    I was imagining a “I just wiped my hard drive and flashed the current version of Debian. Let’s get basic services up.”

    I wish there was a “hey watch me code/self host” channel that helped noobs see how to approach the problem of starting. Usually their is a “hey watch me code” YouTube that is old enough to have a critical breaking point (some library updated) so a noob finds it impossible.







  • I bought the rii remote/controller/keyboard/mouse, a raspberry pi 4 8gb, a 4k micro HDMI, a rpi4 power cord, a 64gb micro SD card, rpi4 case with fan. I then attached it to my TV with some zip ties and a L brace

    • I installed rasbian 64bit.
    • I installed steam link (have to go to tty command line to have it work though because bullseye doesn’t have previous buster driver support yet
    • I installed kodi > Plex addon
    • I installed kodi > YouTube addon
    • I installed kodi > jellyfin add-on with repository
    • I didn’t trust the sketchy “add my repository to download and install”. Disney plus on kodi, so I made a shortcut to the browser with that site
    • I made a shortcut to Netflix browser.

    It isn’t the same as " any phone controls sound and playback" like a chromcast, but it is private and it is better than Chromecast (higher resolution and framerate, and streams/remotelycontrols local beefy gaming computers) in some ways.

    Do you know of a RPI app with a fdroid counterpart that allows clicks from a LAN smartphone?


  • I said this in a different post’s comments about Facebook scraping data:

    Can activity pub change it’s terms to say that all crawlers that use this must be gnu open sources and all information crawled must be open to the public on gnu open sources software (no crawling to a private enterprise)?

    My understanding is all the big tech companies are scared of what happened with router software (openwrt) and they don’t want to be forced to let competition be a foss community via gnu licensing.




  • The bill requires that manufacturers of electronics and appliances make parts, repair tools, and documentation available to the general public, for devices first sold on or after July 1, 2021. For devices costing between $50 and $99.99, manufacturers must provide repair access for at least three years after the product is no longer manufactured; for those costing more than $100, that number rises to seven years. In its letter, Apple lists a few bill provisions that were crucial for the company’s support, including language that clearly states manufacturers only have to offer the public the same parts, tools, and manuals available to authorized repair partners, and the bill’s exclusive focus on newer devices.

    The support is equal to cutting the teeth off the bill.

    • all parts for repair have to be through apple
    • all repairs need to be done in based on official channel (official software probably because that is “authorized”)
    • the bill only applies to new models, and only for the support period of 3 years.

    Or some garbage like that that I am missing. The same thing was done when we didn’t want isps to control the net and coined the term “net neutrality” then the isps rebranded it to mean isp controls if you are neutral on the net… Sigh.






  • Ehh, it could sound that way (green washing). I remember an article from 1 or 2 years ago where Microsoft did a “pilot” test of this and the general consensus is that in a datacenter

    • while you fix part a you break part b of the identical server next to it.
    • Moore’s law means that every 5 years or so you spend more on electricity and storage than you would for the smaller more efficient hardware
    • having 0 human interaction and 0 added dust and 0 oxygen and the ocean at 40 decrees farenheight meant that no additional cooling required. (Maybe some cpu airflow to the external 40° air)

    Time (and investments) will tell if this is the solution to costly land based air heat pumps to cool datacenters with human interactions.
