I was fiddeling with my Raspberry Pi 4 but decided to buy a refurbished Dell Wyse Thin Client 5070. It cost like 70€, I put DietPi on it because I love it, plugged an external drive and I’m very happy with the experience.

Synching is incredibly useful, my list of synced folders keeps getting longer, my list of added devices keeps growing. I pray the never drop android support!

I again want to recommend DietPi. Installing software like NextCloud from it is as easy as choosing it from a menu and hitting enter.

Yeah, if the software is supported and your hardware is sufficient. I don’t run home automation so I don’t know. But evcc works great!

Agreed. The tagline “lightweight justice” always sounded strange to me as well. They could definitely go with a friendlier, more mainstream design.

I use Syncthing to sync DCIM and Pictures folders from Android to my computer. Every six month or so, I move pictures from these folder to the folder for this years pictures: home/pictures/2025. So they disappear from my phone as well, which is great to free up space. This works great for me.

Writing this from a degoogled Pixel 4a bought second hand for 80 bucks a couple years ago. Great camera, enough storage, fingerprint sensor, headphone jack, fits in hand and pocket. This thing is close to perfect, new phones are scam.

I’ll once again post this, keep swiping

Say the word!

I recommend SLDL, it takes some nerves to set up but then it reads Spotify-playlists and batch downloads them from Soulseek.
