Phones sometimes will ignore your local DNS (if any) and still use whatever the vendor hardcoded.
For what it’s worth, this is mostly for security reasons - they’re using DNS-over-HTTPS so that the DNS requests are encrypted.

If you’re using the app on the phones, try the website instead?
Is it just Nextcloud having issues? Can you access other services on the Pi from the phones?
Your ps output doesn’t show systemd as running. The only output is the grep command itself.


If you want to play files over SMB, you can just open the SMB mount in the file explorer and double click it. On Windows you can mount it as a network drive (like V: for videos) so even non-technical users understand it. I don’t understand how mpv is easier for that use case.
With systems like Jellyfin and Plex, you can (and should!) turn off transcoding when streaming at home. The only times you should enable transcoding are when:
Transcoding is very useful, because otherwise you’d need multiple copies of the same movie to handle different environments. Transcoding can dynamically adjust the bitrate based on the connection speed.


Seems like BASIC but with different keywords :D
I like this part of the readme:
How to use
Please don’t.
I wasn’t familiar with the YouTuber since this was the only video of his I’ve ever seen. It came up in my recommendations one day.
If they want to try new distros, maybe try Fedora with KDE? Installing the Nvidia drivers isn’t too difficult.
For RTX 20 series and above, it’s recommended to use Nvidia’s open-source drivers. The instructions for how to switch on Fedora are here: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#Kernel_Open. Note that this is not Nouveau, which is a different open-source Nvidia driver not made by Nvidia themselves.
you can not properly control dependencies per project otherwise.
Says who? Use proto for your tooling (which lets you lock the version per project), and a lockfile for your app’s dependencies.
Devcontainers work fine without an immutable distro, too.


I wonder if Google will ever release a new version of the Coral, with some of the newer TPU tech.
(yes, I know Google handed that off to Asus…)
I remember watching a long YouTube video about someone trying to find the origin of this picture, but I can’t find it any more.
this is a quality post.


I’m 95% sure the settlement with the publishers would have included a clause requiring the Internet Archive to delete all “infringing” material in their possession.
Good idea.
My dishwasher has a built-in red LED at the bottom that shines onto the ground. It turns on when it starts, and turns off when it’s done. That’s been good enough for me. Yours is definitely fancier though!


I always use wireless charging, and have a silicone plug in my phone’s USB port to stop dirt getting in there. Very similar to these: https://a.co/d/aFWuSI3 (just standalone plugs with no adhesive). I see some in the photo with adhesive to stick them to the phone, but that seems like it’d look ugly.
In the rare case that I need to plug something into it, the port is completely clean.


I have mixed feelings. I’m glad they survived the lawsuits, and now they can spend their funding on their actual goals rather than it going towards lawyers.
On the other hand, it’s really sad that they had to delete so much of their archive - over half a million books, and a bunch of recordings from their Great 78 Project (which was archiving 300k+ music albums released between ~1900 and 1950). A lot of the things that can’t be archived are eventually going to become lost media.
Daylight saving (not “savings”) is good though. I wish it was daylight saving time year-round.


This is a great post that I hadn’t seen before. Thanks for the link!
Try install a web server like Nginx. I think the Raspberry Pi OS is based on Debian, so
sudo apt install nginxshould work. Then hit the Pi’s address (no port number needed) and it should show a default page.
