Poor quality is fine, I really just want to catch a game or two that I’ve missed. Probably be listening to it more than actually watching. This looks perfect. Thanks!

Hmmm. I’m not familiar with mad titan. I haven’t been on the kodi train in a long time. Might be worth a look. Thanks!

Oh nice! That might end up being the solution then. Thanks for the reply

Damn. Looked perfect until I saw the date of the most recent replay: February 2024 (the Super Bowl)

I wonder if there’s a setting or filter I can’t see on mobile. I’ll check on my pc when I get home.

Thanks for the reply!

I’ve thought more on this yesterday, and I think my issue is-

I don’t want something that ‘just works’, I want to BUILD something that ‘just works’

The distinction is that I don’t want to buy premade solutions. I want to make them. Not because of the customizability, but because the fun is in the building. Think Lego- hundreds of people build the exact same product in the end, but why are they sold in pieces? Just assemble the damn things and sell them complete (with markup). You think more people wanna buy that?? I’d bet against it.

Hard agree. In fact, I think there’s a market for JUST the guides. It’s true that there’s a TON of guides out there already, from old blogs to YouTube, but the issue is: all of them start or end with: “your use case might differ, so perhaps this solution isn’t for you.” Or “make sure this setup is compatible with your specific hardware”

For example: I want to set up some sort of backup/cloud storage type system. Well there’s about 1400 ways to accomplish that. I can easily just grab one and go, but I’ll always wonder- should I have done this a different way? Would my life be easier/more secure if I chose a different set up?

So offering hardware that is compatible with whatever “stack” of services included would be a huge plus. Sorta like getting a raspberry pi and following a specific raspberry pi tutorial- you know the issues you get aren’t gonna be due to incompatibility.

I think it really boils down to the scale of one’s home lab- are you just tinkering to get some skills and make something cool? Or are you hoping to do something much much bigger? Different software solutions fit those extremes differently.

Sorry, got off rambling there. I guess I’ve been down the home lab hardware/software wormhole for too long these last few weeks.

Damn. This doesn’t match my experience in Hawaii at all. My in-laws live there, and everytime I visit I sustain my life with fruit and Avacados. I’d kill for some plant based SPAM.

You forgot v) collaborates internationally for work, requiring them to be awake early to maximize overlapping hours in their workday.

But even I know not to do noisy shit outside until at least 10. Those few quiet hours in the morning where it seems I’m the only person alive are to drink coffee and cherish.

Invest in a standing desk. Sitting all day, even in a good chair is no good for you. Mix it up.

Perfect. I’m sold.

Thanks

Yeah… the depths of my laziness knows no bounds. But this whole downward spiral of Firefox might be the push I need to get my shit together.

Any reason not to use bitwarden?

I probably need to just take the plunge and start using an actual password manager. Just seems so daunting.

Thanks for the reply.
