What's the craziest thing you have ever seen someone do on public transit? in c/[email protected]

On the tube in central London, two 20-something women got on the train, one was leading the other on a collar and leash as she crawled.

The one holding the leash sat down on the seat, the leashed one sat on the floor at her feet.

Out of curiosity, what hardware are you using?

It will be living in the home office pretty close to a monitor, so I'm happy enough to plug it in and use a screen to set everything up. But hopefully once it's up and running, I'll rarely need to use a screen and can check on the apps via a browser on my laptop/tablet/phone.

In any case, I'll check out the VNC option linked above, thanks.

I guess it probably makes sense to start with Raspbian then and see how that goes first.

I've also heard about OSMC, which is media player centric distro. Although given I am not actually using this thing as a front end (at least for now), that might be a waste.

OK, thanks.

Yeah I'd rather not be too reliant on my (limited) command line skills!

Hopefully the Pi4 with 8gb is comfortable enough with a slightly heavier distro.

Like many others on here, I've finally had enough of the constant splintering of content into more and more separate services, each offering less value.

Anyway, so I have a new 8gb Pi4b on the way and I want to set up a "download box".

Ideally something fairly automated using NZBs. Years ago I used to use Sickbeard + SABNZBD+ on a small windows box. But I wanted a small, simple, ultra low power fanless box, so I've gone for a Pi4.

I'm aware of the *arr apps, although I haven't used any of them yet. I'm thinking a bunch of the *arr apps + SABNZBD+ and just keep using the Plex instance running on my Netgear NAS as the front end (got the lifetime Plex Pass). So I just need the download apps running in my Pi4 for now.

Question is: what do I put onto my Pi4 as the best base on top of which to build all of this?

Unfortunately I'm a Linux newb, so I want something fairly simple which can run all the apps I need and mount my NAS for storage.

What setup do people think is best for the Pi4?
