All in all, Hive is a good option to check out. There are communities for a variety of topics on Hive, so you should be able to find whatever it is you’re looking to discuss.Īs a forum, Hive works pretty well, and it’s a solid choice for people looking for a social media site like Reddit. Though it’s not nearly as big as Reddit, the overall UI of the website will make Redditors feel right at home, with its similar post layout and UX elements.įurther, similar to Reddit, Hive also supports upvotes and downvotes, and there are communities - essentially subreddits - that you can join and be a part of. I suppose the laptop used as a media center is where the drives with the media files are mounted and either shared for such a media player setup as I described above or directly hooked to the TV (so, no need for a Media Player, but then again you probably can't control it with a remote control).Īt some point I used to have an old Asus EEE mini notebook for sharing the drives on my home network (been doing the whole media player setup thing for over a decade), but nowadays I just hook the drives to my router and share it from there (but I do have a much better than average consumer router).Where earlier there used to be options like Ruqqus, Hive now exists as a forum like Reddit for all your discussions over various topics. You can get a Media Player device with an HDMI plug on one side and an Ethernet plug on the other (or WiFi), connect it to your TV via HDMI and to your home network via the Ethernet/Wifi and then have your media files somewhere on your network on a shared drive, so the media player can access those files over the network and you can play any of them on your TV with maximum convenience (as a media player even has a remote control).
