Chromecast / Firestick Self Host Replacement

Jump

  • This is the first time I’ve heard anyone say Kodi has a learning curve. I’m curious what you found difficult?

  • The mini pc is the most flexible. Batocera works really well and includes:

    • Kodi to stream local media and can act as an Airplay receiver
    • the ability to run Flatpaks
    • a nice 10 ft UI
    • emulation backends and moonlight game streaming
    • the ability to pair Xbox and PlayStation controllers

    Get a usb IR receiver like FLIRC or something similar with HDMI CEC to control everything via standard remote.

  • Scoop is preferred as it provides versioning and user installs compared to winget which are typically machine wide and require administrative roles.

    • What password manager do you use ?

    Jump

  • Bitwarden for password management and Raivo OTP for 2FA\MFA.

    Fantastic, lightweight, open source, and secure.

    • Telemetry with Arkenfox?

    Jump

  • Per one of the Arkenfox maintainers: “There's nothing wrong with mozilla's telemetry - it uses PRIO, and it uses GLEAN, and it doesn't collect any PII, and it helps decisions upstream (and I'm not talking pedantic UI changes) that benefit everyone. Opt-in doesn't work. I'm sure you can google why. There is no reason to distrust Mozilla here - you're using their product” https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/issues/1659#issuecomment-1518353397

    That being said, if anyone wishes to block the telemetry you can do so by following the Arkenfox recommendations and setting up uBO: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions And/or a network wide DNS blocker (which OP did).
