Screen is great! My favorite though is byobu, a pretty screen

From reading the comments, I think you could be a lot leaner by selling the $100 setup fee, and telling people which “kit” is supported, and they buy that on their own.

That way you don’t have to deal with any of the physical infrastructure of buying/selling/storing hardware, and people can do some customization.

However I do think you’d need to put some restrictions in place so that people don’t buy cheap crap that doesn’t work and expect you to set it up and support it. They have to buy the kit or other compatible hardware.

I’m not sure what services you’d support, but personally I’d be interested in something like a personal introduction and setup of

• docker
• proxmox
• yunohost
• backups / restore (practice restoring)
• smb shared folder
• pihole / pivpn (can you have wire guard and openvpn setup at the same time for different uses?

Maybe migration of

• nextcloud

You could make different prices depending on what service they want, kind of like a bike stop.

I wouldn’t want a perpetual subscription, but I could stomach something like $100 setup + $5/mo for limited support for a year.

Best thing for me is that community support also exists for all these things too, but it’s hard to do it on your own sometimes.

Sweet! Let me know if it works for you!

It’s a Sony TV, a Bravia model from many years ago. It runs on a raspberry pi 2, connected with HDMI. There is a setting called CEC (if I remember correctly) that was automatically enabled, and lets the TV remote’s commands pass thru to the RPI over the HDMI cable. Should work for most TVs, but if you use an HDMI to DisplayPort/usbC adapter, some of those might not work right.

I hope you can try it out because it’s very convenient as a user. And as the administrator you can still connect a mouse/keyboard or use a smartphone to configure the more powerful things Kodi can do.

The one that came with my tv.

I just click up down left right enter return and it works.

You’re describing a completely foreign experience to me. I’ve always controlled Kodi with the TV remote. It’s kind of annoying to type in stuff, but I mostly use Kodi to record and watch jeopardy.

Not OP but I found Kodi incredibly intuitive up until the point that something didn’t behave as expected. Then it was very complicated and support was difficult to find and understand.

Not even that much work. Libre elec is pretty simple as long as you don’t do anything too creative

Am also an idiot. I have several raspberry pis and UPS boards mostly operating on hopes and dreams, and the most useful things I do are a single-user nextcloud instance that’s even accessible over the Internet, and a smb drive that’s always accessible

Let’s be real the type of hotel I can afford doesn’t want customers that care about the Wi-Fi

I will try to investigate further, but for instance if you go to duckduckgo.com, it says something like “this website is not on our whitelist, let us know if you think you need access.” It’s very annoying, so I avoid the WiFi when I can.

unless you are important they’ll tell you to pound sand.

What can you do if the school has a whitelist of domains they accept HTTPS (443) connections for?

So did you buy ecc ram?

“They put $50,000 worth of bullets in his ass!”

IIRC they warn people not to use recovery emails if they’re concerned about leaking information, idk why though

Thank you for this post <3

Maybe this is off topic but I’m relatively new to Lemmy from Reddit and I’m curious about how upvotes / downvotes and moderation work here and what the philosophy is guiding it.

If I see a post here on blahaj zone or elsewhere on Lemmy that isn’t against the rules but it’s disrespectful or misguided, my instinct is to downvote it, so it might be hidden from others unless they click to see it.

When downvotes are disabled, these comments always have positive karma, and you can only tell that the community doesn’t support what they say based on the difference between the small number of upvotes of the disrespectful post vs the large number of upvotes on the post calling them out.

I guess my question boils down to:

• how does the Lemmy/blahaj karma system work and what is the philosophy of how it is better/different from Reddit?

• Is there a way to sort comments so the “low karma” (but not new) comments are at the bottom, or hidden?

Thanks for considering! And making a community that feels good to be a part of <3

I thought peertube attempts to be a complete replacement

Dude no one can figure out ftp. Before there was yt there were embedded QuickTime videos and video podcasts
