Both middle school and high school in Denmark are required to use computers for Danish, English, German etc exams. It’s used for essays and other tests. It’s been like this since the early 2000.

I’ve used it for 5 years on iOS with zero issues at all. Set it to ‘Move’ and you will get great resolution.

Lots of people saying mealie or tandoor, so I'll say Grocy. I don't use it for every single food item but mainly for spices and frozen items and the recipe functionality is pretty good.

Sucks that it isn't available in the ios app though.

Isn’t gramps a desktop app? It would make more sense to use Webtrees when using a VPS, which can be accessed over the web with login.

Yes. I’ve tried all the available clients.

I have two main issues:

  1. The appletv app isn’t as smooth and fast as plex. It is hard to convince my wife to switch when the user experience is not as good.

  2. No profile fast switch. Unlike any other streaming service (Plex included) jellyfin doesn’t offer a list of profiles on startup to select who’s watching. This is a huge issue for me, as my wife, son and I uses the same devices with our own profiles.

Personally I think nextcloud is bloated with too many extra things. I’ve been using Seafile for 5+ years and it’s been great.

Take a look at the calculations here https://www.arqbackup.com/aws-glacier-pricing.html

It explains it a bit better. You have to factor in how many requests you need too. So both file sizes and amount of files.

If everyone you text with are on iPhone anyway, there’s no logical reason to switch iMessage off and use SMS.

Never personally had any issues with iMessage (not sure which parts you think “suck” and are “unstable”).

80% of my contacts use iMessage, the rest use Signal.

Auto play on the TV setting or in the Disney+ settings? Never heard of any streaming apps respecting the TV settings. Generally I’ve had to make all changes in the corresponding apps and if they don’t have an option for it, it wasn’t possible. Disney+ has generally had kids profile not autoplay the next episode but adult profiles it does.

Maybe Volumio can work? It’s some time since I last tried it.

Love Fira Code but recently switched to https://typeof.net/Iosevka/ and it’s equally great.

 

So I’ve been wanting to replace my Pi4 (4GB) with an Optiplex for better support (x86 architecture), more ram, and a better CPU.

I’m hoping to get something that also supports intel quick sync for hardware decoding of h265 but it isn’t a major problem if it isn’t available.

What’s the minimum CPU to go for ? Is an i5 6500 fine ? Will that draw more power than let’s say an 8500? Will an i3 6200 be fine too? What about an i5 3400?

I have no idea if I should aim for something in the i5 8x00 range vs i3/5 3x00, when it comes to power usage vs compute output.

I’m not planning on running a full plex server, as there isn’t space for my 3.5” disks, but I would like to run Immich, Seafile, Audiobookshelf etc without a sweat and without using 10+ kWh a week.

I’m located in Denmark so European prices are always an issue with both hardware and electricity 😂

An 8GB ram + i5 6500 Optiplex is about $150 used.
