Behind search for masto is a resource-hungry #java application called #elasticSearch. Sure you might be able to get Masto to run on a #raspberrypi4, but you won't be running elastic search with it.
Having recently moved my instance to a much more powerful system, I now run ES, and WOW what a difference being able to search post makes! Soooo many times I wanted to reference a toot that had scrolled by but had no way of finding it. Now I do!
Even though I've put some serious resource limits on ES, it's bar none the most resource intensive service running (out of around 25).
Please consider sending a few bucks to the #MastodonAdmin of your instance. Better yet, if you can afford it, sign up for a monthly donation. They need it.
J'adore quand un plan se déroule sans accroc. Ou presque. Puis j'ai migré ma liste de disques de mon NAS à mon #RaspberryPi4, je ne pouvais plus scanner ma librairie iTunes sur mon NAS. Et puis, l'éclair de génie : suffit d'accéder à la BDD sur le Pi4 depuis le NAS ! Assez simple en fin de compte, juste les règles du firewall à modifier et hop, fait.

After some more debugging, here are two videos proving that #gtk4 / #GStreamer video playback with fullscreen GL/VK overlay works on a #RaspberryPi4 and #PinebookPro / #rk3399 on #weston / #Wayland, each maxing out their video decoders with 1080p@60 and 4k@60 respectively.
The message here is: no matter what hardware - if you want to make a video/camera app that needs to be highly efficient, you can do it with a proper, yet still lightweight toolkit now. No need for a custom kms/drm backend.
The obvious use-case would be video player, multimedia centers and video-chat software.
But there's more: let's say you want to build a FLOSS drone operator software that runs on a dedicated tablet - but can also be used on any laptop, just on the desktop? Some camera software that displays extra info like the temperature over the video? You'll probably want to use #GStreamer / #PipeWire anyway - #gtk4 can now be a pretty decent frontend, on some embedded device just like on the desktop :)
One more thing probably worth mentioning: there's not really anything special happening here from a technical side - it's just that we haven't plugged things together like that before in the #Wayland space. Thus there's bugs and small issues all over the place. But by ironing them out, it should become much easier for other toolkits, apps & compositors support the same. I.e. make #Wayland the central display platform for #linux and get over the whole X11 and native drm backend legacy.
@paoloredaelli I’ve been running a GoToSocial instance and it’s super stable. I think it would work on either, I run it on a RPi 4gb. It’s just me on the instance tho.
Oh boy! It's been a weird battle, but I've finally got my #raspberrypi4 running #jellyfin smoothly. I had some trouble with permissions, mounting drives on startup and more. Then when I solved that (thank you various resources online) I had power draw issues from dual external drives connected to the pi. Eventually got it to a point where it got all ironed out and I swapped the dual (2TB) drives for a single 4TB self powered drive and all is well.
@hush404 same. I gave Plex a very short spin, but I found the "get Plex Premium" banners everywhere very intrusive. Also, after taking a quick look at what's locked behind the Premium gate, I found that there's nothing I would ever spend money for.
I've heard people say that Jellyfin is missing some features and that might very well be, but so far I haven't found anything that I miss. 🙂
Hâte de recevoir mon #RaspberryPi5. Sachant que mon #RaspberryPi4 sous @ManjaroLinuxARM fait un ordinateur bureautique généraliste très utilisable (mais lent), je me dis que le 5 - CPU 2 à 3 fois plus rapide, double de RAM, accès carte SD beaucoup plus rapide - va être PARFAIT !
@dilettante Pour le Raspberry Pi il y a des distributions spéciales rétrogaming (mais je ne les utilise pas donc je n'ai pas d'avis).
L'initérêt est que l'OS résidant sur une carte SD très facile à remplacer, on peut très bien avoir une carte SD avec un OS généraliste et une autre avec un OS retrogaming par exemple...
I've been thinking about getting a #RaspberryPi4 for ages but decided to hold out for a #RaspberryPi5 instead. I had a whole plan for what case and SSD to buy etc. but now that the #Pi5 is around the corner, it looks like most of the stuff I would've gotten isn't compatible with the new board.
Can anyone more experienced in the #Pi world give me a general idea of how long I'll be waiting before things like the #ArgonOne case get a Pi5 variant?
@SteamPumkin@Raspberry_Pi It might we worth keeping an eye on Kickstarter, Argon initially launched the EON and ONE cases there. To get myself started I’ve just pre-order the #RaspberryPi 5 with the £5 “Active Cooler for Raspberry Pi 5”. With the improved USB3 performance you can initially attach SSD through USB3. I might then move to a neater “one box” setup when I see what cases become available. This should also minimise wasting too much cash
