Quote:Bonus Q: Even when not in use, the rpi4 is running kinda hot (and I've put one of the huge heatsinks on it). Thus, have any of you figured an handy way to turn the pi off/on when not in use (that is user friendly even for the rest of the household)?
There are 2 parts to this question....
Firstly the heat, I and others use the superb Argon-one case. With moode usage the temperatures are very low.

And installation/power control here.

If adopting this then perhaps the second part of your question may not be needed...however, for completeness..
Secondly, by using a Flirc USB controller and any remote control you can map a button to give a safe shutdown..(and many other things as well like play pause skip etc all of which the family will find familiar
)You can use Kent's script (or Triggerhappy) to achieve this...

You could, alternatively, just wire a button for safe shutdown (and a led indicator too perhaps)...

I'm interested in your comment about the ipod classic... I have a 5th Gen one with rockbox installed (I've found it and it's charging so will investigate later) but what is the usage for 'sd-card' you mention ?
