A Pi 5 I ordered on October 1st arrived December 28th. Almost 3 months. The absence makes the heart grow fonder or the chase is better than the kill.
My Pi5 will live beside my Pi3 until Pi5 does all the media / data crunching tasks that the Pi3 does. I skipped Pi4 when I learned that is was not much better than the Pi3 at doing DTT TV things with the Pi Hat for digital TV.
Pi5 runs hotter than Pi3 and it has a built in (in case) fan that will run when the core temp is very high.
The Pi3 on ethernet cable had a max download of 100Mbit/s. The Pi5 is in the gigabit era where I am getting 900+Mbits/s on download and upload is maxed at 100Mbits/s.
Both Pi boards run headless with control to them over VNC.
I need to get back to some bigger beast servers too which are in handover stage of moving data and services to the newer machine.

Bombs to settle arguments the order of the booth
Can you hear them crying in the rubble of Beirut?
I can still see people dying, now who takes the blame?
The numbers are different, the crime is still the same
From the graves of Belsen where the innocent will burn
To the genocide in Beirut, Israel, was nothing learned?
I can still hear people crying, now who takes the blame?
The numbers are different; the crime is still the same
Bombs to settle arguments, the order of the booth
From the graves of Belsen, to the ruins of Beirut
I can still see people dying, now who takes the blame?
The numbers are different the crime is still the same

Before the 1980s coding was inaccessible and difficult. Along came affordable home computing and things got a little bit easier. But the simplistic capabilities of the hardware made the coding more challenging as bedroom coders pushed the chips to their limits.

Today after 19 years on FTA TV I added IPTV. The range of services available is very good. Of course I keep my FTA as well. IPTV lacks teletext and red button services and radio…. Vodafone forgot ‘radio on TV’ and limited radio selection. There really is a gap in the market for FTA catch… Continue reading IPTV
Can anyone remember what BBC Continuity used to talk about before they had to cross promote BBC Sounds and iPlayer? Tune to local radio, alert to a new show that is coming up, tell key holders to return to their shops because of incendiary devices.
spin the deck: 0 supporters can spin the deck and increase the counter and show how much they are enjoying the tunes they hear on stream. Other versions could be media players that track movement and reward the tracked followers with tokens and virtual gifts. Gamification of media loyalty.

Cassettes may be obsolete, but they still evoke a powerful sense of nostalgia. Taking inspiration from the Pop Art tradition, Horace has created… Continue reading HORACE PANTER Cassettes 2021
