Would have upvoted but it was at 69

If you buy a used one, you can probably get it a good but cheaper as well

I think there’s also similar devices to a Raspberry Pi that are cheaper

You can disable COW for specific files btw

No, the error is coming from YouTube, not Piped. They’re working on a way to get around it, you can follow the progress here.

LibreTube uses Piped, which currently is getting blocked by YouTube. They’re working on a way to get around it.

You can follow the progress here. It seems like they might have found a way.

Yeah but it would also be cool if everyone else had Kore, then they could just add songs themselves from their phones, for example

You can also just use your phone. The app is called Kore and is free and open source. It connects over the local network, so you don’t need an IR pointer or anything like that.

Edit: Just noticed that the comment you replied to already mentioned Kore. Anyway, I actually prefer using it over a remote. I always have my phone with me, I can use the phone’s keyboard and I can share stuff like YouTube links directly to it.

The Deutsche Bahn uses Linux for the displays in their trains, that show you the next stops, at least. Saw the systemd startup thingy on one of those displays once when the train restarted while I was in it.

No, PipePipe and NewPipe work the same way and load the data from YouTube’s server by extracting the information they need (including the video stream) from the website. Piped is a project that uses NewPipes’ extraction but puts it on the server side. Piped has to be hosted on a server but that server extracts the information from the website and then sends it to the client, thereby proxying it to you. With Piped, your device never contacts the YouTube servers itself. LibreTube is a FOSS Android app, that’s also on F-Droid, that uses Piped.

You could install LibreELEC on the Pi, it’s a distro specifically made for Kodi and that can be controlled with the Kore app from your phone

Germany’s problem, that other countries don’t have, is the “Schuldenbremse” (debt break). The USA and China are heavily investing by taking on debt while Germany isn’t investing anything and can barely keep public services alive.

For people in Germany or Austria, Geizhals is great. It shows you the cheapest seller for every product and has a ton of information for each product that you can filter by.

I don’t think it’s gonna get cheaper than renewables, they’re literally using free energy without needing any human intervention aside from inspection and repairs. The issue is the oil and gas companies paying the politicians. Also right-wing parties that do everything they can to keep emissions up just cause. No new technology can fix those issues.
