  • I'm probably going to get a used HDD and connect it with an adapter over USB. A NAS would be way more expensive.

  • Actually, I found the Firebat T8 Pro Plus, which has an Intel N100, 16gb LPDDR5 RAM and a 512gb M.2 SSD. It's more than 5 times faster than the Pi, has AV1 decoding and a power draw of 27W (not TDP, this number is from independent tests). It goes for 146€ on Aliexpress. It's a little more than 100€ but for what I'm getting here, I think it's worth it.

  • Interesting. I guess security wasn't that good by default back then, firewalls are now set up by default on pretty much every server distro.

  • Interesting how North America doesn't have any shipments on the charts from Chinese companies. I know the US banned Huawei but not the others, right?

  • For addons you need to install HACS

  • I can also buy an adapter and plug the drive in over USB. It would be nicer if it fit inside but it's not that important.

  • Just looked around and there are mini PCs for around 130€ with Intel N100 CPUs, which have a 6W TDP, AV1 decoding and they beat an i5 6500T (that one's in a 130€ Dell Optiplex I found on ebay) in single core and gets close enough in multicore. Is there some kind of catch I'm not seeing with that CPU? Because it looks perfect for my use case.

  • Cause everything on your screen is super small, are you using a tablet or something?

  • KDE's system monitor is absolutely great, I kinda missed it when switching to GNOME because their default system monitor is very lackluster. I'm now using Mission Center instead tho, which is great! It's basically an almost 1:1 copy of the Windows Task Manager but I think that's a good thing, Task Manager is one of the few things about Windows that are actually really good IMO.

  • Okay hear me out: Built-in dick measuring using the cameras. That would be a killer feature.

  • Those aren't Android 12 issues tho, they're issues with the specific ROM Oneplus made

  • I'm not into that at all (tbh I find feet kinda disgusting) but I've never seen it as something really weird because it really isn't that weird.

  • I actually use a dynamic IP and it works pretty well for me, I don't remember having any issues because of that. Also, what happened after those two weeks to your server and how? I've been running my things for over 3 years and I haven't done anything special in terms of security.

  • We use Grocy, specifically with the Android app. We only use the shopping list feature but it can do a lot more.

  • Not gonna be able to afford that as a first car but I think that's a reasonable price. Hopefully I'll be able to buy an EV like that after a few years of working. Would be cool if there was an EV I could afford as a first car tho but the used market is probably just not there yet.

  • If you want to make changes like that, you tell each state they're supposed to e.g. upgrade everyone to fiber and then the local government of each state handles it. I thought that was the whole point of having those states.

  • It's pretty normal here that you're not allowed to use your phone in class. I think that's the case in every school here.

  • The issue is how the US is spending tax money then and not the population

  • True but the issue is that your government isn't doing anything about it. They could e.g. require every gas station to have an electric charger (Will be the case soon in Germany)

  • I don't know what AI could bring to the table in this case that you can't do without it already. Command completions or fixing typos works without using AI. If there was an actual benefit, I'd be open to try it out but only by using an open source LLM running locally. I'm definitely not creating an account and paying a monthly subscription while not even being able to use it offline.
