They’re Ryzen processors with “AI” accelerators, so an LLM can definitely run on hardware on one of those. Other options are available, like lower powered ARM chipsets (RK3588-based boards) with accelerators that might have half the performance but are far cheaper to run, should be enough for a basic LLM.

Event planning platforms are never going to compete with massive social communication platforms, they’re entirely different ends of the stick.

As long as Mobilizon continues to work, that’s all I ask for.

Shame nobody has been able to reuse the existing Google board but this is probably the next best thing. Might have to pick up a few boards.

I’ve been a Posteo customer for a few years and they’ve been great. €1 a month, mail storage encryption, works great with any IMAP client.

As good as the intentions of Tutanota and Proton are with free plans, the likes of Gmail have taught me to be very wary of free plans of anything.

I run AntiX on my EeePC 701, the original with a 630mhz Celeron. Runs a treat.

A lot of the modern MDisc media is made with organic dyes as Verbatim has more or less given up on the format. Be warned. https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/yu4j1u/psa_verbatim_no_longer_sells_real_m_discs_now/

Debian has official support for RISC V boards, but they don’t have officially available images for those boards (at least not the Mars).

I have a Milk-V Mars but it really isn’t performant enough for any task I have for an SBC. Distro support seems to be a pain too, as the provided Debian image isn’t meant to run on repos aside from a Debian snapshot from 2022.

I really do hope things improve. I’m planning on moving over to an RK3588 ARM board for desktop daily drivering but one day I’m hoping a decently affordable RISC V alternative will turn up.
