Recommended mini linux device for streaming to TV

Looking for a simple mini device that I can plug into TV for streaming stuff via browser/jellyfin and similar, with hdmi and control via bluetooth keyboard/mouse. What do you guys recommend?

Would this be powerful enough for example? https://www.komplett.no/product/1323029/pc-tilbehoer/stasjonaer-pc/acer-revo-box-mini-pc

EDIT: lemmy is awesome, thanks to you I'll save myself a ton of work and/or costly mistakes

Keet and the potential of P2P technology

I recently stumbled upon Keet, which is a peer to peer messaging app with video calls and file sharing.

This app has a lot going for it:

  • The user experience is really good
  • Free and open source EDIT: the UI of Keet in closed atm, but the underlying P2P building blocks are open
  • Privacy friendly (no datacentre, server or middleman between you and the people you are talking to)
  • Better quality since there's no throttling of traffic
  • No file size limit

I'm baffled that this app seems like a well kept secret, so I just wanted to share it with you guys.

To me, peer to peer technology seems really interesting because it addresses the root cause of many of the harms that plagues the modern day internet: surveillance, platform silos, the market dominance of multi-national tech-conglomerates, energy usage of datacentres, etc.

What do you think? Can P2P be the solution to these problems?

Question: how to make people care and take action regarding privacy?

I know this has been discussed a lot across the fediverse already, but I recently learned about the Fogg Behaviour Model (FBM), and thought it would be interesting use it as a frame.

Basically, the model says that people change behaviour when they are motivated, have the ability, and are given the right prompt or nudge in the right direction.

How do we nudge people who are...

  • In the top left, i.e. are motivated, but lack the ability to use privacy-friendly alternatives?
  • Are in the bottom right, i.e. have the ability, but don't care or have the motivation?

Unfortunately, my impression is that most people are in the bottom left, and think of the invasive surveillance of Big Tech like the weather; "I just have to deal with it". How do we give these people the ability and motivation to escape the data vampires?
