I've got some suggestions and "tiers" of permanence for you.
Power
First, get yourself something like a vertical rack power strip (like one of these). You can probably notch the shelves to incorporate it well, without adding any required space behind them. This alone will go a long way towards cleaning things up.
Video
This is probably the other biggest mess is the video cabling. Here, there's a few options.
Permanent, upgradeable, but harder to keep neat and probably a bit of a PitA to run cables
Use some cable passthrough wallplates like these. You'd install one close to your shelving and one close to your TV, then fish cables through. Given the distance, there's probably at least one stud in the way that would make it a bit of a pain.
**Permanent, cleaner look, probably easier to run and more expensive **
Use HDMI/coax/RCA jack plates and pull cable through attic or basement. May need active cables to avoid issues (differential pair signaling used by HDMI can get finicky).
Semi-permanent
Purchase or make cable raceways. There are some commercial products that replace baseboard or crown moulding. This is probably the easiest route for clean appearance. You can use the risers in the shelf as anchor points to run up or down to your raceway, if you are ok with visibility there. Otherwise, notch the shelves, like the above suggestion for power, and run raceway/square conduit up or down, with ports for each shelf tier.
Less permanent, more expensive
Get an A/V receiver/mux box that you can use as a central connection appliance for the shelves. This way, everything connects to it and you have the minimum number of cables going from it to your TV. I honestly don't know how much these things currently cost but they used to be pricey on account of being marketed to the "audiophile" segment.
Networking
Try to concentrate as many of your network-capable systems on adjacent shelves as possible. Install a keystone jackplate and either run Cat6 for each device or use a small edge switch and as short of patch cables as you can manage.
Because those Left of center tend to stay home and roll over for fascists at the ballot box, despite it being a betrayal to all vulnerable people. The Right has their religious leaders and other authority figures making sure that the vote and promising to oppress vulnerable people.
Displayport is an open standard in name only. The specs require membership in VESA, something that requires a hefty sum of money. Even open-source projects have to restrict code that implements Displayport because of the licensing restrictions imposed on the "open" standard.
I think that tunnel magneto-resistance (TMR) are more favored for 3rd-party sticks. They've significant advantages over Hall Effect sensors in latency, power consumption, and, apparently, resolution. Plus, they operate on more similar electrical principles to the traditional pot-based sticks, so, they require less effort to design around.
More importantly, are there any laws banning outsourcing American incarceration?
Yes. The US Constitution:
Fifth Amendment (prohibits imprisonment without due process and indictment by a grand jury)
Sixth Amendment (enumerates rights entailed in due process for any criminal facing prosecution)
Eighth Amendment ("Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.")
The Eighth is the most clearly in play, supposing the courts actually follow the US Constitution, which they've been flagrantly ignoring for several decades (ex. there is no good faith interpretation of the Fourth Amendment that allows civil asset forfeiture or compelling anyone in the US to unlock a smartphone or surrender it for cloning, nor for the Fifth and Sixth which allow removing individuals to a military base to be held without trial).
It should be "The best thing that you can do for humanity is to be kind".
Seriously. We're living in a time when fascism is in an upswing and at least one religious leader has publicly called empathy a sin. Kindness and empathy are rebellious acts.
Unfortunately not that rare of a POV to find. They just generally don't do the young account thing. Some are true believers. Others likely state actors. Don't see as many bots but the greater levels of transparency and lower active population probably makes it less worthwhile of an investment.
I'm AuADHD, myself, but do not experience synthesisia so that certainly colors my perspective. People with sensory sensitivities would definitely be more prone to experiencing challenges with synthesisia and sensory overload but anyone can potentially be impacted under the right circumstances. Particularly intense sensory stimuli can be stressful. Make it multi-sensory and the intensity level is effectively increased.
Children who are otherwise neurotypical can sometimes have a little bit of a harder time with stress and intense sensations, which can manifest as meltdowns and the like.
I've found it primarily useless to harmful in my software development, making the work debugging poorly-structured code the major place that time is spent. What sort of software and language do you use it for?
Full disclosure: I like Python a lot and have written a lot of it.
That said, if not for my recent work experiences, I would be absolutely horrified at the idea of using Python for such a project. Between the type system and being interpreted, the performance and runtime issues are pretty painful. That and the historical greater dependence on external application servers really makes Python-based services something that really sucks to administer.
However, as I noted, I have also recently seen Python performing far faster than it has any right to with highly-optimized use of multi-processing and offloading the server stuff to Go.
I think I'm going to have to take a look at Piefed source this weekend.
