Could #askfedi help me diagnose it?<br/><br/>Being a tiny NUC, I simply pocket it and carry it around, much like a laptop, between two places where I connect it to external peripherals. <br/><br/>In one of the locations, the usability is amazing. I get no weird segfaults, nothing breaks and it works (very) well thanks to the lightning-fast #AlpineLinux. And then, when the session is over, I power it down and carry it back to the other one.<br/><br/>On that other location, the experience is a nightmare. A few minutes after bootup, depending on the luck, everything fails on cue. Firefox blows up (&#34;Gah!&#34; errors), segfaults everywhere, and basically is downright useless from such unpredictability. It makes me want to tear my hair out.<br/><br/>And it&#39;s the SAME device. And it&#39;s not anything to do with the software or network I use (when it segfaults, it does even offline). No problems at all otherwise!<br/><br/>But here&#39;s the thing: I noticed this morning that, in the &#34;troubled location,&#34; the outlet I usually plug is actually coming out of a super saturated line. It&#39;s an extension coming from a big daisy chain mess all plugging back to the same wall outlet, which is feeding only low voltage DC equipment - but still, a lot of it. <br/><br/>So I have a hunch that it might be lack of power that is causing these problems. Like, I&#39;m using the right PSU that came with the device. The voltage is right (lest the thing not boot) but I guess the current is silently underfed, causing these weird errors. I plan to test back at a fresh outlet when I&#39;m back at that place. But could someone tell if this hunch has a valid basis? Thanks! 2026-06-15T01:51:10Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvwwdva9pwtm80ehlks990gyd02fxg96n5vgqgevkmlewpwey8dsszyrckvp7wa5l2gp6ghyjhfty9qxkq2g8syyr2x9qvrz9q6x0rsde3gvkjsek In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsv5m52cmwcau4het4ss8xvs62ceeshl2mhamettuzgtn98mvm6tsckv4r9g'>nevent1q…4r9g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>you know, as soon as I wrote that toot, I updated the system to 3.24 and almost on cue... it worked!<br/><br/>I think it must&#39;ve been something on the older versions I guess? 2026-06-12T14:02:55Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2nj78uvkgn37x7v5xuv8s8rlf0zar8qp3azc05g2y2cr8avr8v5szyrckvp7wa5l2gp6ghyjhfty9qxkq2g8syyr2x9qvrz9q6x0rsde3g29qud8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs99c8zhrl0d6yrs0sdcs04y7gupmgwpulzqssfvkgf9dh20ml97rcamxwm6'>nevent1q…xwm6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>wait, *how* did you get in-file manager sftp to work in Alpine?

Plain-text email (cuts the fluff away) with viewing of images built in, plugins for pretty much anything, including RSS feeds, etc. The setup is also super easy, through a wizard much like Thunderbird. Once set, you can copy the saved dotfiles and carry them over to other installs, too, allowing quick redeployment.<br/><br/>Claws itself is a fork of an older and even lighter client, #sylpheed, but I found that the latter does not work with all of my accounts. I encourage everyone to try it!<br/><br/><a href="https://www.claws-mail.org/">https://www.claws-mail.org/</a> 2026-04-11T08:27:36Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdrnkt2fx6clukk6adrg08hnknfr4zs9exqj39ak44nsq8yfvjqvszyrckvp7wa5l2gp6ghyjhfty9qxkq2g8syyr2x9qvrz9q6x0rsde3g99df8x In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8qyk5sm5dr63768sgqvd35upemtzzwe8z8da6uqkatea5k52wufqzct0th'>nevent1q…t0th</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>nice!!! <br/><br/>Man, I have an old Samsung phone around that could really be my first candidate to install it, but I&#39;m pretty afraid of bricking it [1]... how &#34;scary&#34; was it for you?

Nope, not anymore.<br/><br/>Instead, there are packages for everything, my architecture is treated as first-class, the performance is always high, and the more I learn about how to use it, the better my experience becomes. No other Linux or BSD met all of these points.<br/><br/>And to top it off? Booting up takes no more than 15-20 seconds. It&#39;s less than in my mom&#39;s Macbook Pro running Linux Mint!<br/><br/>Again, I can&#39;t praise the NetBSD team enough for such achievements. Thank you so much for your hard work that clearly shows that you dogfood your development!<br/><br/>#RunBSD #BSD 2025-08-12T04:02:22Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqgkm5g0z7jjtv9pakrxduryt68zuewqlvvrmtahmsg0ke3xjge6gzyrckvp7wa5l2gp6ghyjhfty9qxkq2g8syyr2x9qvrz9q6x0rsde3gddgf39 Ship of Theseus much? 😃#philosophy<br/> <img src="https://s3.c.im/media_attachments/files/114/786/569/308/763/370/original/14d9da1da9398d4e.jpg"> <br/> 2025-07-03T00:54:09Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsthe7lkezjdlze7mkfsq30jm08szlmsugwtj4gkk8ns8nwvmakqaqzyrckvp7wa5l2gp6ghyjhfty9qxkq2g8syyr2x9qvrz9q6x0rsde3gd8pn7p In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxtfq22s8r0x0yh5w8enplhcr8a36xjk7seeh9dp50w0tepzp9x8qazr74e'>nevent1q…r74e</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>not subscribing to any streaming services. <br/><br/>&#34;But what do you do all day?!&#34; 2025-05-13T19:44:38Z
