log2ram VS RiiConnect24-Patcher

Reducing logging, logging to ram and writing to the sdcard once a day helps longevity a lot, especially with quality sd cards.

99% of the time it's the verbose logging of application servers that is the culprit of sdcard failures.

I always use this: https://github.com/azlux/log2ram

If you've got other issues then it's quite likely that lots of small writes from logging and similar has worn out the SD card, mounting the SD card as read only or installing log2ram could prevent it happening to another SD card.

> writing permanent its log files and swap partition

If this is the problem, the solutions are no swap and log2ram https://github.com/azlux/log2ram

I also noticed that Armbian logs to a ramdisk. I didn't investigate the implementation and if its contents survive a reboot.

The only real problems for me are that the SD card will eventually fail no matter what (I mean, much sooner than a SDD or HDD) and that there are basically no Pis at sale at a reasonable price. As a platform it is nearly dead.

For Pi-hole, I have an Rpi Zero with $10 Usb-to-Ethernet adapter, SD-card barely written (with Log2Ram) to avoid wear. Running about 3 years now almost unattended (besides security updates).

In addition to the other helpful suggestions you’ve received, look into using Log2Ram. It does what it sounds like, puts log writes in ram and then writes them to disk on a slower cadence that doesn’t work your SD card that much.

Log files are a bit trickier. I want these to stick around between reboots, so just storing them on a ramdisk wouldn't really work. Thankfully, log2ram solves this problem. Written primarily for Raspberry Pi machines, it works fine on x86-64 laptops. This stores /var/log in RAM but will sync the contents to disk from time to time, ideal for our needs.

(A SD Card, any computer that has windows 10 or 11, any DLC wad file, and RiiConnect24 Patcher download it here) i forgot to say it needs to be on the SD card but yeah

So to open the patcher (The link to get it is here (https://github.com/RiiConnect24/RiiConnect24-Patcher/releases) You are going to need terminal open and Homebrew installed, to install it, just look up Homebrew on google and when you are at the website you should see a code you can copy, go into terminal and paste it in and install it, after that, go back into terminal and type "brew install xdelta". once you have installed that go back into terminal once again and type sh, then grab your patch file and drag it into the terminal and press enter. Make sure your sd card is in before you do this. After, you should see the installer, press 1, then select your device, then press 1 again, choose your type of install then you should see an install screen. Once it is installed, eject your sd card and put it into your Wii. Go to your WAD manager and install iOS 80 and 31 if you dont yet have them, then if you chose express, you can download things like Check Mii out or everybody votes, and boom! Riiconnect24 should be installed with the working channels! If it is not working make sure it was fully installed or the iOS is installed.

If you don't have the game disk that supports online mulitplayer, then download this to patch your wbfs and put in your WBFS usb and put it in WiiBackup Maniger ir WBFS maniger and that's it
