4 days agoI 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 :')

0·25 days agoIn case you’re doubting about doing it: do it. It’s fine.
But don’t make the mistakes I made :')
- don’t “recycle” an old microSD with osmc or some other system still on it. Start from scratch.
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 !!!
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?

0·2 months agoThanks! Do you think I’ld be good with this for example:
I9 13900h. On paper it beats the bit more expensive ryzen 9 6900hx version by about 10 % in single thread.
Tho the difference in default clock speed is in favor of the ryzen?

0·3 months agoeven the little bits of grass around the peaks in foreground could actually be used. I’m amazed how risky cows behaviour is regarding to the abyss, and goats somehow are just completely not afraid of heights at all and hop around on 400 meter cliffs like a walk in the park. So you can grow food (meat+milk) on mountain sides during summer
thanks for the links!
Exactly what I’m looking for! I’ld like back sleeping but with a slightly tilted, side supported head. Lean head all the way = neck pain. Head straight = can’t fall asleep. I’ve tried stuff with backsleeping+ side support for leaning the head, but the extra pillow on the head side isn’t strong enough (doesn’t last) and it all gets too hot around the head.
0·4 months agoYou are right. The obvious conspiracy theory would be that it wasn’t barely not hitting at all. Guy on the roof shot into the crowd and a movie blood pouch popped at trumps ear.
What are the best close-up pictures of his ear? https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/dbc3/live/6e2bf430-4178-11ef-96a8-e710c6bfc866.jpg https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/cpsprodpb/c4e6/live/55011100-417f-11ef-b74c-bb483a802c97.jpg
Shooter missing this makes me wonder what a technically awesome shot the Kennedy assassination must have been.
I would not be surprised if it’s a false flag attack by trump himself.
I don’t know at all, i’m just wild guessing. But it wouldn’t surprise me, it’s in the extremist politician’s playbook. Mostly because I’m surprised from this distance they didn’t succeed.
but they might be worth a lot in 30 years if you take good care of them!
0·4 months agoyou make me think i might, who knows. It looks and feels as a half-blocked element by something tho. The lay-over pop-up thing is getting thru, it’s content is not. Now I found out that I can “click” some of the whiteness (turns into a hand), but don’t know what I’ld be agreeing to.
First there’s this: which the only option is “review options”. There is no “close it for now” or whatever. It’s not a choice but a command.
Some Google services are not linked Choose whether to share your data across YouTube and other Google services
Review choices
If clicking the review choices, I get a blank window with some “ghost elements” and when I inspect some of these it for example says “yes, link”. But I’ld rather not. Tried turning off all my extensions and refreshing but that still didn’t render it readable to me.
Yeah i used to do that. Then i got hooked by how easy it became to just stream all the time. Local made me feel like i got stuck on the same music after a while a bit too much, and getting new music required effort. I became lazy.
I honestly don’t care if it’s a user issue or a platform issue. It’s annoying af.
Yes, EU, they probably have to. Thing is i can’t see a thing on that pop-up, something somewhere is blocking it. Turned off ublock, still not showing, turned off i don’t care about cookies, still shows nothing. So it’s a white, empty pop-up on which i can’t click a thing and can’t get beyond it.
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!
