Here we gooooo, the king of all junk setups.

Yeah, I’ve collected some used disks over the years.

The housing has been drafted in FreeCAD and then sliced out of scrap plywood.

And yes, the temperature is okay.

What’s currently running on mine:

• 10 commodity SSDs through a powered USB hub forming a poor man’s NAS with snapraid + mergerfs
• Podsync for converting my favorite YouTube channels to podcast feeds
• Syncthing for generic file synchronization
• K3s for whatever projects coming to my mind
• Retroarch for occasional gaming needs
• MPD with a floppy disk interface as my music station
• CUPS for printserver

Not exactly a terminal bell, but in my own phone I have replaced all system sounds with those coming from Doom 3 and Quake 2. Best UI sounds ever.

Plasma rifle cocking for display unlock is music to my ears.

Homebox supports the https://<hostname>/a/<inventory_id> shorthand and does a 302 jump for you. Otherwise yes, I would have implemented the API search in a microservice.

It’s Nelko P21, around $20.

For now I use the vendor provided app, given it supports a share intent, so I can simply toss a PNG from Vivaldi at it and make it print the label. It does the job, and more importantly, it bypasses all possible obnoxious advertisement.

Grab Homebox here and start tracking your inventory!

PlanetComputers Gemini is a pretty close modern day replica made by the same engineers who put their experience into creating the Psion 5.

Quite pricey for a somewhat limited by today’s standards smartphone if you ask me, but still available on Ebay.

And yes, it can run Ubuntu.
