Re:Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi on Monday February 19, 2024 @10:48AM (#39431042)
Can I run a media server on an RPI? No. -- It's interface is slow and bus speed is shared. No redundancy either.

Can I run my password manager server on an RPI? No -- do you want to loose all your data because the SD card failed?

PiHole? Unifi controller? Maybe

Yeah having a newer phone helps.

Once I was stuck with a ridesharing car opened and off in -20C because my old samsung s8 throttled so bad I couldn't even reboot it. It was completely unresponive with the flashlight still on discharging it even faster.

I couldn't leave the car too, being responsible for damages during the rent.

After a bit of time I remembered that to force shut down newer androids you have to hold volume down and power. Why would they not keep it as a long press is beyond me.

I don't get what's so fascinating here to be honest. There's only 1000 milliseconds in second guys. Imagine how many pictures are taken at the same time in a music concert for example.

Android GPS API is quite a bit more low-level than in iOS. You can get data about visible satellites where as (to my understanding) in iOS you can't.
They adapt pricing, just like steam, spotify and others. I live in russia and only pay 4USD for the family plan
Re:Using Anki to remember what you read on Sunday March 08, 2020 @07:41AM (#22517551)
I've head a similar idea, except not in context of a group project but of a wiki. So there's a wider audience for any particular topic and more people to create and improve the exercises: cards, cloze deletion tests, etc.

I think it's important that exercises are tightly linked to the source material, like to a specific paragraph of an article, etc. So these materials should probably be added to the system as well. * With the same starting point it should be easier to have a proper discussion. * A new person can read the source and understand cards more easily with context. * Later if they've forgotten the topic completely they can reread it and hopefully remember faster.

I also had some ideas about being able to discuss and alter every paragraph in the source. Allow it to evolve to be more clear as people come and discuss confusing points.

Try to figure out how to go to the parent directory (not back) in Finder without resorting to google.

I was actually looking for something like this, it's a shame I can't install it. It says that it's incompatible with my Note 8.
