Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    Trascoding video on the Pi is pretty much a no-go 😆

        Lucky you! But one thing that Pi’s are is quiet, something you don’t get with anything much more powerful.

          True! I think I only ever used the Pi 2 or 3? Still too underpowered for what I wanted it for back then.

            I bought a Pi 1 as soon as they were announced, then it spent nearly a decade in a cupboard (other than some short-lived projects) before I finally found a good use for it. It’s currently running Pi-hole for my home network.

            The Pi4 is a lot, lot more powerful. It can run a dozen self hosted services and do just fine, so long as those services are not media-serving. I have found photo or media servers are a bit much for the Pi 4, and I’ve recently moved things across to an old laptop and started looking at doing media related stuff.

              That’s a good use. I think back then I wanted it for media and maybe torrenting? I’m stretching my memory here a little, but possibly it had shared bandwidth between the USB bus and Ethernet?? Which made it unsuitable. Ended up selling it later on.
