What's the best SD card for a RasPi 5?
>>
>>718 Sandisk is what I use. Use a micro SD card with at least 8GB, maybe even 16GB storage space to avoid it bricking itself after a year due to not being able to allocate bad sectors.
>>
>>12 my Pi 4 sits next to my desktop and plays downloaded Youtube videos and music it also does a handful of LAN web things like running a few local instances of some web applications (in particular, poti-board for oekaki!) and SMB and the lot it's very useful having another computer next to your actual computer, although I do want a Pi 5 since doing web browsing anything is unbearably slow (although I don't expect a major performance bump) >>718 using an SD card with a Pi is probably a bad idea if your use case can boot from USB running over a cheap SSD over USB with a SATA-USB cable has been way, way, way better, just head and shoulders faster if you do need an SD for your specific use case, prioritize speed and then size a too slow SD card on a Pi 4 or 5 will cause extremely painful UI stalls, found that out when moving my old Pi 2 card to a 4 and although technically everything was faster when you measured the times, the UI was vastly less responsive while a too small one will absolutely brick itself since you need some buffer space to spread out writes, and a boot drive will absolutely be hammered by regular writes

mp3 player Anonymous 09/08/2024 (Sun) 09:34:25 No. 742 [Reply] [Last]
I want to buy an mp3 player but I don't know which one is the best, so I'm asking you to help me choose one, please. I found this: https://www.amazon.fr/AGPTEK-Bluetooth-Enregistreur-Supporter-T%C3%A9l%C3%A9phone/dp/B0CKV9HDP2/ but I don't know if its true or false. xhat do you think of it?

>>809 For most of the older players it's super easy because there's a special utility for it. For the Eros Q it's a bit harder but it's nothing you won't be able to do if you're on this board I think. There are clear instructions as well.
>>
>>8080 ok thanks
>>
>>810 The reason it's harder is because they haven't implemented support for it in the utility by the way, so you have to do it manually. It's not like it's inherently harder, the port is just not considered "stable" yet, even though it's very useful and has been so for a while. I think a big reason why it's considered unstable is because there's no support for Bluetooth yet despite the player having that, but there's no such support in Rockbox at all.

I got reminded of those 'plug and play' MP3 Players USB that you connected to any pc, drag the files and disconnect. Sometimes i think of getting one of those again because having my phone on the streets is a mayor danger to me lol

>>708 >Privacy and Data issues That was part of the reasons why I never upgraded my PC to Windows 10 or 11. I was a main Windows 7 user until 2023 for Linux Mint as my first distro. The first week of Linux was painful due to poor knowledge and fear of not reaching my standard about Linux. After that, I'm very satisfied with it and I'm glad that I did not went to use newer Windows.

>>734 Pure facts. Librebooted tards are psychotic, because using librebooted thinkpad is overkill for buying their acid. Even if you're using windows 11 they probably don't know anything about you except a few basic obvious things that can be sold to advertiser.

What is the main advantage of Gentoo ? In your opinion, what are the main advantages over Debian or Arch-based systems?
>>
it is source-based. in my experience this means mainly three things: - if something breaks or doesn't compile I can fix it myself without having to search internet forums and such - I can set compilation flags to adapt programs to my needs and environment - it is easier to create and maintain my own packages for the package manager I use it mostly for Recreational Programming, I often browse github for libraries for my projects and most of the time they aren't popular enough to be in the package repository of any distro. with gentoo I can write an ebuild and have the library installed and maintained by the package manager in less than 5 minutes it fits my use-case well but I don't know if I would recommend it to other people. it isn't hard but you need some experience with c/c++ toolchains, autotools and cmake for it to be anything more than just another distro with less support than debian now that I think about it, one notable thing is that gentoo doesn't do stuff behind your back so to speak, so there aren't as many opportunities for things to break unexpectedly. I guess that can be a plus even for inexperienced users
>>
and yes, I'm too dumb and lazy to learn nix/guix
>>
>>694 Advantages? No. There is none. I've spent one entire year with Gentoo and three months with Funtoo, and, these two are simply distros for enthusiasts. That's it. Don't get me wrong, Portage is a good package manager, but you'll probably spend a lot of time with it, and it's just not worthy.

