A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Yeah nowadays they’re like $100 for even the most basic unit
Raspberry Pi B+ on AdaFruit for $29.95
I agree with you that it sucks that the latest gen aren't $45 anymore, but they still make and sell a $30 computer. If anyone can do better I definitely want to know.
You can get a pi 5 with 1 GB of RAM for $42 at Micro Center still.
Woah for real??
See, how am I supposed to hear that and not think RPi is the GOAT? I don't know what else to say. That seems to be in a league of it's own to me.
Enterprise thin clients are cheaper and faster, though they use more power with x86/64 cpus
Where do people buy thin clients for cheap? Ebay?
Yep. I was just looking at a (dell) wyse 3040 and wyse 5070.
Waow I can get one of those for $50...
Yep. 3040 is soldered ram but 5070 has upgradable sodimm
Very important info thank you.
Pretty much.
A few years ago I got an hp t620 thin client with an older AMD embedded quad core cpu for like 25€. I ran my home server on that for a while until I upgraded to something bigger.
You can still get the same device for pretty much the same price. You can even upgrade storage and RAM fairly easily (and cheaply, since it’s DDR3 and m.2 SATA).
And if CPU-Monkey is to be believed, it has about the same CPU performance as a RasPi 4 and 4x the graphics performance.
