Second hand on Ebay, I'm located in Europe.

marcomouraoon At last, the Raspberry Pi shortage is finally coming to an end

Excellent news. I just bought a Fujitsu thin client for €18.00 to scratch the Raspberry itch but will definitely try to get my hands on a Pi 4.

I love omg.lol. Brings me back to the simpler times of the internet.

As a mediocre developer at best, I love PUG but I'm a bit afraid about the lack of updates.

marcomouraoon Ask HN: How do you have fun?

Yes, I'm aware of the "tennis ball" solution. I'm currently experimenting with washing machine anti-vibration mats, I don't need to assemble any materials to use these, but if they don't work, the tennis ball platform will be the next step. And if that still is not enough I will have to try Sylomer[0]

marcomouraoon Ask HN: How do you have fun?

The problem still persists with electric drums which is the kick drum pedal essentially banging on the floor. The neighbours cant hear the drum sound but hear the vibrations travelling through the floor/walls.

marcomouraoon Ask HN: How do you have fun?

I started drumming at 41. I already play guitar (in a band even) but I always wanted to be a drummer. Unfortunately drums are a loud and cumbersome instrument and living in an apartment makes it very difficult to practice.

I started with a 'DW "Go Anywhere" Practice Kit' and I added a cheap "Millenium Still Series Cymbal Set".

It's not a loud setup but preventing the kick drum vibrations to annoy my neighbours has also been a challenge so I guess I also have fun experimenting with that.

English is not my first language, sorry if I sound weird.

marcomouraoon “Zero fucks given” in other languages

Some expressions used in European Portuguese:

- "Caguei e andei." (I shat and walked)

- "É igual ao litro" (It's equal to the litre)

- "É para o lado que durmo melhor" (It's the side that I sleep best)
