Hi, Hibby.
I was new once, but I'm old now :-)
I'll be in, fiddling with my Pinebook Pro and wondering if it's worth
the effort...
Bye,
Tony.

I plan to swing by, it might be 9ish by the time I get on - down at Mum's this weekend.
Tom said he might get on later but he's got a whisky tasing first - what a difficult life!

Hey all,
I just got myself a windows desktop machine to connect to the CNC router
of Ebay, for a bargain.
Unfortunately the graphics card is underpowered and I am looking for a
small form factor graphics card to fit in the case, size 17cm by 8cm (or
there abouts). Has anyone got any old cards lingering about, gathering
dust and that are looking for a new home. I will happily take it if its
PCI express 2 or 3 and can return the favour with some Belgian beers.
Cheerio,
Wouter

Hi,
I was new, a long time ago, but I'm old now ;-)
> I'll be in, likely drinking mate and wondering why the Raspberry Pi I set up isn't setting the default gateway to be the space network but the local port it's got a static IP on. I'll probably clean my bike brakes too.
You can't trust those RPi's because of their proprietary blobs :-(
See you later!
Tony.
