  • Piggyback to share what I’ve tried:

    YouTube plugin for Kodi on rpi 4B - great when it worked, often had breaking bugs for a long time (cat and mouse development), somewhat difficult to keep up to date. Had to manually install releases from github.

    “Play on Kodi” add on, which uses ytdlp to download and send the video. Fiddly, could never get it to work seamlessly or smoothly.

    YouTube in firefox on RaspberryOS, with keyboard and mouse: firefox was too heavy for the rpi to work consistently.

    I eventually bought one of those beelink mini pcs, which has enough power to run Firefox, to watch YouTube. It doesn’t have CEC built in, which is a huge downgrade, but the YouTube experience is great, and it can easily watch videos on other Web sites too.

    Lots of people say this, but i sit and stand on it anyway.

    When i was very young, i was practicing my saxophone embouchure on my mouthpiece while i was going to the bathroom. When i flushed, i looked down at the water going down the toilet bowl, and my mouthpiece fell into the toilet and got flushed away.

    I can’t go back in time, so ever since that day I’ve taken pains to remove the risk of things falling into the toilet, especially while it’s flushing.

    One example is if i have to retrieve something from the cabinet on the wall above the toilet, i make sure the lid is closed first.

    The lid is only for blocking the toilet if you are about to risk dropping something in there accidentally. If you aren’t doing anything complicated in the bathroom or need to sit or stand on the lid for some reason, it’s just in the way.

    Otherwise, keep the lid up and the seat down for quick access in diarrhea situations.

    If you have pets ymmv.
