My first stab at running a git server was Gitlab CE (because I was using it at work.) I tried running it on an Atom based server with insufficient RAM and it just crawled. Page loads just timed out. I switched to Gitea and it was a breath o

Perhaps there's a similar site for 'ffmpeg'. The link you posted looks pretty helpful. I guess my needs for "interesting" git operations are low because I've never felt the need to move beyond the CLI. (Mostly,

This was covered in a recent podcast. Apparently TikTok classifies videos on many more factors than e.g. Youtube and other US companies. China can do this because they have a cheap pool of many users who can perform this activity. The podca

I recall a study that identified deer as a major predator of bird nests. I don't recall if it was eggs or young that they went after. I can't find a reference to the study at the moment.

I upgraded to Deco mesh (2 nodes) about a year ago. They perform well, but the settings have been dumbed down quite a bit. I'm using them as APs and have a small box running pfSense connected to my cable modem. The Deco AP should be un

With taller vehicles the headlights often start out higher off the ground. Even if aimed properly, that puts oncoming drivers in a brighter portion of the light as the distance closes.

I suspect that OP is describing the official IO Board which is a lot bigger than a credit card. There are carriers that are smaller than a credit card such as the Ether Board and Wavlink BiCool mini board.

I think it's highly dependent on the workload under test. The N100 includes Quick Sync (and the Pi 5 does not) so any processing that includes video transcoding will be a lot faster on the N100.
