i already made a paper display using a wemos pico (has battery, charging and indicator) but this is very cool!

have to charge mine every few months but also display a lot more information

Do you have any blog post, video or anything that shows how to build your project?

unfortunately no, but hardware wise a exact copy of this: https://github.com/lmarzen/esp32-weather-epd

except for the wemos lolin c3 pico, very tiny esp

I have a couple of lolin boads as well I am using for development. The firebeetle board that is linked is hands down the best esp32 board due to the voltage regulator.

In hibernation with only the RTC clock running I believe it only consumes 0.008mA which is coin cell worthy with a < 1% duty cycle. With the wemos boards my lowest is around 3-4mA which is still fine but considering price is the same I would recommend the firebeetle ones.

oh, and the data i display on mine gets fetched from my homeassistant

i use metaX for my movie and show database, game playthroughs and others might need different tools

There's a more up to date fork: MetaZ [https://metaz.maven-group.org]. Which claims to be 'Two letters better than MetaX'. heh ;-)

Thank you! Will check it out.

I love Notification Center with its extensions! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umZCjMduuUY

before 8 I always disabled it because I litterally had no use for it...

he could have transformed his router into a NAS using either the proprietary software or OpenWRT/Tomato etc... This way you dont need any extra NAS and just plug in your external drive via USB. The performance is the only bottleneck I've experienced with routers (cpu speed is about 200-600mhz). Other than that it works really well with my raspberry pi xbmc!

Well Synology NAS is so much more than just a connected harddrive through the network... Also I don't think the router can handle NZbget, sickbeard etc.

I really dont know what software is available from the NAS manufacturers or the community. All i can say is that my Netgear WNDR3700v2 can handle transmission, smb, ssh, afp, an apache server and tvheadend pretty well on OpenWRT and there are many more packages (including nzbget) available.

I think you'll find a really big bottleneck if you're using NZB (with NZget or SabNZB). Even my NAS is too slow to give me the maximum speed of my fiber optic internet connection :( (stuck at 9MB/s)

The article may get some things twisted with some warez definitions, but the main problem is: a once trusted site lets users download a different software than anyone is searching for - this leads to confusion at first because users don't know what they are downloading and installing anyway...

This may be all true, theres nothing I can say against this article, but there's really a reason to split an article or comments section to multiple pages - battery performance. On heavy ad-based sites with flash content etc, the page rendering can get really cpu intensive - at least on smartphones and tablets.. (I'm referring to a 30000x1024 pixels to scroll through. OSX sometimes really fights with them and smooth scrolling (i have a retina macbook, maybe thats the reason, macericks should bring some improvements to that...) on ios can get laggy. Tumblr pages with infinite scrolling and heavy imagery are an example for that. Nice article though!

just copy the content to your hdd? and back for permanent changes - is that a big problem for you? this way at least you can satisfy your fetish for floppy disks :D

At this point I'd like to suggest all the gamers try out our free Game Creation website... http://playtin.com
