I was imagining a "I just wiped my hard drive and flashed the current version of Debian. Let's get basic services up."

I wish there was a "hey watch me code/self host" channel that helped noobs see how to approach the problem of starting. Usually their is a "hey watch me code" YouTube that is old enough to have a critical breaking point (some library updated) so a noob finds it impossible.

If you are successful in this, perhaps a twitch channel walking through the basics running on a regular ish basis

Economics say that technological advances hurt those displaced for a short period of time but the entire rest of the economy improves and the displaced people are smart enough to find other jobs in the new economy with higher standard of living...

Unless the value created never makes it back to the economy...

Better question, can big ag dope up all the cows in unsanitary conditions to lower their costs by 10 cents per pound (nobody cares about mystical superbugs) /s

Disambiguation:A cubic yard of sustainable concrete or a yard full of trees?

Testosterone is a hormone. Excess testosterone causes heart issues. (I am not familiar all with current steroids). Injecting crap into eyes can easily cause damage. Ametur surgery has a lot of scarring. Deaths from feedback loops of a diabetic coma with artificial kidneys happen. There is a lot of risk with "bio hacking" and a lot of "supplements" are either dangerous or snake oil

My understanding is people who make hardware upgrades to their body:

  • ametur surgery to add a magnet to your index finger
  • taking eye enzymes from cave fish and injecting it into a friends eye rk get short term super night vision
  • attaching two prosthetic legs that makes you run faster and longer
  • open source hardware and software for an artificial pancreas

Stuff like that

Cost of electricity is non zero. Distributed computing between pis might be the most cost effective way (hardware and electricity)

I did so when I bought before the steam sale. They credited my steam wallet with the diff (not quite a true refund, but shrug)

I bought the rii remote/controller/keyboard/mouse, a raspberry pi 4 8gb, a 4k micro HDMI, a rpi4 power cord, a 64gb micro SD card, rpi4 case with fan. I then attached it to my TV with some zip ties and a L brace

  • I installed rasbian 64bit.
  • I installed steam link (have to go to tty command line to have it work though because bullseye doesn't have previous buster driver support yet
  • I installed kodi > Plex addon
  • I installed kodi > YouTube addon
  • I installed kodi > jellyfin add-on with repository
  • I didn't trust the sketchy "add my repository to download and install". Disney plus on kodi, so I made a shortcut to the browser with that site
  • I made a shortcut to Netflix browser.

It isn't the same as " any phone controls sound and playback" like a chromcast, but it is private and it is better than Chromecast (higher resolution and framerate, and streams/remotelycontrols local beefy gaming computers) in some ways.

Do you know of a RPI app with a fdroid counterpart that allows clicks from a LAN smartphone?

 

Marco Polo is a "video walkie talkie" allowing videos to be recorded and sent to contacts like close irl friends and family.

I don't like their privacy policy, video degradation, and security through obscurity practices. What are some Foss (maybe end to end encryption) alternatives?
