Same here. Sansa in the drawer, only brought it as used to be able to hack a ps3 with it before full custom firmware was a thing.

Zune still works but no windows 10 drivers so stuck with old music 😕

good alternatives to raspberry pi which are cheap and efficient?

Hello , dear lemmy users , I am starting to really like self-host because they are really fast and mostly i use open source stuff (like lemmy /photon etc) which were sometimes slow but after self hosting it now on the pc i am on using , i really like it...

I’m a big fan of dell wyse machines. Loads on ebay, ex business machines. X86 so decent support, decent dell power supply, on / off button / in cases and low power.

I have wyse 3040 for pihole cost 39.99

I have wyse 5070 with windows 10 for plex and running a Ubuntu 22 server in virtual box, cost 59.99

Both mine are there was a tested for power.

Running 24/7 for a good 6 months. Certainly not noticed any difference to power cost.

You don’t. I also don’t recommend you marry them… Happily divorced now 🙄

How do you organize your DHCP clients?

I’m setting up DHCP reservations on my home network and came up with a simple schema to identify devices: .100 is for desktops, .200 for mobiles, .010 for my devices, .020 for my wife’s, and so on. Does anyone else use schemas like this? I’ve also got .local DNS names for each device, but having a consistent schema feels...

richdotward ,

I put them into groups, servers, consoles, computers, phones, smart devices, media. Between 10 to 20 per range.

Everything else the dhcp server gives out ip over x.x.x.150 so easy to see new stuff.

Amazon's Amp is now available on Android (play.google.com)

Last spring, Amazon launched its live audio-streaming platform, Amp, which aims to reinvent radio with “an infinite dial of shows.” Amp offers users access to a vast, built-in music library to create their own DJ sets with. No need to buy songs or flirt with the DMCA, just make a playlist, go live, talk in between tracks,...

Typical not available in the UK.

Dates according to my auto torrent downloader.

Is Ratio Cheating prevalent on private trackers?

Ive always noticed some suspicious profiles on private trackers, where they have enormous ratio stats even though they don’t belong to a VIP tier/class. How do they achieve this? Do they use softwares like greedytorrents or ratioghost? If yes how do they go undetectable by the mods? I’ve been looking up some remote forums...

I have about 2tb credit on a popular site. My TV shows are all auto grabbed by my seedbox and normally seeded above 1 to 1 before I even notice.

100 Meg up and down.

2.9 here in the UK. All one star reviews on main screen lol

richdotward ,

Wait till the EU battery replacement law kicks in. Kind of no need to upgrade then unless you crack the screen.

Difference between my Samsung s9+ and Samsung s21 is minimal.

richdotward ,

I thought the same till I actually brought myself a decent pair of Bluetooth headphones with a chargable case. Never had a problem with battery life and much easier with no wires.

I did get a cheap gbp 2.00, usb-c to 3.5mm audio adaptor just in case but never used it yet.

richdotward ,

Thanks for the info. Wanted to try it for ages.

Currently using poweramp.

Dispointed though, I use exactly the same music set stored on my phone and also on nas drive. Yet sorting doesnt always put the album together and the search doesn’t find all of the artists songs.

Sticking to poweramp.

I’ve got a wyse 3040 with Ubuntu 22.04 lts running 24/7 just running pihole to block network adverts.

Then a wyse 5070 with a 256gb m2 ssd using windows 10 for my plex server and transferring files from my seedbox

Both work great with zero issues. Both in the frontroom and as no fans in them totally silent.

I was tempted to use one for emulation but don’t really need anything my current rasp pi 4 can do.

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=keepass2and…

Been using this for years. Hosted via ssh on my server in a ovh data center. Fingerprint access and every single account with a random password.

richdotward ,

Yeah got two gpi cases here.

1 fully working, and another in the box with a spare pi zero just waiting for me to get around to setting it up. Gbp 80.00 for the fully working one but did redo the software. Then saw a brand new one on ebay from China for gbp 25.00.

I used to play the acorn archemedes demo version of this for hours. Could never afford the full version.

By time I had a full time job the computer was dead.

The ps1 version was terrible, wish I never brought it.
