I really gave the orange pi the ol’ college try. Now that I think about it, there was a single OS that sorta worked well on it. But unfortunately it was a weird fork of ubuntu supported by a single dude and I didn’t want the future of my device by on one guy’s shoulders.
What wrong did the pi foundation do again?
oh man, I tried an orangepi and I cannot express how sketchy that thing was, top to bottom. It had a lot of power but that is the one good side it had (it was a lot more expensive than a rpi too). That shitty flashing utility alone make it worth picking something different.
I had so much trouble trying different OSes on it. I think actually none of them felt stable and I tried like 5 (multiple versions of each) I think.

Kinda says it all.
I’m the person you’re accusing of lying. To your point, there are some dropped frames but that’s not a problem for me, and I figure most people wouldn’t notice 10 dropped frames out of every 1000, or whatever similar ratio it is. I have a rpi for a media PC and I’m happy with it. I play HD video in several web apps and only the shittiest of them (prime and paramount+) ever have a noticeable issue with playback.
People who complain about rpi’s being expensive kinda make me scratch my head. Like, do you not count the accessories you buy for other hardware? It seems the comparison is between the RPI and every single thing you buy for it, vs a laptop/PC itself with no accessories (which you will almost certainly be buying some amount of). I get that it sucks that these devices have gone up in price, but yeah, the accessories aren’t all that much more than any other device. You could have a very solid RPI setup for $120 all-in. And it would be more durable than some sketchy Acer laptop.
I mean, yeah, I realize it was the joke. I think I was just adding context some people may not know about. I didn’t know a rpi could do that task until I started researching media PC options.
A raspberry pi 5 can play YouTube in HD just fine, so if you wanna save 4000 bucks maybe do that instead
Dude what are you on?
what makes you think Fossil or Pijul won’t replace Git ?
Fossil is 18 years old and I’ve heard of it once now despite being a software dev that whole run lol
It’s easier to just stay on windows
A bizarre statement. I’ve only worked in two shops now where windows is used by devs. The reasoning practically every shop I’ve worked in uses mac: windows is a pain to develop on, and the IT department is afraid of supporting linux.
You HAVE to be trolling at this point.
and yet it is, despite probably 99.99% of it is managed with git. Pretty funny that you’re accusing me of stifling collaboration for simply stating that easy onboarding is important, and using some oddball system no one has heard of it doesn’t make onboarding easy.
I don’t know what you’re basing this “you should know better” on but I can safely say that anyone who is intimately familiar with any craft knows that when you choose an alternative ecosystem to live in from everyone else, there are tradeoffs and that you’re swimming upstream.
You may not care that others coming onto a project are frustrated or confused and have to learn something new that may not even provide any discernible value to them, but those individuals care. That’s clearly a concern for almost all project leaders. I mean, that is the only reason people used SVN for like 5-10 years after everyone knew it sucked compared to other things–
They really dreaded teaching dozens of devs a new thing, in addition to the work required to move things over. Hell, we switched from bit bucket to GitHub in my shop, the closest you can get to a drop in replacement job and that was painful because we had hundreds of repos to move.
Ps. If you had a listing of Git repos on a single page, it would need pagination to avoid crashing you browser/system. It would likely be millions of repos so I am not sure how that list you linked to is supposed to prove anything.
Look, no one is going to use this crap. Coming back a week later to try and have some weird gotcha moment will never change that
Opinions vary – you’re saying the single-file thing is good, but to me that’s quite a downside honestly. For backup purposes, if nothing else, I would rather my software not need to copy the entire file every time a tiny change to it happens. And all those other server based features, imo, are bloat that I wouldn’t use.
It’s interesting that OP is here talking about this being better than git because it has its own server, but the only person besides op claiming to use it is syncing with syncthing 🤔
Not sure what that means. Never once heard of git being a problem or large in size. Further, it’s extremely widely supported.
Isn’t that by design? I believe the intention was to offload that capability to an existing solution, usually ssh.
What about git needs replacement?
This does not reflect my experience with python at all. Except the version thing used to be a thing. Not really any more.

I’ve had it about 4.5 years now.
Interesting. Maybe someday I’ll try blender and/or librecad
Thank you for that validation! I actually just tested mine and saw the same results as you describe. I would drop about 30-50 frames going full screen and then only one here or there every few minutes. It is damned close to perfect.
