Probably in a month or so. Lots of people have been switching to Linux lately so I've been focusing on getting more Linux content out first. But I'll be returning to this sooner than later, so stay tuned!
@PhazerTech One more question, i have pihole running on a Pi 4 4gb memory. I plan to use a Pi3B+ (1 gb memory). I installed dietpi on it and it runs great. Was just wondering if the Pi3 will be fast enough? Its a home network and the most active devices will be around 5 at any given time.
Pihole is very lightweight so you won't have any issues with any of the models. You could even run it on a Pi 1 or Pi Zero, but it's best to use a model with wired ethernet.
@PhazerTech Thanks. I moved my Shinobi to the Pi4 4gb on dietpi os and have 4 pizero 2zW's in wifi on dietpi also. Used to have all on pi lite and always gave me issues. Now all works great. No lag time and pi4 on Argone case with the SSD bottom of 1tb. Keep the great videos coming. Plan to try my pi5 4 and 8gb with Shinobi and about 10 pizero 2wZ on wifi and some running on battery with solar charging. Will let you know how it goes.
@@cjlowe1650 Nice, you've got quite a few Pis there! And that's really cool how you've got some on solar power. I'll definitely be making more Pi videos in the near future. Let me know how it goes and questions are always welcomed.
I'm really looking for a guide to set up dietpi as a Desktop Environment while also having retropie installed. Also the desktop/LXQt didnt seem to pair with my Bluetooth devices/Keyboard and wanted to ask you about a hint how to solve that. Can you help me out? Nice video
The Pi 4 can supply up to 1.2 amps to USB devices which is more than enough for most SSDs. There might be a few power hungry SSDs that have problems, but most SSDs will work fine. Just make sure the Pi's PSU is a good one.
@@PhazerTech this is all theory, in practice the power delivery isn't reliable. I had less power hungry SSDs (mSATA-USB) that had problems which disappeared after getting a powered USB hub. This was with the official pi 4 power supply.
@@r0galik Not sure what went wrong in your specific situation, but I've used two different SSDs (SATA and NVMe) without any issues and I'm certainly not the only one to have this experience. Some mSATA drives are pretty old so maybe yours is more power hungry than you assume.
@@r0galik I think it's best to form decisions based on data. Many SSDs provide their rated power consumption in the datasheet. Also newer SSDs and especially NVMe drives have multiple power profiles so they can run at reduced power. The controller in the USB enclosure can also play a role. I think you got unlucky and it's just one single experience. If someone is concerned about this then the smart thing to do would be to get a watt meter or ideally a USB tester, and gather data experimentally. If the current pulled on the USB port is less than 1.2A (or 1.1A to give some headroom) then it will be fine.

When do you think you will have the python video completed? Looking forward to it.

Thanks! Here's a guide I found to install Retropie on DietPi: retropie.org.uk/forum/post/287132
Also did you enable bluetooth in diet-config?
Never use an SSD on pi4 without an externally powered hub.
The Pi 4 can supply up to 1.2 amps to USB devices which is more than enough for most SSDs. There might be a few power hungry SSDs that have problems, but most SSDs will work fine. Just make sure the Pi's PSU is a good one.

@@PhazerTech you do you. The only storage devices I would run without external power are sd readers or thumb drives (also those not crazy fast)
