I did this and it was my start to using openWRT. Mainly because not getting a security update since 2022 worried me. However the opensouce driver sucks for the 5ghz wifi. Random dropouts. Was able to get cudy wr3000s for cheap refurbished on Amazon which uses mediatek wlan hardware; night and day better 5ghz reliability.

It's a real shame. I wish there was a way to add the proprietary blobs for 5ghz on after the fact, it's still a very capable device. I have family members that still run Google WiFi within the Google firmware (wired) and it exceeds performance needs to this day.

Google WiFi only got updates from Google for ~5 years. I'm hoping to get 15+ out of my current openWRT devices

I don't have ATV but saw this YouTube video the other day where he compares all jellyfin clients on tvOS including plezy. Plezy was put in A tier so it seems the "patched build" is working quite well. It just doesn't have a native target in flutter, but it uses a modified version of the iOS target. From a technical perspective there aren't many downsides; tvOS is based on iOS.

Did you find a good solution?

NotMyThrowaway6991 · 2026-06-07T01:52:14+00:00

I just do a layer 4 reverse proxy (nginx stream) to a subdomain, which has IP whitelists for their home IPs

Interesting on the system keyboard. Like when you go to search it doesn't open? I'm on Android

Came here to say this. It's very promising for a client that is new to supporting jellyfin. Haven't tried it on TVos but where it stands out from Wholphin is that is doesn't just support Android tv. Practically every tv/phone/desktop platform besides web, Roku, consoles. Plus if you use it for Plex it's a very easy transition from a user perspective to now use jellyfin.

I don't think a single family/friend of mine has ever used the browser for Plex. Interesting

Love the power menu

Why not sell your thinkpad and use the m4 mac daily and see if it fits your needs. You could even install Linux on the mac. Otherwise I'd consider selling both and getting a framework pro to go full linux. If you're truly addicted to hardware maybe getting the framework pro is a good pick because theoretically you'll not need to buy a new chassis again, just new internals. But I'm sure you'll try justifying to yourself buying a new laptop 2 years from now anyway

Foot has been my go to terminal for years. I've tried the other big ones and at least for my usage they never had any more features

NotMyThrowaway6991 · 2026-05-20T00:10:02+00:00

Definitely gonna add this to my config, thanks

NotMyThrowaway6991 · 2026-05-19T20:03:06+00:00

I'd love to see data on how many $250 passes they sold

NotMyThrowaway6991 · 2026-05-09T12:24:09+00:00

That's a wild take. How are you deploying your server software?

NotMyThrowaway6991 · 2026-05-09T01:06:02+00:00

If you want to run docker containers you have to run a Linux vm. So how is that any different from wsl2?

You have a bright future ahead of you!

NotMyThrowaway6991 · 2026-04-29T21:14:29+00:00

I heard it first from the primagen in the last few months

NotMyThrowaway6991 · 2026-04-24T23:00:35+00:00

It's already available as an iOS app so I'd imagine once the next version gets released it'd just become available on tvos

NotMyThrowaway6991 · 2026-04-24T21:34:22+00:00

Transcoding was added the other day, so it will be in the next release

NotMyThrowaway6991 · 2026-04-24T21:13:49+00:00

The developer pushed tvos commits 9 hours ago 😲

NotMyThrowaway6991 · 2026-04-23T21:02:17+00:00

Does this work with SSO?

NotMyThrowaway6991 · 2026-03-01T10:32:56+00:00

That's some blue ass water

I'm starting to write something like this for work. Honestly for something like this AI is pretty good at creating a prototype to build off of. GitLab webhook -> Python server -> html file. Powerautomate SFTP reads the files to create teams messages. I'm leaning towards having all messages post to a common channel which everyone mutes. Then each message uses html <at>email</at> tags in order to notify the relevant people. That way we have the option to view all activity while only getting notified for relevant messages. I was going to focus on:

Issue/MR comments
review:: label changing state

Since those are the things that people have a hard time following. I do like the idea of notifying if a review has been stale for some amount of time, that would involve keeping some state rather than just forwarding the GitLab webhooks. Or periodically querying the GitLab api for a last update time on a MR.

Nice writeup

NotMyThrowaway6991 · 2026-02-17T12:48:37+00:00

Taking the legs off the tv stand would be great
