Ubuntu Linux VS DietPi

So, yeah, no .deb file, no curl/wget, no apt repository that they maintain. OK, cool 😎 no problem. I'll keep looking on Ubuntu side to see if Ubuntu has something 😁 you know. I could see that GNU Aspel's appendix does seem to have a recipe for how to make it myself if I wanted to go that route, as I pointed out earlier, however, since I have Ubuntu, I kept stomping the pavement and then it happened, I was able to... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

P2Pool software has not been ported to Android. It is quite a senseless task, so I don't expect that happens in an overseen future. You have to build and install P2Pool on a PC or VPS. I strongly recommend Ubuntu since all the build instructions can be easily copy-pasted from the P2pool official GitHub page. Then, you just point your XMRig for Android running via termux to your P2pool instance on a PC or VPS. Source: 12 months ago

I used dietpi [1] for similar reasons: a slim version of Debian, and with the defaults set to push all the logging into ram to minimize writes. Dietpi has opinionated defaults, for sure, but it's easy to choose something else (e.g. Dropbear is the default ssh server, but bumping to OpenSSH is a matter of changing a setting in the handy config tool). I've been running an RPi3 on an SD card as my secondary PiHole... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

Before someone starts the usual yadda yadda about the RPi biger community, the OS not having long time support etc. I would repeat one more time: do not rely on board vendor supplied images; this is valid for pretty much all boards. Just go to Armbian or DietPi pages and you'll almost certainly find one or more images that work on your board and forums to discuss about them with very knowledgeable people.... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

> bananapi do a lot of boards but their software story has been a bit poor This is quite common with other board manufacturers too. I'd rather suggest to ignore completely their cobbled together distros, often also tainted by proprietary modifications, that become unmaintained in a few years, and see if they're among the many supported by Armbian or DietPi. https://www.armbian.com/download/... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
