  • New OS on ugreen DH4300

    Jump

  • Looks like it has an ARM CPU, a RK3588. Similar ballpark to a Pi 5 in CPU performance.

    Installing another OS would be technically possible but not easy, you'd need a Linux kernel with the RK3588 drivers already in it. Then there are differences between it and other RK3588 SBCs that could cause problems.

    Much like you wouldn't want to install anything other than raspbian on a Pi, you'd be best off with ugreen's OS even if others are technically possible.

  • YSK: Extreme wealth inequality is baked in to the system

  • Nah I'm built different.

  • Help Wanted: Accessing a Service With the Same FQDN Inside and Outside Local Network

    Jump

  • Sorry I might have misunderstood, you mentioned giving others access externally and it working fine. Normally, if you've set up the service to be publicly accessible on the internet, you can just visit the same site through the public DNS record and your public IP. At home or elsewhere, it's all the same internet.

    So either you've done something odd, or you're talking about different, more private, internal only services?

  • Help Wanted: Accessing a Service With the Same FQDN Inside and Outside Local Network

    Jump

  • Can you live with the services routing out and back into your public IP? If it all works for external users on the internet, doing nothing special should mean it works for you too?

  • What can I do with my old-but-functional android smartphone?

    Jump

  • I used an old phone with a broken screen as a webcam since covid untill it totally broke recently.

    However it needed some stars to align; I had a 3D printer to make a custom holder so it could sit on my monitor unobtrusively. I also luckily had a phone with a built in method to limit the battery charging so it could be plugged in 24/7. I was able to disable all power saving and permission features, so the app could run 24/7 without being killed by android.

    I used droidcam, which works with an OBS plugin nowadays. I got it to the point that I just needed to launch OBS and my webcam was on, no touching or fiddling with the phone at all.

  • Just vibing

    Jump

  • God I hate that video, he explains everything so badly to the point of completely misinforming viewers. He's talking about a special situation of AC current, but uses DC in the thought experiment. He makes it seem as if the field travels to the load in a direct path and the wires don't matter. No, the EM field is completely based on the wire.

  • Is there any software that can use it that benefits average user or is it just a waste of silicon???

  • Australia proves that solar can be easy and widely adopted

    Jump

  • That's just the invisible hand of the market directing people to use batteries to store the cheap power and export in the evening when the price goes up again.

    Also it's because the big coal plants can't quickly turn on and off, so theres too much supply basically whenever the sun is out nowadays.

  • Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM

    Jump

  • In my head I thought one could make relatively cheap high capacity in 2.5" SATA form factor by having more NAND chips of lower capacity. You give up speed and PCB space but that's fine since bandwidth and IOPS are limited by SATA anyway and there's plenty of space compared to M.2.

    Turns out to not shake out that way, controller ICs that support SATA aren't coming out any more, and NAND ICs are internally stacked to use up channels while not taking up PCB space.

    There are some enterprise options, but they're mad expensive.

  • Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM

    Jump

  • I have 4x 6TB HDDs in my NAS. Around 5 years ago I decided to simply replace any dead drives with 6TB ones instead of my previous strategy of slowly upgrading their size. I figured I could swap to 8TB 2.5" SATA SSDs that had just started to exist and would surely only get cheaper in the future...

  • Why don't compasses have just two Cardinal directions (North, East, -North, -East)?

    Jump

  • I think the idea of directions came before the idea of negative.

  • Which SBC for TV streaming?

    Jump

  • Back in the day I used a raspberry pi 3 for 1080p h.264 and steam link / moonlight. Problem was omxplayer plays up to 1080p60 beautifully, but anything else would struggle. Eventually 'upgraded' to an old laptop to easily YouTube/netflix in the browser too.

  • CopyParty is kind of a great file server

    Jump

  • I fucking love copyparty. It starts simple enough but then the millions of options and configs let you twist it into exactly what you need.

    As someone that runs a server OS that doesn't support docker, it is very refreshing to see a single binary project. It has a focus on being administrator friendly thats really fallen out of fashion these days.

    ‘R-tarded’ is a slur, and I’m sick of otherwise “liberal” people going along with the right’s move to renormalize it

    Jump

  • I've stopped using it as people have pointed out it's hurtful, but I've never fully understood why. To me it's in the same group as idiot, fool, lunatic, imbecile and cretin. Words that aren't used to describe conditions anymore, only used as insults. While they can be used with hatred, they can also be used in a teasing way with friends. To me it doesn't reach the level of racist, sexist and homophobic slurs.

    I wanted to learn more and found a paper that makes the case that ableist insults are slurs. Download it here

  • Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.

    Jump

  • Yeah true the index headset wasn't a bargain compared to the quests that were clearly being sold as cheaply as possible.

  • Hardware raccomandation for new selfhoster

    Jump

  • I think it would be fine. Friend of mine has Immich on a N100, like you mentioned, the initial ML tasks on a big library takes over 24 hours but once it's done it doesn't need much. I don't have experience running next cloud but the others you mentioned don't need much RAM/CPU.

    ZFS doesn't need much RAM, especially for a two disk 4TB mirror. It soaks up free RAM to use as a cache which makes people think it needs a lot. If the cache is tiny you just end up hitting the actual speed of the HDDs more often, which sounds within your expectations. I dare say you could get by with 8 GB, but 16GB would be plenty.

    I'd only point out if you're looking for it to last 10 years, a neat package like the ugreen might bite you. A more standard diy PC will have more replaceable parts. Would be bigger and more power hungry though.

  • Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.

    Jump

  • Can get an 'aoostar GODY' on AliExpress for US$1000. Basically the same GPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. The steam machine has less cores and less ethernet. Though it also has a way bigger heatsink, LEDs and extra Bluetooth/valve gamepad antenna.

    Comparing the deck to comparative brands, it is wayyy cheaper. I think valve are going to be aggressive on price, especially when the CPU/GPU are fairly old and meek.

  • Venezuela Says CIA-Linked Mercenaries Caught During 'False-Flag Attack'

    Jump

  • They've been seen using TM SGNL made by Israeli company TeleMessage to archive messages. Which is good except that it does so unencrypted, giving Mossad a window into the administration...

  • Its a solar powered phone webserver! Made from a pixel 6a, solar panel, and hopes/dreams.

  • That is fricking sick dude!
