Sounds like they had their scaler set up to squash everything. Not the best for content, but the best for accepting whatever people will throw at it. Can’t say I’m a fan of not giving you all the pixels you paid for, though!

I miss AV sometimes.

Nice. It looks like your led has a little hat!

Did you manage to get Linux to output the native resolution of the screen?

Is Docker considered virtualisation?

Thanks. As bare metal is quite a bit more expensive, what would I lose by going to a VPS? I’m assuming Proxmox and Windows, assuming I wanted to go with a Linux VPS. Would there be issues with running Docker containers with the VPS?

Better take a year off, mate.

Huh, that’s interesting. I would have thought that a TV running Linux would be called ‘smart’.

I’m with you though, it’s better to be more ‘modular’ and have your playback device- be it PlayStation, media server, heck even television receiver, seperate from the display itself.

I feel like the level of snark in your reply is… High. It doesn’t make for a pleasant interaction, and it doesn’t help make lemmy a nice place to be.

So, if the image you want to put into your email is not hosted somewhere, what’s the best way to go about this, ensuring compatibility?

Is it possible to put images in an email without them showing up like this?

The dude raises some valid points.

One way to avoid looking like a fool is to look beyond just the headline- This video starts out by saying they have more Linux installs than windows, across various VMs on SBCs.

I put off Factorio for years, because I knew I’d like it a lot. Had some free time in my life recently, so I went for it.

Send help.

Eurovision has very little to do with being in Europe. Even Australia is in Eurovision, and they are definitely not in Europe.

Some of that is similar in more rural areas here. Property addresses will often be the number of meters their driveway is from the start of the road.

Genuine question - why would the house numbers be different?

In urban areas, I’m used to house numbers starting at 1 at one end of the street, then incrementing as you go along. Usually odds and evens are on the opposite sides of the street. So the house on the corner will be 1, the house opposite it will be 2, the house next to 1 will be 3, and so on.

Each street starts the numbers again.

Is this not the case where you are?

I’m just happy to be doing my part to make copilot worse.

Wanna talk about poisoning LLMs? Just assume the coffee in my repo is in any way good.

Heh, the first Lemmy post I saw after checking your message: https://lemmy.today/post/4080156

I may have been a little unclear- but you got the idea about the setup. It’s actually both- the displays area their own hardware with their own IP, which I access for scheduling power and what not - but the image comes from the Windows machine.

Thanks again- I really like your idea about the main machine not having a gateway set. I’ll propose that to them- Although if that requires another machine on that network, local to the signage, it starts to look like a PiKVM might be a simpler option.

I’ve got the R3, love it.

I’ll absolutely be asking the IT department- I was just hoping to come to them with a potential solution, rather than a problem.

Keeping it off the internet is just a security measure- as well as avoiding windows updates. It looks pretty crummy having a Microsoft dialog box splashed all over your lovely signage.

I’m thinking your second option would be ideal. I just thought there might be a way to tunnel through the VPN over the internet, without actually letting the machine see the internet. Thanks very much for your help!
