You’re technically correct, but missing my point.

Yes, it’s both ‘a cloud’ but a VPS is much cheaper and needs way less configuration compared to a so-called ‘cloud provider’ like AWS, Azure or Alphabet (or other companies starting with the letter A, I guess).

No. You see, it’s much easier doing the same thing in some cloud like aws and paying a small fortune for a slower server than on a vps.

This looks cool. If a friend asks me, how to deploy the stack, I’ll refer them to this. Good work.

You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000.

“Sir, what are your thoughts on the current situation in the middle east?”

Apache has the better open source tooling IMO.

I use both, but at work I prefer apache simply for its relative ease of setting up our SSO solution. There is probably a tool for that in nginx as well, but its either proprietary or hard to find (and I did try to find it, but setting up and learning apache and then SSO was actually easier for me).

I use fish, but sometimes it acts weird. And lots of “just copy and past this command” kind of online solutions I have to put into bash.

My main irk is when I want to forward a ‘*’ to a program but have to escape it.

Yeah, but they can be bought in non-repeqting patterns.

That’s great actually.

Then I would suggest using used thin clients. They cost around 50€ each, maybe less. You can install a Linux on there and remotely manage them then. They are quiet, small, not energy intensive and mostly have an x86_64 CPU, so software is also not an issue.

They also mostly have HDMI so connecting is not an issue either. If you still buy a Bluetooth remote, they can be handled without a mouse.

Software wise I am not well versed with google slides, but you can probably use kiosk mode in Firefox or chrome and just have the main page with the slides as chosen website.

Okay, let me get your current setup/needs right:

You have multiple rooms with dedicated Raspberry Pis, that each run PiSignage to display automatically forwarding (google) slideshows.

You now want to minimally change this setup to allow people to manually forward slides.

This begs some questions:

1. How are the slides selected/uploaded?
2. How are the slides forwarded?
3. How does the setup know if it’s an automated slide or not?

In my head the new setup would look something like this:

The Pis stay, as does PiSignage.
A device is added to forward slides (most likely a Bluetooth remote)

Here is where it gets tricky.

On remote press, a menu could be opened, to select uploaded slides and display them via other means than PiSignage. Closing this slide opens PiSignage again.

But having this easily maintainable is tricky and it will get hacky and people will forget closing their slide and so on.

Alternatively USB-sticks could be used.
Inserting one opens the folder, a slide can be selected with the remote and removing the stick opens PiSignage.

Both methods are hacky and not easily maintainable. But I can not think of other means.

Also I think that you should first think about some means of uploading and selecting slides as well as whether you even want to keep using PiSignage.

The gearwheel on the bottom right has options for language and resolution.

Down detector does apparently not work for Annas Archive. The site itself works for me, but down detector shows it’s down.

Maybe change your DNS and try again.

If I remember correctly, then C doesn’t support all architectures that rust supports (and vice versa).

Person in the picture looks like something that would come out, if a man and a woman had a child…

People like this will have to run updatedb every time, when they search for stuff.

(What’s a cronjob?)

Not safe for Wheat?

No, more like Navidrome. Jellyfin is more like Nexflix+, I think.

This is also in part true.
Today I was searching for multiple things regarding jinja2 and was always recommended a site that no longer exists, as top result, mind you.

No they didn’t and they still don’t really do that.

There are too many things (nowadays?) where you have to literally write a question on reddit, stack overflow or Lemmy or the likes and explain your situation in minute detail, because what you find online through search engines is only the standard case which just so happens to not work for you for some odd reason.

Believe me, when I say that, because I always try search engines first, second and third, before even thinking of using some bs-spitting AI, but it really helped me with two very special problems in the last month.

I don’t know it for sure, but I understood that the Germans built a robot capable of withstanding the propaganda number not explicitly for the Russians. It just happens to withstand those, but not the real numbers…
