Just use the device built for that, the Kindle.

Does the Kindle have BT? I know the three I have don't, and she doesn't have any other means to connect any type of audio device. Radio, CD, BT - all she has in the car.

Mine does not, the ones that the kids have do.

The other option is x2go, which is based on the NX protocol. It's been long enough since I last used it, I can't remember if it did what you want. But I am pretty sure that it will do it.

I just re-OS'ed my rPi3 yesterday.. so I haven't had much time to do much with it, but load some of the software I use.

Apparently a popular item now, already out of stock 🙂

So this isn't something @travisdh1 would want to build and leave around?

Maybe in someone else's house. I haven't jumped on the automated assistant thing yet, I'm still quite leery of having something like that in the house.... yes, I know I carry one around in my pocket with the phone. Doesn't mean I use it.

Also doesn't mean you want yet another one reporting everything you say to the NSA.

@dafyre Are you sure you don't wear a tin foil hat as well? 😉

*quickly whips something shiney and metallic looking behind his back*

Who? Me. Never! *coughs to cover the sound of crumbled up tin foil landing in the trash can*

Make sure you run mysql_sercure_installation after installing MariaDB.

pi@nextCloud:~ $ mysql -v -bash: mysql: command not found pi@nextCloud:~ $ mysql -bash: mysql: command not found

sudo apt-get install mariadb-server

I actually just did that with mysql-server....

I have used omv in my test lab here and at home a bit. The test lab it worked well, but i just ended up using ubuntu and iscsi when i had to put something in production. omv just has a web interface, some plugins to turn on. Sort of like webmin lite but for only storage. Development seems active; they keep producing new builds.
At home i installed it as a vm for a bit but when i broke my Xenproject i ended up reformatting that drive and omv with it.

Well, you could do that with nearly every piece of hardware (*). But Raspberry does one great thing: People get creative.

(*) just as an example, you could write a I2C driver for some external IC using your PC's serial / parallel port. Ok, nowadays one would need a USB-2-RS232 / USB-2-LPT, but you'll get the idea 😉

Running again this morning.

This makes me want to get an RP3 just to run this and try it out.
