I just want you to know, I appreciated your deez nuts joke.

Holy shit that timed perfectly with me scrolling the comments the first time.

But it's not ready because insert niche use case that only applies to me and no, I will not seek out open source alternatives to insert closed source software

That’s super cool! I’ve been wanting to setup an offsite backup rig at my parents place and using an old phone to run it would be super ideal but I just don’t have any hardware that’s compatible with postmarketOS. Maybe one day ill bite the bullet and just buy a compatible used phone to do it with.

Running FOSS on closed source systems. Classic.

See, I used to remember being able to go outside and play during the summer when I was a kid. Now days it seems like of you dare go outside in the summer you'll be a puddle of sweat within 30mins.

Just leave it on. Lock the screen and walk away.

Shhh. I wanna be Canadian.

I have three ONN 4K android TV boxes with smarttube loaded on them. I only really watch YouTube and movies from my file server so it's perfect for me. Plus they're dirt cheap. I replaced all of my old Chromecasts with them when Google started serving Ads in the YouTube app when casting to a TV which they surprisingly didn't do for quite a few years.

Reminds me of that time I updated my UEFI firmware which automatically re-enabled secure boot which caused my Nvidia driver to fail to load on boot because Nvidia doesn't sign them so I was stuck with the noveau(spelling?) driver which would crash when I tried to log into my DE. What an adventure figuring that out was. Oh, and the cherry on top: updating the firmware didn't fix the initial issue I was troubleshooting.

If I didn't need a large amount of storage I'd totally do this. As it stands it's hard or prohibitively expensive to get 30TB of storage connected to a laptop with reasonable read/write speeds.

Makes me think of the game "Smushi Come Home"
