Raspberry pi/small NUC with a screen, in a digital kiosk mode. Just load a static html file with some js to update the clock. No keyboard, no touch input, no way to break it. Connect to it via ssh over tailscale or wireguard VPN to update the HTML with the notes you’d like to display. This way if internet goes down, the clock still works and whatever was displayed wrt messages stays displayed, and you don’t have to worry about the increased overhead of home assistant changes or updates breaking things. It will remain consistent since it’s just HTML and js. If you want less technical family members to be able to update the display…idk, seems like a headache.

Easier ci/cd integration and viewing diffs from my phone on the toilet. Nothing I can’t do with regular git, it would just take more effort.

Is there a reason I shouldn’t use gitea locally?

I’ve used almost all the addons I have on desktop for years with an extension collection and FF nightly.

Blame users for not understanding semantic versioning and just wanting a bigger number.

Navidrome, symfonium, lidarr+soulseek, npm, and for scrobbling I use multi-scrobbler hooked into maloja.

Host your own it takes a minute to do with docker compose.

I use newpipe x sponsorblock, invidious, and pinhole as well, but it’s worth pointing out to those unfamiliar- pihole does nothing for YouTube ads. Pihole is great for sites that add google ads or random junk to their pages, it has no ability to block ads that come from the same domain as a sites content because it is DNS based.

I’m not condoning or promoting piracy here (that’s against the rules, innit?)

Before flaming you should check which community you’re posting to.

Two- with hot sauce in the middle, so you know which one broke.

Privacy concerns are a major issue for many people when it comes to using AI language models

This author has no clue how any of this works.

Unfortunately most use Libby/Overdrive which puts DRM on the books and only lets you read through their clunky app or kindle.

Sure, until the VC firm that bought overdrive (backend for Libby) decides to run it into the ground even further. Z-lib and MAM all the way. Can’t sell my reading habits if they don’t collect my reading habits.

I watched an over the air TV show recently, and they rolled an ozempic ad every single break. I would rather watch an hour of the save the children or ASPCA ads to be honest.

Be thankful you don’t have the drug ads. They’re an infestation down here. The companies advertise the crap out of a drug that costs the patient 3-4k+/mo, it enters the doctors subconscious so they’re more likely to recommend to the patients, pharma company makes bank, the lawsuits roll in right around the time the copyright on the brand name ends (they’re all shit drugs and barely more effective than placebo, yet with knarly side effects), they close it down and let the generic manufacturers fight it out while they pump the next shit pill or shot. Rinse and repeat.

Sports betting needs to go too, but I bet they’ll just move those into shows like big tobacco did.

Indeed. Everything is stored in plain markdown files you can move around and edit elsewhere. I’d like to use a FOSS alternative when I can, but second best is something I can easily jump ship from and not lose data.

you’re on windows, get sharex. It’s miles ahead of anything else. It’s the only thing I miss from daily driving windows.

I’m not a UI designer
