Pi-hole was really simple to set up. It was absolutely worth it and I’ve got it running on an old netbook. Very easy on resources.
Syncthing is also nice if you have files that you want easily shared between devices. I use it for sharing work files that I want synced between multiple devices. When I edit something it gets shared to all of my devices and it’s always up to date everywhere.
I’m pratty sure old.reddit.com lets you bypass this.
Nice. Didn’t see it while I was checking.
As an aside, I’m using Mull on Android with uBlock Origin on medium mode and I got no ads or pop-ups of any kind while reading the article.
Firefox’s reader mode can also be very useful for this in some cases.
Hopefully, this is something that can help you or someone else since I get to skip most of the ads and annoyances that I see people complain about on articles like this.
Same as you. Lost Liftoff and using Thunder now. Quite happy with Thunder, but I’ve got Raccoon and Voyager as backups right now. Just in case Thunder disappears as well.
Sure, that wouldn’t be a bad thing to try. Probably a lot of interesting ways to go about it. Good luck getting a company to try something cool, though.
I’d love to get a physical keyboard again. I’d happily give up some screen size for it too. Phones have gotten much too big.
A smaller screen would limit the phone, though. Would probably become a phone calls and texting only device since most apps wouldn’t know what to do with the small screen and weird aspect ratio.
They’ve been easier to find from what I’ve read recently.
Try rpilocator.
I’ve got a GameSir USB-C phone controller which I’m quite happy with. I’ve only checked out some video reviews of their other controllers and they seemed good and line up with my experience as well.
Just wanted to add this for anyone that might be curious about them.
Then I’ll conseder it when I’m feeling productive. I am using an old netbook. Thanks for the answers.
Would it be worth switching if I’m already set up on Debian?
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
What advantages would this give over plain Debian or similar? I’m a total noob, so I’d love something that might help me get a little more out of my little netbook ‘server’.
I’ve got Pi-hole and Syncthing running on an old netbook with an Atom CPU and 2 GB RAM. It’s doing fine. Syncthing killed the little dual-core CPU while it was syncing all of the stuff I wanted, but now it idles along quietly on Debian. I doubt you’re going to get much out of the machine, but it’s perfectly fine for small, simple stuff like Pi-hole.
Distro-wise, I’d say Debian or similar if you want to set-and-forget (update once a week or month) or Arch/openSUSE Tumbleweed if you want it up-to-date (potentially more work needed).
Considering the hardware I’d also recommend whichever distro you go with without a GUI to keep the resource usage as low as possible.
One day when I’m all growed up I want to have a better setup. For now I’ve got what I absolutely need.
That’s good to have. As long as this doesn’t become r/linux where every second post gets deleted for not being some kind of linux news.
Point people to the relevant community for next time, but keep the posts here. It always seemed really elitist and aggressive the way they handled it on reddit.
