Grrrr. My is taking over 30 minutes to upgrade from 2023.10.3 to 2023.10.5.

Is that normal?

Admittedly, it's running on an ancient Raspberry Pi 2. Should I be upgrading to something better - or is the process always this slow?

If you have personal experience with modern Home Assistant devices, feel free to recommend one to me.

agf102,

@Edent @syaochan I had HA in a VM for years with no issues. Forwarding the usb devices into it can be a pain on Linux but that’s only once and then rock solid. Only moved back to hw when those 11th gen tiny pcs became so cheap

Any thoughts on what to do with an old tablet?

It is the original (?) Nexus 7. I've resurrected it with 15 - but it runs slow as molasses uphill. Scrolling on the web is pretty stuttery.

Anything cool you've seen done with obsolete tech like this?

🆕 blog! “Keeping a side project alive with t-shirts and cash”

My wife and I run a side project called OpenBenches.org - it is a fun little crowd-sourced memorial bench site. It's mostly fun, except when the bills come due! Most hobby sites and side projects don't cost a lot to run. Lots of services have generous free tiers to (ab)use, and th…

Figured I'd try out PC Game Pass just to try Cloud Gaming, since it was $1.

Unplayably bad in both browser and Xbox app, on even the simplest titles 🤢 Even FS2020 required an in-vm install on launch, and progressed at a snail's pace. Dunno if there are regional/CDN issues, but I won't be going back to find out!

The one highlight, though, was booting up Gears of War 2 on a virtual Xbox 360 which synced my game save from 15 years ago and had the entire campaign unlocked for me. Now that’s cool

agf102,

@stroughtonsmith works amazingly for me 90% of the time in the UK on fibre. Means I can play games on my m2 Mac whist son is on the physical Xbox

OK, I'm getting started with .
Can anyone recommend a beginner friendly tutorial?
The official docs jump from 0-100 pretty quickly.
Alternately, anyone able to do some individual tutoring on the basics of design?

I've already got my routing set up, twig templates, and basic DB access. I just need to know the most efficient way of setting up something more complex and deploying it.

Thanks!

agf102,

@Edent any chance of adding a fediverse login and a migration from Twitter as an auth provider in the initial version? Only thing keeping my Twitter account alive!
