  • Haha nice, I’m glad I threw that in at the bottom lol.

    If you do end up needing to do something physical, and can’t find a prefabricated item, look at getting 2 female HDMI breakout boards/connectors.

    I believe there’s 19 wires in total, but only two deal with power (+/-) and 1 that deals with clock signal (tmds?). Could probably move those over to 3 pin on/off toggle switch, directly wire the rest, and then flip the switch as needed.

    Or even just the TMDS wire 1 pin toggle switch, might even do the trick.

    Those pinouts might be different based on the HDMI version you’re using, and I cannot stress this enough, I pulled that idea mostly out of my ass. I have some experience with this type of DIY, but none of it was with HDMI signals.

    It is not intended as a final blueprint, just a starting point you figuring out a DIY toggle.



  • News, tech, left-wing politics, memes, anime, and porn are Lemmy’s biggest community types.

    I know a lot of different subtopics fit under each, and I’m sure I left a few top level subjects out, but my point is that there are a lot of mid-sized, and especially smaller (by Reddit standards), subreddits that Lemmy is no where near being remotely useful as a replacement for yet.

    I have community subreddit collections that I don’t see Lemmy replacing anytime soon. I mean, I hope they do. I still check every so often, and yes, communities for them exist and they have maybe a few dozen users, but not enough to even try to just suck it up and deal.
