Depends on your setup. I’m a btrfs guy, so I’d go with something similar as your other reply. It’s just as easy to remove/replace/add drives. They don’t even have to match in size. Just remember to balance after doing modifications to your array.
Whatever you get, get at least two and do RAID1/5/6. They will break.
Speed shouldn’t be an issue for streaming media.
I use a PowerBook G4 running MorphOS.
My parents never bought me an Amiga when I was little, and I’ve been making up for it ever since.
Inspired by xkcd’s thing explainer I generated a list of how often words appeared in subtitles on opensubtitles for my target language.
I whipped those into a database, added manual translation for the top-1000 and started quizzing myself with a tiny php script.
It was more fun to code than to actually quiz myself. I think I played the top-100 before I got bored.
The contributor above works at Baikal Electronics, which are a defense supplier in/for Russia, and therefore sanctioned.
The Linux Foundation is based in the US and have to bide by those sanctions.
Integrated GPU is not a dirty word anymore.
AMD’s system-on-a-chips with RDNA2/3 pack almost the same punch as the discrete cards with the same architecture. See steamdeck as the prime example, but there’s quite a few boards, boxes and laptops with the same.
My desktop, laptop and homelab all synd my important stuff over syncthing. They all do btrfs snapshots three months back in case an oopsie would propagate.
The homelab additionally fetches deduplicated snapshots of my VPS weekly, before syncing all of the above to an encrypted hetzner storage for those burning-down-the-house events.
He also planned to have BcacheFS merged to mainline in 2018. Finally got it merged in 2023 (released in 2024).
Development will likely slow down a bit when things require more review, discussion and scrutiny now that it’s mainlined.
I’ve recently switched from Firefox’ vault to bitwarden.
I’d say it works 50% of the time. On desktop Firefox it just doesn’t manage to autofill things some days and I end up copy-pasting my credentials.
On mobile is happy to present me with suggested logins for a page. If I have one, pick or generate one, then it’s all dandy. If I decide I’d rather not, then there’s no way out of that view. I end up force-killing Firefox mobile. Maybe the app works better than the browser extension.
Let me quote the Wikipedia page.
Bcachefs describes itself as “working and stable, with a small community of users”. When discussing Linux 6.9-rc3 on April 7, 2024, Linus Torvalds touched on the stability of bcachefs, saying “if you thought bcachefs was stable already, I have a bridge to sell you”, and in August of 2024 that “nobody sane uses bcachefs and expects it to be stable”.
It’s been being for a long time. It finally got merged to mainline in Linux 6.7. Sounds like they started a lot of renovations after that. It’s still a bit too much in motion for me to consider it.
Performance and features look promising. I’ll revisit in 2030 if things have calmed down and they still have maintainers.
I’ve been running btrfs for 14 years. It has similar features and a proven track record. It doesn’t move as fast. That’s a good thing for a filesystem.
GalliumOS is x86/64 only, and has been deprecated for years. Mainline distros have good support for the Chromebook quirks now.
Cadmium, on the other hand.
INFO: What filesystem does your source drive/partition have?
For an external display I’d bet the case is the hardware driver for the panel.
At least my 17" Powerbook G4 with a massive 2560x1440 display does it in the software display driver. I’m sure some laptop panels do it in hardware as well, but seems there’s some very janky shit going on at least with laptops that have both integrated and discrete GPUs.
My PowerBook G4 might be a bit dated, but running other resolutions than native is quite heavy on that thing. Your built-in display can handle one resolution only - anything else will require upscaling.
Your GPU can probably do that upscaling for cheap. But cheaper than rendering your desktop applications? 🤷♂️
You’ll have to benchmark your particular device with powertop.
MeeGo, then Maemo. It lives on in the successor SailfishOS.
What filesystem do you have on that SD-card? Likely FAT32, which does not support ownership.
The Android client seems to have dropped a few player engines in a recent update. Previously there was an option to use libvlc, omxplayer or a third option that I can’t recall. Seems the developer opted to go with the worst option.
The AndroidTV app can use external players such ss VLC. I went with kodi as a client instead.
Yes, and now they’re looking for a real terminal
I much enjoyed it back in the day. Nokia even had their own app store for it and gave a nice financial incentive for the first hundred or thousand apps.
I feel Jolla & SailfishOS is the spiritual successor.
