MagicMirror #2 Rebuild

MagicMirror #2 after a rebuild

I built three MagicMirror variations about 5 years ago and they have been running non stop without issue until last week.  #2 stopped getting data and when I manually ran updates the whole thing ‘shit the bed’ as we say.  I had a backup file and that did not work either so I figured I would just start over from scratch.  I had an extra Gen4 Raspberry Pi laying around just like the one running this web site.  I put in the newest OS, the newest MM software, rewrote some scripts and after a day of tweeking the config file, it is running again.  All text is in white but the monitor is behind stained glass to give it the color.
