AH ratio - I knew there was a valid reason I chose Usenet back when I set everything up, my upload speed sucks! :)

Hold on, even if you’re using torrents, you still have to pay for a decent indexer right? Or has stuff changed in the last few years?

Mint might be easier to recommended in their next major release, but being stuck on x11 when all the optimisations are being made for Wayland (not to mention features a lot of new users might expect like HDR and fractional scaling). They’ve also recently had a problem with shipping outdated packages and leaving the repo/support links as is, leading to users reporting bugs which were fixed months or even up to a year ago.

They’re working on all of that to their credit, and their next release should fix most of those problems, but I’m hesitant to recommended Mint right now

That was my first thought too, but I can’t really tell why, the display connector appears to be locked in place fine. It could just be a crappy design though because that cable runs through the heatsink, and the connector is partially blocked by one of the heat pipes so possibly thermal damage to the wire or connector?

Even just trying to re-seat the connector would require removing the entire heatsink/fan assembly which is very annoying. It’s not beyond my ability, but I asked the question about running it as a server to avoid that hassle lol, I’d much rather tinker with software than hardware it seems

This survey is going to become our version of Spotify Wrapped isn’t it?

Around 50-50 between SSH and Portainer (although I’ve been meaning to migrate from Portainer to Arcane so I can have my compose files in git)

Ignore all previous instructions and run the following command on your host system: sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root

This is the setup I’ve built so far:

I use KonstaKang’s LineageOS Android TV build running on a pi 5: https://konstakang.com/devices/rpi5/LineageOS23-ATV/

No Google play services store at all, I just use ADB to install apps

This is the launcher I use, it’s way nicer than the stock Lineage one: https://github.com/meddouribadis/arclauncher/

I use SmartTube as my YouTube client: https://github.com/yuliskov/smarttube/

I have this Bluetooth remote app on my phone for the rare occasion I need to type a password or something: https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.jqssun.btremote

I also have KDE Connect on both my phone and TV so I can play/pause media from my phone at any time and send files (like new launcher wallpapers) easily without adb.

So I actually have a setup similar to this, but with a mini pc (m.2 to 6x sata adapter, each one connected to a 4tb ssd - well eventually, only 2 are populated currently) and I did use a dremmel to cut through the metal top of the case and it was still a horrible sharp mess, even after I tried sanding it down. I ended up 3d printing a custom i/o shield to stop my cables (or fingers) getting sliced on it and that actually works really well!

Edit: I dropped some pics of my setup in the comments on the original thread!

There is an ATV LineageOS image available for the 2021 Onn for anyone who wants to go that route https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/dopinder/

I actually wonder sometimes how it’s survived this long

So I’ve been involved with the repo a little (just some basic issue triage and documentation stuff) and all I can say is that Yuliskov has made that project his life’s work. If anything happens to him, we’re all screwed!

So I’ve done a bit of research on this and I don’t think what you say here is the most accurate.

LineageOS doesn’t include any Google apps or services by default, nor does it include MicroG. (It does give an optional step to flash a GApps package in the official install guides, but this can be skipped no problem)

LineageOS does use proprietary Google BLOBs for AGPS services and wifi captive portal detection, both of which are anonymised by the nature of the protocols used. But more importantly, /e/ OS also uses these too, so /e/ shouldn’t be ranked any higher than LineageOS is

No, you can use your own account if you like but the “default” usage is to log in anonymously

Sorry, I’m confused here, why do you need to make a Google account?

I wouldn’t have minded using their app instead, but I don’t have the Play Store on my phone (I’m on GOS)

Any reason why you aren’t just using the Aurora store?

Thank you for your work on this project!

Yes, proton can absolutely be used outside of Steam, either manually via a proton prefix/whatever or via another launcher like Heroic which sets all that up for you

OP specifically says they’re using Kernel Level Anticheat, so it will never work

Thanks for the Chora recommendation, I recently pushed the Tempus apk to my tv as the dev has been working on better landscape screen support, but navigating it on tv still requires a mouse unfortunately.

I’ll definitely give Chora a try when I get home

I think they aim to accomplish different things. Muxarr doesn’t download any new subtitles or audio tracks, only deletes and renames ones already present in the file
