Took a little while, but my "obsolete" 14yo #MacMini is now running #Linux #Ubuntu Server! #Shinobi is installed as a standalone and #Jellyfin in a #Docker container. Once my 1st #RTSP cam arrives I'll add it and start experimenting, but for the time being everything seems to be working well thru the web UIs.
I also ordered a small SSD for my #RaspberryPi where #HomeAssistant is running, and a larger #SATA drive for #Shinobi, as well as a #UPS.
Still need to fix some #HA integrations 🙃
Leider hat selbst #Debian das Ende für 32 bit CPUs angekündigt. Damit laufen demnächst (#Bookworm EOL am 10.6.) nur noch Geräte ab 2008/2009 sowie #raspberrypi ab Modell 3 sicher im Internet.
Wofür man neuere Geräte benötigt:
- Grafik- und Videobearbeitung
- Spiele (3D und/oder Online)
- Programmierung
On the PS2, network I/O isn't something games are expecting. OPL adds extraneous code to intercept R/W operations and that has consequences.
The game might get too fast or too slow reads, maybe competing for resources at unfortunate times.
For that OPL gives you "modes" — e.g. "Mode 2" makes reads synchronous. A given combination of modes may fix or cause issues, depending on the game and your setup. More trial-and-error... 😕

Even if SMB is the best option to run games on my PS2, tuning it is still a dark art. 🧙♂️
One of the issues is getting the best performance out of Samba given the limitations of SMBv1 and the Pi hardware, where the ethernet interface hangs off USB.
There's a lot of tuning suggestions out there, often without any explanation. After a lot of trial-and-error, this what I got:

It even fixes FMV stuttering in WipEout Fusion... 👏

Behold, this is my king of junk boxes, a plywood enclosure held together only by staples and hot glue, containing 10 commodity SSD drives and a USB 3 HUB, all forming a 4TB data array of mergerfs on top of snapraid.
Endlessly proud of how it turned out. So far the temperature and SMART data are good.

On this day, in 2013, I booted a Pi for the first time. At the time, they were not available in Canada. I had to order from Newark US and pay customs. I'm pretty sure not many Canadians had heard of the Raspberry Pi at that time.

What's everyone using to do GUIs with buttons and triggers nowadays on the #RaspberryPi? (Not web-based actual GUI app on the Pi) Is it QT or something?
