MicroUSB does it with MHL, which is the less addictive one

Which episode is this from?

“Everyone is 12” theory strikes back

Hey, we fire elementals know how to use scissors! We only buy metal ones of course.

This is before you read that it’s Hupikék törpikék in Hungarian, right?
More languages

Czechoslovak dubs are some of the best. They had a small selection of titles to do, and would often recut title sequences not to expose people to foreign languages. I really like the lettering in the Czech intro to Willy Fog a cesta kolem světa za 80 dní (I hate that Czech TV ruined it by editing “Czechoslovak” to “Czech” with a digital box overlay and the original is nowhere to be found; however I get that they didn’t really have time for sourcing the textless original and doing some arts and crafts when there was a flood of foreign material in the 90s).

They sometimes replaced the song, this time with the Johan and Peewit intro and it slaps.

Je to jenom jedna stránka z dokumentu o promoakci, kdoví, kdo to dělal. Ale podle nízkého rozlišení se jedná o masový deployment a ne hlavní pracovní počítač někoho moc nahoře: ten by asi taky dokázal sešít PDFka.

She’s Ellen Joe from Zenless Zone Zero and that “massive booty” is actually a shark tail.

I’ve been using the free tier and it looks good

Congratulations, you are very funny. /s

I was actually considering something like “A new Raspberry Pi 5 is the best and most cost-effective option for my use case” to take advantage of Cunningham’s law.

• The drive can be spun down, and I’ll try to cache most frequent and recent files to SSD to save power
• Volts aren’t watts, the HDD uses 20W when spinning but <1 W in standby
• The home already overproduces solar so yes, we have cheap electricity at daytime, but we still have to pay some 0.40 €/kWh for the nightly use. Solar panels are a good investment but so is saving power regardless of production, otherwise one is robbing oneself of the grid buyback payouts. These are around half the cost of nighttime electricity.

Why Docker? I’m definitely not after scalability.

Yeah, that’s where it’s going now, the SSD arrives tomorrow. If the sale does not go through, I’ll keep the money or buy some microcontrollers instead.

I don’t think the TV does either

Edit: it does! I tested with the existing satellite STB (which I’ll be replacing with IPTV for cost reasons) but the only feature it can do is turn the source on/off, it does not pass the 0-9 or P+/P- key presses to it when in HDMI mode - it switches to the now useless analog tuner when any of them are pressed. Either way, I have a universal remote that I can program to send different codes for 0-9 and P+/P-, so that they are only interpreted by the USB IR receiver I install and not the TV.

Most MoBos allow programmatic fan control too, right?

I’m OK with a fan running when the HDD is spinning. To save power, a SSD can perhaps be used as a cache to minimize HDD usage time during file transfers over LAN or torrent.

Fujitsu Futro S740

Now that’s a good recommendation. I didn’t find any for sale around here but I can get an HP T530 that also idles below 10 W for 35 €. I’d need to buy an HDMI-DP adapter, plus an M.2 SSD or a wireless module (they use the same slot and there’s just one), the other would need to be a USB peripheral.

I have an official RPi 5V3A supply already, which can power the Pi 5 at lower clock speeds, which kinda defeats the point of buying it over the 4B, unless they are almost the same price (around 60 € used at the official store). I’ve been trying to contact someone selling a “barely used” 4B for 40 € but they haven’t responded yet.

All the use cases I need are well-documented on ARM by the RPi community. What issues do you think I’d encounter?

plenty of useful IO

It’s not that old or professional, unfortunately. It was a budget 15.6" one I got from a relative. Only two USB ports (one is 3.0), Ethernet, HDMI, headphone jack and DVD±RW drive. It’s underwhelming but not that I need much more. It can’t even do 4K but the TV is 1366x768 so that’s OK too.
