I run a NUC and a few other network things off a 125W elcheapo $20 bestek(?) inverter off the house battery.

Sure it gets converted twice but actual watts wasted are minimal in a low power scheme, and the juice is cleaner in the end.

And consider DIYing a big house battery. The cells are cheap now. I built a 1200Ah LFP bank just because it fit nicely in the compartment. Then throw some solar at it.

And for backup, just get a large spinning external and plug it in occasionally to sync a copy. Put it back in the Tupperware for cold storage.

Ed: why the downvote?

Also you can repurpose an old phone as a Webcam, and many other uses

Hey, it had a good, hard life and went down fighting. That’s all you can ask for.

Well batteries are replacement items, too.

You can probably get all three done together for fairly cheap once they get working on it.

You can get your screen and USB ports replaced at a local fixit place. shop around

Ok then up your circus skills!

Or if you’re not ready to run away and join, these solder seal heat shrink connectors are a good choice:

Maybe up your soldering game. A proper connection will be solid.

And know that solder shouldn’t be used for structural support. Especially for anything that moves or is subject to vibration, etc.

Thanks but looking for offline solutions

It took a bite out of solar, too!

Sailor’s delight

Yea, mockingbirds are lit!

Congratulations, they are GenLast.

(The planet is dying from an overpopulation hug of death for those that didn’t figure that out yet.)

Didn’t go back to look so it doesn’t exist

FYI ripping wise, FLAC is the way to go.

And there are guides to using EAC and similar ripping software to get perfect rips.

Well worth the effort to do it once and perfectly.

Check the gear icon for your BT devices.

It might be a driver issue. Different BT devices have different access toggles.

Clicking through, I don’t get it. What content are they offering?

And what’s a leeching group? If they don’t see(d!) what’s the point?

All true and all, but it’s an ironic framing that implies saving human lives, since human population growth is the biggest driver by far.

Saving all diversity of life on the planet and preserving quality of life should be the stated objectives.

Qbittorrent or Rutorrent has some kind of extension to allow single private file sharing

Or can a private magnet link accomplish this?

Yep search public libraries online and maybe get lucky

Outdoor antennas are typically pole mount. You might be able to extend the dish pole or just remove the dish and use the mount and cabling.
