Mostly any games on a Commodore Vic-20 or C64
I do recall having an old TV console, ie Ping pong, etc, but, I wouldn't say that was as nostalgic as the later cassette games... the screaching sounds whilst loading (for minutes)... ahhh...

So, is that just a 'developer' component, or have I got to analyse all my systems now for the NPM components in the article's list?
You ought to see my car... they're all on the front of that one
Deep snow... like up past the hedges
Well...
TBH, I've not seen a battery bulge (in a tablet... seen plenty others...), but I do have a tablet which doesn't seem to hold it's charge as well as it used to.
So, have I done in-depth long-term testing... no.
Personally, I just got some of these USB switches and was more interested in whether I could control it easily (I could)
Re: LineageOS - yeah, I agree, if you can find the right tablet AND it's supported, then definitely flash it.
You might still need to download the latest webview component though.
If money's not a factor? Maybe a Linux Panel PC.
I've tried a few Lenovos and they seem ok - inc. the Lenovo Thinksmart discussed on the HA forum
All tablets have a quirk somewhere, but FullyKiosk does a good job - if the tablet is any good - so I recommend it. A colleague used something else.. I'll try to find out what it was.
Whatever you do get, if it has a battery, ensure you monitor it's battery and keep it somewhere between ~20% & ~80% with a smart power socket / USB relay
Based on your statement that you've only had this for a few months, my suggestion is to assume you'll want to change it in 1~2 years, so try cheap, named brand, 2nd hand ones from ebay until you get size and rotation right for how you use it.
My dashboard on the kitchen tablet is landscape, but portrait in the lounge (on the ThinkSmart on a coffee table) - both seemed too big initially, now they feel too small.
With respect, you wouldn't install these by just doing an update, so pacman -Syu is fine.
You would have needed to install these manually, or a package that depended on them - both from AUR - so you'd also need to use yay (etc) to install them.
But - I totally agree with your points that tge names look innocent enough for someone to install those over other packages.
Always look at the AUR (website) at the package details - if it's new(ish) and has 0 or 1 votes, then be suspicious.
Have a look at Patrick Kennedy's reviews on yoochoob under ServeTheHome - there's some fantastic hardware available now
I ended up buying something from AliExpress, which I was initially reluctant to do - but Patrick's reviews convinced me
For detailed reviews his site's got the details from the videos: https://www.servethehome.com/
It depends on the sync / backup software
Syncthing uses a stored list of hashes (which is why it takes a long time for the initial scan), then it can monitor filesystem activity for changes to know what to sync.
Rsync compares all source and destination files with some magical high speed algorithm
Then, backup software does... whatever.
Back in the day on FAT filesystems they used the archive bit on each file's metadata, which was (IIRC) set during a backup and reset with any writes to that file. The next backup could then just backup those files.
Your current strategy is ok - just doing an offline backup after a bulk update, maybe it's just making that more robust by automating it...?
I suspect you have quite a large archive as photos don't compress well, and +2TBs won't disappear with dedupe... so, it's mostly about long term archival rather than highly dynamic data changes.
So that +2TB... do you drop those files in amongst everything else, or do you have 2 separate locations ie, "My Photos" + "To Be Organised"?
Maybe only backup "MyPhotos" once a year / quarter (for example), but fully sync "To Be Organised"... then you've reduced risk, and volume of backup data...?
Yeah, I get that... I'd be the same
So... are you shutting down after x minutes, or, NUT's signalling to shutdown when the battery is getting low, which is x minutes. (If you see my point) - if the battery still has plenty of capacity, maybe extend the runtime and that might be enough to ride through at least some outages?
What's an average power outage duration?
I'd look at changing the shutdown command from shutdown to something like rtcwake -s 3600 to restart the server in ... 1 hour?
You will probably need to play with that command a bit, but I use it for my NAS to autostart at certain times of the day.
First holiday rental BBQ of the year.
These are always an adventure, broken legs, crumbling gas pipes, spiders and snails in all the crevices...
In this case, it's not too bad, just lit the fire so we'll see if it explodes / melts...
And... just burgers, sausages and halloumi for this one, nothing too adventurous

Glad to see focused development
I didn't know that the App could be a launcher, will have to check that out...
And I understand the treadmill of technology, but I suspect some of my tablets will now have to go to recycling if Android 6 is minimum spec... they still have good batteries π₯