>>728 debian uses binary packages, right? based on my brief experience with debian I would guess you have to first create the packages and then add them to a local repository (this is, a local list of packages) >compile and "install" the package to a $dummy dir (I think cmake has flags to do this, similar to --prefix with ./configure) >mkdir -p $dummy/debian; nano $dummy/debian/control (https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#debian-binary-package-control-files-debian-control) >dpkg-deb -b $dummy this will create a .deb for $dummy with the files that make install (or cmake install) would normally add to your /usr/local then you create a local repository in the arbitrary dir $lrep >mkdir $lrep >cd $lrep >cp -r dir/with/deb_files/* . >dpkg-scanpackages . > Packages >echo "deb [trusted=yes] file:/path/to/$lrep /" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lrep.list replace $dummy with the name of your package and $lrep with the name of your local repository (same with /path/to/$lrep). here is an example of a debian control file https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/pkg-basics.en.html#controlfile notice that the only required fields are package, version, architecture, maintainer and description
>>
>>
>>730 what do you mean?
>>
>>731 There's so much info about packaging. I want to 1. git pull/wget the source code of the release I want to compile 2. run magick.sh that will make me a package 3. apt install it I could implement all that but I lack mental capacity to comprehend all the documentation right now
>>
>>732 without getting into source-based packages that sounds easy to automate in a very crude way, you don't really need debmake or debuild, just have a script download and untar the release, compile and install to a prefix, add the debian control file, generate the .deb, move it to your local repository, and update it's metadata the only problem with this approach is dependency detection, but considering you are already compiling the software, I assume you have the dependencies anyways. it is a bad practice but you can list the dependencies later I guess

Does anyone know how I might get into learning C? I want to make a simple RPG to play in my terminal but I don't know a lick of programming...
1 post omitted.
>>
>>711 Literally just write a program and you will learn by googling syntax If you are on linux you likely have a preinstalled resource for the stdlib (ew) and (most) linux interfaces >rpg puts() is as good as any high-level shitlang.
>>
>>711 "Modern C" by Jens Gustedt is more or less the default C beginner book. There is a CC version (https://inria.hal.science/hal-02383654/file/ModernC.pdf) so you don't even need to libgen it. >a simple RPG to play in my terminal Elaborate?
>>
>>711 Anon we all start somewhere and it's okay to start with a scripting language like Python. Learn enough Python to build your simple game then move on if you feel like it. No need to commit to one language for all time. Sorry this didn't really answer your question. >>716 This is good advice for your 2nd language but if you don't know how to program at all you'll need some guidance to get started.
>>
>>716 >puts() is as good as any high-level shitlang. I think OP wanted to make something like nethack and not 100% text, but I could be interpreting it wrong. In that case I recommend looking into (n)curses, however it WILL be very frustating, as there is little documentation, but it is doable. Just make sure to gather some more programming experience and keeping this on your backlog, before starting with it, as it's a bit advanced. >>721 As this anon, said, you probably should start with an easier language first. Sure, you can try C, but it will much likely be frustrating and not very fun. Ncurses bindings exist for Python as well, so you can make your terminal RPG with that too. See here: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/curses.html For learning Python just pick up some book from the last 10 years about the language (it's important that it is Python 3 and not Python 2.7) and read through it. The book or course or video playlist doesn't matter as much, as does practice. It's important you try as much stuff out as possible, so you make mistakes and learn from them, but also because you'll gain an understanding of programming overall. If you don't know which book to choose, just try this: https://libgen.rs/book/index.php?md5=922B856D66574746B69EC69E67C20A17 In case you don't like authors writing style, the examples or find it otherwise not helpful, just search through libgen with keywords such as "Python programming", "Learn Python" or "Python Course"

Just use haskell people seem to have a very wrong opinion on it. It's super easy to use and it's extremely fast out of the box, almost on par with C, only 5% slower at most!
