I still don’t understand the point of downvoting here since it doesn’t seem to affect visibility. You’ll have the dumbest take on something sitting there at -36 and I still have to look at it.

I use an older Pi (can’t remember the model) running LibreELEC + Jellyfin client + the Kodi Sync Queue plugin on the server. Jellyfin takes over the entire Kodi library on the client. Control is via CEC from the TV.
My understanding is that Raspberry Pis are not great value anymore if you don’t need the GPIO pins, so there may be a more affordable Single Board Computer out there that will run LibreELEC. Maybe even x86.
I’m also trying an Apple TV 4K which I got on sale. It works well, and there’s a free Jellyfin client app in addition to a couple of pay ones, but I haven’t figured out how to configure my universal remote so I don’t need the Apple remote.

Good find!

I doubt it because I have absolutely no idea who those eight guys are - they aren’t a band I listen to. The image for J bands is some hair rocker, and for D bands it’s some (presumably) K-Pop act, none of whom are in my library.

When I Edit Images for the band, the Logo, Primary, and Backdrop images are all appropriate, so it’s not using one of those (you’d think it would be Backdrop…) so I guess I’m digging for fanart.jpg.

I have pihole running on an old Raspberry Pi B and it just chugs along. Except for the wonky update they put out a few months ago. That took some cleaning up after.
I check the dashboard a few times a day and it’s a good way to notice network issues and misbehaving programs.
I’m also running it through cloudflared to encrypt the requests, in case my ISP is snooping on them.

Windows with PythonWin (like IDLE) for most stuff, VSCode for vibe coding, even though I haven’t explored it much. I still need to figure out how to get local coding models running so I can compare them to whatever online AI comes with VS.
Plus a Mac with TextMate.

It displays fine by default, but the image only updates every several seconds. I’m talking about a live video feed, which needs some kind of special frame which has to be bolted onto HA somehow.

I haven’t, that’s the problem. It seems like it’s possible, but I’ve given up trying for the moment.

I have a Reolink PoE camera. It works fine. As far as I can tell, it only uses the internet to check for updates and set the time, but I have it blocked off anyway. Home Assistant was actually causing it to check for updates, too, so that got disabled.
I don’t record, so I can’t help you there.
I will say that is a pain to get Home Assistant to display real-time video instead of a slide show.

Bitwarden Authenticator because Bitwarden seems to have a good reputation. I don’t use their password manager, though.
It does seem faintly insecure that it displays all of the codes at once on one page, but I’m having trouble imagining a scenario where it’s actually a problem.

I have a Reolink PoE camera. It’s plugged into Home Assistant, and some setting in the integration had it phoning home constantly looking for updates. I turned that off and now it only connects outside of my network to sync the time.
The camera has survived outside for a few years now, so no complaints.

Home Assistant for viewing

Heads up: by default, HA does not show real-time, full-framerate video - just a snapshot that updates every 10 seconds or whatever. As with all things open source, there is a way to fix it, but you have to faff around. I haven’t bothered yet, but it’s on my list.

Sonarr + Picard

Do you mean Lidarr? Sonarr is the TV one (confusingly).

CPU-heavy process

Sounds to me like a hardware issue: you’re overheating. Find a way to monitor your temps. I’m not sure how to do this on Linux, so I’m open to suggestions too.

I’ve had good luck having it write simple scripts that I could easily handle myself. For example, I needed a script to chop a directory full of log files up into archives, with some constraints. That sort of thing.
I haven’t tried it on anything more substantial.
This was using Copilot because I haven’t found a good coding model that will run locally on 16GB VRAM.

I know I once hit a snag where I wasn’t entering the complete URL to connect to. You have to put in every part of the URL, “http://”, etc.
JF isn’t smart enough to guess at any bits you leave out.

I use GitHub Desktop on Mac and PC. It works fine with local repos, too.

Given pihole’s recent record with updates, I’m not sure I want them firing automatically.
