I've wanted something like this since the days of TinyPrinter, but I just can't justify thermal printing. I'd love to have either impact or laser, however.

I mostly want it for lists and recipes, but some other goodies would be fun, too.

I tested mine and it came out to around 65hrs w/ rockbox playing FLACs.

I've also got a Sansa Clip+ that is super small and great with Rockbox.

Sansa Clip+ was very close to audio player perfection as far as I'm concerned. Simple but functional, no frills, had exactly the features it needed, no less and no more, and at a very reasonable price. Rockbox made it better, but even without it was pretty darn good.

I don't recall what happened to mine (lost? broken? gave it to someone? don't recall), but I wish I had bought 20 of them when I could to last the rest of my life.

I had an RCA Lyra RD1021, it was almost the size of a matchbox. I’m still tempted to use it while running instead of a phone.

I can't imagine trying to use a phone to listen to music while running.

The Sansa Clip has physical buttons. I can operate it without having to look at it.`

I modded an 80gb iPod Video / 5G with the same iFlash quad (400gb+ right now with two slots free)

I felt like I never had to charge the thing, so I just let it run. It went for just over 60hrs and still had 5% to go.

Depending on the battery you use, it's between 40h to 60h playtime.

I successfully used the 2200mAh batteries from "thepartguru" on iPod classics with iFlash Quad. The advantage over the 3000mah ones is, that it still fits with a thin backplate.

You should also be aware, that putting more than 256GB into the device is considered as "unstable" depending on the content you use. Having more than 50000 tracks may lead to unexpected behaviour (random reboots, showing the wrong covers for items, etc.). Technically iFlash Quad supports up to 4TB microSD space, but in practise it just does not make any sense. I would not use more than 512GB - my most stable experience was 256GB.

The reboot loops are extra nasty, because once they happen, they do at random days of a week and if you don't use your iPod every day it fries your 2200mah battery after a few days of reboot loops... expensive experience ;)

its only a txt record, not hosting a node (etc)

Yes, but it may mean that many people may be buying domains for the first time, and then realising that that opens the door to self hosting many other services.

I mod a few subs (largest is just over half a million.) While they're relatively easy to mod, I really enjoyed not having to check a queue, not having to deal with a lot of whiners in modmail, and definitely not having to deal with trolls and spammers. Pretty nice.

I blew that time today on browsing through a Lemmy node, but for the next two days I'm going to focus that time elsewhere... maybe I'll make fresh pasta.

So basically not even a temporary hobby?

the Criterion release of The Passion of Joan of Arc has two great scores, too. Richard Einhorn's Voices of Light for the first and Adrian Utley (Portishead) and Will Gregory (Goldfrapp) for the second.

this is neat. It would be better with a monospace typeface so it doesn't jump around so much, though.

Tarantino's novelization was fantastic. He just released a piece of nonfiction with 'Cinema Speculation', which is definitely worth a read if you're into film and especially his films.

I'm with you. NFC is awesome. I use NFC around the house for basic automation (Hue etc) -- and it definitely should be more common.

I was in a restaurant the other night that had QR codes printed on NFC tags, mounted on the wall for each table. The process of pulling up the menu was effortless.

It looks pretty great, actually -- https://i.imgur.com/fxZz6f7.jpg (Base), https://i.imgur.com/2JAHnbe.jpg (Vivid Natural)

I tried it as well (edited my comment above), I like the Base Palette option better, it looks more realistic compared to Vivid Natural which looks like a WW2 movie filter with the brown atmosphere.
