Well, uh, I hope your power supply can provide 3 Amperes.
Also you need to explain your network architecture. Does your Pi 4 connect to the internet using WiFi, and provides internet to Pi Zero? Your should see Pi Zero as USB-Ethernet card on your Pi 4, and you should be able to create a shared connection on this card from Pi 4 system settings if you connect a monitor and a mouse to your Pi 4.

Speed-wise, multiple processes and multiple threads should be identical, if you are using the same primitives (shared memory, system-wide semaphore).
Threads are easier to use and use less RAM, because all your memory is shared automatically, and system-wide semaphores have complicated API.

I've just copypasted URLs from your post so I could click them after Lemmy converts them to hyperlinks in my comment. But then you've copied the images directly, with extra explanation. I feel like this turned out to be bigger effort than necessary.
Anyway, my wife liked the centibus.

I had made pasta with fresh tomatoes exactly once.
Yeah it was tastier than canned tomatoes. And it also took me half a day to make. In the end I just dumped the pasta into the pan with tomatoes. Canned tomatoes are like 3x faster, because they take no preparation time beyond opening the can.
The variety of tomatoes matters little, the heat treatment will average the taste, so it's okay to use the cheapest tomatoes for this, as long as they didn't start to rot.
Edit after reading others' replies: maybe the tomatoes in my country are just better, even the cheapest variety is tasty enough eaten raw, and the only time I could find tomatoes that are picked green and are ripening on the shelf is during winter, when all fresh vegetables are hydroponics, and even then you have some choice.
The recipe:
-
Get fresh tomatoes. Wash tomatoes. Cut tomatoes in 2 or 4 pieces each, you'll mash them anyway so thin slices do not matter. Fill the biggest bowl in your kitchen with sliced tomatoes. I was using like 2 kg of tomatoes, they wouldn't fit into the pan until simmering down.
-
Fry diced onions and carrots in a pan, using a generous finger-thick layer of olive oil, until the onions are golden and carrots are sweet.
-
Dump tomatoes into the pan. Cover with a lid, cook on a slow fire for about 15-20 minutes. Mash and stir each 3 minutes so they won't burn. Cooking less will preserve taste of fresh tomatoes, cookig longer will make it taste closer to canned pasta sauce. But cooking for less than 5 minutes will keep tomatoes stay in big chunks, so you won't be able to make your sauce stick to the pasta.
-
Boil pasta while tomatoes are cooking.
-
Dump Italian spice mix onto the pan. Turn off the heat, let it simmer for 1 minute.
-
Dump pasta into the pan, stir, slurp your tomato-pasta soup from the pan like an animal, contemplate your life choices when you have trouble standing after eating 3 kg of food.

I had the root canal done without an anesthesia, because I did not want a needle sticking into my gum.
It was tolerable, I did not cry or anything like. The nerve was mostly dead anyway.
The dentist took his sweet time removing the nerve piece by piece with a probe, instead of just drilling the whole tooth through. It did not matter at the end anyway, because he filled the canal afterwards. And the molar has three roots, so he repeated that two more times.
I guess it depends on your pain tolerance.

Comrade S-70 was stealthily attempting to fly to the West while spreading capitalist propaganda, however it had repented and commited suicide mid-air via an AA missile it stole from the Voronezh airbase.

Just tried it. Way too hardcore. I was thinking of games more like Tesla Force or Space Marshals.

I don't want to replay Fallout 2, I want some twin-stick shooters with comfortable touch controls. As much as emulators on Android improved, they usually provide poor touchscreen experience.

I often want to copy some phrase from a post to search it on the web. Long-pressing post text minimizes this post into a single line, which is not very useful IMO, I would rather have text selection cursor like in a web browser.

Some studios are still releasing premium games in 2023. Undead Horde 2 is a dungeon crawler with no ads or IAP, and it costs $10. It features 3D blocky graphics, although less blocky than Undead Horde 1. The combat is moderately paced and depends more on upgrades than on button mashing, most of the time your minions do all the fighting. There are no puzzles, just some fetch quests to progress the story.
I've unlocked all weapons in Vampire Survivors, and I'm too bored to grind the remaining 14 unlocks. Please recommend me some proper, $10 up-front games.
I've alrealy played all versions of Space Marshals, Tesla vs Lovecraft, Tesla Force, Jydge, Crimsonland, Grind Infinity, Solomon Keep, PewPew, and Vampire Survivors (although it's not twin stick but close enough). Are there any new twin stick shooters, preferrably something I can pay for once and without IAP going up to $100?

Is there a way to cast my phone screen to TV using some kind of Tasker plugin? I'm using screen cast to view one specific app on a big TV, but the screen mirroring stops whenever the wifi blinks, and I'd like it to reconnect automatically.
I've encountered many, many mobile games where the character needs to perform five different actions, so the developer adds five separate buttons to the screen. Of course you will mis-tap them and die in the middle of a boss fight. The best touch controls are achieved when the dev designs the game around touchscreen, not attempts to adapt touch controls for some existing game. For platformers there are two movement buttons on the left, and three buttons on the right part of the screen - jump, attack, and alternate attack or some action like dodge. Any more buttons make the game hard to play. There is also a common mistake of making buttons the size of a thumbtack. Ideally the buttons should be as big as a 5 Euro coin, that would be a third or even a half of screen width for most phones. My recommendations are SuperTux and Swordigo. For twin-stick ahooters there are two joysticks, and maybe one or two extra action buttons above the right joystick, but not anything more. The best examples are Space Marshals and Crimsonland. Top-view RPGs and dungeon crawlers also tend to use twin stick controls. The gameplay tends to be more relaxed, because you can slways grind few more levels and don't bother dodging enemy attacks. Shoot-em-up is another type of game that works really well with the touchscreen. Your aircraft follows your finger no matter where you touch the screen, it's simpe and it works well. There is a wide variety of quality shmups on Play Store, try OpenTyrian for some classic DOS gameplay. Honorable mention to swipe controls. You can swipe up/down/left/right without aiming for a specific button and even without looking at the screen, ao it's impossible to mis-tap the wrong button. The downside is that swiping is slower than taps, so the gameplay tends to be slower. Reaper is a good example. First person shooters are okay for casual gaming, but playing any competitive Counter Strike clone like Critical Strike or Critical Force will earn you a friction burn on your finger, because you are swiping the screen non-stop to aim. I'm not reviewing strategy games here, they can have 10-layer menus and dialogs and still be playable. Some racing games support gyroscope as a replacement for the steering wheel, it works rather well. And of course there are infinite runner games. I don't want to call the whole infinite runner category trash, there are some good runner games like SmashHit or Vektor or Alto's Odyssey, but if it's three lanes infinite runner, you will watch ads each 30 seconds, and the gameplay is only fun for the first 30 seconds. Flappy bird. Best touch controls ever, but the game itself is garbage. There is a specific class of mobile gamers who are using gamepads. The gamepad is great for sure, you have a separate button for each finger, however the gamepad is more often than not bigger than the phone, so you are losing convenience and need clothing with huge pockets.
