Kobo ereaders are great, when I'm on trips I download epub files on my phone, plug the ereader to my phone via USB, copy-paste the books and it just works. No need to install anything on the Kobo.

Podman, rootless containers work well, and there is no central process running everything. I like that starting containers on boot is integrated with systemd.

Kobo ebooks are the best for this, just plug them in a computer and they act as a USB key. Calibre can manage them too. Some models have a SD card slot for a lot more storage too.

I use Moonlight Qt on a raspberry pi 5, and used it on a raspberry pi 4 before that. Both connected via ethernet, streaming at 150 mbps. It works very well, feels like being at the computer. It feels like there is next to no delay, and moonlight reports around 5 ms.

Somewhere else I use a raspberry pi 3 A+ with Moonlight Embedded, connected via Wi-Fi, and it works pretty well, but I can notice the delay a bit more. Still able to stream at 40 mbps.

Wireless listening absolutely needs more than 2x the power of wired listening. It also needs charging an entire other device. You're right that it doesn't affect the phone battery, though I don't think wireless charging "destroys" it.

Termux, then you can navigate to the folder with cd and list the content of the folder with ls. You can save the output to a file ls > folder.txt .

There is a separate file you have to download, it's in the repo readme.

Btrfs snapshots are great! All my filesystem is Btrfs, with subvolumes for root, home and var.

I'm using the Fedora immutable distros on many computers, it's great to be able to boot into a previous version of the system if issues arise. Not that issues arise, since most packages are installed as Flatpaks, in a toolbox or in a container. Makes the systems nearly unbrickable.

I use LibreELEC, it's great.

Hey you made the claim in the first place, you have the burden proof. Don't attempt to shift it.

I never had performance issues, but I don't read huge books or anything. There seem to be some online converters, but I agree that is not the most ergonomic. Maybe calibre-web could also do the job, with you connecting to it through your phone's browser.

Never heard about the kepub format but I'll look into it, sounds cool.

As if American cars had any reputation for reliability XD

Yours is not at the top, so no longer true

I use Quadlet, which is now merged in podman. The only issue I had with it is running system systemd services as other (rootless) users, I can't get it to create cid files that the users can access. In those cases only, I have to modify the generated services files, which defeats the purpose.

Apparently it does! podman-compose

I use Fedora IoT on one of mine, for the immutable OS and container focus.

To add more details, I use Sunshine as the server, and stream 1080p, in HEVC for the pi 4 and 5, and h264 for the 3 A+.

I have the 128 GB storage 8 GB RAM, it's still very usable. I often get annoyed with the small SSD, I'd assume 64 GB is way too small. Also if I remember correctly the 64 GB version has much slower eMMC storage, while the 128 GB and up have a real SSD.

Viewfinder!

I installed it successfully on a 512 MB machine the other day, with LXQT. Didn't run very well though.

This is just the plot to Snow Crash

I mean there's more than these two categories. There's "Canadian news", "French news", "South Korean news", "USA news", and so on. It's not a privileged classification, it's national news, every country has them.

Caaaaaaps

Probably wifi, I dont think Moonlight Embedded uses much ram. I also get the undervoltage warning nearly constantly, since the a+ is powered by the usb port of a projector. Maybe that also affects things.

Nope we say it as in English. Maybe he's from "Les régions".

Nope not Canadian French (source: am Canadian French)
