Warnings

What you do with this information is your own responsibility. If you brick your TV trying this, it's not my fault. You should probably have some electronics experience if you want to attempt this.

This is going to involve opening your TV and attaching wires to the pins of an integrated circuit. If you're not comfortable with that, this is not for you.

This document is a work in progress.

debugstatus

LG TVs since at least the era of NetCast and "Global Platform" (webOS predecessors) have had the notion of a debug level, generally called "debugstatus". There are three modes: DEBUG, EVENT, and RELEASE. TVs normally operate in RELEASE mode. DEBUG mode enables a variety of logging and other debugging features in webOS, including access to the bootloader console and debug menus via serial. EVENT is similar to DEBUG, although it may not enable as much logging and has other relatively minor differences.

	## USAGE
	# $ nix-build kexec-installer.nix
	# can be deployed remote like this
	# $ rsync -aL -e ssh result/ root@host:
	# $ ssh root@host ./kexec-installer
	## Customize it like this
	# # custom-installer.nix
	# import ./kexec-installer.nix {
	# extraConfig = {pkgs, ... } {
	# user.extraUsers.root.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = [ "<your-key>" ];

	Register a mDNS/DNS-SD alias name for your computer using the Avahi daemon

	This script will register an alternate CNAME alias besides your hostname,
	which could be useful for ex. when serving several http virtual hosts to
	your ffriends on the local network and you don't want to make them configure
	their /etc/hosts.

	Why a CNAME? You could also publish your current address with avahi-publish-address
