In fact it is not. There are lots of usecases to reuse displays and there are several companies on ebay (and alibaba and such) selling these controller boards. It is just lacking support for uncommon displays.

RE: Commercial Smart Mirror?
Hm, this is no real usecase for me. The mirror - at least for me - is a technical and modern way to replace old fashioned paper calendars / schedulers with some addons like weather forecast, traffic jams and public transport delays, without having to use the smartphone.
I don’t want to browse websites while brushing my teeth or view the latest news while taking a shower :) -

it looks like this.

If I change it to
timeFormat: 'absolute'I see the real date (e.g. November 26th) but still no time. -
RE: MMM-WorldTides, no output on screen
@pjkoeleman
Hi, I haven’t played around with the module for a long time and I don’t have a magic mirror in use currently.
I will try to take a look into this tomorrow, but I cannot promise. -

RE: MMM-WorldTides, no output on screen
I received a pull request on github which replaced the apiBase. I did not know the standard
XMLHttpRequest()can handle https as well. You should be able togit pullon your device to update the version.
Sure, play around with it and present it. WorldTides was my first module, there is a lot of space for improvement. -
RE: Medicine Cabinet For Magic Mirror Frame
In fact there are several mirror projects using medicine cabinets and similar things.
I won’t go this route for several reasons.- If you go for the cabinet and still want to use it you have to live with the cabling and the technical components being visible while the cabinet is open.
- Cabinets are available in several sizes, but you have to adjust your mirror to the cabinet. If you build the mirror yourself you are free defining sizes.
- Users like me want to go for slim cases instead of “thick” cases standing away from the wall.
- As you already assumed several users like to build things. It’s not just having/using the mirror, it’s about building everything on your own.
Of course it is absolutely legit buying a complete case/housing and start from there.

Uninstall PiHole. If you search this forum for PiHole you will find two other threads with similar memory issues, both related to PiHole. After removing it the issue was gone.

RE: MMM-MovieInfo
@SilentJbob1680
For some reason they changed the variable containing the path to the image fromposterPathtoposter_pathYou could change this
const poster = document.createElement('img'); poster.classList.add('poster'); poster.src = `https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w185_and_h278_bestv2/${movie.posterPath}`; wrapper.appendChild(poster);to this
const poster = document.createElement('img'); poster.classList.add('poster'); poster.src = `https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w185_and_h278_bestv2/${movie.poster_path}`; wrapper.appendChild(poster);for an immediate fix, or you could wait for strawberry to fix it on github and provide a new version. If you fix it on your own you will need to revert the changes before you can update once strawberry provided the update.

RE: Lock folders?
One problem I see there is this:
If you lock down folder access rights, your scripts might fail too and it will be a hassle to get this right. I second “FlatPepsi” … make a backup and let them play -

Did you run the installation with sudo? It’s trying to install in /root/MagicMirror and that’s wrong

RE: Need help with internet monitor-module
Both schlachtkreuzer6 and doubleT are totally right. I tried to change the post with your config, but akismet.com flags this as spam.
Besides wrong quotes the position of your added module was incorrect.
