That’s a good theory. This may be able to be investigated further with systemd-analyze plot > boot.svg

Old enough, as in “my infant is old enough to eat solid foods.”

I thought you were going to talk about the lack of terminal scrollback.

Edit: I was misremembering. There is scrollback, but you can’t search it. https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/189

If your TV OS is old enough there is an API you can use. https://github.com/ow/samsung-frame-art

You’re right to be skeptical, but on the other hand, Geohot has done some incredibly impressive things in the past. Like that time he livestreamed buying a new model of Corolla and updating the software on for the comma.ai self-driving hardware to work for it and immediately took it onto the highway.

Isn’t this the idea behind tinygrad?

This was my first thought. I’m actually using this right now to set up WireGuard at my house so I can tunnel there from a remote location on several devices that don’t have ssh accounts on the target.

Next in line is ssh -D 9999 remotehost which opens a socks5 proxy on localhost:9999 that tunnels all connections through the remote host. This is especially rad with proxy.pac https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Guides/Proxy_servers_and_tunneling/Proxy_Auto-Configuration_PAC_file

And next in line is ssh -L 9999:target_host:80 (or whatever) which tunnels 127.0.0.1:9999 to target_host:80.

Personally I agree. I don’t use the SFF. OP asked for something compact though.

Lil Nas X totally sounds like it would be a valid answer here.

Get an old optiplex SFF off Craigslist for $200 and be done with it. Those things last so long, and since it’s commodity hardware you can replace individual components that break for not much money.

Having worked on products that are renamed to something equally ambiguous, I’d say they are trying to make it more difficult to find because they are trying to redirect customer attention to other places, and are deliberately making it difficult to talk about or search for. Unfortunately this is a very successful strategy. It’s also very user hostile, and product engineer hostile. My heart goes out to any engineers that work in this product.

I had a boring manufacturing job with long gaps between batches of work, so I read every help file in Windows NT4.1. While reading them, I found a way around our IT limitations on which apps we could run, and learned how to write scripts. So I wrote a password protected launcher tool using a macro feature in a terminal emulator I had access to on my workstation, and then started reading the man pages in Unix sys-V.

set -x configures the running process, your shell. This is a posix standard flag. See https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html

there has to be a hook somewhere for every command that executes

Why do think this? I’m not aware of any shells that have such a feature. I’m not saying it couldn’t be done, but it would be a new feature.

I like the other suggestion of having a wrapper script that does what you need.

I’m not aware of a way for it to notify if the internet is down. An expired certificate would not create that failure scenario though.

Also the notification would have gone out well before the certificate expired.

It has a built in alerting mechanism that integrates with demo communication services. Also

Uptime Kuma is integrated Apprise which supports up to 78+ notification services.

uptime-kuma will monitor your https availability and automatically check your cert expiration.
