A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

  1. The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
  2. If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
  3. The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
  4. You cannot be a large corporation.
  5. The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

Can we get an Open-Hardware CD-ROM/Optical-disk reader for our PCs ?

What was the thinking behind full sized SDXC cards instead of micro sdxc like damn near every other device made this side of 2011?

[–] drdiddlybadger@pawb.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

You can adapt a micro sd into a full-sized right?

Link saved. Definitely gonna see how this progresses so I might get one in the future.

How large a library can it handle? I've had two others similar but they parsed files so slowly as to be ultimately useless

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

you'd have to be pretty dumb to fuck up text parsing that badly. Maybe if you don't implement segmented processing, and have a 50k line text file or something.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Guess maybe 30GB of files in an avg of 10MB bites is a chore

i wouldn't know, i'm sure we'll know soon enough though.

Could it run Rockbox ? My iPods and sansa run with rockbox, it's awesome.

[–] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I've waited so long for one but it's too underpowered for the price.

Does it come with open source earbuds?

[–] paequ2 1 points 2 weeks ago

No earbuds, player only.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lots of people complaining about the software. Why did they even bother writing software? Does it run rockbox?

[–] themachine@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Because they wanted to. It's a passion project meant for certainly not everyone and made by a very small team of people.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Sure, but if they have fewer people then why reinvent the wheel? The open hardware is new and great, but the open software already exists.

[–] Nindelofocho@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Its good to have options and while it may not be great now they have to start somewhere
