  • Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse

  • I still don't understand the point of downvoting here since it doesn't seem to affect visibility. You'll have the dumbest take on something sitting there at -36 and I still have to look at it.

  • I'm on both. If you only want to follow techies, go with Mastodon. If you want to follow non-techies or celebrities or whatever, go with Bluesky.

  • Looking for CPU upgrade advice

    Jump

  • You'll have to make sure your BIOS is updated to be compatible with a new CPU. It's a PITA, but you'll need to go to Asrock's site and scroll through the different versions and figure out what your board can support. I also have a cheap old Asrock B450M board. Started with a 5600, now running a 5700x. So Asrock can be good about updates.

  • What do you recommend for a TV client?

    Jump

  • I use an older Pi (can't remember the model) running LibreELEC + Jellyfin client + the Kodi Sync Queue plugin on the server. Jellyfin takes over the entire Kodi library on the client. Control is via CEC from the TV.My understanding is that Raspberry Pis are not great value anymore if you don't need the GPIO pins, so there may be a more affordable Single Board Computer out there that will run LibreELEC. Maybe even x86.I'm also trying an Apple TV 4K which I got on sale. It works well, and there's a free Jellyfin client app in addition to a couple of pay ones, but I haven't figured out how to configure my universal remote so I don't need the Apple remote.

  • Sometimes devs intentionally punish players for struggling with the game

    Jump

  • What could I do? Uninstall.

    If you aren't having fun with it, sure. I was expecting the comments to be people arguing with how you have fun (using the dev console), but fortunately that's not the case.

  • Where does JF get its placeholder image when it can't find a banner for a band?

    Jump

  • Good find!

  • Where does JF get its placeholder image when it can't find a banner for a band?

    Jump

  • I doubt it because I have absolutely no idea who those eight guys are - they aren't a band I listen to. The image for J bands is some hair rocker, and for D bands it's some (presumably) K-Pop act, none of whom are in my library.

  • Where does JF get its placeholder image when it can't find a banner for a band?

    Jump

  • When I Edit Images for the band, the Logo, Primary, and Backdrop images are all appropriate, so it's not using one of those (you'd think it would be Backdrop...) so I guess I'm digging for fanart.jpg.

  • What are your opinions of using Pi-hole for DNS within a homelab environment?

    Jump

  • I have pihole running on an old Raspberry Pi B and it just chugs along. Except for the wonky update they put out a few months ago. That took some cleaning up after.I check the dashboard a few times a day and it's a good way to notice network issues and misbehaving programs.I'm also running it through cloudflared to encrypt the requests, in case my ISP is snooping on them.

  • What is your development environment?

    Jump

  • Windows with PythonWin (like IDLE) for most stuff, VSCode for vibe coding, even though I haven't explored it much. I still need to figure out how to get local coding models running so I can compare them to whatever online AI comes with VS.Plus a Mac with TextMate.

  • Valve says the Steam Machine is better than what 70% of PC gamers have at home

    Jump

  • Well they ought to know because of the Steam Hardware Survey. I'd trust the number.

  • Yay! Now we get ads in shared links!

    Jump

  • I've been using Waterfox for months and it works just like Firefox did. It has no AI features. It would be nice if it would offer to import you ff profile.

  • Pimped Amiga 500

    Jump

  • I'm disappointed that this is 'carefully restored' and not so much 'pimped'. I was expecting RGB.Still, neat project.

  • Cams, anyone?

    Jump

  • It displays fine by default, but the image only updates every several seconds. I'm talking about a live video feed, which needs some kind of special frame which has to be bolted onto HA somehow.

  • Cams, anyone?

    Jump

  • I haven't, that's the problem. It seems like it's possible, but I've given up trying for the moment.

  • Cams, anyone?

    Jump

  • I have a Reolink PoE camera. It works fine. As far as I can tell, it only uses the internet to check for updates and set the time, but I have it blocked off anyway. Home Assistant was actually causing it to check for updates, too, so that got disabled.I don't record, so I can't help you there.I will say that is a pain to get Home Assistant to display real-time video instead of a slide show.

  • Boy that screenshot from War Robots: Frontierstm sure looks intriguing. I'll wishlist it.

    Jump

  • Right? Has this ever worked for anyone? I've never bothered because of how easy it is for spammers to bypass.
