Linux@programming.dev•Is an old raspberry pi useful for anything based on Linux?English
2·15 days agoYeah, I remember having a full desktop to show videos back in the day(like pre-2005ish). I knew it was more powerful than it seemed but it appears I underestimated it.

1·16 days agoOut of curiosity, I discovered there were other isos on the SD card I could install but the “noob” installer took literally hours to initialize, is that a sign the SD card is going bad?

2·16 days agoI’ll have to see if I have a way to flash a micro SD to do that

2·16 days agoWow, I didn’t think it would be able to do that much. What “personal things” are you talking about? Storing files? Personal email? Video server? Actually using it as a personal computer? Don’t have to say what exactly it is just a rough idea would be nice.

3·16 days agoWould I be able to run a gui remotely from a Windows pc? I have extra monitors(yes kinda a tech hoarder) but don’t have space to setup another full setup. It has raspbian installed(or the pi-hole version they used to have), will have to guess on the password but I think I remember it.
My initial plan was to remotely access it via ssh with putty on the windows system.
Long story, my shield decided to have its network die. I reset it. I replaced the network cable and changed ethernet ports on router but nothing would work (wasn’t even getting the lights on the ports). I didn’t know if it was the shield or the router so I found the pi and plugged it in. Network immediately worked so I know it’s the shield. I was able to find an old Asus nexus Google TV box which “solved” the shield and was thinking of using the pi for something other than just sitting in a box under a bunch of wires.

5·16 days agoI’ll have to check out the ram. I know it boots and network and hdmi work but will have to dig out a spare keyboard to try to log in and see what it can do

1·17 days agoWhy did you have multiple copies of the same song and artist? Only reason I can think of is like jam band concert versions but i would assume it would be like artist - song - year. Mp3 in that case

1·17 days agoWhy would you have 2 files with the exact same name? Windows can’t even handle that if in the same folder and I would assume Spotify just dumps all files into a folder hence why it didn’t work.

1·17 days agoI was thinking more scrapping off a browser, like using selenium. I haven’t checked in a while but previously almost every element on a Google page had randomly generated id/names so you couldn’t like automatically select the input box, type in a few terms and then click on the search button. If you got all the id’s and tried, on the next loading of the page all the id’s would be different.

3·18 days agoAh ok… That makes sense. I was thinking like generate a stream of data, data comes in some format like (string dataType, float dataValue) and a switch like case int{do this} case string {do that} then get new data and repeat while(true).
If it only was calculating based on the test case yeah that’s bad.
I told this before but I had a project which had an xml configuration of many sections each targeting something different. I wanted each section as an object. This was a system of many combined systems like one dmm, one custom automated shield box, one bluetooth tester, etc. Each needed specific data to connect to it and configure it for the tests we wanted to run. This was all I needed in the xml file.
So I coded 1 function to read 1 section of the xml file and map it to an class object. I then copied that into Ai, copied configuration file into Ai, and told it to replicate it for each section. That worked. I think Ai can be used in specific circumstances where you are doing like repeated operations but it gets grossly overused. You also have to know the domain and the language to understand what it’s doing.
Another example is I was asked to make a sql query which was basically a join(serial number and test guid in one table, test guid and test results in another table and only given serial number). My boss sent me a list of like 150 serial numbers separated by spaces over teams. I wrote the query for the first one and told the Ai to replicate it on the other serial numbers. Yes I could of gone through the list, backspace the space, add common, press enter and repeat. I knew how the query worked. I know the domain I was working in. The Ai output was basically the same as my original just with more serial numbers in the where clause.

Wait… Isn’t that bad… Going from 10:1 to 60:1???
