Reddit.com still works. Old.reddit.com does not.

Wonder if they've decided to finally do away with old reddit?

Edit: Old.reddit is back up for what it's worth.

Nah unfortunately hardware transcode via igpu like quick sync on Intel is Plex pass only.

You should. It's worth it

Source:have had it for ages.

Hw transcode and skip credits. (Plexamp used to be here too ) Makes it worth it imho

I would go wired.. get a switch, run an Ethernet cable from the dorm wall to the switch then out from your switch to your PC.

That said the university is probably handling DHCP and dns.. You could use a USB WiFi plug to generate a hotspot off your PC. if you wanted to run your own wifi...

But honestly the dorms WiFi with you using a VPN to a major service is probably easier everyday use wise.

Let me just say this.. my college lost WiFi connectivity for about 2 months once when I was there.
The only people who had WiFi were the folks connected to the pirate wireless. Because folks were doing the wired device --> hotspot deal with their desktops.

So might not hurt to be prepared.

Also... The dns settings for your device.. you should set those. If you use DNS from your university... It lets them control what you can and cannot see on the net.

I dual booted for ages between random Linux installs and windows because of a couple games.

The only way I found that windows wouldn't fuck with the bootloader was to keep windows on a separate drive.

Yeah I'll give you that.. kits from Amazon are absolutely over priced junk. And I wouldn't suggest someone buying them. It was just a quick search.

Idk I guess I'm just still burnt by them focusing on businesses and not hobby folks back in the day. But hey gotta keep the lights on.

But yeah thanks for the discussion. I'm glad to hear there are still folks passionate about pi and the wacky stuff you can do with them. :)
