Not a bad view of Okanagan Lake.

Physical, financial, economical, reputational…

It’s going to be a long LONG time before America has any resemblance of recovery.

12hr, just to setup scaffolding, to remove what was put up in a couple hours via cherrypicker…

Well, that last one he’s already not doing himself I’d bet.

Takes a lot of energy to reach your own toes, he fall asleep halfway there.

I try to be in the habit of making a full image onto a demonstrably working spare card every couple weeks.

That’s a whole lot of writing to an sd card, wearing it out. It may fail by the time you want to read it. You also destroy each previous backup by creating a new one.

Each of my rpis backup to my main server nightly using dd via ssh. The server then keeps historical backups of those .img files via Borg so I can pull any version from any day of the last year or so.

“These riots are clearly not ‘peaceful protests’ as you can see from the photos of these horrific wounds,”

When you use force to deny peoples rights, they fight back and you end up with wounds. Back the fuck off and you don’t get injured officers.

I’m 30 today. I’m supposed to be all wise and responsible now…

That’s how that works right? Now I know things?

Who gives out the knowledge sheet…? I don’t think mine showed up.

JFC. 🤦

My dumb ass forgot ponys exist. I’m sitting here staring at this thing wondering why that dog looks so much like a horse…

I’m baffled at my own stupidity and had to share.

Now for someone to unknowingly press it and torpedo this persons career while burying them in lawsuits…

I use Emby instead of Plex or Jellyfin; mostly because it has an Xbox client, and I’ve already got a lifetime licence. One of my most active users only watches via Xbox.

Really don’t like Plexs centralised user system or the overall direction they’ve been headed for years, so I moved away from that long ago (8+ years ago at least). Jellyfin wasn’t up to par at the time (though they’ve made leaps and bounds of progress in that time), and Emby has always supported more types of devices\clients. Their device limit (the client count limit with premeir) has never come into play for me, but I know there are larger user bases out there where that is a problem.

Embys development is extremely slow though, taking YEARS to implement simple features or even address major concerns. Plus their support sucks without the community stepping in and providing it on behalf of the staff. Luke (the main dev) is better at copy+pasting candid responses than he is at actually interacting with human beings.

That icon didn’t show up until I installed another voice app. FUTO voice is what I’m using now alongside Heliboard. Seems to work nicely so far.

Emby has a decent xbox app for media streaming. TBH I’ve just been using an HTPC lately though.

Thanks! That seems to integrate into Heliboard nicely, activating with the voice button that’s now on the toolbar where I expected it.

I wasn’t expecting this to be two separate components/apps, but I guess that makes sense.

This seems to be kind of the consensus. I’m not interested in moving from one theiving shitstain of a company to another. So gboard is a no-go.

I can’t get voice input to work on Heliboard though. The option is there in toolbar settings, but the button doesn’t show up on the toolbar and there’s no microphone permissions…

Do you have to do something to make voice input exist?

It’s listed as an option in the toolbar settings but the button doesn’t appear on the toolbar. Even with everything else disabled and just the voice input button enabled: the toolbar is totally empty…

There’s also no microphone permissions…

The blood of the foes who have fallen before you.

Pihole is a self-hosted DNS server that filters out domains that serve ads, as well as malware and tracking domains. When clients try to access a blocked domain, the DNS request fails, so the client doesn’t know where to connect and the ads/malware simply fail to load, while the rest of the game/webpage loads just fine.

Highly customizable, either manually or with various online lists of known domains. It’s also a handy tool to create local-only domain names for accessing your own self-hosted services.

Alternatively there’s Adguard or Nextdns; public dns servers that perform a similar function, but give you much less control over what is or isn’t blocked.

For the record: pihole blocks those ads, along with most mobile app ads. (in games too)

They were a terrorist organization, now they’re a ‘major’ terrorist organization.

C’mon pay attention now, it’s not like he changes his mind 17 times a day or something… _(/s)
