wanted to replace my old Roku with a little Linux box to build some TV interfaces

no wonder I can't get 4K to work on anything. I doubt any of my devices are L1, whitelisted, etc etc
guess I'm building a pirate ship first 🤷

The thing about grief is that you eventually return to ‘normal life,’ but still feel so far from your ‘normal self.’
It’s a terrible feeling. Wanting to be present and enjoy the moment, yet feeling unable to.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
