If youre just looking for watched info, you could use jellyfin as your kodi backend (which is supported put of the both with Kodi), then something like Jellystat for in-depth viewing info.

Looking at the trees brings most of the relief so I expect even those are calming as long as you don’t touch them and don’t know what they are.

Sounds like they are almost ready to go for most US requirements then. Some voltage tweeks and a plug change and we got something cooking.

The lift here is that you setup the end users client. If they aren’t local, buy one and ship it. Since it will be on your always on tailscale vpn, you can then interact with it remotely if needed.
Android tvs can be had for $35, Raspi 5 are around the same range,with apple tvs about $130. Have people pony up the cash and mail one of what they want out to them.
That may be too much to ask if you share to a lot of casual friends/family, but its been a successful answer for me.

US utilities often have anti islanding rules, so power is not allowed to be fed back into the utility without specific equipment designed to stop power flowing back when the grid is down.

Jellyfin takes more work, but cqn be a “simple” end user experience if you set it up for them.
Use a reverse proxy to get a cert for your jellyfin server SWAG, Caddy, lots of options. Then setup a free tailscale account and add your jellyfin server to your tailnet. Install the jellyfin and tailscale apps on the user android tv/apple tv/computer, enrolling the devices in your tailnet.
You’ll have always on, ssl secured, vpn protected media sharing for free.

Im all fucked up about the lemmy communities turns out I misread the subreddit list in a powertripping mods thread as a lemmy community list. Ill edit the above comments.
- Comment on Suggestions for people on Fosstodon considering moving 2 weeks ago:
I think you misrrad my post. Im not defending fosstodon, I was asking for more clarity about the issues.
Reading up on him in the linked posts, he looks like a big piece of shit that shouldn’t be moderating a large mastodon instance. It’s clear he abuses his power there and on the 50 communities here on lemmy he mods to silence discussion that doesn’t align with his views.
You opting to “not look into them” is the same stance as the Fosstodon admin, and honestly, not a good choice.
- Comment on Suggestions for people on Fosstodon considering moving 2 weeks ago:
The link is long but also very vague. Basically no call outs for a callout post.
Which fosstodon mod engaged in what racist/anti-lqbt behavior? What did the admins reply with when notified and where?

They had around 100% market share just a few years back.
Losing half the market in 3-4 years is a huge change for any company, even if some of it was inevitable as rivals caught up and suprassed their offerings.

- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 3 weeks ago:
The article makes it very clear its running continuously, which is what they are celebrating. They have successfully changed out its full while operating, which is a huge part of the “continuous.”
- Comment on ‘No quick wins’: China has the world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor 3 weeks ago:
“No quick wins” is some weird editorializing OP. That phrase is nowhere on the article.
The closest thing to it is that China managed this breakthrough due to “strategic stamina,” i.e it took time to make this work.
Overall, this is a huge accomplishment, especially if China is willing to share the design. Even if they aren’t, this should dramatically ramp down China’s fossil fuel usage over the next couple of decades, so its still a win for the test of us.

- Comment on Solar Panel Questions 4 weeks ago:
Glad to help. I’ve been investigating my own solar install, so have been digging into the specifics a lot.
Note that the above are the “best case” numbers. Panels can put out less power for lots of reasons. They tend to lose a little bit of efficiency when they get older. Think 1%/year, but that’s just a rule of thumb. Being dirty can affect them, cloud cover, angle and position, and hilariously counterintuitively, if they get too much sun. Solar panels get less efficient the hotter they are, so an especially sunny day will lower the power output.
Leads to some complex math to optimize, but honestly its power that just hits your house for free. That’s a fine thing in any circumstance.
- Comment on Solar Panel Questions 4 weeks ago:
Looks like the model name is the wattage. Your panels are wach making 275w. With 14 of them, the max power they will generate is 3850w, or 3.8Kw.
That means if you have one gour of full sunlight hit your panels, it will generate 3.8kw of power. If you go to this site it will estimate how many sunlight hours your roof will get per year. Multiple the sunliht hours by 3.8Kw to find your total possible power generation per year.
To find out how much you’ll save, you need to know how much a Kwh costs from your local power company, likely between $0.10-$0.30/kwh.
So just with made up totals, if you get 1000hrs of sunlight/yr, you will generate 3,895kwh. At $0.10/kwh, you’ll save $389.5/yr.

- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 — Nvidia says it has 10x the graphics power of original Switch 5 weeks ago:
The “10x” is via AI created fake frames too. Its a common Nvidia marketing trope, so not suprising.
Its a 7 year old console at this point, so gpu power is way up, but Nintendo always goes cheap with their hardware. I would guess actual GPU improvements are more like 3x-5x, which puts it in line with maybe the last gen of other consoles.
