I believe playing with visibility would be the easiest way

Yeah, I was also wondering about the transcoding. And thanks for the power draw comment, great to know. Sounds manageable.

I still think you should give this one a try. Unless, you’re goal is not like having an actual solution, but doing this project as a hobby, and throwing some money at it. Which is also fine, I’ve done the same before.

Testing one or two of these media severs will cost you some hours of your time. Anything other will take much more time, effort and money.

Peripherals are one thing, handling concurrent streams, transcoding… is another one.

So in theory, a Pi can be kept alive with a power bank, but OP is expecting (as I understood) multiple hours of streaming (with “local” only access) , which includes the above tasks for multiple concurrent streams. How big of a power bank we’re talking about and how long will it last?

As others already wrote, I would go with the Plex server at home and using the “Download” feature to have some content available offline for the times you don’t have internet. You can actually set a limit for the size of the download library and individually set video and audio quality for the files.

Seen raspberry pi mentioned some times, I don’t have one, so maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think there would be an easy way to power it up on a train for example.

It might be the remastered version. I get your point, and the graphics in AW2 were top notch, but as someone who’s not a huge fan of the horror genre, I kind of felt nostalgic for the original game. Wasn’t that frightening 😀

Can confirm, seen it live. As soon as LogSeq was open on both devices it threw an error.

Inception. I actually slept through it 2 times, so maybe I do have some connection with the movie :D I liked the visuals and the music, but I couldn’t get on with the story, it felt too complicated/boring to me.

Just from Google Photos or IRL? 😀

The main takeaway for termux users: if you have it installed from GitHub/F-droid, be sure not to update the app from the Play Store in the coming days/weeks as versioning hasn’t been significantly changed for that release yet.

None of these feel like essential feature for me, I’ll be still more happy using a custom ROM.

That’s the only good thing in this story. It usually gets ugly when guns are also involved.

Do you see where I’m going here, or do I have to involve it in my story for you to see?

Totally get your point, and this is the logical way to think about it, but I’m not sure what decision I would make when I don’t have the time to think through.

Also, I don’t think we can be sure that this store policy is not about guns, at least in part. I’m not from the States, but when there’s the implication of more people seriously hurt in public, in the USA, that’s where my mind is.

I feel like OP did the right thing by heart, and this story would have had a different ending in a country with different gun laws and history of gun violence. Also if the case really is OP was let go to show others that they should not engage in this “reckless behaviour” I feel it at least it should have been communicated as such when fired.

I have just tried it out for a quite limited time, but ente also looks great.

Definitely not on the cheap side, but maybe you won’t find one: the Hue ecosystem works quite fine for me for years now. I’m just setting up motion sensor and light on the bridge and then they are also discoverable by HA and then setting up automation inside HA. It would work the same with Hue power switch.

Once again, this is more pricey solution, but I’m also building my system gradually, so it’s manageable.
