• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Darkest Dungeon (the first)
  It’s fun, but particularly punishing now that most available missions are at the hardest difficulty.
  Not too sure how long I’ll keep banging my head on certain bosses though.

  Dave the Diver
  It was interesting, refreshing even, but I don’t see myself playing too much past the the main story.

  Shattered Pixel Dungeon
  I’m playing on my phone, an everlasting classic in my rotation.
  I do have it on Steam, but I mostly play on my phone, I’m just used to using the Wacom pen (Samsung Note) for this game.
  A mouse would be fine too, but I usually play this on the couch and not at my desk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How bad are my printer's VFAs?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like maybe ~2mm spacing on these lines so possibly just belt related.
  Check if it’s worse in a specific axis, the belt might might just be too tight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nextcloud Help: Unable to access from phone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Phones sometimes will ignore your local DNS (if any) and still use whatever the vendor hardcoded.

  Try to reach the website from the phones, both with its FQDN and its IP.

  Yea, I was referring to the OSI model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨my smart hot air fryer, every single time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  lol fuck thag noise, literally.
  Unsolder the piezo.

  Pro tip: Since it obviously has wifi or something, it has an FCC id printed somewhere (probably next to the model/serial number).
  Search the fccid.io website for that number and there’ll be photos of its insides which can help you figure out how to open it, know where the piezo is likely to be, and neuter that loud fucker.
  I’ve done a kettle that would beep 80ish dBA everytime it started, it was done, or when you put it back in the base.

  Obviously, unplug it from mains before opening. Insert all applicable disclaimers about not burning down your house or maiming yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am attempting to get into self hosting after a shockingly frightening experience. I am very lost though.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A single misconfigured thing can suck real bad as you’ve seen.
  Selfhosting involves lots of things that can be misconfigured or go bad.

  That’s not to scare you out of it out anything, merely to congratulate you in seeking knowledge first.

  Disclaimer: I’m biased towards networks because I’m a network engineer, opinions may differ.

  I would say… having at least a vague grasp of layers 1-4 of the traditional network model is a decent start.
  You don’t need to understand everything, but knowing a minimum will help a lot imho.

  It’s hard to point you in the right direction without knowing what you already know or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly a third of all gaming PCs are still running Windows 10, even as Microsoft prepare to kill it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also bullshit, because Windows 10 LTSC IoT is supported through 2032 or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft launches ‘vibe working’ in Excel and Word⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft says its Agent Mode in Excel has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in SpreadsheetBench, a benchmark for evaluating an AI model’s ability to edit real world spreadsheets.

  It generates 42.8% bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who has access to our email addresses?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, your email might be saved in some app you’ve used to login, including your browser’s saved credentials thingy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is SJW blocking any IP ranges?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My guess would be something related to ratelimiting. Lots of mobile provider use the same IP for lots of clients.
  Obviously don’t share your IP on lemmy, but I could look into it more if you share your IP with me on matrix, which is linked in my profile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who has access to our email addresses?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The email is only stored locally and never used in federation.
  So that’s local admins only, and even then, only if you have access to the database itself.
  Right now, that would be TheDude and me.

  Emails aren’t very useful to us admins.
  Sure, spammers tend to use junk emails, but (some) legit users also do, so it’s a bit moot to start looking at addresses en masse.
  Basically the only time I even see any email address is if they have trouble with the initial verification email.
  The email is very useful to allow users to reset their password, but that’s an automated process, and not something we’d look at.

  Peace

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what replacement to nova launcher would you recommend?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, you can change app icons to anything you like, including another installed app or custom images.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what replacement to nova launcher would you recommend?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve switched to… hyperion…? a while back.
  I did like Nova a lot, and used that pretty exclusively for much longer, but switched when it got bought.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm Unable to get any PETG HF Filament to Stick on the Bed after having Switched from a 0.4mm to a 0.2mm Nozzle [Bambu P1S]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aside from adhesion itself, maybe that specific filament is (also) underextruding?
  I have has a batch of 1.75mm filament that was actually something like 1.6ish. I tried to have it stick, but nothing worked because it simply wasn’t extruding enough.
  I eventually measured it with calipers, set that in the slicer and then it started worked fine.
  Similarly, maybe your .2mm nozzle has a partial clog?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there no good inexpensive CAD software?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sadly, the CAD software I have the most experience with is SolidWorks. It has its quirks, but I like it and I know my way around.
  Which is too bad, because it’s completely absolutely fucking stupidly expensive for any home use.

  Not to mention I’ve heard stories of people getting caugth through exported models’.metafata and getting sued for publishing models made with pirated or student versions or whatnot.
  I’m not even a business and whilr I have no moral qualms pirating software, I don’t exactly wanna deal with an actively hostile company either.

  I’ve switched to onshape for now, but I know enshittification will eventually butcher it too.
  There’s a few others I’ve tried that I either can’t get good at, or that simply lack functionality.

  I’ve been meaning to try Alibre CAD, but last I checked, their trial thing required back and forth with a rep and I just never bothered.

  I don’t even mind paying, yet not $5k yearly or some shit.
  If you ever find something, ping me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve reinstalled Disco Elysium, but on the Steam Deck this time.
  I had started a playground a while back, but I took a break after barely scratching the surface.
  I was too burnt out from work at the time to really enjoyed it, so I parked it and kept it for later.

  Playing it on the deck also has the benefit of me not still sitting in my home office after working.

  Me not remembering much of the beginning of that playthrough is actually pretty immersive in its own way too.

  No apologies needed. Although, ordering one before they reban it again may or may not be something to consider.

  That’s without even getting into whether or not Microsoft knows what they’re doing themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feeling insecure about going to a 'girlie pop' concert as a 30 year old man, am i overthinking it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t overthink it, have fun, bring good earplugs.
  No seriously, there are plugs meant for shows, designed to not butcher it too much, merely attenuate it all a bit.
  First, you’ll avoid tinnitus.
  Second, it blocks out quite a bit of the other show-goers background noise.
