See the thing about beer is that really good beer is better warm or just barely cool.

until next time

And it works well enough. No one is ditching Windows

Worth watching for Rutger Bauer’s acting alone. That man put his all into being a hobo

That’s what I have, except networked. . Works fine. Just meant out of all the things, printers are still the hardest

I’d get a whole second machine and a KVM switch, it would save you much trouble

Nope I haven’t had trouble with drivers in a while. Printers are still probably thr worst but not bad.

It looks like proofed bread dough.

And that’s a bit of a break here. We hit 100+F regularly over the summer, and its 82 F and 85% humidity in the mornings. No AC is bad.

This hugely depends. Most places will happily split it.

The Microsoft Minecraft login thing is getting pretty insane.

You don’t even need much cash. An old N40L and four 250gb ssds will get you 750gb running Truenas and raid.

I hear but have not verified that they will connect to an open network without letting you know.

Don’t forget you save lots of fuel by firing out of the solar system instead

OK I had no idea this existed so thanks! I’m one of today’s lucky 10000 I guess. I have an old Panasonic with Viera and had no idea it did this. Not working perfectly yet but not far off.

OK I’ll take a look at it, interesting.

What TV do you have? What are you running Kodi on?

What TV remote?

And it is not scary. A simple distro like Mint, figure out where the software repositories live, how to use thr off8xe suite, and you’re done. Life is "great*.

Pretty much this. Imagine some untutored user given the jellyfin client. They can figure it out pretty quickly as it is much like Netflix. Compare that to a Kofi on a Pi, first you have a keyboard/mouse. OK, then arrow keys and spacebar get you a ways in - now how do I stop the video? Panic till you find out it’s the X key.

It is the simplicity vs functionality debate. Kodi is amazingly configurable but it is not accessible for your normal household user without a ton of work. Jellyfin(as an example) just runs on the Roku they are already using.

Eventually I’m getting off my old Roku 3 permanently for Kodi, so I’m just saying I wish Kodi had a dummy mode.

The learning curve for Kodi is pretty steep. Most folks aren’t going to bother.
