Context: Since about 2023 I have gone down the path of open source software, and I've loved every second. Currently, I'm effectively entirely open source in my household (from PCs to phones and routers) but TVs are effectively the last foothold they have in my home. I have two 2019 (foster) Shield TV Pro's on dumb TVs to run Stremio and youtube clients, but I'd love to fully be rid of Google's Android TV (and potentially youtube in the future too).

Following this I've done my research into custom ROMs for the Shield, and LineageOS seems to be the only suggestion. In spite of this, there's essentially NO media online about it other than 3 forum posts, so I wanted to pose the question to the community...

Is anyone daily-driving LineageOS on their Nvidia Shield TV in 2026? Are there any major drawbacks? Bugs? Whats the stock UI like? Customization? Does HDMI CEC still work? If I have to go back, will I fuck it all up and have a brick? Give me your takes, as the most recent discussion is 3 years old at this point!

Hi all, I'm making the switch from my crappy ISP router to an opnsense firewall, and I can't wrap my head around this problem, I'm hoping someone has an idea?

Here's my current setup, Modem+Router in the living room, a long (8m?) ethernet cable to the study where my computer is. I've purchased a mini PC and installed opnsense, which I can plug into the PC directly and connect to via web GUI.

HOWEVER, when the mini PC goes into the living room and plugs into the exact same cable I can't reach it from my PC on the other end of the cable. If I swap the plug to the router, it can reach that.

How can I help it make the connection? Is opnsense configured wrong? I'm sorry if this sounds stupid but I just can't work it out 🙏
