Thanks for the CoMaps pointer, didn't know about that / issues with Organic Maps

I'm not sure what's new here.

They have multi-geo already... we've been using it for months

MythTV - as others have already mentioned. It's designed to work with the 10' interface

Even records TV programs (presuming you have tuner hardware of course) - which I don't think the others can do?

We don't stream Netflix, but we do watch other various streams (ie BBC iPlayer), yoochoob, etc - all works fine, inc... video files from various sources, and music...

We use it with a Logitech K400 wireless keyboard and it works great for us.

I have played with a more traditional looking TV wand remote in the past, but you still need a keyboard to type in program websites, names, etc. so the K400 became our defacto remote.

MythTV used to come with Ubuntu as Mythbuntu back in the day, but most of the pre-installed distros have fallen away, so you'd need to pick a distro and install it yourself.

It's a very mature application, so you won't need to keep updating every time you want to watch anything.

Yeah, managed to work with the weather for once... pressure washing the green slime off the patio when it was raining, starting to paint the shed when it was dry... some small(ish) jobs and the garden just looks fresh again.

Found some old 8mm film... might take that to the photo shop in town to both help him keep the shop open and get the unknown films onto ~~VHS~~ ~~DVD~~ USB

It's just "easier" to connect devices to the internet and provide the end user with an (unmaintained, insecure) app on their phone to see it's doing something.

But, I seriously doubt I could find any updated firmware for my inverter (which is not connected to the internet)

Yes. And No.

I have a home made (arch btw) NAS that stores all our files - mostly via syncthing, even from remote family.

That was it.

Then I installed Immich so that we could see the photos... so... it's technically just a NAS, but it does now have a web application running on it...

Videos & Music are on a completely separate MythTV box which existed before the NAS - I saw no point in moving ~3TB of data to a separate box that would need to be powered when I want to watch / listen to something... my NAS powers itself up & down throughout the day to save electricity (and it was interesting to learn how to make it know when it was / wasn't being used)

TBH, until I read this, I didn't even know about it.

I need to get out more, I know.

Participating countries reported the seizure of 41 servers and over 100 GB of data,

That seems like a small amount of data considering the size of the operation.

Download with yt-dlp. All of it. Even into a single folder if that's easier.

Then run it all through Picard and that'll do everything else for you - albumart, metadata, folders, filenames, the lot.

Anything that Picard doesn't know about, enter it into the MusicBrainz db to give back to the community.

Done.

We use VNC as we can record the sessions easily for later priof / discussion with our customers.

It's in a VPN tunnel of course.

But of course, we also don't use Google, AWS, etc as they're not secure enough for us and we have our own SOCs

You've reminded me of a slightly off-topic point...

I tried to put Linux on an old laptop for a friend so their kids could use it... it had some weird (Realtek?) chip that was a combination of things (ie video and networking?) and Linux just couldn't drive it, so I had to give up.

That's the only Linux failure I've had and it was also the one where I told them it would definitely work...
