The ones used for 4K recordings are not slow 100+MBps, I won't say prone to failure as such, flash storage can only handle a finite number of writes but we can mitigate that by using wear leveling.
I don't know if this is the better place to post this, but this is something annoying me in the fediverse, especially using/following Lemmmy and Mastodon profiles/communities....
First of all if you solve problems that means you know enough of the subject to reason out the solution, it may not be perfect but very few solutions are.
I have been working on legacy code and maintaining old c++ code for a decade (200.000 loc) and most of the time I had to spend days debugging and reading code just to understand enough to get a possible solution, and then I still end up writing a solution that breaks in a different corner case that I never could have imagined.
So yes most of the time you feel like you don't know anything, but over time you end up knowing a lot of how that codebase works. And after two years you must have picked up something about what you are working on.
Then you have those programming language genius colleagues, that know all the tips and tricks of a language, I use them to get ideas on solutions, because they always have an opinion on what is the "right" way of doing stuff.
I meant to write 3.5" floppy drives, and yes the 3.5" and 2.5" form factors are still going strong, even if the NVMe's probably will reduce the use of 2.5"

Using a raspberry pi seems very underpowered, best case you will be limited to something like 4-7B models on a 8GB RPi4. You may need to configure it with very long timeouts and expect it to output something like a token every few minutes.
I ran a 6B model on a i7 without a GPU and it didn't give good results before I got CUDA up and running. Probably because of timeout.
When the update happened, The version of Jerboa in the app store and fdroid was not compatible with the 0.19 changes as you could not sign in, so I just switched to Eternity (which seemed to handle 0.19 better) instead of looking for a RC version of Jerboa.
Edit: There are no problems with the current version of Jerboa (0.0.55) and Lemmy 0.19.2, just to make things clear.

So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....
Same here, I never touch the provided router just connect my own pfsense box and if I want to access my local server I use my VPS. I have set it up so the home server does SSH forwarding over VPN to the VPS, my setup it’s a bit slow but it does the job.
My understanding of the history of fashion is that back in the 1950s America it was expected that you wore a suit/dress at work unless you had a different uniform. There were a bunch of very boring people who thought that we should be wearing office job garb all the time, because they wore suits so much it was their default...
So I jumped ship from Windows to Kubuntu last night, and It’s mostly been pretty good. However my general performance of the computer has been abysmal.

Sorry I should have started my comment with a disclaimer that I absolutely know it’s a software problem but. It’s always prudent to ensure against crud buildup inside the computer.

For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?
Yep that’s also how I set it up, it boots up in RetroPi and then you can start Kodi from there, but now I mostly boot up on the MPD SD card instead. I have also configured it to be a Bluetooth speaker, so I can attach the phone.
I couldn’t find a simple plug and play solution, so it took several tries to find the right guides, especially because raspbian have changed their Bluetooth/audio setup, so the old guides don’t work.
The solution I found uses a script/daemon that sets up the speaker and waits for Bluetooth connections.
