Sweet! Let me know if it works for you!

It’s a Sony TV, a Bravia model from many years ago. It runs on a raspberry pi 2, connected with HDMI. There is a setting called CEC (if I remember correctly) that was automatically enabled, and lets the TV remote’s commands pass thru to the RPI over the HDMI cable. Should work for most TVs, but if you use an HDMI to DisplayPort/usbC adapter, some of those might not work right.

I hope you can try it out because it’s very convenient as a user. And as the administrator you can still connect a mouse/keyboard or use a smartphone to configure the more powerful things Kodi can do.

The one that came with my tv.

I just click up down left right enter return and it works.

You’re describing a completely foreign experience to me. I’ve always controlled Kodi with the TV remote. It’s kind of annoying to type in stuff, but I mostly use Kodi to record and watch jeopardy.

Not OP but I found Kodi incredibly intuitive up until the point that something didn’t behave as expected. Then it was very complicated and support was difficult to find and understand.

Not even that much work. Libre elec is pretty simple as long as you don’t do anything too creative

Am also an idiot. I have several raspberry pis and UPS boards mostly operating on hopes and dreams, and the most useful things I do are a single-user nextcloud instance that’s even accessible over the Internet, and a smb drive that’s always accessible

Let’s be real the type of hotel I can afford doesn’t want customers that care about the Wi-Fi

I will try to investigate further, but for instance if you go to duckduckgo.com, it says something like “this website is not on our whitelist, let us know if you think you need access.” It’s very annoying, so I avoid the WiFi when I can.

unless you are important they’ll tell you to pound sand.

What can you do if the school has a whitelist of domains they accept HTTPS (443) connections for?

So did you buy ecc ram?

IIRC they warn people not to use recovery emails if they’re concerned about leaking information, idk why though

In that case why would it be a bad thing to change the name to something else?

OpenGeeko?

If there’s no requirement, maybe openSUSE will just formally politely refuse to change names

I agree that vim forces you to learn before you can use it, but it is possible to learn the bare minimum of vim.

I get by with a very basic understanding of insert mode and the other mode where :q! quits

There is some truth to it. If you are installing a server distro it may not come with nmcli by default. Maybe it will. But good to think about

I really enjoy byobu, especially since it has nice colors and is a mature well supported project

I thought peertube attempts to be a complete replacement
