2026 winter Olympics vs MythTV pibox
get ready to rumble
I’m going to stress test the pi4-based MythTV DVR with a healthy dose of Olympic coverage. I’ve never maxed out the 1TB SSD it uses for media storage so I’ve never seen Myth’s auto expire in action. I have shows on there that are a couple years old and will get deleted if the drive is filled.
events I want to watch
- curling - I like any event where the symbol is a dude with a broom.
- biathlon - or whatever the ski-and-shoot event is called nowadays. My hands are always shaky and I cannot imagine shooting accurately after serious cardio.
- ski downhill
- ski long jump
- luge, skeleton - these people are crazy
- ski mountaineering - to see what they are doing. I’d watch non-ski mountaineering, too.
events I might watch
- figure skating - not into it but the athleticism is real
- speed skating
events I won’t watch
I don’t like the “look at me!” events, so basically anything with freestyle in the name
