Apparently my crapper can’t take much toilet paper either. After leaving hospital, I clogged my mom’s crapper up first.

Well, the other person that uses that crapper at my mom’s, uses four squares only. But I think it would be easier to use my bare hand, then a square of toilet paper.

Got a removable shower head, that can help clean it up too.

Also, good thing I’m wearing glasses to the bathroom now. Cause, I might not see shit on crapper seat without them on.

One of the kids, left shit on the crapper seat at my mom’s. And then if somebody puts the lid down, it smears it. I wonder, did I do that too, when I was a kid? I did get blood on the crapper seat once.

Well, I went to use the crapper at her house today, and a bunch of people were over there, and didn’t even look at seat before sitting down. Never checked my ass, so no idea if I sat in anything.

Well, I only need a yellow ball sack net, for the toilets at medical places. My crapper not the same, and neither is my mom’s. That reminds me, I could have peed in a “hat”, instead of a cup. Who’s hat? Somebody told me some story about somebody peeing in somebody’s boots once.

I haven’t gotten the privilege to pee in boots, nor a hat.

Also, aren’t Wasabi camera batteries supposed to swell up? Camera wouldn’t turn on, and Wasabi battery came out no problem. Put other battery in, and camera turned on. Wasabi battery is charging now. The used camera came with a Wasabi battery and charger.

I bought a Jupio battery. Are those made in Japan? Maybe. But Wasabi actually is charging. Some rechargeable AA and AAA batteries, that died completely, couldn’t recharge.

The Wasabi charger seems cheap, but it works. Not sure any of the chargers on B&H are really that much better. They all look sort of the same.

What about Green Extreme? $50 for two batteries + charger. Not the cheapest. Wasabi might be cheaper. But rather have one Jupio and another charger. Which might cost about the same, depending on the charger.

Nice charger for my Olympus camera, but don’t think I can get a plate to charge a Panasonic battery.

Not on iOS, VPN On Demand, doesn’t work. Have to sign up for beta to even get it. Jetbird works on Android.

Well, that Moto phone, is complete crap, so no thanks. Custom ROM on it means no incoming calls. No custom ROM, and it’s complete crap.

Not wasting time looking for a third party NetBird client for iOS. The iOS app store is junk, just like Apple, Google, Microsoft, and so on.

Can’t even get a working browser in iOS. Would have to live in Europe.

Updating it to the newest version was a big mistake. The big update is complete crap.

I wonder, can I go back to whatever I had? Probably not.

This iPhone 15 might be worth over $200, that’s enough for a shitty ass refurbished Google Pixel phone on Backmarket. Sounds like a lot of work though. So not really worth it.

Setting up my own VPN on a server of some kind, would be less work. Assuming the WireGuard client works.

This is what everybody gets when companies only care about money. A bunch of useless junk.

And all iOS 18 versions no longer signed. Why would I ever buy any Apple product if they can’t even make working software?

Screen protector has a nice rainbow effect too. But phone is junk, so no point in doing anything about that.

Apparently ntfy app in iOS is useless as well. Text only. Have to use the web app, and configure it right. Well, too much work. I’ll enjoy the broken VPN.

That didn’t take long. Maybe the drive is bad. Cause I was restoring data. Tried opening Local-WP in Distrobox too. Maybe Distrobox also freezes it. But not on desktop. Drive is too small. Cause I hoard files.

And probably restic caused it to freeze. Or me, for restoring incorrectly.

Need to delete everything in folder again. First to –dry-run restic, to make sure the exclude options work. Might need a -v option too.

And then I’ll need to delete everything in home folder again.

No notifications with iOS anymore. I did update my phone.

Still the best watch I’ve had. Like the round big screen. Just use it for time then, since Apple is a dick. If I lived in Europe, the watch could work better.

Worked fine with Gadgetbridge and old firmware on Android.

Well, guess I can’t switch to Boost Mobile. Says something went wrong when trying to order it.

