You can run a router with just one Ethernet port on it. That's what subnets are for.

Also, if they only had two gigabit ports with WiFi, they'd be directly competing with the nano-pi for market share. https://www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=296

Still, I'm actually with you. That is a weird choice to make.

Brother laser printers last for years without issue. My point was that so long as you put in a little effort to find something that isn't cheap shit you can actually get a product without any major issues.

Cheap wireless earbuds will fail, and will cause all sorts of frustration. On the other hand, well sourced earbuds will work for years without problems, just like printers.

My wireless g304 has been rock solid for years now. The battery lasts about 48 hours of active use before needing to be recharged. My Logitech ergo lift mouse has been rock solid for the past year as well and it's still running on it's very first battery!

I bought both for wrist pain reasons and for the most part they have also been very helpful for that too. Part of the reason I went wireless even for gaming is that the cable always dragged and caused issues with the mouse catching on occassion. It's very worth whatever "instability" you might see for any product that moves.

My wireless earbuds have been rock solid for several years as well. As far as I'm concerned, wireless has been a solved problem for a little while now, similar to printers. There's no point in needing a battery for something that doesn't move, like a keyboard, but damn if it isn't really nice for something that does.

Network paths in libraries have been fully removed and will no longer work. This functionality has been deprecated for a long time, and most of it was removed in 10.9.0, but this removes the remainder. See PR #12446. Third-party clients relying on this functionality should be able to re-implement it as required.

from the article.

Shame about the network location regression. That's the only thing that keeps my kodi device from taking 5-15 seconds to load each sub menu.

The local city reddit/discord is gonna have regular hangouts if your city is big enough. That's been my go-to starting point everytime I move.

I managed to get an in-person DND group going by visiting the local game store. There's also the other card / roleplay games available too.

Depending on your age, there's also the local college groups. You could join a cycling group, or a running geoup. Hell, the queer group in my town has a first Sunday coffee meetup.

It's easy to shut down any suggestions but damn, if all you ever do is naysay shit, then you're never gonna get anywhere. Do you want to find friends and romantic partners, or do you want to spend your time crapping on online dating?

It didn't actually. If it had, I wouldn't have pulled up my podcast app to find and listen to this episode, only to find that it didn't exist.

Ah. I get it. Pet peeves do be the worst sometimes.

I have a pretty solid average of 2-3 terabytes of download a month. My upload is between 4 and 10 terabytes a month.

I stream a lot of movies, youtube, etc. So does my roommate. I once had a sales rep in a different apartment say over the phone that I wouldn't need to worry about the data caps. I laughed and hung up. I'd rather have slower speeds with no cap than higher speeds with a cap. there's no point to having all that data if you spend the whole month worrying about hitting the data cap.

Yup. If the sd card doesnt have enough space for everything, you could attach an m.2 hat to it as well. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/using-m-2-hat-with-raspberry-pi-5/

Basically, jellyfin on the pi, with the wifi setup as an access point, and whatever amount of storage you need. The pi requires 5v/5a, so you'll probably run into issues running off the car usb power, but a cheap 30amp hour battery should run it for 6-10 hours if my napkin math is right.

You understand that, for everyone except for a complete network pro, that is worse for security and privacy, right?

Don't get me wrong, it's great that you can.

But the reason piracy websites struggle so much with long term stability isn't because they're hosting the wrong software.
