[X] My Assistant

I just wanna report, after 7-8 months of running H@H, my Verbatim 16GB card actually kicked the bucket.

That's much faster than I thought! Even though the cache is actually stored onto a USB drive.

Now I have to start all over again... lols... I can't even remember how to install the damn server anymore.

Oh oh it's a good idea, I have one RPI somewhere in the dust, but IDK, anyway my PC is online 24/7...
But it would be a good use of $5 board.

Lately I've been using an old Pi 1 Model B as a media center with Plex (via RasPlex)
I was actually somewhat surprised at the amount of stuff it can handle, the only things it has problems with are 4k videos and H.265-encoded videos

Got my Raspberry Pi last week and managed to get it setup and running Hentai@Home.

Currently using the Debian distro on 224/32 memory split. Had trouble at first with OpenJDK being slow but switched to Oracle's JRE and it is much faster now.

CODE

pi@raspberrypi:~$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_32"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition for Embedded (build 1.6.0_32-b05, headless)
Java HotSpot(TM) Embedded Client VM (build 20.7-b02, mixed mode)

It has been up about 2 days now, and H@H seems to be running about the same as it did on my 6 year old craptop.

My internet connection isn't that great but the client seems to be handling 400-425 KB/s uploads fairly easily; speedtest says the connection can go faster but I haven't seen anything upload faster than low 400's.

Anyways, just thought I'd put this info out in case anyone was thinking of trying the same.

tbh i'm kinda scared of installing jre on my micro server. i'm afraid to burn it

If that makes you believe more in the Pi, my raspberry managed to run a JRE for years non-stop. Burning it is pretty hard.

To be fair, there have been multiple reports of the RPI 3B kind-of overheating* (and damaging the SD card in the process in extreme cases)
Not "shit's on fire, yo" levels**, rather "if this keeps up its lifespan might decrease significantly" levels
Then again, it only happens if you keep the CPU at 100% load for an extended period of time, which really doesn't happen that often

* Which coincidentally is also why the heat sink market for RPI3 is in full bloom
** Unless you use one of those hipster cardboard cases

Heh, I guess I need to say that I do have a heat sink. But I bought it 4 years ago, when it was cheap.

Raspy Zero should be a good cheap, always-on, low-end server (even low energy).
But isn't possible to buy at is real cost.
Just one for order and shipping cost 2 o 3 times the cost of the board.

On my Raspberry Pi 1 H&H run on the same speed as on PC, i've just insert 64Gb flash for cache.

Currently using 'OpenMediaVault for Raspberry Pi 2 and Raspberry Pi 3' as the OS
my storage is a SD card only
use putty via ssh to connect the system
login as root
mount the third partition
install unzip, JRE
exit
add a user and add a shared folder to the user from web interface
use putty via ssh to connect the system
login as user
install the H@H client (follow the installation guide https://ehwiki.org/wiki/Installing_H@H_on_Debian )
that's all

I'm thinking about running H@H on my old android phone. Already install Ubuntu and Java via LinuxDeploy, port forward etc... only need to download the server. I just wanna ask how long can the micro sd card hold up?

SD card is expensive, 2.5" harddisks are better choices, connect to your phone via SATA USB cable and it can run quite fast. SD cards can easily overheat if substantially write and read.

Sorry for neco, but just wanted to add Raspberry Pi 4B + SSD seems to work great for H@H+SMB. (OC'ed to 2Ghz with a fan.)

I can download with the H@H downloader and then grab the files wirelessly to my main PC. My PC has ax wifi and can do 60-90 MBps transfering big files over SMB protocol. This is about as good as most NAS. And the power consumption is much lower than keeping my gaming PC/notebook on all the time or buying a NAS. (11W OC'ed.)

I was running H@H on my MacBook Pro 16" i9 2019 for the last week, and moved it to Raspberry Pi after remembering I had one lying around. (Brought it for external video pattern generator but the software only supports 3B.) (Also had an old 500G SanDisk external SSD.) It is currently doing as good as a job as my MBP. 360KBps average upload 129Kbps download (I am downloading archives currently) and the Java process is only using 3-5% CPU and 106 MB RAM. Even if the client grow to the point where it maxs out my 3MBps home upload speed I think the Pi can still manage it. Its also only at around 38C, my MBP was running at 60-70C which at 24/7 can age hardware.

I also have a server that also have 4 core Intel E5-2697 v4 @ 2.30GHz, 8GB RAM, 1000G disk for cache. This system peaks out at around 4-6MBps upload during peak times. (average hitrate 634.3 / min) At which point Java can peak to 20-25% CPU 200 MB RAM usage. (I don't download on this server.)

So its looking like Raspberry Pi 4 might actually be able to replace servers quite easily and it's much cheaper/power efficient. At least for running H@H. I also do not have to worry about not shutting off my computer, windows updating/restarting, heat generation, fan noise, and electricity cost. When I play games I can just set my router to deprioritize the Pi instead of slowing/shutting down the H@H client.

This certainly seems to be the best way to run H@H client right now, at least for the 4B model with external SSD.

Heh, I guess I need to say that I do have a heat sink. But I bought it 4 years ago, when it was cheap.

Did Pi's go up in price?
I've never had one, nor have I paid attention.

Also, for people burning out memory cards: it happens. Burned one out faster than that on an iPod classic running Rockbox off a CF card though.

Not the Pis but the heat sinks are quite expensive now.

Ah.
I have some I pulled off old motherboard chipsets; I'd probably try those. No way to really get pressure on them, though, unless there are mounting holes that line up. Might also have to cut them to fit.
I don't have a Pi though.

You can use double sided sticky thermal tape. Pi's don't run that hot, just they need some sort of cooling solution now.

Running my Pi for roughly a week now. Its has served 663500 files during its last 5 days of uptime. Averages out about 103.6 files per minute. On e-hentai's dashboard its at 75.0 / min hitrate and 18.3 hathrate. Still 1000 trust 10000 quality. The demand in China is pretty huge and the client really grows quickly if it can maintain good quality. I think my older client in Japan is sometimes getting blocked by Chinese GFW and the quality drops at night which really slowed its growth. But if the server is inside China it just grows like nuts as long as it's stable.

Load is at about 0.4-0.5 usually. Peaking at 1.3 (with xdrp, smb and wireguard running) at weekends night but will probably grow more. It only peaked around 1600 KBps of upload out of my ISP's allotted 3000-4000 KBps upload capacity.

So far its looking like if Pi 4 can handle H@H totally fine if your upload bandwidth is less than 10MBps. (100 MBps). I will probably get a residential connection with that speed within next year to find out. (My current apartment only has 300 Mbps down 30 Mbps up..)

Checked out my server and it’s running super slow today. Thought something went wrong. But on dashboard it’s at 1000 10000. The network load is much lower. Seems everyone is playing cyberpunk 2077 today LMAO

I got one of those mini genesis consoles a few days ago. Not a lot of RAM or flash storage, but I bet I could still load an alternative u-boot and/or linux kernel on it and use it in a barebones fashion. Not 100% sure if I could get Xorg running, though. I'm sure it's technically possible, since the PS2 had a linux port with X and it had 1/8th the RAM, but I wouldn't know where to start fixing it if it didn't work.

I primarily got the console for the nice controllers with the late revision genesis D-pad but with the early red printing.
