sylverstream,

We have to start somewhere! I find this very encouraging news.

sylverstream,

I’ve got a CCWGTV and can’t be happier. Replaced the default launcher with Stremio, Streamtube and Kodi prominent at the top.

Positive news links

I would like to follow other positive news groups on other servers. Is there any chance someone could do what this person suggested? “solarbird Something I do running a small instance is have a Librarian account which follows large numbers of people for the purposes of discovery. We have under 20 users but our Federation feed...

sylverstream,

Spaghetti in tomato sauce on pizza. NZ thing, our youngest loves it.

Sorry if this is covered somewhere but I couldn't find it! I need recommendations on a good starter NAS

Title says pretty much all there is. Im just getting started in this and don’t want to go too crazy. Im willing to go as high as $250 right now which, when i look around, i know isn’t gonna get me anything absolutely amazing but hey back off im an instacart driver lol

sylverstream,

I’ve got a QNAP. Relatively happy with it, as it’s easier to manage than DIY, but it’s hard to migrate to a different brand as the RAID implementation is proprietary, so can’t just plug the disks in a different brand. First NAS lasted about 7 years until it was too slow, new one is about 5 years and still going strong.

DIY gives you more flexibility, but also more maintenance.

Which music streaming app should I use?

I really liked Spotify, but when they started subsidizing hate speech I left. For the last year, I keep trying different platforms and cannot find anything that works well. I am ok with spending money for no ads. I have very diverse music tastes so want to have different “stations” based on my mood. Any suggestions?

sylverstream,

Tried many, but stuck with Deezer as it has got excellent pod cast support.

Had many issues with offline support with Spotify, and their support was horrible.

Newbie tech (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

This is probably a ridiculous question, but I usually stream from my laptop to my LG tv or my phone to any other tv, and I find that using my VPN keeps the casting output option from working. Like in Popcorntime, the Watch Now doesn’t show my tv, only the laptop app or VLC. On my daughter’s fire stick I can’t even cast to...

sylverstream,

Why not use Stremio with Realdebrid, then you don’t need a vpn :)

sylverstream,

Via RD it won’t use torrents. It will download it directly from their servers. RD isn’t free though, couple of euros per month.

sylverstream,

This community is called uplifting news… Let’s just celebrate positive news.

sylverstream,

That’s awesome! Here in NZ they should do that too!

Agreed that batteries are not the end goal, but it’s at least much better than ICE.

Running immich, HA and Frigate on a RPi4 with Coral or on a HP Prodesk 700 g4 (Intel 8th gen)

Currently I’ve got a RPi4 without Coral, running Frigate with 2 cams, HA, Paperless, Photoview and Qbittorrent. This works well but maxes out the RPi4. As I want to add Immich and more cams, I have to upgrade. Budget allows for either a USB Coral with the existing RPi4 or buy a secondhand HP Prodesk 600 g4 with Intel 8th gen....

sylverstream,

Thanks for the insights. I’m planning to import about 1.2Tb of photos… So RAM is most important? What about Intel gen? I’ve compared 4th and 8th gen in terms of cpu speed and 4th still scores well. Depends of course on exact cpu. 4th gen can be bought here for about a 5th of the price of an 8th…

sylverstream,

Thanks for your reply! So that is a 3rd gen Intel chip if I kagi’d correctly? I was planning to get a 8th gen or later. Not sure though if it’s worth it, I’m not too familiar with the differences between all generations.

sylverstream,

Interesting re the wifi chip, as all posts I’ve found said it only works for a wifi card. Do you have a source for that?

Yeah, no wifi is no problem. It’ll be connected via cable

sylverstream,

Okay thanks!

sylverstream,

Thanks for your insights. Thought about a NUC as well, but AFAIK it doesn’t have pcie slots? So I won’t be able to install eg a graphics card or pcie coral?

sylverstream,

3470 means 3rd gen. The first number is the generation. Good to know that also works.

sylverstream,

Okay thanks!

sylverstream,

Thanks, HP it will be. When comparing Intel gens, there isn’t a massive difference between 4th and 8th gen, except the openvino detection which only works on 8th. But I can get a 4th gen for 25% of the price of a 8th gen.