So the money people just block it if I accidentally have a typo in my first name? Well, maybe I can’t use that card at all now, then. Goodbye Philo then, and any other online bills.

And Boost Mobile just doesn’t work. Well, bummer. Sent a dollar using Apple Cash, from the same card.

Using Shortcuts, to open the app once a day, might fix the time issue on daylight savings.

Only 8 GB of RAM. That’s fine for Linux. But I don’t bother using my Mac mini M1 cause it only has 8 GB of RAM. Want to use some proprietary software? Well, it’s going to do a lot of swapping. Video editing, photo editing.

Probably could edit a photo with 8 GB of RAM in Linux though. Maybe do some small video editing too. I don’t know what I’m doing with photo or video editing, but the Mac mini doesn’t help me.

               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            31Gi       7.4Gi       2.0Gi       546Mi        22Gi        23Gi
Swap:           33Gi        27Mi        33Gi

That’s my old desktop. Never needed more then 32 GB of RAM. Still doing just fine. $600, should get at least 32 GB of RAM.

Well, not from Apple.

Rebooting the server might fix it, but not worth it. VirtualHere might work, but not paying $50.

I’d plug the RTLSDR’s in my desktop, but no USB 2.0 ports free. No idea what the two ports under the 2.0 ports are.

Well, guess I have to just stream it from the server. My script has issues, and don’t want to fix it.

Oh those two ports are HDMI and DisplayPort, so I guess with the right CPU, I could use those. Thought it was too ancient to have those.

Wonder how long openSUSE Tumbleweed will work on laptop, without freezing. Apparently I can’t enable adaptive sync, maybe that means it won’t freeze.

Or install GUI and Pipewire, and send from it directly, but seems like a pain in the ass.

So with Icecast, I might have to add every station. Not a good solution. Might as well fix my script. Or maybe USBIP doesn’t work because of script running. Broken script disabled.

This might work.

Now looking for a frequencies list.

And maybe use JavaScript to format it, so I can spend less manual work doing it. Or look for different site, that gives me a text file.

Or use the FCC site.

Damn it, have to make a script now.

So what, I have to run it more then once? How do I change the frequency? The code doesn’t make it obvious.

Hmm, it can only be tuned to one thing. And it needs a way to change it.

Good idea, make a shell script to do it.

/usr/bin/rtl_fm -d 1 -p 55.153 -g35 -f 105.7M -M wbfm -r 64k - | play -t raw -r 32k -es -b 16 -c 2 -V1 -

Installed Pipewire on the computer with the RTL SDRs connected. Now to make a script, to play the MHz sent to it. No more fucking around with HTTP, all I need is a simple shell script.

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
rfile = open("radio.txt", "r")
n = 0
for line in rfile:
    l = line.strip()
    fsp = l.find(' ')
    c = l[1:fsp]
    sp = l.find('|', fsp) + 1
    se = l.find(' ', sp)
    fm = l[sp:se]
    print('ch' + str(n) + ' =  ' + fm + ',FM,' + c)
    n = n + 1
rfile.close()

To convert FCC radio freqs to the Icecast thing’s config file. Not needed for me. No more USB IP crap either.

Replace 105.7 with $1, and then run ssh xxx@xxx ./radio.sh 105.7. Problem solved. Now to make a script for 105.7, since I got a bad memory. Or make a script, and list radio stations, then enter it.

There’s duplicates in my radio.txt or the output from script.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
cat ~/stations.txt
read -p "Enter radio station:" freq
ssh xxx@xxx ./radio.sh $freq

Nice and easy.

Don’t really need a script on the RTL SDR server.

Radio sounds worse now.

Just keep messing with the options, and it’ll sound funny.

To get 48Hz: /usr/bin/rtl_fm -d 1 -p 55.153 -g35 -f $1M -M wbfm -r 96k - | play -t raw -r 48k -es -b 16 -c 2 -V1 -

Don’t ask me, how that helps playing on headphones though.

