It’s th.th.th.th.three

I keep several IPTV news streams going at once. 4+ is good for me.

So just to put this out there. I’ve been testing single-board-computers running Android and Linux and streaming multiple IPTV streams at the same time and the Fire TV (I have the 4K Max) beats the Raspberry Pi 4, Odroid N2 + & Intel NUC 7 i5 CPU w/ Intel GPU). I know that they’re cheap as hell but they actually perform better in my specific use case than other Android or Linux platforms. I can stream 5 or 6 1080 IPTV streams simultaneously on the Fire TV, while 3 or 4 is the max on the others.

btop doesn’t update all of the characters for me after a while if I leave it open for a long time, and eventually it stops updating altogether.

I’ve got the 10" kindle that I resurrected a year ago with a new battery and jailbroken & several 6" kindles (one jailbroken) but I recently got a cheap chinese e-ink Android device (Xiaomi Inkpalm 5) and I like it a lot better than anything else that I’ve had before. My primary use case is RSS/news reading, not books. I side-loaded the Feedly Classic APK onto it and except for the “smooth scroll” feature of it (which takes several screen refreshes instead of just one - and subsequently uses up like 3-4 times more battery just because of the smooth scroll feature), it’s really almost the perfect device. I’d love to find a larger e-ink Android device and figure out somehow to get rid of the smooth-scroll feature of the Feedly Classic app. If I could do that, it’d be the perfect device. :)

I just opened my protonmail account for the first time in years and it’s really nice! Lots of great UI stuff now!
