Even this potato with 512MB of RAM runs a bunch of linux web services without issue.
I feel old...when I was learning how to run Linux I started with an old 386 (maybe 486?) my dad wasn't using. I think it had 32MB RAM, which was fancy for those machines.
We had dial up at the time, so only one machine could be on the Internet. So, I set up a modem on the x86, plugged into an Ethernet hub (switch?), and learned enough ipchains (this was before iptables) to share a connection. It also ran Samba, an AFP server, and probably FTP and HTTP (just for local access)
but it worked for filesharing.
It could also run MP3 streaming software which amused me because the machine itself was too slow to decode MP3 (but that's not necessary to stream).
Sorry for asking. I know this is unrelated but my RPI zero 2 chip cracked have you ever seen something like this before. It was used for mainsail os
Wow that looks dope. Have never seen anything like that even with much higher power chips. I assume it burned interally and the gas/heat pressure cracked it open.
I doubt it is OS related. This shouldnt be possible without custom firmware that turns off the power and temperature limits. Unless it had a manufacturing error i guess.
Is the broken chunk loose so you can tear it off?
It isn't completely loose it works I think as LEDs light up but it burns getting up to I would say ~80 C in about 3 seconds. I got a new one today and it works maybe I will attach a PC cooler to run it
You can easily run 2 of Windows Tiny11 builds on that.
https://windowsforum.com/threads/tiny11-run-windows-11-on-just-184-mb-of-ram.348835/
I've tried tiny11 3 times on 2 different laptops. Both were alright resources wise, but still worse than any Linux distro I've tried. After you install some stuff and get forced into the automatic updates, it bloats up fast and slows down drastically, and then just becomes standard windows 11.
If you use only the basic built in windows apps, which doesn't even include edge of the app store, and you use it without internet, sure, you can use it well on very low specs, but even on a moderately spec computer, it'll still slow down if you use it like the average person.
What weird forum is that? It looks like 90% of all posts, including the linked one, is written by ChatGPT.
Can't say I'm overly happy having this ai slop linked here.
At a glance, replies by ChatGPT to support questions look much more useful than whatever so-called certified professionals write on official MS support forums. Not that it is particularly hard.
Huh, it's also tagged as such. But my God is it vapid.
Technically M$ copilot.
What's more surprising to me, it seems to me that actual human users are also posting on that forum.
Yeah, but you can run 7 Debians on it without trying.
Pretty cool. If there was something between this and standard bloated Win 11, I would love that. It took me forever to uninstall/block half of the garbage that comes with the OS. It's gotten ridiculous. Tiny 11 sounds like it scrapes just a little too much.
Yeah, yeah, I have Linux on another machine, but there are a number of things that I'm not technically proficient enough to figure out on Linux. He'll, I'm still struggling to get Jellyfin to work remotely.
Windows 11 LTSC can be downloaded and then activated with a script from the same source.
This might be the in-between version you're looking for.
Remotely as in from another computer on the same network, or from another network? Cuz connecting from another network will take some extra steps (usually forwarding a port on your router). The Linux communities on here are pretty receptive to questions if youβre stuck, too
Both. I was pretty tired when I last checked. My initial YouTube search turned up a bunch of installing other apps. Setting a port number...sure, I can do that. Installing other apps and settings... That's a headache.
I'll make another attempt when I get the energy, but thanks for the direction.
The other apps (probably sonarr/radarr/jellyseer?) are for downloading content, for watching what you already have jellyfin alone will do the job. The only other one you might want is an avahi client, so that on the local network you can connect with [pcβs name].local:8096 instead of 192.168.0.whatever:8096.
Usually for jellyfin alone its enough to install it (from apt, assuming youβre on a Debian based distro), make it auto start with
sudo systemctl enable jellyfin, and then turn it on withsudo systemctl start jellyfin. That should be enough to see it running from your local network, although you might have to use your local ip if avahi isnβt on.Anyway no pressure to jump back into troubleshooting this, just wanted to say it so you donβt feel like whatever programs youtube was recommending are mandatory.
Thanks. I've got the content, so I'll have to putter around with a few commands. I would love to be done with Plex.
Yeah but that will not give you anything useful... Also Tiny11 is x86 only afaik.
It would give you access to every single Windows application that has a 32-bit version.
Which for being 2025 is still a huge margin.