Want an even better solution?

rtl_tcp -a IP -p 8181 -d 0

And put it in a service file. Use Gqrx.

rtl_tcp=192.168.2.41:8181,bias=0

I want Stereo FM, the rtl_fm_streamers don’t support the V4 RTL SDR Blog thing. And too lazy to figure out how to update librtlsdr.

Forgot I had that mouse. The Zowie mouse I have, was having an issue with the scroll wheel. Then it went away. Bought the Zowie in 2017.

This one has barely been used, was using it with a laptop most likely, but was probably a pain using it on a lap desk. Works fine using it on a desk though.

Uses triple A batteries, I think. And no need to plug the mouse in or set on a charger. Got plenty of rechargeable batteries. Having to remember to put the mouse on charger, would be a real pain.

Zowie’s out of my price range now. Their wireless ones are cheaper refurbished on eBay, but no removable batteries.

This one is even cheaper, was just sitting on a table.

Works with the USB switcher too, just click a button on mouse after switching. Using the 2.4GHz adapter. And that USB switcher has four USB ports, so I left the other mouse plugged in for now.

Bought the upgrade, had version 1 pro. Only $9. But then realized, should have made sure laptop is working first. Well, it should work with Steam Deck, there’s a Flatpak. Maybe only in desktop mode though, not sure. Wayland is experimental, didn’t know that either.

There’s probably a free thing to do it as well.

Well, get to test it anyways. Laptop seemed to be freezing because of AMDGPU. If it’s the driver, using openSUSE Tumbleweed could help. If I could disable the iGPU that could help too.

Might not be worth buying. Keep getting crap added to text files in Kate. Not sure if it’s Synergy or me though.

How about Input Leap? Free and might work better then Synergy. Only wasted $9. No clipboard sharing, not with Synergy either. If using Wayland. Is there a fork of it, that is more updated? Plenty of pull requests.

Maybe deskflow. Nice, no Flatpak needed either.

Where are the asshole pics somebody said you get after getting a colonoscopy? Or maybe I should say colon pics.

Well, the digestive place, requires a pin to login, which requires contacting them. Well, too lazy to do that.

If I want to see the inside of a colon, all I’d have to do is go to Wikipedia.

Trying to listen to a talk show on radio and do something else, doesn’t work right now for me. Then I just hear annoying sounds in the background.

Well, finally realized, I don’t have to keep turning receiver up and down. Make it loud enough for radio, then use software to make the volume less for my music. The MPD client has volume control. And volume control in KDE too. The Atari VCS sound card shows up just like a local sound card. All I need is Pipewire to do that.

Want to get distracted? Get a cat, bond with cat, leave for 16 days, then go back. Distracted from my mind, sure is nice.

Pink Floyd not loud enough.

Well, I could make a script to change volume when it switches to Pink Floyd.

Putting openSUSE Tumbleweed on laptop. If it freezes too, then the laptop hardware is bad, or it hates Linux. And I’ll be getting rid of laptop in that case. Don’t want Windows.

Woke up tired. Think my body just likes waking up at 8 AM as well. Got a sunrise sleep thing coming, possibly the cheapest one. It’s the iHome one, the cheapest one, that’s on sale for $25. Think it said it helps fall a sleep, and wake up. Better then $180 or whatever the Philips one costs. There’s a Hatch one, and to use all features, I’d have to subscribe. Have to subscribe to something to sleep better? No thanks.

Comfortably Numb, sang that in funny farm, while doing Karaoke.

Speaking of multitasking… Oh wait, that goes on a different domain.

Well, the only person that knows, who they like, is the person. How does one figure out who they like? Don’t ask me.

But I know what OCD and anxiety is now. All I had to do, was get near the flight or fight response. Don’t recommend it.

