Just think of your point that they are using residential IP addresses. How do they get these addresses?

You can ping all of the ipv4 addresses in under an hour. If all you’re looking for is publicly available words written by people, you only have to poke port 80 and then suddenly you have practically every possible small self-hosted website out there.

I have the previous model. It does a great job of playing videos from my server in the other room. It technically can do YouTube, but that’s a pretty horrible experience. It can’t do any other paid streaming services.

But it does do an amazing job of local streaming. It handles most all of the audio and video codecs, and can direct stream just about any video file without too much playing around. I like mine, and definitely recommend it for anyone who also wants a trustworthy local media player.

what physical media?

Bluray. https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/releasedates.php?year=2024 There is a shitload of releases coming out every month. It’s a mix of old and new, but that’s actually good news.

A slowdown of bluray player releases does not mean that bluray is dead. It just means that the current market is saturated. Bluray will last as long as video game consoles will, at the minimum.

I would like to be able to let friends connect from outside my house to stream media and allow them access so they can add films and the server goes off and finds them, extracts them, and adds them to the media server.

This is going to be the second most expensive part of this process (the first being storage). Direct streaming for one person can be done on anything that can play your chosen video quality. Streaming for other people will require at least a video card, and a processor that can handle multiple people, as well as the extra storage that other people will want to use. You can use a single pi4 for one person, but you’ll want to look at a desktop PC with a modern-ish graphics card (for the encode) if you want to share with other people.

Because of the context of this conversation, it looks a lot like usser224 isn’t using your little conversation trick, and is instead treating an llm like an emergant intelligence. Better to call them out on that rather than spend the next ten comments talking past each other.

But it’s a good shortcut way to discuss a topic.

Not when the topic is literally about the difference between sapience and generated predictive text.

what it believed

That’s not how LLMs work. Stop ascribing intent to things which do not have it.

It really depends on the model. Best to pay attention to it like the previous comment mentioned.

The best way to meet your low power requirement, which you listed as the most important, is by having flash storage. The other half of this is that used hardware is going to be worse at power management than an SBC too. It may be worth doing the math to see how long the power draw difference will take to even out the cost of using flash storage instead of magnetic storage.

The other part of this is that you could just grab a 2.5" hard drive and split the difference on price/GB. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/xCKhP6/seagate-barracuda-5tb-25-5400rpm-internal-hard-drive-st5000lm000 start with two, and if you run out of space, or obtain more money, add two more from a different brand.

I use syncthing to keep all my documents and pictures synced between my devices.

It’s so the container has the correct local time. It doesn’t matter unless you’re trying to schedule things in the container and don’t want to calculate the offset every time you do.

yes. that. Thank you. My google and word memory were not helpful when i posted that.

You can run a router with just one Ethernet port on it. That’s what subnets are for.

Also, if they only had two gigabit ports with WiFi, they’d be directly competing with the nano-pi for market share. https://www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?route=product%2Fproduct&product_id=296

Still, I’m actually with you. That is a weird choice to make.

Brother laser printers last for years without issue. My point was that so long as you put in a little effort to find something that isn’t cheap shit you can actually get a product without any major issues.

Cheap wireless earbuds will fail, and will cause all sorts of frustration. On the other hand, well sourced earbuds will work for years without problems, just like printers.

My wireless g304 has been rock solid for years now. The battery lasts about 48 hours of active use before needing to be recharged. My Logitech ergo lift mouse has been rock solid for the past year as well and it’s still running on it’s very first battery!

I bought both for wrist pain reasons and for the most part they have also been very helpful for that too. Part of the reason I went wireless even for gaming is that the cable always dragged and caused issues with the mouse catching on occassion. It’s very worth whatever “instability” you might see for any product that moves.

My wireless earbuds have been rock solid for several years as well. As far as I’m concerned, wireless has been a solved problem for a little while now, similar to printers. There’s no point in needing a battery for something that doesn’t move, like a keyboard, but damn if it isn’t really nice for something that does.

Network paths in libraries have been fully removed and will no longer work. This functionality has been deprecated for a long time, and most of it was removed in 10.9.0, but this removes the remainder. See PR #12446. Third-party clients relying on this functionality should be able to re-implement it as required.

from the article.

Shame about the network location regression. That’s the only thing that keeps my kodi device from taking 5-15 seconds to load each sub menu.

It didn’t actually. If it had, I wouldn’t have pulled up my podcast app to find and listen to this episode, only to find that it didn’t exist.

Ah. I get it. Pet peeves do be the worst sometimes.

They really aren’t that far off… https://robindev.substack.com/p/cloudflare-took-down-our-website

I have a pretty solid average of 2-3 terabytes of download a month. My upload is between 4 and 10 terabytes a month.

I stream a lot of movies, youtube, etc. So does my roommate. I once had a sales rep in a different apartment say over the phone that I wouldn’t need to worry about the data caps. I laughed and hung up. I’d rather have slower speeds with no cap than higher speeds with a cap. there’s no point to having all that data if you spend the whole month worrying about hitting the data cap.
