  • If you’re going for reliability, and you just want things to be simple, you probably just want to spend the money on two cheap NAS boxes, honestly. There are some caveats that come with RPi’s, and you’re unfamiliar it’s: 1) going to cost about the same, 2) be simpler to manage and upgrade, and 3) be easier to repair disk columes when the time comes.

    Even if you’re just looking to make these redundant to each other, just make it simple and easy.

    I print a number of label sizes on a Brother Laser as well, and have zero issues. Most of the media size and handling is done by the printer itself, and the software has little to do with it…for the most part.

    1. What specific printer is this?
    2. Can you upload an image of the misprint to illustrate what’s happening?
    3. Have you tried forcing the system print dialog when printing versus just using whatever Firefox gives you?
    4. Can you print a proper label with any other programs, or do they all behave similarly?





    1. Get some sort of resource monitor running on the machine to collect timeseries data about your procs, preferably sent to another machine. Prometheus is simple enough, but SigNoz and Outrace are like DataDog alternatives if you want to go there.
    2. Identify what’s running out of control. Check CPU and Memory (most likely a memory leak)
    3. Check logs to see if something is obviously wrong
    4. Look and see if there is an update for whatever the proc is that addresses this issue
    5. If it’s a systems process, set proper limits

    In general, it’s not an out of control CPU that’s going to halt your machine, it’s memory loss. If you have an out of control process taking too much memory, it should get OOMkilled by the kernel, but if you don’t have proper swap configured, and not enough memory, it may not have time to successfully prevent the machine from running out of memory and halting.



  • When talking about media streaming, there’s a number of other things that cause problems Bandwidth, meaning the total amount of information you can send overall, is less likely to be a problem versus jitter, packet loss, and latency spikes.

    For this purpose, but OP would tune both the server and the clients to cache ahead more, or send in smaller packets, it could possibly be a good workaround.

    Spending an insane amount of money putting what I’m guessing is illegally obtained content on a CDN distribution is crazypants.






  • Well, let me break it down for you since you don’t seem to work in this space:

    1. A Roadmap is a strategic timeline of targeted goals that are estimated to be completed in a specific timeframe that is NOT nebulous. It’s done this way to provide consumers of a product some knowledge of where the product is going to entice them to buy-in to said product to allow them to estimate their own commitments to the project and adoption.

    2. A backlog is NOT a Roadmap. I planned orchestration of tickets is a Roadmap. We create this to ensure users that problems they are experiencing will be resolved, and in what order to expect them to be resolved. This works for both for-profit engineering, and also FOSS projects. A great example of this is the Roadmaps provided by distros uses by Enterprise customers.

    3. Your comment about “inflexible commitment” seems to say you don’t understand the above points. If you’re pushing a product which you want people to adopt, and you’re communicating to them why they should adopt it, the last thing you would want to do is say “Hey, we’re kiiiiinda going this way, but maybe not. We’ll see.”

    4. Programming DOES work like an assembly in a sense. That’s why you have tickets, tags, classification, triage, status, and…backlog. What gets thrown in the floor is what I’m talking about.

    Regardless of how you feel about the pace of the project, it’s absurd to throw out a bunch of ideas as tickets and expect them to all get done without a commitment. Or, dare I say, a roadmap.
