Yup, I confirm, I've been on a plane with charging ports once. They exist.

Every time I'm on a longer trip and want to replace a battery with a charged one? Every time I want to be offline but carry a phone for emergencies?

I'm all about replacable batteries but come on. Two times I was out and came back home soaking wet because of rain. Many more times I used my phone in the kitchen or bathroom while water was splashing with no stress, which I wasn't brave enough to do with a non-resistant phones.

That being said, I'd rather carry an extra battery or two like I used to than carry a power bank.

When did you grow up that Gates has not been evil yet? All of the 90s was marked by Microsoft making home computing worse to create a monopoly. Fucking emails formatted in a way that's unreadable outside Windows, closed .doc format that became a de facto standard in offices and likely many other things I don't remember

Sounds really healthy

Woah, youtube ads in the US are so much more interesting. Don't get me wrong, fuck pro slavery propaganda, it's just completely exotic to someone who only saw bank loan and lame product ads (when visiting parents who use official app on their tv)

Same when setting up Nagios, after a time you learn fewer alerts is better

If it turns out to be a Pi bottleneck, you can just re-encode the videos with a lower quality and h.264 codec.

I have a similar setup but my nfs server is not a mini pc.

You could try diagnosing if it's the network or if your mini pc is too busy (maybe out of disk i/o?).

If that's too hard, temporarly stop all other programs on the mini pc. Does it help?

Does streaming something from the internet to kodi work without freezes? If it's ok, then network is likely not the issue

Last but not least, does playing the same video from an USB stick work smoothly? If not, maybe the quality is too high or the video is x265
