I don’t do transcoding on my Jellyfin server, so a SBC works great. I have an odroid HC4 and it works great. If you can use the Jellyfin client on your TV box, the server doesn’t typically have to transcode anything. Works great for me at least.

I picked up an odroid HC4 a while ago, and it’s been great. Only has two slots, though. I have it set up to do periodic backups to a cloud storage service, so I feel pretty good about it overall.


I think Firefox is probably showing Mb/s, which would at least suggest that both methods are downloading at the same speed. Any chance you can leave the deck on while it’s downloading?


Out of curiosity, does Heroic show download speed in Mbps or MBps? I don’t know of any reason it would be significantly slower.


The main use for AI that I’ve seen in my circles is a search engine replacement. Not because AI is a good search engine, but because search engines have largely become useless.
If Mozilla wants to cement their place, create a better search engine. It’s how Google came to control a huge portion of the internet, and there’s now a huge vacuum waiting for someone to replace what we lost.

As long as you don’t use a DE on it, a pi3 is great for experimenting with server software. I still use my 3b for plenty of things.


So… just the P?


Turns out most of it is bigger, but still not easily visible (I was definitely one of the people that thought it was giant heaps).
the patch is a widely dispersed area consisting primarily of suspended “fingernail-sized or smaller”—often microscopic—particles in the upper water column known as microplastics.[4]
While microplastics dominate the area by count, 92% of the mass of the patch consists of larger objects. Some of the plastic is over 50 years old, and includes items (and fragments of items) such as “plastic lighters, toothbrushes, water bottles, pens, baby bottles, cell phones, plastic bags, and nurdles”.


Anyone can get it if you go find the island of it floating around in the Pacific Ocean (I think?).

Sounds about right
I’ve been daily driving CachyOS for a while now. It’s fast, and I like the rolling release model. It pretty much worked with my 4070 out of the box I believe, I don’t think I had to do anything special there. I started with Cinnamon as my DE, but eventually moved to Gnome (Cinnamon still uses X11 I believe, and there were things that just worked better with Wayland, and with a handful of extensions, I can get it to look the way I like).
That being said, I wouldn’t recommend it to people less comfortable with Linux. CachyOS has its own repositories (which is the whole idea, the software is compiled specifically for more modern hardware), but it can sometimes be confusing when choosing packages to install. The wiki is pretty helpful though, especially with getting games up and running.

How does a programming joke cause me physical pain?


I’ve used Armbian and DietPi. Currently running a magic mirror on a Rock64 and a NAS on an ODROID HC4. Of the two OSes, I think I’d recommend Armbian. Skip installing a DE and just get a basic X session with a simple web browser.
Note that MagicMirror is web based, so the setup steps for putting up a web browser would be similar.

How far apart are the TVs?
If it’s cheaper and/or easier to run ethernet between the TVs, you can use HDMI-over-ethernet extenders (like this one). Fewer PCs/SBCs to manage that way.
