I’ve had a good experience so far with two minipcs, mele quieter 4c for kodi, and a morefine m9 (I think this one is branded as mipowcat in the EU). They’re both n100, the m9 can go up to 32gb of ram although it is picky about what modules it will accept. I use the m9 for jellyfin and about 10 other services. Quick sync works great as far as I’ve tested it. For jellyfin I’m relying mostly on direct streaming, but I tried a few episodes with forcing some transcoding by using Firefox for playback and it worked fine.
I feel like the argument for using a nonstandard ssh port these days is that you dodge the low tier automation/bots that are endlessly scanning IPs and port 22 and trying obvious usernames and passwords. I do also question how much it is worth dodging these since presumably you’d have already done the other basics like key only and no root login before this. Maybe there’s some value if you want a clean auth.log or equivalent

To add to this, there’s even the capacity to add usb dacs if the underlying distribution supports it. Picoreplayer was my introduction to these tools and I’m pretty sure it’s my final destination. Can’t recommend it enough if they have the time and curiosity to get it set up.
I would also add that if the person OP is asking on behalf of is not so inclined to get into the technical parts and okay with possibly throwing money at the project, volumio is there. I tried this first and appreciated it for what it was, but I wanted features behind the pay wall which are readily available for free with pCP.
So I have drank coffee on and off since I was a teenager, and I recently took probably a 2 year break from it. When I was drinking coffee, it was usually because they had a pod system at work, and it was an excuse to get up from my desk and take a break. With that said, I have been watching this Netflix show Resident Alien...
For me, the single cup v60 is where it’s at for a great drink regardless of the cost, and you really don’t have to break the bank for a solid setup. A decent hand grinder, gooseneck kettle with a thermometer, and brewer can all be had within $200. Once you find a recipe you like and get comfy with the technique it’s pretty easy to make brews that are consistently better than most anything you’d get from a shop or cafe.
1zpresso makes nice grinders in the $100-$200 range, and I wouldn’t be very picky about the kettle unless you’re using an induction stove top. Hario v60 brewers are about $20.
If you want to put the grinding issue aside and try things before committing to tools, you might see if you have some local roaster/cafes nearby. Most that sell beans will also grind for you, and they should grind according to whatever brew method you want to try.
I searched up “Lemmy” on the PlayStore and noticed that Reddit appears right before the last lemmy client in that search X3 do u guys know if there r any other lemmy clients worth trying?

I ran into this exactly, but it turned out to be device compatibility. I could never find it in the play store on the (x86) Chromebook, while it always showed up as you’d expect on the arm android.
Not with their end product - the powder itself is excellent. But every little packet is plastic, and doesn’t have to be. The world has such a serious problem with plastics, and for a lot of products it’s kind of necessary, but this is not one of them....
There’s also the “pavlis” recipe, or simply the potassium bicarbonate mix:
Make a concentrate of 10 grams per 100 mL, then use 1ml of concentrate per 1 liter.
Be sure to keep the concentrate in the fridge to slow down the growth of any civilizations, though. A 100ml batch lasts me about 6 weeks at roughly 4 shots a day.

Backblaze B2, which I’m pretty sure is a repackaged S3 provider, or you can just skip them and go directly to AWS S3; though, both aren’t drag and drop user friendly like onedrive or gdrive. But both work well if you invest a little time with something like rclone.
Thanks, I was wondering why the s3 prefixes were used. If my memory serves, b2 is especially better on the billing rates for retrieval, so a better choice if large disaster recovery is on your mind.
I wanted to share my experience with these switches since I wasn’t seeing much about them, especially for the latest revision, the “New V2”. There’s some helpful videos on yt that explain what’s up with the versions and the terrible naming. Short version is the V2 came out with dampening at the bottom of the switch,...
That’s a great question, never really considered it before. I seem to recall the front structure was able to be packed with warheads and launched at whatever, presumable with some targeting. Maybe the idea was 5 or 6 ships doing this on a cube could put it out of commission. Reminds me of torpedo boats.
Just watch out because decaf behaves a bit differently. You usually need a bit more coffee and slightly higher temperature to get in the ballpark of tasty shots. It’s a great idea for learning to dial in, but you probably don’t want to take your ideal settings from the decaf trials over to regular espresso beans.
I haven’t enjoyed TNG really at all so I slowed down on my journey of watching all of Star Trek in order. However tonight I decided to watch a episode. That episode was The Measure Of A Man. This episode is truly a diamond in the rough in my opinion. This episode is exactly why I fell in love with Star Trek in the first place!...
Excellent episode for sure. This one comes up in philosophy and legal circles. Legal eagle guy gives at very brief analysis, comparing the procedures used there against actual military courts. It’s nothing in depth, but still fun seeing analysis from a legal mind. We watched the arguments portions (on VHS) in philosophy 101 at my university. The professor felt it was a great way to illustrate Descartes’ dualism ideas.