I do want to know something though, why can’t the doctor feel numbness on me? Pretty sure I asked somebody that at hospital. Or asked them something, and said they couldn’t feel numbness on me. Don’t know what I asked them though. I’m guessing something felt numb. No idea what.

Apparently in the funny farm, some people change their names. Either that, or I need to get my hearing checked. My ears do ring, which apparently means the fibers are damaged. What good will getting my hearing checked do? Hearing aids require batteries. Also, if my hearing is bad enough for hearing aids, that’s surprising.

They should have apartments in the hospital, that way, I wouldn’t have had to leave. And my insurance would get to pay for me to live there. Hmm, I wonder how much the bill was. Too lazy to look.

The butt doctor found the source of my bleeding. Well, they removed two of them, but they weren’t bleeding or bleeding recently. The one that was bleeding recently, is close to my stinky hole. Got to see another doctor to get that removed.

I do wonder, did they shave my ass? Cause it doesn’t feel the same. But now, I can’t tell if my pubes are the same either. Well, who got the privilege of shaving my ass? I was hoping, the attractive, lady, that pushed me to the procedure room did.

Well, they checked my stomach too. Said it was red, from heartburn. Woke up with heartburn today. Said to take the stronger heartburn medicine apparently. Might as well go all the way back, to when I was taking it two times a day. The hospital was giving me the weaker stuff twice a day.

Which isn’t what I was doing, I was taking one weak one, and one strong one. One in morning, and one at night. Don’t ask me if the hospital people asked me what medicine I take. I barely remember the ER part.

To get radio on receiver, I decided to do it the easy way. Re enable USBIP services on the computer the RTL things are plugged into, and then send it from desktop to the Atari VCS, using Pipewire. Got Pipewire configured to do that. The radio isn’t as loud as my music apparently. I don’t see the point in TV being turned on when listening to something.

Was trying to use SDRAngel in Podman. Too much work. Even if it can send to my desktop running SDRAngel, kind of pointless.

The USB hub must be failing, cause no issues since getting new one. The one before the last one did the same thing. Last brand Amazon Basics, previous brand possibly Plugable. This brand starts with a J.

Don’t ask me what that ladies name was either. I wasn’t paying attention. Also, my ears like ringing. And apparently that means the fibers are damaged. Hmm did I take my medicine yet? Well, not 8 PM yet. But it’s in a pill box. If it’s not in there, then yes.

Why take a nap after getting the scopes done? I was taking a nap. Then they made me leave. Then I woke up. And then I decided, to wait till later to sleep. I’d rather not fuck my sleeping up more. Also, then I can possibly go to bed earlier. Better then taking a “nap”. I like taking long naps.

Also, do they give me the same drug, when they remove the ass polyp? I don’t want anything stronger. Cause I’m too scared to be knocked out. But the stuff they gave me, works great, didn’t have to try to sleep. They said to take deep breaths, or a couple. Might have taken three. Then fell a sleep.

The laxative might be wearing off finally. The last dump wasn’t the same as the one before. The dump at the place, was clear and liquid. The one after I ate, was dark and liquid. The last one, was getting more solid.

Also, I shouldn’t have ate very much food. That hurt my stomach, two times. Ate some of it for lunch, then the rest of burrito for dinner. And there’s rice left.

Well, the drawing tablet, will have to wait till tomorrow. And it’s almost 8 PM.

My foot can fall a sleep again. So can my pinky. Didn’t notice that until whatever day it was at the funny farm.

Might need to shit yet again. How long can I hold it in?

I know what a lady’s ass feels like now. Somebody said a lady’s ass feels the same but with less hair. I think that means it feels the same but with a buzz cut.

Also, there’s something wrong with toilets at medical places, my ball sack was touching the top of the water again, after diarrhea came out. Why don’t they provide yellow ball sack nets?

Got to drink one more Gatorade before trying to sleep.

