A Zero would probably be way underpowered for the job. I've used a Pi 4 in the past and it worked ok, but choked occasionally.
My actual recommendation would be a small x86 box, something like a Lenovo Thinkcentre Tiny. You can get them used for about the price of a Pi, and they'll be much more reliable.
There are some SFW uses too. I use it when I play things my nieces and nephews like, so they don't flood me with party invites.
Or ADHD. That shit will catch my attention every 17 seconds, the impulse is gonna win eventually.
Install them, point them to your media folder, tell them what your preferred quality level is, and they'll handle everything else.
The Trash Guides are probably the best resource to get running.
If you're just looking for a music solution, check out Navidrome. It'll run on basically anything, and there are plenty of compatible apps for playback (Subsonic API).
Jellyfin can handle music alongside movies/shows, but the music side isn't as feature-rich. Great for basic playback though, I run both.
Australia actually did that a couple years ago, but only for vaping-related nicotine. Cigs were unaffected.
Arch or EndeavourOS, depending on the machine's purpose and my mood at install time. I prefer rolling release, and pacman + AUR is a lovely combination.
It isn't great for the sanity, but watching hard-right news for a few minutes will show you just how much people do fall for this. They've started to openly (but gently) suggest that democracy was a mistake, and their audience eats it up.
If Trump somehow wins, they're actively planning for that to be our last election. Ever.
If the judge loses it bad enough, they can claim "judicial bias" and have a pretty clear path to mistrial/appeal. Given the situation, it's probably the best play they have.
"Does he have weird third-party monitoring software on his government phone?" is what the headline is referencing, that's a massive problem. Confidential info could end up who-knows-where if it was sniffed.
And as an added bonus: If I buy the blu-ray, I don't need to keep the massive 4k remuxes on my server. It's a win-win.
Exactly. Doesn't matter if they're wired or wifi, or where they are, as long as they're on the same network you're fine.
