  • Looking for MiTV box replacement

  • I am reasonably pleased with my TV UI approximation. It’s an old Skylake-era CPU running Windows 10 Enterprise IoT LTSC which lasts until 2032.

    I chose windows because Linux is often limited to 720p browser streaming. And I got tired of overcoming hurdles to make the thing work well, forget what they were but damn they sucked and took a lot of time. Burned through a ton of my self-allotted time fixing stuff till I just ripcorded Win 10 Ent IoT LTSC; Linux might go better for you!

    Anyway, it’s at 150% desktop scale and I have the task bar auto hide. I have icons for all streaming sites, Freetube, and Jellyfin on the desktop arranged in a grid. It looks reasonably good, they open in Firefox or in their apps. I close the whole window when I’m done (I don’t use the browser’s tabs), which helps with the “TV box” feel of usage.

    I have a remote that has some IR functions to turn the TV on and off and change inputs along with gyro mouse control. It’s hella China, just buy one on your relevant China source (Amazon, alibaba, etc.) - there are tons of clones. The light up feature on it makes an audible hum, so that sucks, but I don’t use it and don’t seem to miss it.

    Best bonus is it blocks ads on all the streaming services I have (uBlock origin mostly, also AdGuard but I think uBlock Origin does the heavy lifting). And can turn on WireGuard for modern account sharing, going to automate it soon for certain streaming services.

  • Running a OPNsense firewall in a VM?

    Jump

  • I followed some guide to put Opnsense on Proxmox. I pass through 2 NICs and set the KVM (using the Proxmox make-a-VM GUI) to be the CPU arch it runs on for that extra speed (but that setting precludes easy transfer to a new box with a different arch). Plenty fast and I run another Linux VM on the same box that does stuff I’d want Opnsense to do (DNS, VPN, etc.).

    If I did it again I’d prob do LXD (Incus now), Proxmox has a long startup time and is fiddly to use (to me at least). Looks like Incus can do the same KVM thing, just with less steps and stock Debian.

  • GPU encoding uses (relatively) simpler fixed function encoders that do it much faster than the CPU which uses its general purpose transistors to run an encoding algorithm. End result is GPU encoding is speedy at the cost of visual quality per bitrate; the file size is bigger for same visual quality as a CPU encode. Importantly for storing your videos - CPU encoding, while much slower, will get your file size smaller at the same visual quality threshold you desire, so you can save more videos per drive!
