If you’re up for using Jellyfin and have satellite devices, you can check out something I’m working on to achieve this: https://github.com/MattMckenzy/Homehook
The main branch was compatible with chromecast devices, but I’ve stopped maintaining it in favor of the v2 branch, where HomeHook communicates directly with satellite devices through HomeCast.
Let me know if you have any questions about it, always glad to help!
You could try out something I whipped up for this and see if it works for you: https://github.com/MattMckenzy/ToothPick
I hadn’t even realized VSCodium has it’s own extension marketplace, I hadn’t used it myself. Thanks for prompting me on this, I went ahead and published it there too! https://open-vsx.org/extension/ctfam/btrfs-file-history
Hopefully my namespace gets verified soon and the warning will go away.
I haven’t really distributed any binaries yet, everything I work on is just FOSS at https://github.com/MattMckenzy.
However, I did look into packaging my HomeCast project in my own debian apt repository. It’s still unsigned at the moment, but when I get to it I imagine I’ll just use dpkg and gnupg2 however I need to.
I’m a professional and hobbyist C# .NET dev and I recently made the switch to a full Linux environment at home. I’ve gotten a great workflow setup with just VSCode and some extensions. I’ve actually found some ways to improve my workflow with VSCode vs Visual Studio and I’m glad I made the switch. The only thing I really miss is the phenomenal diagnostics and profiling I would get with a full Visual Studio install, but I’m getting used to using cli dotnet tools to replace that as well.
If you’re going the VSCode route, feel free to ask me more questions on useful extensions or workflow tweaks!
For a second I thought I had made the perfect solution for this, but then I realized my problem was the opposite. I was looking for a way to receive notifications from systems that can only send emails. So I quickly made the Mail2Gotify service and have been using it for the past while.
I’ll post it here anyway in case you want to switch from emails to Gotify in the future!
I feel like I can’t be the only immature one here…
My NAS is called AY-NAS.
I’ve got a bunch of Rpis named things like DANK-SBC, WONK-SBC and RAW-SBC.
Figuring out and emulating how the steam deck handles it is a great idea, I’ll do some research.
Thanks for the info!
I was looking at Cage yesterday, but it seems like it wouldn’t support a transparent always on top application, in a way to give control to any application underneath. Maybe I could experiment with it and see what I can do…
I’m not sure I could make a transparent overlay on top of MPV with just a Firefox kiosk.
Also, I’m curious why I should avoid Electron? Do you have another framework to suggest that would let me do this?
I’m not against learning new things if they’re more adequate for my project!

The main branch used to be compatible with chromecast devices, but I’ve stopped maintaining it in favor of the v2 branch, where HomeHook communicates directly with satellite devices through HomeCast. Working with Chromecasts were a huge pain.
