    I hope everyone reading this knows that you can just not connect a “Smart” TV to the internet. Leave it as a “dumb” TV.

    Get a separate device like a Roku or AppleTV or Amazon Fire or whatever. The garbage hardware that TV manufacturers slap inside a TV so they can advertise its “smart” features will always be inferior to a purpose built external device.

    To say nothing of the security implications of having an unpatched probably unsupported IoT device running on your network for years.




  • Pretty much anything by Electric Six or Clutch. Honorable mentions to Soul Coughing and VNV Nation.


    Karma chameleon, you come and go ⋅ Karma police, arrest this ho. ⋅ Karma’s a bitch, it gets a little jumpy when you come near.

    – Electric Six, (It Gets a Little) Jumpy


    Like Harry Truman dropping bombs out of the air ⋅ Like any self-respecting multi-billionaire ⋅ This is who you are, five dancing teenage boys ⋅ Who sing their way into our hearts ⋅ Backstreet’s back, alright

    – Electric Six, Jimmy Carter


    Next thing that I did was tap out Morse code ⋅ With a wooden nickel on the receiver of the phone ⋅ Before I could complete it, I was quickly overtaken ⋅ By the angry spirits of Ronald and Nancy Reagan

    – Clutch, X-Ray Visions






  • Things I have done with my Pi(s) –

    1. AirplayPi so I can airplay to my non-Apple speakers.
    2. OctoPi so I can interact with my 3D printer via the local network.
    3. Kodi media player
    4. HomeAssistant hub
    5. PiHole network-wide adblocker
    6. I put Tailscale on an older Pi and plugged it in on my parents’ network, so I have remote access to help them with their router or whatever.
    7. RetroPi - classic game emulator. Plays just about everything prior to PS2 generation stuff.
