i have the same problem. exactly which benfei adapter did you use? (i kind of hate display port. :) how did this become the new standard for graphics cards and monitors? if you have a multi-monitor setup on your pc and switch off one monitor because you sometimes don't need it, is it normal that win...

spock

i did something like that with vlc. gstreamer was too complicated for me.

maybe i can find an example tomorrow...

spock

you could use openscad or blender 2.79b (not exactly a CAD program but can be used like one in many cases),... both are in the raspbian repository.

(unfortunately freecad always crashes on a raspberry pi.)

spock

it's easy to miss such things in the blog though. maybe you could do a raspbian release notes page. Boggle... I at least read the title of new blog posts every day. If it's about a release (or anything else I might be interested in), I read the whole post. The blog is probably the best place to ann...

Read only file systems can be selected using Raspi configuration utility - see Performance tab. Overlay filesystem is a read only SD filesystem, but with a ramfs overlay over the top - so you can make changes in the ram disk, but they are never stored to SD card. This can turned on or off at any ti...

i would like to see built-in window snapping features on the raspbian desktop. like snap to the left half, or the right half,... maybe configurable zones like in windows with fancyzones (powertoys). Please no, I dislike how Windows does it. its maddening to be trying to resize a window only to have...

maybe openscad?

yes, it would be nice if this could be added to the raspbian desktop.

a while ago i came across a tutorial about how this can be set up with lxde but back then i didn't test it and now i don't find it anymore.

spock

yes, but all my current sdcards are way to big and then i always would have on my mind: what a waste!

spock

thanks!
hm... i haven't thought of that.
i would have liked to get rid of the sdcard but after thinking a bit about it... actually it doesn't really matter that much.

edit: probably later (once usb booting is supported) the boot partition also could be set up on the ssd manually somehow?

spock

once the raspberry pi 4 gets the usb booting feature finished, i would like to use it with a spare 500gb ssd i have lying around. this ssd has multiple ext4 partitions and i would like to install raspbian to the first one without deleting the others. is this possible somehow? (since raspbian usually...

why not scale them? for movies this shouldn't be noticeable.

spock

on windows i also like rufus best.

also it's like 100 times smaller than etcher.

isn't etcher just a 100mb electron gui for a command line tool?

spock

if you buy a domain you could also use cloudflare. they have an api that can be used to update your ip.

spock

I think that if you want publicly facing servers that are running all that junk and you are worried about the safety of your local LAN then you should not have the servers on your local LAN. Separate them. Use firewalls. yes, i will look into setting up two separate networks and firewalls. as far a...

spock

i also would like to run a webserver with similar services. actually it already runs nicely on the local network. i am wondering... how dangerous is it, if i make it accessible from the internet with port forwarding? :) what do i have to look out for? the stuff on the webserver itself isn't that cri...

spock

I would disagree! Who needs to cameras would be my question to you! Yes, there are two HDMI connectors, but the DSI 7in has touch input which is not available via HDMI. i would have many ideas for two cameras. 3D or 360° movie captures, surveillance like the original poster,... there are many displ...

spock

the rpi3 (and even rpi4) only supports one pi camera module. the compute module (+ compute module io board) supports two pi camera modules... so you would have to use an usb camera as a second camera or use the compute module. edit: i would prefer if the normal raspberry pi 4 had 2 CSI connectors an...

spock

what i didn't expect at all are the two hdmi outputs. that's so awesome! :) and i didn't expect a more expensive 4gb model. i thought they would wait until 4gb is cheap enough to meet the old price point. it's nicer to have the options though. :) the rest is pretty much what i expected and i have a ...

Functionally, eMMC is identical to SD cards (same bus protocol) it's just soldered to board, instead of being in a slot.

how is soldering on flash memory a good idea? sounds horrible to me if you have to throw away your computer just because the flash chip had too many rewrites.

VirtualBox and Blender3D require x86 CPU Architecture. blender runs fine on a rasberry pi 3 with the opengl driver activated and it even is in the raspbian repository. (i just needed to change some settings regarding the opengl selection method in blender's preferences.) on a raspberry pi 4 it shou...

it still doesn't work for me. i am using the CLI. if start omxplayer directly from the command prompt it works. but if i start it from a .sh script (i noticed it doesn't only happen if i put it into .profile) then it doesn't react to any keyboard presses. i have to reset the pi afterwards. does nobo...
