What about without line of sight? If I get one of these is it going to work while it’s sitting on my desk, or am I going to have to mount some antennas on the roof to actually make it usable? The maps only show like three other people in my city with one, so I’m not sure how useful this will actually be for me.
The cell signal at my office is so bad it barely loads anything, so I use work Wi-Fi. But I wireguard VPN all my traffic to my home network so I can make use of my pihole and get to my home server more easily.
LG? Mine does the same. Also my washing machine plays the same tune.
Open the Google Home app, go to " Automations", and make one for the household for when someone says “turn everything on” and any other variations you want, then just make it respond with something instead of actually doing the thing.
My wife refuses to let me pirate books for her. She wants to support the authors she reads, which is fair. But she decided she wanted to try the Harry Potter books, and asked me to pirate them for her to make sure JK Rowling didn’t get a penny out of her.
Great! I’ll use Button Mapper to remap that button to open Plex (or Jellyfin if I end up committing to switching to it).
“just don’t use the internet” is not the hot take I was expecting
You can self host on a PC or VM with as little as 1GB RAM and 1 CPU core (although you’ll want closer to 4GB RAM and 2 cores if you join really large public rooms, since it takes more resources to talk to hundreds/thousands of other instances). Fairly easy to stand up too, if you use something like this ansible script.
You’re right. It’s better to just not use a password manager and use the same password on every site you go to.
/s if that’s not obvious
I’m in the exact same boat. I have a Jellyfin server configured and ready to go whenever something happens to really piss me off. This nearly was it until I saw that my lifetime Plex pass I bought 10 years ago will make it still be free for my family.
There are password managers you can self host. Bitwarden being one of them. Secure it as much as you want and keep off-site encrypted backups if you’re worried about a single point of failure.
They’ll take your fingerprints when they book you. They’ll hold your hand down and force it onto the reader / ink pad if they have to.
Why is your Roku TV even on the Wi-Fi if you just block its internet?
It’s probably that. While on cellular my IP isn’t 192.0.0.4 (but it is in 10. space), but there’s probably some v6 somewhere in the way.
I can’t get it to have network connection while my phone is on cellular data. On wifi it’s fine.
I used mostly this, but had to customize it a bit I think to get things working right. NUT feels like a super finicky system, but in the end it does work. My biggest issue right now is that it only reports a new status update to Home Assistant every few minutes, so the actions don’t really get a chance to trigger before the server shuts down. It also shuts down with the UPS at way too high of a percentage remaining, so I need to figure out how to make it wait just a little bit longer before the power down. It wants to power off like < 2 minutes after the power goes out…
I’ve got a project to look forward to. Have my Proxmox server with a UPS, running NUT to watch the battery percentage and power down gracefully if the % gets too low. I have Home Assistant watching that so it’s supposed to notify me before that happens. It’s not notifying me though, so I gotta look into that. I know it’s not working this morning because the power went out, so now I’m just sitting here theorizing instead of actually looking at it. 🙃
It’s not the 4th amendment to the Florida constitution. It’s in slot #4 on the ballot.
When I switched to Firefox a while back, I also switched to using the Tree Style Tabs extension. It gives you vertical tabs which can be nested like a folder structure. I found it’s way more convenient to know which tab was spawned from a parent tab, and keep similar tabs all in one little grouping. In my opinion, it’s even better than Chrome’s tab grouping. I lose a tiny amount of screen real estate along the left side of the browser, but it really didn’t take long at all to get used to, and now I vastly prefer it.
Same. I actually had the prompt recently when I had rebooted into my Windows disk to play a game that doesn’t when on Linux (damn kernel level anti cheat), and declined the survey because I didn’t want to help the Windows numbers. Only ever gonna take it on the Linux side of my PC from now on.
