Ditching Amazon Fire TV for a custom, self-hosted Smart TV experience on 2011 Mac Mini's.
For years, I used Amazon Fire TV sticks. They worked, but the ads, tracking, and clutter became annoying. I wanted a clean, personalized media center that felt like a dedicated appliance.
I found a few 2011 Mac Mini's on eBay and turned them into media centers running Debian Linux with a stripped-down Xfce desktop environment.
The Build:
Hardware: Intel i5 Mac Mini's.
OS: Debian Linux + Xfce (lightweight, flexible).
UI: A custom Python/Flask web app serving a kiosk-mode interface via Brave Browser.
Config: Entirely managed via JSON and CSS. No desktop, no panels. Just a curated home screen of Flatpak apps and web apps.Features:
Privacy: No ads, no tracking, no Amazon account required.
Single-Task Machine: Apps launch fullscreen, right-clicking is disabled, kiosk mode.
Remote Ready: Fully keyboard and remote navigable (MX3 Pro wireless PC remote).
Robust: Auto-restart script ensures the dashboard never stays closed.Use Cases:
Media center PC: A TV-connected mini PC with Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi, and YouTube.
Workplace dashboard: A wall-mounted display showing internal tools, dashboards, or informational kiosks.
Infotainment kiosk: A public-facing screen with curated apps and no way for users to escape to the desktop.
Repurposed hardware: Give an old laptop or mini PC a second life as a dedicated appliance.If you can think of a use case, you just set the apps and tools you want, point it at the URLs or Flatpak apps you need, and let it run.
I wrote a blog post on the setup and the specific tools (like wmctrl and input-remapper) I used to make it feel like a Smart TV. Github link is in the blog post.

Old #Intel #celeron J3455 in several #synology x18 models, is still a capable #Plex server in 2026! Ok, smoking a bit while detecting intros for 178 new episodes, but that's ok 🤘🏻!

@danielramfer Sí, quise probarlo hace un tiempo para ver qué ta la iba ya que tenía #Plex también. Me gustan ambos pero creo que las apps de #Infuse para #iOS #iPadOS y #macOS son mejores. ¿Ventajas? Pocas, quizás que si me encuentro con un equipo fuera del ecosistema de #Apple podría tirar de #Plex para ver mi contenido, o poder meter la instancia de #Plex de otra persona, pero más allá de eso yo no he encontrado ninguna

The group chat when Netflix pulls the show again
Season 3, gone mid-binge — the group chat has thoughts. Jellyfin's library doesn't do vanishing acts: your files, your server, movie night forever.

I guess it's time for an updated #Introduction: 🥁
Dear Fediverse! 🎶 I am a #composer of #theatre music and #filmmusic, living in the lovely woods of Asker, Norway. I've been lucky enough to make a living from this for 20 years, and constantly want to reinvent myself musically, or else I get bored real quickly. During one year, one project could be scored with a chamber orchestra, but the next one might be banjo punk.
I was a pretty decent drummer once, but too impatient to stay in one band for very long. Today, I might release the occasional solo album or EP, but most of my releases are #soundtrack albums. As a music listener I'm into everything from #Bach to #Dvorak to #Genesis to #RATM, and everything in-between. 🎹
I am #actuallyautistic and #ADHD. I have a four year old kid who I love more than the universe itself. I obsess over #StarWars and #EdvardGrieg more than what is probably considered healthy. I buy lots of CDs at flea markets and organise them all onto my wonderful #Plex server (another obsession!) 💿
Grew up with 90s PC adventure games from the likes of #LucasArts, and wish I had time to complete all those games I never got to finish, and replay all the ones I did. Thank heavens for @scummvm 👾
I detest fascist man-babies and evil tech-bros. In a continuous #degoogle process, one step at a time. Love #OSM and maps in general (seriously, another obsession?)
Coffee needed to soothe brain. ☕

Edit: Guess I don't have to release the script! Go figure, someone already developed something with an easier setup process and predefined link variables so your profile metadata doesn't get jumbled -_-. https://codeberg.org/twop0intfive/fedi-now-playing
Original Post:
Found a non-functional github project that was last updated 2 years ago which changes your mastodon profile depending on what your listenbrainz "Currently listening" is outputting...I fixed it up after some trial and error to work in a docker container with refresh.
Its been adding my listenbrainz currently listening, which is scrobbled from my local plex/jellyfin music libraries.
Pretty cool! Feels very myspace lol
Might put this out in the next week so others can use it. It's very lightweight at around 20-30mb memory.
Requirements would be: Listenbrainz Account, Music Server like Plex/Navidrome/Jellyfin, Scrobbler like Multi-Scrobbler, and knowledge of how to use docker.

I see #Plex borked their iOS player. I’m trying to watch a video. The program opened in landscape orientation with no player controls. If you double-tap on the left side of the screen it skips back 10 seconds; right side jumps forward 30. That’s all the controls I could find. The only way to pause or stop is to swipe up from the bottom to get the picture-in-picture insert where the normal controls are. What drug-addled developer thought this was a good idea? Stop enshittifying your products!

Alright. I managed to replace my old Trakt feed in Glance with a new Floppy feed.
Now I need to clean up the spaghetti code and submit a pull request with Glance to get it listed in the Community Widgets. (I also need to update my old Trakt widget to note that its functionality is now locked behind Trakt's paywall.)
The Glance dev hasn't actually approved any pull requests in a while, so not sure how long that'll take...

Welp. Looks like Trakt just locked dev API keys behind their "VIP" paywall and revoked any existing keys used by free users.
So stuff like PlexTraktSync no longer works unless you pony up $6/month or $60/year.
Time to go look for a replacement.

يقدم تحديث تطبيق Infuse 8.5 خيارات جديدة للتحكم في ترميز خوادم Plex وEmby وJellyfin عبر كافة أجهزة Apple. يتيح هذا التحديث خفض معدل بت الفيديو لتقليل التخزين المؤقت وتحسين التشغيل عبر الشبكات البطيئة، مع البقاء على التشغيل المباشر كخيار افتراضي. كما يُعيد التحديث تنظيم نتائج البحث لتقديم تجربة متناسقة عبر جميع المنصات، بالإضافة إلى تقديم تحسينات إضافية في بروتوكول WebDAV والاتصالات وإجراء تعديلات بسيطة على واجهة المستخدم.
