I just got a screaming deal on a Asus Eee PC (701 non-Surf model) so I'm heading back to 32-bit land!

Anyone have recommendations for a 32-bit lightweight Linux OS? These originally came with Xandros which is now defunct, and I'm looking at alternatives. Needs to be very lightweight, since I have a 630MHz CPU and 512MB of RAM to play with (and a 4GB SSD). I also only have a 800x480 display panel, so not much screen real estate.

My default for older computers (antiX) is still too heavy for this machine. I was looking at DSL, Void Linux, or Q4OS, but I haven't tried any of those options before. I'd love suggestions!

I store a lot of photos for professional purposes (85Gb currently), but I hate Google Photos. What alternatives would people recommend? EU and UK options, please!

Needs:
- To be visual (like Photos or Flickr)
- Not rely on file names (mine are nonsense and I’m not renaming thousands of photos)
- Must allow tagging (or albums of that fails)
- Cloud based

I can pay a small yearly amount for this as a business expense but nothing crazy as I’m not good at capitalism.

Sockpuppet: Blog: Transgender Day of Visibility https://sockpuppet.band/blog/1010-Transgender-Day-of-Visibility #Recommendations #Transgender #LGBTQIA #Music #Trans #Blog

Just a few banners I've made to put at the end of my videos with heavy filters and some #photo #editing done to make them look more vintage or film-like, using my own #photography too.

I already have the film/old vibe going with my videos, which I do as both artistic expression, and because I can save storage as the lower-res and frame rate goes well with the overall vibe.

Still learning photo editing, I use Lumii Photo Editor ATM as it's easily accessible as I learn.

So WhatsApp adding #Meta AI as standard in the search bar and making it impossible to disable might be the final nudge I need to finally get over the inconvenience of moving to a different platform and ditch Meta altogether. Any #recommendations for an IM app (android compatible) that won't force GenAI sludge down my throat, won't sell my data, and ideally isn't owned by a fascist? Thanks in advance.

Dear Hive Mind
I am in the market for new or refurb MacBook Air. I really want it under $CAD1500. The goal is longevity (5-7yrs) for use as a standard word processor/internet/media consumption device.

I am currently leaning toward these options. I'd be interested in what you would recommend.

This is an upgrade from an Intel based Air with 8GB/128GB which has been maxed out on storage for a couple years now.

Five Books: The Best Books On Everything

We ask experts to recommend the five best books in their subject and explain their selection in an interview.

This site has an archive of more than one thousand seven hundred interviews or eight thousand book recommendations. We publish at least two new interviews per week.

Last Seen Online is a nice (free) small horror themed puzzle game by @qwook.bsky.social, reminiscent of A Normal Lost Phone or Emily Is Away.

About 20mn of play time, and some nice trip down memory lane if you were a teenager using Windows XP and MSN during the 2000's.

(Thanks to #WeirdFuckingGames for bringing it to my attention)

I am looking for a non electron-based REST client, so no Postman, Insomnia or Bruno. I may go with a vscode extension but since I want to ditch vscode, I would like to try something else. Who tried Yaak? Is it any good? Beside CLI apps HTTPie and xh, is there a good TUI?

A boost a day, keep hungry apps aways.

I'm looking for #recommendations for a UK-based #domain #registrar.

Requirements:
- MFA auth
- be a UK entity
- VAT invoices

Anti-requirements:
- not be Beasts (as I already like+use them, and the purpose of this change is to decouple my hosting+DNS-provider from my registrar)
- not be PF (I sincerely hope that TB-at-PF is doing ok, but their lack of responsiveness on a recent issue has made me conclude that relying on a 1-man-band for domain regs isn't sensible)

I want to improve my #German skills at some point. TV shows and movies motivate me a lot. So does anyone have any #recommendations of decent shows, movies or YouTubers to watch?

I'm also open to more TV shows, movies and podcasts in #Spanish too since I'm at a stage where I don't have to look up as many words as I used to and it's really really enjoyable to be at the stage where I can just enjoy things.

( I'm open to all genres except for excessive or realistic gore. Cartoon-y gore is fine e.g. Invincible on Amazon Prime. )

I need an eReader, and looking for suggestions for what I should get. Currently I have an old kindle paperwhite that I would like to discontinue using because Amazon is uuuuh, not good. Not good at all. But using actual books are too heavy for me and causes my joints to sublaxte while I'm reading. So I need an eReader so im able to still read as much as I want without causing injury to myself.
