Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.

Neighbor it's $80. That's like the price of a meal at a good restaurant.

It's still pretty expensive if you're just doing some low-level shit with the I/O pins.
That being said don't they still sell the RPi 0 or whatever for like $10?

It's not intended for that, it's a fairly high power piece of hardware. For shit like that you'd use an attiny or an arudino.
Shit there's even an embedded microcontroller now that will 'natively' run JAVASCRIPT which is kinda an insane concept
A RPI is even overkill for stuff like digital signage or displayboards. They make quite viable desktops.

Yeah but you need a dedicated programmer thingy for these, don't you? It's not like an attiny has a USB or Ethernet port that you can program. So yeah you can use it for low-level stuff but there's a much, much steeper learning curve and the support hardware is gonna cost WAY more than $80.
Yeah this is probably a good use case for them. But probably not quite as good as a smaller RPi.
The use case here is being able to just plug it in, SSH in, "apt-get install python3.11" and off you go. Obviously this is still overkill for that, but your other suggestions don't really fit the mold.

There are some microcontroller-based boards that come with USB, I have one somewhere that I was using to make a custom input peripheral for DCSworld. The chip is an Atmel Mega32, I dunno what the board is, it's some sort of knockoff/reinvention/inspired-by thing. I didn't get very far.
There is a tendency these days for people to use much more compute than they really need which I dislike as it's just attack surfaces as far as the eye can see. I understand that dev on a true embedded system is much more complex than python on a rpi but still, ugh. Part of the fun is learning to work with limitations. Low level code is more satisfying as well, as if something isn't working right it's much more likely to be _your_ bug than some weird bug in whatever interpreter you're using or a bug that evolves over time as the system updates.

This is the exact opposite of my embedded dev experience. If my Python script has a bug, it's probably not an issue with the hardware, or a bug in CPython, it's probably a bug in my own code. Meanwhile I've had plenty of issues during embedded development that wind up being some weird quirk of the board or microcontroller. Not to mention that debugging a microcontroller is a massive PITA - conditional breakpoints for example wind up causing all sorts of trouble.

Yeah the debugging is a pain, it depends if you have any experience with electronic circuit design. The bugs you run into do tend to be more physical stuff to do with capacitance and output impedance, in my experience.
It's because you're bridging that gap between the 'perfect' digital world and the real world of the actually-analogue behaviour of digital circuits.
