That way apps can work for most OS's and it would be possible to do more than browser-based stuff with Node.js.<br/> <br/> Of course the chosen tech stack has a big influence over the app store since it's ...

<t>This seems a bit pointless. For a start, the R-Pi runs different operating systems depending on the user choice. It's not like an android phone. Different apps have to be compiled differently depending on the operating system they are to run on.<br/> <br/> Also, Debian/Fedora and pretty much ever...

<t>I think you're being a bit ambitious here. Using the R-Pi as a steaming/PHP/NAS server = fine. Using it as a media-player on your projector to play video files from a network = fine. Doing both together will probably be dog-slow! You could buy two. Or you could buy one to use for the server/strea...

<t>Grumpyoldgit said:<br/> <br/> <br/> I'm not sure why you are complicating matters by having multiple operating systems writing to a single partition on a separate stick or why you thought that was better than leaving the images alone. My initial thoughts are that you will have the wrong card in a...

<t>XAPBob said: <br/> <br/> <br/> On more powerful machines I've seen people set up a ram disk (i.e. dedicate some RAM as an ultrafast disk partition) which is then compressed and used as swap space.<br/> <br/> That increases the total memory available, at a much lower latency than disks (at the tim...

<t>I was planning on having an 8GB USB key plugged in permanently. I've made a 1GB swap partition on that so whichever SD card I have plugged in to my PI (I have three), they can use it. USB must be faster than USB for read-write - especially as it's a separate device. When preparing my SD cards I d...

In order to ensure that the R-Pi doesn"t short on the case, I"m going to adhere 2mm thick acrylic sheet, cut to the same size as the board on to the base of the case using 2-pack epoxy. The R-Pi will then...

<t>cphels said: <br/> <br/> <br/> So by letting the Sugru cure while in contact with Saran wrap, the end result will be a permanently non-stick area even after I remove the wrap? Also, what types of material will Sugru stick to in a normal state? I"m looking at using poly carbonate for the base and ...

<t>Problem with stuff like that or using a glue gun (the budget option) is that it's pretty much permanent and hard to remove the board if you want to. I wish there were mounting holes, it would make true DIY cases that don't involve 3D-printers much easier.<br/> <br/> I'm thinking of using rubber p...