I was in the curtain room, waiting, and thinking, probably after they put the IV thing in. “Is it a good idea to trust anybody this much?”, probably cause the IV thing kind of hurt. Well, apparently, nothing bad happened, except that my ass might have gotten shaved.

Why do they need to shave my ass anyways? Maybe my asshole, but why the cheeks? I should have taken a photo before I the procedure. Then again, if I took a photo, I’d be able to tell if it’s shaved or not. If it wasn’t, well, my fingers might have issues. Well, the backside of my hands are all messed up. Guess if the other side is dry enough, it too, might not feel very much.

I went to the doctor for that once, said Eczema.

Is it still too early to go to bed?

When getting middle aged, you get to buy lots of cool toys. Like a scrub brush with a handle. Might even end up in the hospital, and get a fancy yellow bracelet and socks. Nothing like falling on my ass, and not remembering much about it.

I found out, I can talk to women, if I want to though. Only talked to the staff mostly. The one person I tried talking to, well, good luck. More distracted then me.

I missed the twerking in Karaoke, I wasn’t paying attention. I don’t know their gender identity, but they had facial hair. More then me. Shaved all mine off today. Easier to do with glasses on apparently.

Famous saying from funny farm “Please don’t do that with door open”. Noticed one person in the lounge, was looking towards the room that something was happening with the door open. Well, I ended up going to my room. I heard enough. And my anxiety went up.

I only sang Karaoke, cause people were singing with me. Always wanted to sing with at least one lady, anyways. Looks like I accomplished that.

Removable shower heads are nice. Even if leaving it on. Water shoots out even farther. The shower in funny farm, easy to hit head on the thing to change water temperature.

I remember at one funny farm, they gave me a dull razor to shave with. Didn’t get much of a shave. And she kept saying be careful, should have asked her to shave me. Well, speaking of, I should go to the Barbour Shop, and put my ass on the counter, and ask how much to shave it.

They might have had something that could have shaved my face at this funny farm, but I wanted to see how much hair was on my face. Not enough. How long does it take to grow a full beard? I wonder if my pubes grow faster. Got a electric razor, a Philips one. Guess I have to shave everyday or every other day. But it’s probably faster then shaving once a week.

Don’t forget, the sleep apnea machine.

And wet wipes too. Well, the hospital gives shitty ass paper for wiping. I did find out, nobody has to smear the shit all around their asshole though. “Gentle, pat, pat.”

I told the male nurse, I was relieved after taking a dump, and he said in a Russian ancient “I’m very happy for you”.

I thought only women didn’t want to talk about bowel movements.

One of the best books I’ve read, or am still reading, almost finished. Maybe it is the best book I’ve read.

Can be applied to all animals, and even humans.

I think my sister said the cat might hide for a couple days, and bug me for a day. She came out right after my mom left last night. And she’s in her cat bed now.

She’s in therapy mode as far as I’m concerned. Not really bugging me.

I was gone for 16 days, and she missed me. And I missed her.

Woke up 2 AM, all wobbly, had a snack, went back to bed. Well, she was rubbing up against me, and meowing a little. Paid attention to her, and then to myself, so I wouldn’t fall on my ass again. Fell once in hospital, got a fancy yellow bracelet and socks.

Damn it, might need a subwoofer now. Butt, I don’t wanna buy one. Oh yeah, Pawn Shop.

Need more We are Scientists too. Ahh YouToot is great. I knew how to download YouToot videos, before there were apps. Well, get the video, the audio can be extracted and put into an MP3.

Rii K06 Mini could work, but want the keyboard same size as the Anker, and a trackpad or touchpad.

Well, I’ve only been the person to tuxedo animals. Fine with me.

Hmm how long did Jeff say keyboard was? Like a foot maybe. So a good 12 inches, just the way she likes it.

So a little bigger then 12 inches with a touchpad.

Built in battery? Well, I guess it’s trash once battery dies.

Back to Logitech’s site, to look at dimensions of the keyboard they have.

