Especially the HDMI and jack are just silly to drop.

Excellent times to rewatch Threads (1984)
Things are very different this time around. They have a lot more power and are a lot more prepared. Trump isn’t capable, the gang around him definitely is.
Chances are many are still working. They’re combining eating with socialising with peers in the hundreds of bars and restaurants and discussing many things, including work related stuff… which is a lot healthier than always eating alone at your desk.
They’ll only have the “medicinal” tea if even more Lüften didn’t do the trick
Only in a two-party system. Locked in a two party system is the death of it. At least introduce multiple rounds, to democratically elect the 2 contestants for the final round…
Of all possible next targets he could choose, Finland , Norway or Sweden would be the dumbest ever. These countries are prepared, always have been. It would be fucking hard, even without NATO. The next targets would more likely be other not well affiliated countries like Moldova, Georgia. Then Baltics.
can you cite a source on the spies dying a few days after he met Putin? Not saying it’s not true, just curious.
The people you meet while travelling are not the average people. The average American never travels to another state, let alone to other continents… Same is true for many people in many countries: Asians visiting Europe are top % of population in wealth and brains. It’s dissapointing and depressing but fox probably gives you a more true picture of average Americans than Americans you meet while travelling.
Even if you’ld wait until rain stops and even if you don’t go off road: there’s puddles on bike paths after it has rained!
German homes are relatively okay insulated. Very remote: burn wood or some sort of wood pellet stuff. Not clean, but it is local and renewable. Less remote: heat pumps, runs on electricity. Cities: many are planning/extending heat nets, those can be partially powered by left over heat from industry. And import nuclear electricity from France in winter I guess!
I agree but not on the debt free part. Mortgage loan at 1,45%, savings rate at 2,4 %: I’ll not try to get out of that debt sooner than planned, thank you very much :')
Newpipe breaks very often for me. Freetube breaks less
In case you’re doubting about doing it: do it. It’s fine.
But don’t make the mistakes I made :')
In fact, I bought a new SD card. 32 GB costs a ridiculous 7 €. It’s worth not taking the risk with some old one that’s possibly been flashed many times before. I’m quite sure some blocks on the one i was using previous were corrupted.
don’t use raspbian, osmc, debian, … Use DIETPI. Possibly raspbian lite. It’s the absolute minimal system you can get, with a focus on home-servering whatever you want on a rpi. This is the way. It’s disabling sending power to whatever is on there that you’ll never be using anyhow. Including the option to fully disable local hdmi output, absolutely no local audio-out support, etc. Squeezing all these little ones for sure pays off on a rpi 3 or older.
video streaming works fine! Better than local video playing used to be with the osmc/kodi install years ago on the exact same pi. Mkv HVEC H264 at 4.4 Mbps with AC3 sound 384 Kbps: plays smooth in browser. Sure, it’s not what you want if you’re doing the ultrahd 4K i don’t know what, but is good enough for me.
invest in the silly cooling accessories. It is worth it. Putting a tiny deskfan on the pi within a minute drops temperature 15-20 °C, while libraryscanning + videostreaming… Glue the cooling elements (1 € or even less) on the chips, buy the tiny fan or a case with fan built in. It’s another 6-12 € that is more than worth it.
stay away from HDD. They eat lots of energy. SSD is worth it. Even if HDD has external power source: they are slow as fuck, takes a while for disks to start spinning. They’re still usefull, as back-up. Another reason to go the DIETPI-way: the back-up disk / live disk shit is easy peasy built in there! No messing around searching how to set that up. Same with (auto-)mounting drives in general by the way.
The only downside so far: the Nordvpn-meshnet approach for remote access was a bit more annoying. It’s not integrated in the dietpi-vpn (or not yet). So you gotta install nordvpn seperately and make that work.
TL;DR: DIETPI !!!
It’s on the SD. It has gotten better tho. I’m guessing things were perhaps still being sorted in background.
I will try that in a few days ;)
I’m assuming it will be okay-ish, as long as its 720p or lower and not super compressed and only 1 client connected. Ordered a tiny 3.3V rpi fan, it might help. Or make things worse as it drains some power, who knows.
Used to have kodi on this rpi for a few years, until about 4 years ago. Only local tho, not as server. It struggled hard with playing HVEC. Visibly (annoyingly) lagging. Older filetypes worked very fine.
If it sucks, I can still use it as server remote through vpn, download something, play locally.
Only music jellyfin has somewhat stabilised now. Got 48h without crashing! Think internet connection somehow gets stuck sometimes. Quite certain it’s not a RAM, not a temp and not a SSD issue. Gonna put a cron script to regularly check connection, if down to long, reboot. That might “fix” it well enough to be usable longterm, local+remote.
Got it going remote too, can listen to my jellyfin on any network now, with the Nordvpn meshnet it’s really easy to set up and presumably that’s secure too.
It’s particularly during search that it appears to “hang” for 20-30 seconds
Server is Raspberry pi 3 B with 1TB SSD.
Rpi temp idle is ~49°C, gets to about ~65° when being queried, etc. ~75° during initial library scan
Was a osmc install (which as I understand is a minimalist debian ?), installed jellyfin, disabled mediacenter (kodi) on boot. It’s all on home wifi still… Only about 1700 albums of music and audiobooks, no movies no series. Perhaps the wifi chip in rpi isn’t good enough?
How often do cults end in mass suicide?
There’s really great deals on 2nd hand computers because of win11 tho…
