Got mine for circa $7 a few years back. Absolutely best tiny computer I ever had. It sips power, and is rock stable for me. Only one issue: it doesn’t reboot for some reason, it shutdowns. I can tolerate that for $7. Apart from that, I’m very happy with that tiny beast. Got three of them. And at that price, I’d buy 10 more and give them for free for friends, already setup with some services. I just hope they’d go really cheap at some point, once the bubble bursts or something.

Same here.

I’m blocked too. Wasn’t sure what you are talking about, but found the blog in the profile. I’m from my iPhone. I wonder which country they do not block.

The comment you replied to is ‘how to say you don’t know or understand what Omarchy is, without saying it’

In other words, they lost me there too.

Have you tried Mac Ports?

I noticed that too, but for me there’s no point in basic model. As usually used Pros are better at their value at the same price point. Perhaps they decided to focus on premium tier, while everyone else would manage somehow. Or they would introduce regular models quietly later.

My bet is that is heavily vibe coded abandonware.

I’m super excited about any open source OS there is, but in all honesty, I see very little value for a desktop system like that. Linux is plenty good and apps ecosystem is slowly coming into a really great state. I’d love to see FreeBSD being there too, and basically you need nothing different from that.

Just to clarify, did you mean ‘exciting’ by

> Is Darwin really all the exiting?

I’ve tried to reread your question, and couldn’t get the sense, before I thought maybe that’s an autocorrection / misprint.

And mine is as fast as I need, with Sway as my main DE. (With Arch Linux, but I bet Fedora wouldn’t be any worse.) The only reason to switch to M{1,2,3} is battery life. So, as soon as the external Thunderbolt display is going to work, I think I’m making the switch.

Sounds like a Linux architecture, innit?

If that’s an Electron app, what’s the difference with running it in the browser?

That kept me away from the rewrite, but actually you can just throw a bin onto your server. At least for all my servers, I can do that. Migrating to Go helped me clean like hundreds of scripts into just a handful (tens) of slightly more complex, but unified programs with shared logic. I kept sticking to bash, not realising the complexity grew up already, and having a pile of simple scripts isn’t as simple as I thought. Go solved this beautifully, all the scripts were rewritten within just a month (with Claude assistance, but I’ve been checking on the code, it was OK), and now I can maintain them with less mental overhead.

Most of the time I use go build, or precisely make install with custom Makefile. For the one-time ad-hoc tools (vibe coded, by the way), I may use go run. My point is use the simplest tool, if it’s a little bit more complex than a few lines, it’s better in Go than bash. Here, I rather mean it’s better in any real programming language. Just… well, Go is really simple and with some GPT assistance you may be just one prompt and a minute away from automating some routine tasks. I try to automate as much as I can notice. E.g. I have a special script (now program) which moves files and directories from one location (synced documents) to another (archive on a disk). This is just a very simple operation, but doing it automatically feels very different. I’d highly recommend on trying something similar. Previously, I thought bash is good enough for this (and it is!), but Go is just better for me personally. And bonus thing, it works much faster.

Been doing bash scripting for years. Tried Go recently, on my, it’s so much better for everything OS scripting. I regret I haven’t started with Go years ago. All my scripts are rewritten to Go. I kept only a handful, those that are just a few lines and no logic.
