Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - 8GB (Latest) - Price SGD$120 https://sg.cytron.io/c-raspberry-pi/c-raspberry-pi-main-board/c-raspberry-pi-4/p-raspberry-pi-4-model-b-8gb-latest Raspberry Pi 7 Inch Touch Screen Display With SmartiPi Case - Price SGD$147 https://sg.cytron.io/c-raspberry-pi/c-raspberry-pi-display/c-display-for-rpi-4/p-raspberry-pi-7in-touch-screen-with-smartipi-case Do you think it is a good match? I want to use my Raspberry Pi like a regular laptop or desktop computer. Would a 7 inch touch screen display be too small for my use case? I don't want to strain my eyes looking at a small display. However, if I get a 10 inch touch screen display, I can't find one with a supporting base. I can't find a 10 inch touch screen display with a supporting base which could allow the screen to stand vertically. Finally, does your Linux distribution support Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8 GB? Can I do 4K Ultra HD video editing on the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8 GB? Like adding watermarks, and cutting away unwanted 4K scenes. Is there a good 4K video editing software for Linux? I am looking forward to your reply. Thank you very much. Hello, I can't say anything about the Raspberry Pi part, as I don't have one and have never used one, however, I believe every CPU architectures are supported on Gentoo. However, you might need a keyboard to properly set it up until you have touchscreen support and a virtual keyboard, and likely to help with rescuing the OS if for some reason something breaks. Maintaining a Gentoo distro on a CPU architecture that isn't x86_64/amd64 might also be quite the task, as I'm not quite sure how used other architectures are. As for 4K video editing software, as I am not a video editor at all, I cannot tell you what the video editing software options are on Linux as a whole. What I can tell you however is that if you don't plan on putting in some effort and time to make Gentoo to your taste and all, using Gentoo might be a bad idea, as it is a distribution based on the concept of building the OS you want. Updates also require recompiling all the software that is updated, and if you don't update regularly enough (let's say at least monthly), you might end up like one of the many other people who end up with an unupdatable system that end up on this mailing list. If you are seeking an easy to use and easy to maintain distribution for your Raspberry Pi, you might be better off looking into one of the distributions based around Pis such as Raspbian. I can't however promise that any of them will be good distributions for your use case as, like I said, I have no Raspberry Pis and therefore haven't tried doing anything with one. -- Kusoneko https://kusoneko.moe GPG Fingerprint: E5FD 4F97 502A 0BB3 04F4 4BA1 4405 15F2 4B65 A136 Fediverse: @kuson...@misskey.kusoneko.moe XMPP: kuson...@kusoneko.moe https://email.is-not-s.ms A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

The interfaces will be configured with a link-local address¹ automatically. That won't use IP? Honestly, I don't get the problem you're stating with using IP. If you connect 2 machines with Ethernet, assign them both a static IP address on the same subnet, with no gateway or anything, you can easily have them communicate using the IP addresses only. A computer doesn't require internet access to have local network IP connectivity. -- Kusoneko https://kusoneko.moe GPG Fingerprint: E5FD 4F97 502A 0BB3 04F4 4BA1 4405 15F2 4B65 A136 Fediverse: @kuson...@misskey.kusoneko.moe XMPP: kuson...@kusoneko.moe https://email.is-not-s.ms A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

I also personally use my phone with KeepassDX for when I'm not next to my personal PC, and I have the databases synced together through Syncthing. However, on the topic of Syncthing, I haven't had any issue so far, but I also haven't been able to find anywhere if the thing encrypts traffic that's sent from anywhere to anywhere else. From what I understand of Syncthing though, it seems to give each machine a unique ID, let's you give them names and then specify a shared folder, then using the local networks it can find other devices running Syncthing, and on the wider internet, it seems to connect to some random "discovery servers" that seem like their purpose is to act as a way to have the devices find each other if they're on other networks so that the shared directories stay synced at all times. I just wish I knew if the files are encrypted e2e or not when using this. Kusoneko. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] news 2021-01-30-display-manager-init -- blocked package
Following my daily syncing today, 2 news items appeared, the important one for this being the following: 2021-01-30-display-manager-init It states that starting the next xorg-server version, the xdm init script will be removed and that one install gui-libs/display-manager-init to replace it. Following the instructions to install said package leads to a wonderful error stating that the package is blocked by the following packages: x11-apps/xinit-1.4.1 sys-apps/sysvinit-2.98 x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.10 Removing xorg-server is not gonna happen, so looking at what emerge says, there's a bit of an issue here: https://zifb.in/GUtgto4VcX Doing the required update is currently impossible. I am definitely not gonna remember about this in a week or 2 so I'd like to deal with whatever this issue is asap. Is there any way to do this? Note: all 3 of the blocking packages and whatever pulls them in are NOT using the ~amd64 keyword at the moment, except for nvidia-drivers.
