PSX-Pi SMB share

See the good explanation in the video.

Note: there are new MemCard mids yo play directly off a SD card, see his more recent videos.

Great, understood. Thanks a lot!

I want to access my NAS, incl the containers it is running.

Thank you for the David link 🎆

The distrust is adding up, I see your point. Will be adding an openWRT router to host a VPN and also manage VLANs. Ultimately might move AdGuard there instead of piHole on my NAS.

Still not sure what to think about the cloud-pangolin setup, so might work stepwise.

Thanks!

Running piHole on a NAS, so would avoid adding another device. Adding a trusted router works already increase the device count.

(My rPi1 is connected to my PS2 and hosts all my ISO files from USB via Ethernet so no discs are required and loading is faster )

Seems like rule #1 😄

Thanks, I can follow and understand the first two paragraphs. That feels like my preferred option for now.

Don't understand your third paragraph. Any good resources you can point me to for learning?

Thanks!

Sounds interesting to consider, thank you! Did not know about Pangolin and was considering a wireguard VPN on the router to access my NAS services (jellyfin, files, foto backup), avoiding exposed ports etc, and also to avoid hotel WiFi security risks.

What are the benefits of using the could-pangolin setup vs. wireguard on the router?

 

Hi, looking for some advice to set up a VPN server to get into my home network when traveling.

I have a NAS and an openWRT AP within the network. My router is provided by the ISP and with a built-in VPN. Being a hobbyist in networking, I would like to tab your brains for suggestions and know how:

Should I get my own router to run a wireguard VPN off the router directly, i.e. on the edge of the network, OR run a VPN service off the openWRT AP or the NAS, i.e. from within the home network?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Thanks everyone for your many replies! Week start out with wallabag and see where it will lead me.

Thank you for the nice summary!

 

Just learned that POCKET will shut down in July 2025. It is a great service to collect articles on various devices and read later on a tablet & offline.

Which alternatives are out there?

[–] ratzki@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

An recommendations for Pocket-Alternatives? I save articles on my phone and desktop and read on my tablet…

 

Hi, is there any way to sync devices directly to Calibre server? I would like to keep the database on a server and sync directly from there. This would allow to leave out syncinc the library to a laptop first. Thanks for your support!

 

Hi, I have retroarch on various devices (Linux & android) and want to sync both saves and gaming history across devices.

Currently, I managed to sync saves via Syncthing. History syncing seems more tricky.

Do you have any experience with this? TIA

Hi, does Rockbox have a limit regarding album art resolution? My iPod G5.5 only shows it for some tracks, sometimes with ridicously long track durations in the progress bar. Any ideas? TIA

[update 01]: RB apparently prefers JPEG until 600 x 600 pixels, ideally not progressive. After updating the cover art to 150 x 150 sizes, the iPod briefly displays the album art for ~10 sec max, followed by skipping to the next song and the same behavior all over again. Not sure if this is happening because the database might still be updating in the background.

[update 02]: issue seems solved: File transfer to the iPod should be done in disk mode of the iPod OS, otherwise songs will be corrupted.

Thanks everyone to contributing with your input!

Hi, want to buy some used hardware to run with Linux (Gnome DE ON Mint, Debian OR ElementaryOS). Mainly Office use, transcoding, but also for casual gaming Half-life 2 and maybe some more modern games.

Are Thinkpads with integrated GPUs sufficient for that? Any nice alternatives which are sturdy and can be upgraded?

TIA!

EDIT: thank you for all the helpful input. Will check AMD options!

 

Hi, I want to degoogle a Samsung Tablet I got. There is no LineageOS built out for this recent tablet, so I can only try to degoogle the stock ROM.

Any good guides to follow?

And further guides to remove the Samsung bloat? Thanks!
