feature requests to make sure this is not a duplicate request. Yes The feature immich web app is currently not compatible with Samsung TV (running tizen). I own 2 years...GitHub
Hi Lemmy!
This post is a way for me to announce one of my apps that I made for my personal usage.
It is a front end for yt-dlp and ffmpeg. It isn't just a yt-dlp downloader; it's more like a utility app that does anything that I need. The "special" part about this software is probably the ability to download YouTube subtitles and then embed them into the audio file as synced lyrics. Well, that is the only "unique" thing about it. As Iβm still quite new to programming, there may be some bugs, and I appreciate your understanding. Iβm also learning how to package it as a deb/rpm and plan to dedicate time to this during the summer. For now, the only way to download it will be to build from source with the bash install script in my repo.
If you have some time to try the app, I would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to read this! π

Cool stuff, thank you for sharing your project with the community ! It's very cool and useful for people who just want a set and forget situation !
I stoped using yt-dlp frontends the moment I saw youtube actually serving upscaled opus media files (very visible line on a spectrogram). Also their metadata is totally fucked-up and not very well organized and full of shit (comments with huge spaces and non useful metadata...).
Sure, the metadata part is easily fixable with Picard MusicBrainz, but the quality downgrade was a huge no for me. Nowadays, I use nicotine, rutracker and private trackers to download FLAC quality files and transcode them to opus 192k to serve them in my Navidrome library with a well curated metadata structure !
Yes it takes way more time and some dedication but it's worth it π specially If you are some kind of perfectionist and like everything neatly organized ! π
More power to you for keeping the opensource community thriving !! Thank you !

Wow really? Are you sure it applies to all audio files? YouTube gathers music records from different companies so they could be of varying quality. To me the opus quality from YouTube was always decent and personally I cannot hear any compression in the audio. The metada is not perfect, but I usually use some tag editor to complete what's missing. YTDLnis on Android does a great job of scraping as much usable metada from YouTube Music as possible.

Ok I'll take this as my opportunity to rant about a pet peeve.
Wearing a harness in this style of elevating work platform is more dangerous than not wearing one, and having a requirement to do so is part of what's wrong with work health and safety.
The only way someone falls out of this, beyond mechanical failure or tipping, is if they lean so far over the railing they fall out of it.
If I need to wear a harness in this, you need to wear one whenever you walk next to a balcony.
