- Comment on Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices 4 days ago:
Thank you. I have seen the ASM1166 mentioned before as part of such a solution, but the other suggestions were new to me.
Can you also confirm to me, have I got it right that (some/all? of) the N100 boards has everything included regarding CPU, GPU and RAM, while most other mini-ITX boards come without those? Or did I get that wrong? Sorry for bothering you, but it’s all still a bit confusing to me, but I have a Jonsbo N3 case and some 22TB drives that are longing to move into their house.

Do you happen to know about a decent solution for 8 SATA ports on a mini-ITX board?

Yummy! I’ve heard they’re using hair spray too, in order to keep things in place and/or glossy.

The word “lifetime”, when talking about permanent subscriptions, always refers to the lifetime of the service (or provider), rather than the lifetime of the subscriber.

Sounds like a pretty interesting collection to me!

In Germany the government now fines you for piracy, using a common VPN isn’t enough anymore.
Why isn’t a zero-logs VPN enough? How would the government know? Encrypted VPN traffic can’t be decrypted, at least until we have quantum computers, right?
- Comment on Google’s ‘Secret’ Update Scans All Your Photos 1 month ago:
Droid-ify and Neo-Store are alternative clients for the F-Droid repository (and other repos), that you may like better than the official client. But yeah, Obtainium is indeed simple and it’s powerful if you already know exactly which app you want to install (rather than searching for relevant options in some repositories).

deploy a raspberry to project services into their local network
This piqued my interest!
What’s a good way of doing it? What services, besides the VPN, would run on that RPi (or some other SBC or other tiny device…) to make Jellyfin accessible on the local network?

There’s also a more lightweight alternative for recording tracks called OpenTracks. It can export the data in KMZ, KML, GPX or CSV format.
- Comment on Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps. 2 months ago:
I’m curious - how would they just “have phones switch”, and if that’s actually possible, to which “open non Google platform”?
- Comment on What is everyone using as a HTPC? 2 months ago:
Yes, you can cast from the official YouTube app (or Revanced). You need to generate a code for connection in the SmartTube settings, then connect your phone through the cast menu. The option in the cast menu on the phone is called something like “Connect with code” IIRC.

Possibly asking a dumb question here, but is your mic access available? There’s a tile for it in the quick settings drawer.

Like a fridge that rejects refridgerating foods from your local store, your neighbours’ or your own produce… Pretty useless.
- Comment on Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds 5 months ago:
I thought it was supposed to be an infinite amount of monkeys, since it’s known as “infinite monkey theorem”, but apparently, according to Wikipedia,
The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, including the complete works of William Shakespeare. […]
[…] can be generalized to state that any sequence of events that has a non-zero probability of happening will almost certainly occur an infinite number of times, given an infinite amount of time or a universe that is infinite in size.
But, I think, as long as either the timeframe or monkey amount is infinite, it should lead to the same results. So, why even limit one of them on this theoretical level after all? The linked study seems to limit both, so they’re not quite investigating the actual classic theorem, it seems.
- Comment on Sweden, Norway rethink plans for cashless societies over fears that fully digital payment systems would leave them vulnerable to Russian security threats 5 months ago:
Ok. The fact that you prefer it (probably because the thieve is mostly kind and generous to you) does not change the reality that it very much is theft from all those who might not agree with your societal preferences, and who did never consent to this. Since you naturally don’t have the right to forcefully take other people’s money without their consent, it’s impossible to forward that right to the state (or any person) acting on your behalf. That’s why it can logically be described as theft when a state collects taxes using violent force as a threat to anyone who won’t pay.

Just curious – which app is that? Seemingly not Eternity, as I’m using that, and you do not appear purple in here, but I’m always interested in exploring alternatives to the apps I’m using.
