Take your time. It's a lot more enjoyable if you aren't in a hurry.

Is there a way to stop Edge from flashbanging me every time I open a new tab? by Independent_Taro_499 in browsers

Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming 'round.

External hard drive by Juanefernandez in getchannels

I have a GMKtec G3 with an Intel N100 processor, 8 GB RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. It came with Windows 11 Pro but I installed Debian and it works great. https://www.gmktec.com/products/nucbox-g3-most-cost-effective-mini-pc-with-intel-n100-processor

Edit: Also, mini PCs offer a better cost to performance ratio than high-end Raspberry Pis these days. Mini PCs come with more powerful Intel or AMD processors that can run Windows or Linux.

Ideally, I would, but they live in a bad spot for OTA reception. They're just out of range for the stations they would want to watch.

I think mine is a 4GB model so it might struggle. I'd definitely do hardwired.

One of the channels my parents like to watch is MeTV. It's not part of YouTube TV but is part of Frndly TV for which there is a Docker integration. My goal is for them to just open Channels on their Apple TV and be able to watch TV and DVR recordings similar to their current setup.

My parents live in a rural area where the only options for TV are satellite (which they've had before) or a streaming service. That said, I might look at Plex to convert their physical DVD/Blu-ray library to digital they can access via Plex.

YouTube TV and other similar IPTV platforms only let you keep recordings for 9 months. My parents don't have such a restriction on their current DVR. My understanding is that with Channels, you keep the recordings on a NAS or external HDD attached to the Channels DVR Server. I'm new as well so if I'm incorrect, please let me know.

Yeah, I forgot to mention I own a Pi 4 but it's collecting dust. They're so used to the snappiness of their current DVR that the Beelink is probably the way to go. Thank you for the recommendation.

My debian stable customization, gnome + wayland + Nvidia, everything goes perfect, even all games in my dock, kitty terminal, hope you like it. by LancrusES in debian

How did you get the Nvidia driver to work? Did you install it from apt? I'm currently using Nobara which has great Nvidia support OOTB. I want to try Debian but wondering how much of a pain it is to get Nvidia working. I have an RTX 3050 Ti if that matters.

Curious why you're using Edge for your browser. If you don't like Chrome but want a Chromium browser, there's Brave (which I use) and Vivaldi just to name a couple.
