What TV do you have? What are you running Kodi on?

What TV remote?

Pretty much this. Imagine some untutored user given the jellyfin client. They can figure it out pretty quickly as it is much like Netflix. Compare that to a Kofi on a Pi, first you have a keyboard/mouse. OK, then arrow keys and spacebar get you a ways in - now how do I stop the video? Panic till you find out it’s the X key.

It is the simplicity vs functionality debate. Kodi is amazingly configurable but it is not accessible for your normal household user without a ton of work. Jellyfin(as an example) just runs on the Roku they are already using.

Eventually I’m getting off my old Roku 3 permanently for Kodi, so I’m just saying I wish Kodi had a dummy mode.

The learning curve for Kodi is pretty steep. Most folks aren’t going to bother.

Oh yeah I plan to update. But only when I really get annoyed.

Er I’m still running a FX-8350 as a gaming machine (not AAA games obviously). I had another one as a host for a few VMs and it was more than enough till the motherboard went. One day I’ll upgrade I guess.

My sending got blocked from dynamic IPs, maybe things have changed though

Same here. Static IP though. I did set up another experiment with a haproxy vps just to see if I could do it if I lost my static IP, worked perfectly done that way too.

Fail2ban, pfblocker, and soamassassin work great.

idrac console? I tried open web start, no joy

I’ve always wondered why no one thought of redesigning the jack. Have it just be form-fitted outside contacts, with magnetic adhesion to hold the plug in place. There isn’t any real reason it has to be a socket.

The reason is of course the masses just use Bluetooth, or deal with the dongle, because they absolutely must have an iPhone.

I don’t know about slim but I love OpenSUSE. It is super stable, I’ve run it for about a billion years. You can use the installer to just choose the server light install.

II use Debian for some build machines.

Anyone remember The Incredible Machine game from the 90s?

Yeah I don’t see the issue here. Don’t install a bunch of random plugins, set it up as recommended, and Nextcloud is just fine and has a nice mobile app and functions.

You can use something separate like Zoneedit for the DNS records
