Sounds like Homebox would fit your purposes.

Thanks, digital signage is a helpful term. I’ll explore that!

The desire to have it internet connected comes from my wanting to leave notes on the screen. Currently, the major cause of anxiety/stress for the family remember is not remembering when we had last interacted. Leaving a kind of “journal” of our most recent interaction by phone/in person/etc may be helpful for reducing that anxiety.

Thanks, I did look in to it and had the same thoughts you raised.

Similar to atzanteol’s reply, I appreciate the thoughtfulness you put in to this. Our use case is luckily not so severe as needing reminders for important tasks (medication, eating, etc)… yet. A dumb clock would almost meet our needs, save for the desire to leave notes about our interactions (remembering when we last talked/saw each other is the major stressor).

I appreciate the thoughtfulness. I’m not dead set on self hosting - I figured that the relatively simple functionality might already exist in some tools. The client side of the solution would involve no interaction which is why I considered the self hosting route. If the server goes down, as long is it continues to display the time/date/last know notes/messages without any intervention then it would meet our needs. A dashboard tool that runs some elements independently and queries a server for updates on occasion.

I did find MagicMirror, which looks like it could be set up with an SBC connected to a monitor. I haven’t yet had time to dig in to its workings to see if would meet the offline/online requirements.

I also found calendarclock.app which, while not self hosted, is purpose built for this scenario and would allow the recycling of existing hardware.

That’s an interesting thought. Thank you, I’ll toy around with that.

Legally? 🤔

Or do you mean to say that a VPN isn’t strictly required?

I believe this is old information and any restrictions around serving none HTML content has been removed from their terms of service related to cloud flare tunnels.

That could just be a use of the system. Instead of sending test messages through the test channel, maybe Ontario uses the Amber Alert channel for everything including tests?

I don’t know if it’s unique to grapheneos but I have over alerts.

This was an obvious outcome when they were going to IPO. When it was announced they were going public, I exported all of my data and had all of my records with them destroyed.

Then I made a little bit of money on their stock and got out of that too.

What movie? Is it worth checking out?

I’ve just been lurking and enjoying the pretty themes, but I find myself finally needing to ask: why is it called rice?

I think that is OP’s implication with ranked choice voting. With FPTP voting federal NDP can be the equivalent of tossing away your vote, where as with ranked ballot they would stand a chance.

Microsoft office wallpapers? No kidding.

At issue in the case was whether Guilbeault’s X account should be considered a personal social media account or an official government one.

In an affidavit filed with the court, Treasury Board Secretariat official Tracey Headley said Service Canada confirmed that the account in question was not an official government of Canada social media account.

Levant argued in the initial notice of application to the court that the Guilbeault account had all the trappings of an official, state-run account, adding the content was public in nature.

Not a great one this time. Loses too much

It makes me sad, because I love gas stoves. For a long time I have been looking forward to getting a massive range that belches out BTUs like nobody’s business. Alas, it looks like that investment will go towards an induction cook top. Not a sexy, but having a little kid at home makes you reevaluate priorities.
