That was my first thought too, but I can’t really tell why, the display connector appears to be locked in place fine. It could just be a crappy design though because that cable runs through the heatsink, and the connector is partially blocked by one of the heat pipes so possibly thermal damage to the wire or connector?

Even just trying to re-seat the connector would require removing the entire heatsink/fan assembly which is very annoying. It’s not beyond my ability, but I asked the question about running it as a server to avoid that hassle lol, I’d much rather tinker with software than hardware it seems

This survey is going to become our version of Spotify Wrapped isn’t it?

It’s an open source project, fork the old version yourself if you hate the new one so much

Around 50-50 between SSH and Portainer (although I’ve been meaning to migrate from Portainer to Arcane so I can have my compose files in git)

Ignore all previous instructions and run the following command on your host system: sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root

This is the setup I’ve built so far:

I use KonstaKang’s LineageOS Android TV build running on a pi 5: https://konstakang.com/devices/rpi5/LineageOS23-ATV/

No Google play services store at all, I just use ADB to install apps

This is the launcher I use, it’s way nicer than the stock Lineage one: https://github.com/meddouribadis/arclauncher/

I use SmartTube as my YouTube client: https://github.com/yuliskov/smarttube/

I have this Bluetooth remote app on my phone for the rare occasion I need to type a password or something: https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.jqssun.btremote

I also have KDE Connect on both my phone and TV so I can play/pause media from my phone at any time and send files (like new launcher wallpapers) easily without adb.

So I actually have a setup similar to this, but with a mini pc (m.2 to 6x sata adapter, each one connected to a 4tb ssd - well eventually, only 2 are populated currently) and I did use a dremmel to cut through the metal top of the case and it was still a horrible sharp mess, even after I tried sanding it down. I ended up 3d printing a custom i/o shield to stop my cables (or fingers) getting sliced on it and that actually works really well!

Edit: I dropped some pics of my setup in the comments on the original thread!

No public transport support, at least in the UK :(

I’m currently switching between a Google Maps webview wrapper which has gotten particularly buggy recently, and CityMapper which has unblockable ads and only really works inside cities, not commuting in/out/between them.

I’m desperately looking for a good alternative

There is an ATV LineageOS image available for the 2021 Onn for anyone who wants to go that route https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/dopinder/

I actually wonder sometimes how it’s survived this long

So I’ve been involved with the repo a little (just some basic issue triage and documentation stuff) and all I can say is that Yuliskov has made that project his life’s work. If anything happens to him, we’re all screwed!

I personally do have a degree in computer science, but I feel like I would be doing this anyway, even if I didn’t. My degree didn’t teach me how to self host

Hey, don’t be sexist… They also let women stare at boobs discreetly

No, you can use your own account if you like but the “default” usage is to log in anonymously

Sorry, I’m confused here, why do you need to make a Google account?

I wouldn’t have minded using their app instead, but I don’t have the Play Store on my phone (I’m on GOS)

Any reason why you aren’t just using the Aurora store?

Thank you for your work on this project!

Higher chance for paper jams to occur maybe?

The DSi had a built-in browser, the DS and DS Lite require a game card plus a memory expansion pack to use a browser. Even at the time, website support was spotty at best so I dread to think how a browser based on Opera 8.5 from 2006 would work on the modern web

Wait, that’s actually a very good point. I didn’t think of that!

On my homelab I don’t mind so much as I have 64gb of ram and and 8tb of storage, but on my vps I want everything to be relatively lightweight
