  • That is pretty expensive nowadays, if OP wants to go that expensive, getting a mini PC with the latest intel N150. The pi 5 doesn’t even have hardware AV1 decoding. By the time you have all of the pi accessories, it is not much of a price difference, but defi itely a performance difference.

    Plus you get benefits like actual storage instead of a separately bought SD card, more RAM, 2.5G ethernet, and HDMI2.1 & USB–C displayport.

    Then you slap Linux on it (and also hope that plasma bigscreen is a success in the near future) and you have a very reliable 4K HTPC that can decode anything you throw at it. It has enough horsepower to be a home server at the same time, unlike a pi while also having just a bit higher idle power usage (2W or so).


  • And I still can only get 0 like, 0 comment shaky cam video of a screen capture of ultra zoomed in tiktoks or blasting shitty electronika music at 100dB clipping all to hell with 2005 era Microsoft visualizer videos.

    Just like pixelfed, there is no way to discover anyone except the same 10-12 rotation of people they put in explore.

    I come back every month or two and swipe through 5-10 to see if anything has changed, but it never has. In the case of loops, the same number of creators, some of which haven’t posted a video for almost 8 months are “trending”? Maybe that is where the “active users” number comes from?







  • Xperia 5ii here, fingerprint sensor slowly died. i still absolutely think it is a software issue that Sony intentionally put in there for planned obsolescence because Sony sometimes just re-enables it randomly after a restart, and multiple other phones have a similar side fingerprint sensor without the issue at all.

    Some people have said a factory reset fixes it for a while too, which lends more credibility to it being an intentional software block.


  • Had a 2023 VW ID4. They literally go out of their way to make your experience worse in many cases.

    They have an app, they can read locked state, but can’t lock the car.

    Their app/website makes you completely re-sign in and re-accept cookies every month or so that breaks any API usage mildly like HomeAssistant.

    The key unlocks the door if you walk to it, 50% chance to re-lock the door when you walk away without interacting with it.

    Can detect tire pressure, but they don’t tell you what it is, only if there is “pressure loss”

    Backup camera was horrific quality, especially the field of view of a telephoto camera, especially compared to my 2015 Nissan altima

    The entertainmrnt console was terible, extremely laggy, and Android auto was the worst experience. It would take between 2 and 15 minutes to connect to android auto with multiple different phones, and it would choose 1 app per phone to not display. My girlfriends’ was her maps app which is insane. Sometimes I would be at my destination before it would connect.

    Also putting a trailer hitch on it would have been like 1500-2000€…

    Is your printer network attached and scanning via flatpak packages?

    Network printing works fine, USB printing and scanning works also, it is just anything having to use saned that flatpaks can’t seem to use

    I have hopped through multiple distros and I have never once had scanning not work on a “normal” one after correctly setting up saned. Only bazzite because of the flatpak/system split (also why any embedded programming needs distrobox)





  • I think the issue is more that large tech firms can absolutely deal with external security in their applications. The amount of times gmail or Microsoft 365 has been hacked and leaked a bunch of client data is statistically zero when looking at their attack area.

    Joe Dirt self hosting a mail server for his neighbors on a salvaged rack server is 1000x more likely to get hacked or lose a ton of his neighbors’ data than a big tech firm.

    That is kind of the trade off for community hosting. There are very very few backup and security-literate people in communities.
