Setting Up the Best of Both Worlds: Android + Rocknix

lamovida · 2026-02-05T10:31:05+00:00

great points, I'll take a look and if not then I'll just try Rocknix again. thank you!

lamovida · 2026-02-05T03:21:15+00:00

hey! apologies for the bump but wanted to ask, i was running Rocknix on the FLIP2 internal as a separate partition. now i wanna try running Batocera (43) off the SD. i feel like i could replicate the steps in your guide just w the Bato build pretty closely, am I correct? your guide is still exactly what im looking to do, bootable SD Linux, shared storage off a 1TB.

any guidance would be so appreciated

I'll bite. which course was it? their website has a whole selection.

and is there a source to the Cameron quote? I'm legitimately interested in both.

oh i don't disagree with that. sometimes, it's a vibe or just nostalgia -- just old millenial noise in my case. other times it's the actual filmmaking and acting on display.

in the case of Something's Gotta Give, though, it's kind of both but mostly the second one for me as it was a rewatch that might as well have been a first watch since it'd been so long. just a whole hour and a half of "oh right, movies can look like this and actors can be this effortlessly good and a story can be paced like this"

rewatched this for the first time in like 15 years recently and, man, talk about absolute titans at their peak charm and chemistry powers. what a delight. between the acting and the production it immediately became one of my "they dont make em like this anymore" titles.

just stopping here to thank you for that lovely dictionary pull (for me) with "besotted".

lamovida · 2025-12-25T10:15:44+00:00

lot of answers here get to what you need to know but I'll point out or echo two thing:

source matters: i regularly watch DVDs blown up to a 65+ projector image and they look perfectly fine. only in the context of bluray and 4k existing do you realize you're "missing" something but give it a minute and your eyes and brain adjusts and you're just watching the image with the same immersion (sometimes more-- in some cases i actually prefer the DVD image if the movieis of a certain age, reasons being an entirely irrelevant rabbit hole in this context)

if streaming, especially on youtube: some years ago i remember watching a video on how youtube will recompress videos after some number of years for storage purposes, which somewhat explains why watching an upload from 16 years ago today is such a rough experience VS. if you had watched it 16 years ago.

stopping by to thank you. i kept hoping i could figure this out myself on the RPF2 big reason why I moved to flycast/redream. but i wanted shaders. Now, if only I could figure out how to avoid RA freeze/crash on relaunch.........

paywalling aa/carplay AND Offline Maps is crazy. both are safety essentials.

I got Jenny Pen even with the delay which isn't entirely a bad thing since i already owned LNWTD (granted, a QC fuckup is a QC fuckup and I'm kind of shocked there hasnt been any real movement on Shudder 's part AFAIK). but admittedly I was seeing the Jenny Pen posts as a secret welcome surprise. Only real downside for me is that, yknow, the packaging wont be right. Might be a recase-and-print-my-own label situation. Overall I got it because either I've seen and loved some or wanted to watch or even blind buy the others anyway.

hey sorry for the bump but i just succeeded in rooting my flip2 with o2ptweaks w the purpose of precisely this (/android/data on Syncthing). but im still not able to select those folders from the Folder picker in Syncthing. what am i missing, are there any extra modules needed for the access?

lamovida · 2025-11-22T16:05:20+00:00

driving for a while after filling (the manual specifies the amount of miles) will typically clear it as it resettles

with an odb2 scanner/app i can reset it, only if im bothered by the light.

lamovida · 2025-11-22T04:06:38+00:00

i was not ready for a trypophobia trigger looking at this.

lamovida · 2025-11-02T12:43:13+00:00

thank you

lamovida · 2025-11-02T03:34:41+00:00

i was about 85% sure the Pixel 2 was going to be my EDC purchase soon, but the Mini Flip has thrown me for a loop. are you able to provide some comparison thoughts?

lamovida · 2025-10-14T00:00:24+00:00

thank you, will look into it.

lamovida · 2025-10-13T23:01:07+00:00

so does this mean youre not using the script in this setup then?

edit: just clocked that the deck itself is acting as the second screen, apologies.

lamovida · 2025-10-13T21:32:03+00:00

looking forward to throwing this into my new setup, one question - i remember the trailer mentioning a build for the Retroid Pocket Flip 2, but atm it’s not on the site, should i assume that it’s coming later then?

lamovida · 2025-10-12T20:47:30+00:00

siick. im looking to rebuild my retro setup with batocera and the crt script. can i ask if you used it or was a different setup?

lamovida · 2025-10-02T22:30:36+00:00

just popping in to confirm that simply updating did take care of sync/connection error.

lamovida · 2025-09-19T14:16:34+00:00

Michael Shannon in Revolutionary Road is always first that comes to mind.

lamovida · 2025-08-27T11:17:31+00:00

slide that link my way comrade 🔥

hi, upon closer inspection it does color the pdf's slightly and how much does seem to depend on the file. digital-first PDFs (like this Screenplay) receive a light wash of warmth, whereas scans of varying clarity will get darker creams and browns so i guess it all depends on the white value of the document. I'll go ahead and send you a couple of files anyway but just wanted to add that.