14 inches, might fit just fine. Where’s the measuring thing? I also need to measure something else.

K400 Plus Wireless Touch Keyboard should work fine. Just measured it, a good 14 inches. And I forgot to measure something else.

Forgot I get money on two days.

Who is the cat meowing at? Cause she goes into my room and meows.

Phone was stuck in SOS after I got my phone back after 16 days in hospital. Well, a cellphone isn’t very useful without the cell service working. Had to toggle airplane mode to fix it.

Probably the iPhone or iOS, not the cell service.

Android isn’t great either. So looks like I’ll just have to toggle airplane mode randomly.

Want to fix it? You have to buy a new iPhone. New iPhones I assume have less iOS bugs, cause the old iPhones don’t support cell service.

Also, the built in Mail app sucks ass, if you use Gmail. So apparently to use my email, I have to use some other app. Don’t want the Gmail app. Spark worked before. So I guess Spark or something else.

Cool, XPPen drawing tablet, has a Linux driver, and app. Just installed it. Got to wait for the drawing tablet now. Wacom is too expensive. Best Buy guy said, basically only need more drawing surface. Well, XPPen is cheaper. And it was on sale, now it costs $260, I paid $190. has a screen I think too.

Some buttons might not work in Linux. But cheaper then Wacom. Do I have Krita installed? Nope.

Third party watches still suck on iOS, at least this Nothing one. Disconnects, and have to open the damn app to reconnect it. Probably because of iOS’s famous memory management. Still connected via Bluetooth. Have an Apple Watch, but won’t use it. The charger cable had a burn mark on it, no thanks. Recycling that Apple Watch.

Need to look for small USB keyboard for my Pi laptop. And some kind of sleep tracker. I think Anker makes some earbuds that do that. Music if I want it, as well. Or get a sleep tracker band.

Daniel Hall is a good singer, listened to in Funny Farm in group. Live music, well now I know I like it, or liked it. Maybe don’t like it anymore though. We Are Scientists is good too.

Not sure VLC is a good music player. Not sure how to rescan folder. Well, maybe just use mpd or whatever. Then the TV doesn’t need to be turned on.

USB keyboard, 2.4 GHz would work too. But needs to be small. And maybe have a touchpad too. Cause using the touch screen can be a pain, and to configure it, might be easier if I have a touchpad too. Works pretty good in KDE, but I need to change the resolution and/or driver. Was going to try going into a boot menu, good luck with Bluetooth.

Looking at Logitech’s site, cause can’t think of any other keyboard maker.

Logitech has one wireless keyboard, that uses a dongle, with a touchpad, but how big is it? Full size, might be too big. And I have a full size Logitech, and it’s probably too big.

Says the dimensions, how about full size or not? Don’t know dimensions of full size. So under specs, they should put full size or not. Must be full size, used the filter, and doesn’t show up. Well, Bluetooth + dongle they have too.

Logitech has nothing. Some of the ones for Pi are way too small.

Maybe there’s a standalone touchpad. That can be Bluetooth.

Damn, USB trackpads no longer stocked on Adafruit.

Does Bluetooth work when booting Pi? Most likely doesn’t. Would need to pair it somehow.

Watch worked fine on old firmware, and using GadgetBridge in Android. But under $200 Android phones aren’t worth using, and my iPhone is better.

There’s an iOS update. But it doesn’t say what bugs were fixed, or added. Well, I’ll have to wait a while to update it then.

Super slow when I got back after 16 days. And after logging in, all USB stuff reconnected.

Either USB hub, or a USB device, or the computer. Paid $40 at Staples for a USB 3.0 powered hub.

One drive may have an issue, WesternDick owns SanDick. I think it’s SanDick, it’s a GDrive. But WesternDick basically.

No real point in going to Best Buy, except to find out more about drawing tablets. And then order a non Wacom, on Amazon for a better price.

