The best way (but not the cheapest) to emulate an android TV with Netflix is to buy a Chromecast for the existing TV and then access a service with that Dell Optiplex you were thinking of.
Then you can do this:
Jellyfin on TrueNAS. Super easy to install and administrate and will not break or complain like windows without prolonged internet access. Jellyfin will have 0 problems without internet where Plex will eventually have some authentication issues because they are closed down and proprietary.
Then you would just install the jellyfin app on the Chromecast (or any Android TV box), add a few accounts for whoever wants a seperate watch list, and off you go: Netflix without Netflix.
How you get content is still a hole though. Workflow of ripping Blu-Ray is very different than torrenting. For the latter you will have a harder time without internet, but setting up radarr/sonarr/prowlarr/bazarr is worth it.
All in one pieces of equipment tend to be mediocre, unintuitive, and/or or bad at many things instead of very good at one thing.
Your plan is not currently to get an “all in one” device in any case. It is to have a computer plus a smart remote and try to get them to interact. The smart remote will cost more than just getting a proper android TV dongle with a remote and work worse for your family and take way more time for you to keep working.

I want to expand my smart home setup. My project this spring is integrating my smart gas and electric meters into homeassistant. We are completely stripping the house so I am wiring up everything with KNX with a nee Zwave devices where needed. Greatly expanding the smartish home.
I also have to set up a proper network. Right now I am using my Proximus Internet Box from the ISP which admittedly is pretty customizable.
Well, considering going from a 40W idle system to 80 to 100W is a >100% increase in power.
In Belgium we pay 0.30€ per kWh, so running the entire year at 80W average is approximately 150€ difference with idle the entire year. That definitely helps. That is 1/3 the cost of a lawnmower or a month of groceries.
But in the winter it is a 80-100W small heater that can keep a local area a degree or so warmer.
When you start paying your own power bill it really adds up. I wish I had gone for an intel NUC sometimes.
Hi friends. I’m a newbie in self-hosting, though I’ve been managing (virtual) linux servers at work for a couple of years. I’m completely ignorant on the hardware choices out there, hopefully you can point me to the right direction. ...
Tinytronics.nl -> Pi4 model B 8GB: 87€ and in stock. The 4GB model is 68€. They also have orange Pi for a higher budget.
Kiwi-electronics.com -> Pi 4 model B, 4GB? 63€. They also have all the pi accessories you could want.
If you are going to use paperless for important documents, and if you want to not lose data for sure, get a 1TB cheap HDD or something and a USB3.0 adapter. SD cards will eventually fail.
Otherwise, get an old used laptop 2nd hand. I used an old HP probook G1 laptop for about a year for my server. It didn’t use much power at all.
Yes, but moderation teams on the fediverse are very small, and by nature of it, can make hundreds of account of different servers all trailing that would need to be individually sought out and banned.
The distribution “managed by a single person” depends on hundreds of people working on different sofware to keep up. It’s not “one person doing better than the thousands of Microsoft employees combined” implication they are pushing
Windows 11 beat the linux distros by up to 20% in 1% lows which are argued as much more important by most tech reviewers. It wasn’t consistant at all which means that there was a giant margin of error.
I love linux and linux gaming has gotten radically better, but I am tired of tech “journalism” literally just cherrypicking, misleading, clickbait trash.
Though the other commenter saying "that sounds like it is made up" is definitely not presenting an opinion as fact, it is challenging that you presented your opinion as fact (in the uninformed person's eyes) with no sources to back it up (in your original comment). But then you came with proof afterwards that it has indeed been studied and is a fact.
That does not mean that he was "stating his sexist stereotype as fact".
If I said:
"Multiple studies have shown that the majority of people think the earth is flat"
with no sources.
Then anyone would be very reasonable to say "that sounds like you are making it up" (which in this case is true).
They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do. ...
Battlefront 2 (the original), still active when the servers have been down for years
Titanfall 2. Official servers aren’t technically down, but pretty much unusable and NorthStar is the alternative
Counter strike 1.6 is pretty much just community-run servers, same with day of defeat: source. I don’t know if they are tied with valve that if valve shut them down, they wouldn’t be searchable.
Supreme commander: Forged Alliance
Hell, Battle for Middle Earth II still has a small community
Valheim has never had official servers. I run my own via docker on debian
Unreal Tournament 1999
Minecraft (official servers aren’t down, but if they shutdown there would still be 2000 servers)
For the casual selfhoster, The Node 304 is hard to beat. Great cooling potential (U14S) with a 140mm exhaust, ATX power supply, 6 3.5" + 2 SSDs, and GPU all in <20L. I can literally sneak my server in anywhere!
Randy is too easy for me mid-game. Cassandra I got a bunch of difficult raids together with a nuclear winter as well as a cold snap that I barely survived.
With Randy I get a raid every now and then and a bunch of non-useful traders. On the same difficulty it is really too easy and doesn't allow me to grow my colony through captures as readily.

I'm interested to know how they fool the AI while keeping it invisible to the human eye. Do they make additional layers? Do they change every nth pixel? Is every poisoning associated with another poisoned object? (Will a dog always be poisoned towards a cat?, etc...)
Depends on hand size maybe? The steam controller for me and one of my friends was simply instantly completely comfortable. Something like dual shocks are way too small and give hand cramps. SC feels like it was made for my hands lol
I think it is somewhat logical as there is literally an entire massive genre of "Japanese RPG."
There absolutely is something suggesting that: precedent. Though it could be Czech RPGs, Columbian RPGs, Cuban RPGs, or Canadian RPGs. Though Chinese RPGs would be more likely given the game Dev industry there and population.
Also the fact that outside of the tabletop community, nobody calls video game RPGs CRPGs.
As per the title, I'm looking to find some titles to play with my kids, especially RPGs, as Baldur's Gate 3 as struck the eye here but I'm not willing to fork the money for the graphics card required to run it. ...
I will preface this by the fact that I am a home gardener and vegetarian for elecological reasons.
Farmers markets all over the world now days are not farmers markets.
They are mass grocery resellers. They buy in bulk from wholesale grocery suppliers and just sell at the farmers market.
Pineapples in minnesota in April? Sure, that is from a "local farmer".
I live in Belgium and we have cheesemongers with 100 types of non-local cheeses, chemical coated oranges and summer fruits in January complete with stickers from mass produced fruit and veggies? Not only that, but it is then more expensive than a grocery store.
Not to mention that in both the US and here in belgium, farmers markets are ~50% non-food items with reselling mass produced clothing or blatantly selling really cheap candles and soap and other things that clearly game from mass produced hobby kits for a 200% markup.
Farmers markets literally aren't farmer's markets anymore. They are just open-air resellers.
I would like to help an open-source project with UI design and UX design. I have over 18 years of experience in the field and have worked with desktop and mobile software on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Windows Mobile/Windows Phone. Unfortunately my knowledge of Linux is very limited but I'm eager to learn. Could you help me find a project?

@linux
@macrumors@windowscentral@windows
I think that one of the projects that needs it the most right now, a complete overhaul, is FreeCAD.
It needs a good, competent UX designer. Nothing has changed UX wise for like 6 years. Everyone who begins to use it quits saying that it is the biggest hurdle.
It is literally the only real classical FOSS CAD software and they have no UX designer as far as I know.
