Funny.... that sure brings back memories...
We had a music server at one of my jobs before, it was an old Raspberry 2. We, R&D, installed it right under IT's nose with a VPN, a router and some configuration in our lab. We could sit at our desks and play music and IT had no clue about the huge music library we had downstairs.
Right now I got a Raspberry 4 plugged into a 4 input KVM... it's right in front of me. I run an xserver in my PC, then I use PuTTy to connect to it and then fire up xwindows. It's awesome. I've been doing Linux work like that since like the mid 90s.
Sure, I could always just press the switch, input #4, and be directly connected... but that would be too easy, huh?
Thanks....
BTW. homeAssistant runs on a Raspberry. I was gonna download the image but then, for 120 bucks, I got the Green version which is fully configured hardware and accepts the antenna for more devices... so, it was a case of buying my way out of the work.
