  • 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.
