i'd been looking for a 65" panel to play my media on and i decided to go with a smart tv, using it as an hdmi display connected to my #openbsd machine.

my tv had been connected to a stereo amplifier anyway, so my setup is actually even better now: a dedicated usb dac connected directly to the amplifier.

the #openbsd based setup is very user-friendly if i'm the user, but not so much if someone unfamiliar with the terminal wants to use it...
also, lots of cables :)
at least the dac box can draw power from my server over the same usb cable.
very excited to switch to fully local streaming ❤️
