I’m sad every day that Google Play Music is gone.

Thank you, I know I have more homework to do on this before I make a final decision, but the more info the better.

Holy crap, I had no idea. Someone else posted that utility as well, I’m going to bookmark it for when I get another NVMe to put a linux distro on

That will be my next plan, 2 NVMe boot disks, but that may not be before next year. I’ve been using PopOS, fedora, and Mint in VMs for about a year now just messing around and getting a handle on the GUI side of things since most of my debian containers are cli only.

I’ll look into GoXLR and Streamdeck plugins again, thank you for that, I looked a while ago and it was a long way from my comfort level, but given the amount of docker/debian I’ve messed with in the last year, that may be attainable now.

I love my Yubikey but the older hardware versions can only store 25 passkeys, and I believe even the newer ones can only store 100. That seems like a lot until more sites start allowing passkey auth.

“Switch to Linux” is always the answer but a Nvidia graphics card, Stream Deck, and GoXLR are all things I use every single day, with no official linux support I’m never going to be able to use it as a daily driver. I have plenty of VMs that I run Linux on, but it’s just a non-starter for my day to day gaming rig.

MS should have done what they said and made W10 “the last version of windows” instead of doing the typical corpo bullshit and coming out with an even worse version.

I misread system wide as network wide. My mistake. FWIW, I still prefer a network wide and browser plugin (ublock and privacy badger) combo.

Flashing ESPhome devices. I just had to re-flash one via serial the other day and it requires chrome AFAIK.

porque no los dos? I use both and there are things uBlock can catch/block that AdGuard Home doesn’t seem to be able to. That said AdGuard makes mobile pages readable, when most these days are a complete nightmare of ads

they can’t be that bougie, every apartment I’ve ever been in with a sliding door has those, and usually somewhere from 1 to 5 of the slats have broken off from normal operation

“I just increment the number at the end” is a phrase I’ve heard so many times

Good to know, I’ll check them out as well! Thank you

This has me seriously considering using a company like privacy.com to just create random CC numbers per sketchy website.

Did you change the native VLAN to IoT or just added the tag and left the native VLAN on the switch port set to default? You should be able to change the native VLAN and leave tagged VLANs as “allow all”.

My only other thought is how did you isolate the IoT network and are you able to access other devices from default to IoT?

I’ve had it running for a few months, I don’t use it that often but it’s been super handy when I need it.

Mine as well, i have a closet with a half rack with all my networking gear, NAS, UPS, proxmox server, etc. If I’m gone, it’s time for whoever lives here to just get a combined router/modem from the ISP and call it a day.

“can’t use the wiring” So in the old days they made people leave all their phones connected when they moved right? /s

You’re not wrong and, to be fair, I’m mostly exaggerating when I say to rip out all the smart stuff.

Thermostat would stay, Alexa is being phased out but google home would stay, flood sensors I have at this time do not beep because of the stress is causes the pets just during normal testing, but those could be easily replaced.

However, I also have a ton of lighting, zigbee sensors, zigbee smart plugs, camera motion automations, alarm system automations, garage door automations, and other routines that can’t just be taken over by someone that has no desire to mess with HA. It’s not always about the functionality of the device itself, but what HA does to enhance it.

It’s especially true when it comes to things like HACS. I love HA but I’ve also told everyone I know that, if I die, rip all that shit out and replace all the “smart” stuff with regular stuff.

I’m not sure if you meant to reply to me, but that’s what I have been saying, if it says it’s a rendering, I don’t see how it’s different.

Documentaries have had drawings, with a disclaimer that it is an artist rendering, for as long as I can remember. Or what about when they hire actors to do a “dramatization” of what happened, how is this different?

The quote above is in my first post in this thread. And to say a human can’t render as well as a machine, is arguable, but that isn’t what this is about.

So again, if people are told that it’s a rendering, regardless of who or what rendered it, what is the issue, and should all past documentaries with human renderings/reenactments not be called documentaries?