And a better gift, was the cat coming out right after my mom left. Well, I kind of have to ignore her a little. Like when she meows loudly. Wants more attention then my mom’s dogs wanted. She’s been in survival mode for 16 days. And apparently bonded to me more then I thought.

Well, might need to shit finally today. Then sleep.

Woke up early, taking a COVID test. Three people sick, including me. Possibly one dog sick as well. First thing, at home COVID test.

Negative, so I’ll be okay, and so will my mom, dad, and puppy, and cat.

Drink some more water, and then going back to sleep.

Still going to make a wooden box for it. They thought of using a poker set box thing for it, in the meantime. We will have more time to make the wooden box.

Don’t play poker myself, so didn’t even think of that myself. Only thing I thought of that might work, is some kind of Nintendo Switch case. But finding one in town, that is $30 or so less, and hard like the poker chip case, might be hard. Also, this thing is bigger probably as well.

He only wanted the chips, so we used the case for this. Needed to do it, so we know what to do with the wooden one.

The keyboard only has to be flipped over, when closing it. No tape or anything needed, for the stuff on the bottom. All fits in there perfectly. My battery doesn’t provide enough power, but that is an easy fix. And if using inside, I can plug it in as well.

The screen I used was a SunFounder 7 Inch Touchscreen for Pi 5, RPI 4,1024X600 IPS Display, USB HDMI Portable Mini Monitor, Upgraded 7in Touch Screen for RPI 4 Monitor with Stand and Dual Speakers.

The touch part works fine as far as I can tell. Came with a thing for the back, and can use it, without the Pi being attached to behind the screen. Benefits in keeping the Pi how it is. But benefits in doing the other way too. Even if the NVMe HAT, doesn’t fit with the back part, we could figure something out, if I don’t use the case for the wooden one.

Seeing this one, also helps, too, now we can see what we should do.

He used some rivets or something, to attach the plastic back thing to the case. Will do that with the wooden case too, most likely. He had the right rivets, didn’t need to buy much to use this.

The foam stuff I bought at Michaels. SOme stuff for the wooden one, can likely be bought there as well. Need hinges I think for that. The white thing by the screen is the foam stuff.

It had some kind of “foam” stuff in the bottom part, where the other stuff is. He removed the one it came with from the top. Will likely use more foam with the wooden one too. The wooden box, will require sanding, so will take some time.

The PSU for the Pi, is 45W. But, the voltage the PSU does is different. And the screen uses power as well, and it needs two USB ports. One for touch, and one for power. And HDMI for display. HDMI is nice, as I can hook other stuff up to it, if I want to. But they make small touch screen, that attach with a HAT too.

When I use it soon, I will test the speakers as well. The screen part works. That’s another reason I got this one, no seperate speakers, in case I want speakers.

Well, the PSU might be overkill for the Pi 5 itself. But, the screen likely uses power too. That battery is only 15W. Which isn’t enogh, but the voltage and amp might be enough. Might need at least 27W.

Was probably a CanaKit kit. Or maybe the Pi 5 needs 5 amps, which that battery isn’t.

Easy way to figure it out, without searching, use the power supply thing I have that says voltage and stuff.

Or go to the Raspberry Pi site, and it says 5V/5A, the official one is 27w.

Hmm, could put the Nintendo 64 in a box of some kind, and hook it up to a screen like that. I have a USB Type-C PSU for the 64. It uses under 20W, according to the bottom of Nintendo 64. Portable Nintendo 64. Don’t need touch screen part on it. Also, I think I hooked battery up wrong, might be able to plug it all into the screen. No problem, didn’t use the 3D printed case I bought, and might not. Kept it in case we use it.

The screen might only use 480mA. 30W might be enough then. Even 27W might be enough. Extra power can be helpful. The voltage is the same. And might not matter how anyone hooks it up.

Uses 5v as well. I have an Energizer USB battery. Looking on Best Buy’s site, to see if they have anything.

