You can make it a “live tv” of sorts that changes between streams that you enjoy the most while at the same time a network-wide ad blocker.

I tried it once and gave up after realizing the necessary mental gymnastics to do simple things like installing something.

Eh, I just set $ROOTFS to ro and my $HOME to rw.

I’m forced to use Brave or else my potato has a heart attack – what am I?

Good ol’ Windows 69. :^)

For the sake of “saving” your post (even as someone who has no idea how nextcloud works)… I made a quick search regarding nextcloud and the nextcloud docs says it needs a minimum of 128MiB ram per process while they recommend 512MiB which doesn’t seem that much of a resource beast at all…? It COULD work, but not as good as your typical nextcloud setup with over 10 processes or something of the sort. Probably a headless/bare metal setup with dietpi, I guess?

Then again, as I said previously… this is a totally ignorant take on saving your post, but eh… who on earth would want to run nextcloud with less than 10 processes anyways? So I’m gonna go with “Yeah it does, but you’ll (eventually) want to switch to a better sbc later on.”

My orange pi zero 3 hosting nextdns via docker:

(It’s like nothing is happening at all – under 1W power draw go brrr)

For when you are running an “obscure” distro and/or sbc (like say, dietpi and orange pi zero 3).

I’ve got a rpi 4 w/ 2 GiB of ram and it runs fine.

1- Clone this repo: https://github.com/NicoD-SBC/armbian-gaming

2- Run armbian-gaming.sh

3- Choose “install retropie”

4- Run “emulationstation” after installing

I like my rpi, but using it with a water cooling kit that big is a bit too much. It’s like buying a ferrari engine and then using it on my 20 year old car.

Thank you for your concise and well thought post.

There are minimum risk that the sbc is damaged (0 risk don’t exists) although.

Let me guess – those same risks also exists with a (required volts per amps) power supply? Then again, I’m planning to use it on an sbc meant to stay idle 24/7, so I guess I should be fine. Thank you for your input as well.

What if my board has barely any available ram for that? (Right now its running sway, docker w/ nextdns and playing a 24/7 livestream through ffplay/yt-dlp and the available ram varies between 90MiB to 300 MiB.)

I saw an article where people started messing with voltage to a Tesla’s CPU and managed to unlock premium features.

I know this is slightly off-topic, but… how exactly does this happens anyways? Does dropping the cpu voltage makes it “forget” of some intended things like a built-in protection or something of the sort? Not gonna lie, I never heard of it until now.

I am currently powering two rpi’s with a 40w USB dual port charger, has been going well.

Isn’t using chargers instead of power supplies dangerous? Because I keep hearing that “power supplies are a must or else you’ll kill your device” like its gospel. Unless that isn’t entirely true or something I might be (very likely) unaware.

Other than that, thanks for your input as well

Fair enough. Thank you for your input.

…I’m (quite) sure that X is an indirect mockery to zoomers/millenials tho. But yeah, the Year of the Li— er, Wayland desktop is upon us lads.

“I can actually control and issue commands by myself instead of relying on shady installers and other type of automated-related stuff?”

“Whoooooa, whoa now buddy… that is too much.”

Did you mean “moving binary files to /usr/bin”?

Eh…you’ve got a point there. Then again, there is always pendrives and other extremely small devices where you can copy your (mostly important/crucial) files in and carry it along with your house/car keys or something like that.
