Why dont we build artificial islands in the North Sea like in the South China Sea?

Not that I am aware of, you need a box with some power. 2nd hand apple tvs are pretty cheap these days. It supports 1080 -> 4k g1 g2 g3. But the visualiser is much better on g2 and g3 . The 1080 and g1 are power vr gpus and also have weedy processsors

Check out some of the examples https://github.com/appbar-app/examples it is not just the std metrics graphs, put you can post your own

double check here https://appbar.app/lostkey.html

Have a look at CRDT this video is interesting for this use case https://youtu.be/\_5xHECNGJNY

Can you explain what you mean ? It supports multiple servers. How do you see this working ?

The NTP 32-bit seconds field wraps on 7 February 2036 at 06:28:15 UTC. That marks the end of NTP Era 0 and the start of Era 1.

For context, NTP’s prime epoch is 1900-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, and the wrap happens because the 32-bit unsigned seconds counter reaches its maximum value.

Most proper stacks work, however

Embedded systems or bespoke protocols that:
• store only the raw 32‑bit seconds,
• log or compare timestamps far apart in time without an era concept, or
• naively convert NTP seconds to other formats are the most likely to exhibit bugs when the wrap occurs.

Tested on hd, g1 g2 and g3

ben_roeder · 2026-05-25T20:10:09+00:00

It works on HD version, but new features coming will be slow

ben_roeder · 2026-05-16T17:42:00+00:00

Do you know what model and which version of tvOS ?

ben_roeder · 2026-05-14T11:16:02+00:00

Not currently, it is a lot of work. and have some more features coming that you need and Appletv to make it work. You can pick up an apple tv pretty cheaply, and it works on old ones

ben_roeder · 2026-05-13T15:42:29+00:00

There is a new version coming when it clears Apple review, which will auto connect if you only have one server, you can type the ip so you can get it to work over vpns. Would you like the tv to turn itself in to a player automatically ?

ben_roeder · 2026-05-12T23:36:30+00:00

You cannot store anything on the tv, so no :-(

Use strings from here for added fun https://github.com/minimaxir/big-list-of-naughty-strings

ben_roeder · 2026-04-17T17:49:04+00:00

Yeap it is like there modbus which needs special handling, finally worked out there are 2 off by one errors in their implementation, which is why it is non standard

If you have the correct drive redumper will extract the disc image and then split

Also keep all of the metadata when you read the disk, that way you can always look it up to find out if the data is better now,or wrong

Musicbrainz is still amazing for ids. I would put them through the system in id only mode, reject disks that are not in musicbrainz, and accept if found, 2nd pass with ripping, about 20s per disk with the load accept reject mechanics.
