This is a fun (but expensive) project: A cheap M1 mac would smoke it but you know…And the M1 mac can’t run linux. Looks like a fun project but a total waste of space and money. It’s one of those “let’s put a v8 in a dodge omni” kind of “what if” things. Incidentally, my… Continue reading 4 Raspberry Pis on a mini ITX board; The Turing Pi 2

OBS Studio on Raspberry Pi 4

My64 – mini ITX system in a *new* c64 case
This is a project that I definitely WILL do early next year: I thought the whole setup was great except for one annoying thing: I don’t like cables coming out the sides of anything.
