Modder, programmer, and all around tinkerer. Yes, I’m that New Vegas and Deus Ex guy.

You can also find me over at kbin.run under the same username. Also kbin.social if it ever comes back from the dead.

  • I don’t think there is one for Samsung TVs unfortunately. I only did it for my Android TV. All I did was install SmartTubeNext and that’s it.

    Generally I find my Samsung TV pretty insufficient on its own. I keep a Chromecast plugged into it, but a lot of people recommend Android/Google TV boxes since you can use them for casting and installing sideloaded ad-free apps, or even replace the launcher entirely. Walmart’s $20 Onn brand Google TV box gets recommended a lot.






  • Kbin is a combined implementation of Lemmy and Mastodon that works with both. You can view and post to Lemmy instances via Kbin and vice versa. That said, much like Lemmy it’s still being developed, so there are still bugs and inconsistencies that sometimes cause Kbin and Lemmy/Mastodon to not quite communicate with each other properly.

    The one thing I’ve noticed is that Kbin’s federation with blahaj specifically is a bit lagged. Posts only show up after a pretty significant delay, usually about an hour. Also I’ve yet to be able to successfully make a top-level image post from Kbin to any other instance, so that’s annoying.
