duckduckgo-locales VS LibreELEC.tv

By magic I mean the complexity brought on by the heavy use of metaclasses, patterns employed via convention rather than enforced by code (implying that you have to read enough of the code before you understand the patterns) and other similar leaky abstractions.

Don't get me wrong, I do think Django is one of those deep modules[1] where the interface makes it a pleasure to work with but the internals do need effort. Especially the ORM layer.

There have been others in the past, but this seems to be the most polished and ready to use ATM(for FBSD).

Another would be NanoBSD (also FBSD).

For NetBSD you're on your own, starting from there https://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/how_to_create_bootable_net... , and/or asking on https://daemonforums.org/ , https://www.unitedbsd.com/ (taking inspiration from some 'live-distro' discussed there. like 'OS-108'), reddit(?), 'crap-overflow', and even https://www.linuxquestions.org/.

Of course you're free to use the official NetBSD mailing lists, and some obscure IRC-channels in even more obscure IRC-networks also :-)

(You won't be spoon-fed, and are expected to have read the manuals and other documentations...)

A good alternative to writing your own echo server and debugging requests one route at a time is requestbin, which will gladly take any requests you throw at it, log them, and optionally return a response of your choice.

Lots of different implementations and hosts: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=requestbin

I was thinking that people who live in an environment like this are most in need of a robot to help them.

Not to be snarky, but UPS fires are one of the leading causes of datacenter fires: https://duckduckgo.com/?hps=1&q=UPS+Fire+datacenter&ia=web

- Two LibreELEC (https://libreelec.tv/) mediaplayers in house (yes, one is not enough in my big family).

- One for hosting low usage applications at home network (Unifi controller and some more).

- Octoprint (https://octoprint.org) connected to the 3d-printer.

- One on my desk for hardware hacking – mostly as just a PC with GPIO.

- Some Raspberry Pi Zeros as security cameras.

I'm still learning about the cache drive options-- my typical use of the NAS will be to backup some desktop / laptop computers, stream MP3s or play MP3s via SAMBA shares on my LibreELEC Raspberry Pi, occasionally watch some family mobile phone videos (h.265), and possibly run some VMs to practice some coding-- Would I benefit from installing NVME Cache disks at all? Even at the recommended minimum of 2.5% of my volume size? I'm confused why the KB proposes 2.5% of the volume size, but the whitepaper says to only bother with the amount of actual hot data used because whatever space is leftover is used as cold storage. Is the SSD Cache Advisor useful? Anyone have issues with its recommendations?

LibreElec… an image that just runs Kodi. https://libreelec.tv/

You don't need to use an IR receiver. I know at least the rpi 4 supports CEC. You can use the remote that came with your TV, the TV will relay commands back to the pi over HDMI. You can also use a 2.4 GHz remote (I got a wechip G20) and then yoink this hwdb file from LibreELEC: https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/blob/master/packages/sysutils/systemd/hwdb.d/70-local-keyboard.hwdb (You can also reference this file for names of remotes to look into)

Crash related to Python 3.10.x and 3.11.x is fixed on Libreelec Now :  https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/7340

LibreElec: Free

Just do UEFI. Then install https://libreelec.tv/ (just see videos in YouTube for the UI interface, looks etc). Get a $10 IR/mediacenter/remote. You have a smartTV.
