Adding on, the AirPlay 2 implementation by Shairport-sync works very well. I have approximately 6 different Rpis/thin clients around the house I use as AirPlay 2 receivers and can …

Strong seconding here. I have a low voice that doesn’t travel well in noisy environments. It’s pretty tiring having to shout an entire night out just to converse across the table.

Or Dell thin clients. Despite some oddities with the Cherry Trail (?) boards used on the Wyse 3040 series, they are x86 and have similar processing power to the Rpi4. They come wit…

As a related tangent, Vogel (and Spiderweb Software) were responsible for many enjoyable hours in my youth playing through Exile III and Blades of Exile. I appreciate the world bui…

Apparently (from my colleagues) even the CIS Level 1 benchmark for Windows Server doesn’t actually recommend disabling the print spooler service by default, but that seems to be th…

A couple uses, but the primary purpose is as a VM host and file server. Hyper-V for the VMs, and Storage Spaces with ReFS for the storage. My current build uses a core i5-4570s, bu…

As someone who is fascinated by articles like this one, but doesn't have a background in CE/EE, any recommendations for literature/classes I could take so that I can better underst…

That's not progressive enhancement, it's lazy loading. Progressive enhancement would be making all of the content visible and accessible, then adding functionality on top after the…

I picked one up on eBay [0] that is currently in transit to my apartment. Manual focus, somewhat garish looking and with probably crummy resolution, but I'm willing to try it for $…

There are a few projects out there [0][1] that make it fairly simple to set up a motion detection capable solution with a simple USB webcam. I'm currently waiting on a cheap infrar…
