Yeah, fair enough. Did you try kodi with a different hardware? Might be a bit easier on the clunkiness. But besides AndroidTV, which I hate because it doesn’t do what I want, I have no alternative.
I haven’t dabbed in it, what does the select keycode being higher than 255 do?
That’s already plenty, thank you very much!
How does the interoperability work for your setup? Did you set up something special? What backup system do you use?
I ask because I plan to integrate some Apple stuff so my family can interact with it, like local-only backups, interacting with the TV (kodi) and music (mpd). I will not use software from apple on my side (well, beside the FOSS stuff from them, like bonjour or the printer stuff).
At first I dual booted with Windows and kept my games on the Windows drive. You can just tell steam the path to the games, after mounting the drive. Some games ran fine, some were a little more difficult or impossible to play, even when reported as working on protondb. The reason apparently was NTFS that wasn’t playing nice. That was the moment I ditched Windows entirely.
Under the hood windows uses NTFS, while most Linux distros use EXT4. Linux can read NTFS, but Windows can’t read EXT4 without some tweaks. So I thought my setup was good.
You can try this setup for yourself, it’s a good intro IMO.

I use a raspberry pi with LibreElec/Kodi. It works with the HDMI-CEC, meaning I control it with the TV remote.
Jellyfin can be used as a source for movies and stuff with a plugin.
Okay, Rust does look pretty cool and I am trying to learn it, but this makes me hesitant.
Also, did they rewrite it themselves or are they making Gemini do it and just didn’t encounter bugs yet?
Just use wireless bro
It’s really hard to establish privacy in this age. Everything store bought will fight you on it. And everything store bought will fight different solutions, so it’s harder to stay in contact with your friends; or get them to change with you. It’s just way easier to fight the “newcomers”. And that’s a start at least.
We will scan the brain for a safe way to cut it, so we can mix it with cut bread like two stacks of cards
Achtung, Feind hört mit
Sounds like describing a moth. Are they maybe found more often than butterflies in Thailand?
Ve vill spread and multiply! No aisle can stop us!
Well, “schmettern” (verb) literally means to smash or to belt something. “Schmetterling” comes from the old Slavic “Schmetten”, meaning cream (the one you skim off milk), but it sounds more like it comes from “schmettern”, which is a word still in use.
Nice, thank you for the writeup!
Am on the edge for the remarkable, but the pine note would be a definite buy. But I do know that the pine devices most often are tinkering devices. Don’t know if that is the case for the pine note, just saying.
This very much depends. Are there technical ways to restore this? Something like a jumper to make the flash storage writable. This would be possible with access to the firmware source code. So yeah, they can fix it themselves. Who is responsible? If the device is bricked after this: the company.
Build locked up products? Die.
Build in fuses? Better make those chips accessible by providing the plans to build them, otherwise refund your customers and die. Now everyone can build them, this won’t be a monopoly and everyone wins.
Yeah, it does need a lot of getting used to, especially if you want to change some settings.
With AndroidTV I have the same problem as with Windows: More and more of the “features” seem to be against my interests. That might be a view tainted by the SmartTVs, but it’s the only experience I have with it.
