A few months ago, I scored a fully working Apple PowerMac G4 Cube on eBay. My original plan was to convert it into a working computer by swapping the guts for a Raspberry Pi 4. After getting the initial build working, I wasn't particularly happy with the performance for a desktop, so I decided to look elsewhere.
Last week, thanks to a friend, I was able to purchase a Dell Wyse thin client labeled as a refurbished computer for around $100. It has a Pentium Silver J5005 inside, 8 GB of RAM, and a tiny built in flash storage.
I cracked it open, stripped it down, and sure enough the motherboard is the perfect size to pressure fit carefully inside the G4 Cube chassis. Result!
Next, I added a 250 GB Samsung EVO SSD, and installed Ubuntu Linux on it. I am using a little USB switcher so I can share keyboard and mouse with my M1 MacBook Pro, and it works wonderfully hooked up to a 4K monitor.
Next up, I need to clean the interior a bit, so some cable management, and find a way to integrate the power button.
What a fun project this has been so far!

We cook fish often but this is the first time I’ve spotted a parasitic worm in it. Tiny. But it’s fresh fish so the parasite is very much alive.
On a scale of “meh” to “not eating that no matter how completely it’s cooked” where do you stand?

MTG trying to govern like she's the Treasurer of the Student Council in high school. I really do wonder what future historians are going to name this period in American politics.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene just introduced a bill that would “reduce Dr. Fauci’s salary to $0 until a new NIAID administrator is confirmed by the Senate.”

Yo. Does anyone know of an API that I can use to get my credit score? I know it’s weird and credit scores are a tool of oppression (literally three years older than me - a bullshit metric) but because capitalism is a virus, I need to track it.
