Yeah, I think you’re looking for Monica at this point.

it’s a bunch of loose files, basically. If you wanted it actively hosted, you’d just need to put them into a web server, basically.

Wasn’t this app some exclusive thing for a marketing scheme in Kenya for Android Go? If so… maybe your phone has a… African history?

6w or so in idle, 50w under load with HDDs and RPi combined

Yeah, no. Just no. Absolutely no. Faster than everything else.and higher than everything else and all of that by burning less energy? Come on people, stop falling for this kind of crap.

Thing is that I got the HDDs lying around already. The hub supplies 5v/3A so powershould not be an issue… Yet who knows… I could try to power the HDDs from a USB power supply with a split cable and see if that helps

HDD, nothing else but the drives connected, doesn’t work

Anything that ends the bullshit one has to put up with with private trackers is a boon

So you just stabbed the guy with the mighty long spear of far-reaching doom…

I’m always very wary of systems that require a user to deviate as much from the “usual” structure almost all other services use. HAOS has really weird configs and “all the functionality” that presumably breaks when you use docker and don’t have the supervisor for docker… well… If what HA did was the way to go… whi is it that tons of services use docker’s rather powerful internal networking features just fine but HA of all things can’t do that and requires weird addons that for some reason cannot live on any other system than a Debian with weirdly specific modifications (bye bye cgroupsv2)? This will break most other functionality of that host Debian. I mean… if only there was a widespread-way to provide a highly customized Linux kernel in an ephemeral environment that can just be plugged in and out of a host machine without changing the host machine itself… Nah, can’t have that, let’s cause more overhead with a VM…

I’m not willing to make that kind of modifications to my whole setup just for HA and in the long run, this rift between “the way it’s usually done” and “The HA-Way” will become bigger and bigger, causing more and more problems.

I think you can use the gdpr for your advantage here. Someone has to have tried this, right? So they could put on a gdpr request, demanding all data stored from them.

Okay, so two questions:

1. are you in a country that falls under the GDPR?
2. this training data is to be per person?

The knife is magic, it leaps into the air and Jerry, do a survival roll.

I’ve found this amazing prop store! “Bad Dragons”, you know them? They got merch!

Unless we made it so you are not but think you are. We value your privacy. Like literally. We value your private shit in dollaridoos. Lots of’em. So we’re taking your privacy seriously. Seriously to the bank that is.

Well, i’d ditch that one for it’s power consumption (65w tdp is like a lot for a server) but that may not be an issue to you. Situations differ, needs differ. I had a quick look around at eBay and the like where I am and all I could get for that price was a crappy i3 4xxx or comparable, so you might see why the raspberry is a good offer to me.

That’s why I’m against flat-out “yeah, the pi is not worth it” or “the pi is the bee’s knees” statements. It’s a tool among many and ought to be used as such and I dislike when there is this mob mentality pro or Contra anything. The pi has it’s uses and there are.many cases where it’s not the ideal option. I’ll never recommend the pi or anything else flat out.

Which nuc did you get for that money? Is that NUC actually faster than the Pi 5? I’ve seen a ton of people claiming this and then it actually wasn’t. I mean, it that’s what’s on offer where you live, great! It’s certainly harder to find where I am. Is an SD card that expensive where you are? I mean, a SanDisk Extreme blahblah 256gb is 25 bucks here. Case costs about 5 to 10 bucks. Power supply is Free. Most ppl have a USB power supply capable of running a pi at hand.

Why wouldn’t the zero 2w have the ability to run peripherals? Of course it can. Besides: why would I want to run peripherals and a display on my pihole?

You quotemined half of my sentence and acted smug. Nice. The second (conventiently left out) part explained why I don’t get that there needs to be active opposition at all. Yet, that didn’t quite look dumb enough to drop a ride one liner, did it?

Thing is, the RPi 5 8gb costs 94€ after tax, so 75.in Us-before-tax-pricing. At least where I live, that’s not a bad price for the package. Bedsides, the gap they filled is still addressed by the Zero 2W which is dead cheap for it’s capabilities.

Look, I don’t know why there is so much Opposition to the pi,.since it’s just one of many tools we have at our disposal to get stuff done the way we want it and I don’t get why there has to be an objective best all around solution. If the Pi is what you are looking for: buy that, it’s nice that it has the things it has, it’s relatively low power and it’s tiny. If you are looking for more, buy more.

Of course there is faster stuff that’s older. For my setup, I want tiny and I want fast enough to host low-performance stuff like Home assistant, Baby buddy, an art stack, you get the jist. For this purpose a Pi that.goes into a literal drawer was exactly the thing I was looking for. It’s basically used to replace the VPS I have for security sensitive stuff (Vaultwarden). So “marginally more power” is still wasted power for me. It sits in a tiny cabinet next to my router now, happily serving me the wheel of time audiobooks and telling me when my.kid has.last eaten.