I knew the battery I have might not work. I can give it to somebody, since I probably won’t need it.

mophie - Powerstation 10,000mAh Power Bank (Gen 3) might work, does 30W.

Best Buy doesn’t seem to say the voltage, now to look at Staples. If they have one that could work, I can just go in there, and look at them. Best Buy is by it as well.

Wonder how many double A batteries, it takes to get 5v and 30W.

Got plenty of double A batteries.

Looks like a USB battery is going to be easier to find, going into a store. Pickups, I could do, but Best Buy might not actually have it. Might as well find it in a store, and then buy it. Or get the double A thing if that would even work.

Adafruit has stuff, but some stuff is out of stock. I’ll remember the other site that has that kind of stuff soon. Searching now, but Harbor Freight might have something too. Wrong kind of batteries. Maybe Batteries+.

Sparkfun might be it. Basically, buy a battery, and that stuff to “make” one. Can replace the battery if I need to. I know somebody, that likely can help me make a box for it. Michaels has plastic. 3D printers are right for some people. But, I prefer doing things this way. Also, I like how wood looks. But not needed for a battery box. I know somebody with a 3D printer, but I don’t want to stress them out. And more fun to make my own. Then I’ll know how. And I can talk to the person helping me.

6Ah is only 6000mAh. It’s under $50 on Sparkfun. Not the worst price. Would want at least two. Adafruit is cheaper, but I like buying from one place.

A RC car battery might work. Get a downbooster, and two batteries. Hobby Town is gone, but plenty of places online, besides Sparkfun.

Maybe not an RC car battery. Might cost more. But there’s a different hobby store. Might just go there when I can. If it’s open, there’s somebody to ask for help as well. Hmm does Batteries+ sell other things, like the converters or a downbooster?

USB battery or make my own? What is better, depends on the person. But I have a 300w power station. The wood is weighs more then this poker set case. And it would add some weight. But, I wouldn’t have to pay much. And I don’t have to put it in anything, plug AC adapter right into it.

Well, I can figure it out soon. Got to sleep soon. Better to talk to somebody about it, then just buy random stuff.

Got a library card, my old one expired long ago.

Now I can stream stuff for free.

But can I pay to watch more? Probably not.

Just need to find stuff on time. Did anyone prove we invented it yet? Other then somebody who has a near death experience and said God said we invented time.

It might exist, but we still could have invented it.

Well, if I search for time, I get results, but I’m too lazy to click each one. Too lazy to read anything on the streaming video site anyways. Also, too hard to read much anyways.

I’m gonna need some new eyes, that are wide open.

Maybe Greek Mythology is easier to find. Also, wondering if anyone can imagine something 100% out of thin air. If not, then I really wonder about Greek Mythology.

Well, I have enough personal experiences, to know time may have been invented, and makes no sense. And it would be funny, if a bunch of words had to be removed.

Also, why don’t we speak certain languages anymore? And was there a religion before the first known one we found?

Well, this Android phone sucks ass. I’ll go back to other phone eventually maybe. Might want a different service though. And one that doesn’t need an app to get an eSIM, cause I’m not putting any apps on it. I don’t really want a phone anymore, but good luck doing that.

Shouldn’t have to buy a Pixel phone either. Not a fan of giving Google money.

The Light Phones, might use Android, well, in that case, it’s way overpriced. And the $300 one, is now shipping in May. Was April before. What will it be in May? Well, I probably won’t look again. And the more expensive one, could get in March, but won’t pay that, for an Android phone. Or an iPhone.

Want an eINK display. But they might all basically be Android. But eINK has good battery life. And nice and slow like me.

Hmm, maybe I have brain damage, wouldn’t surprise me one bit. How do I get a new brain?

I came shooting out of my mom after all, and I hit my head on the ceiling too.

Or maybe I came out of the sun’s asshole, and hit my head on a tree.
