The asterism gives me big Splinter Cell vibes and I’m definitely OK with that.
- Comment on Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms 2 months ago:
Hmm, I’ve found it quite noticeable. Perhaps turn an FPS counter on and see what it’s actually running at. If you have a game showing on both screens, it’ll likely limit the fps to suit the lowest display hz.

If the two are beside eachother, you’ll definitely see the difference.

- Comment on How to make my server reachable 3 months ago:
I’m definitely not a network pro, but it sounds like you’re looking to do something similar to what I have.
I’ve got nginx proxy manager as my reverse proxy with pi-hole for local DNS. All traffic goes through the pi-hole and anything going to mydomain.com has DNS entries pointing to nginx. I’ve set nginx up so service.lan.mydomain.com is for anything local and just service.mydomain.com for anything external with wildcard SSL certs for both (*.domain doesn’t seem to cover *.lan.domain so add certs for both - probably because it’s a sub-subdomain).
The Cloudflare tunnel can then just get directed to service.mydomain.com instead of the IP of the service.
- Comment on installing awnings? 3 months ago:
They’d be better than nothing, but you’re right, actively managed often means not managed unless it really has to be. But, they could stay down all day for the hottest parts of the year without issue.
- Comment on installing awnings? 3 months ago:
I do energy consulting, and it’s hard to effectively shade east and west windows from morning and evening sun. Awnings on the west lose effectiveness because the sun gets lower and lower in the sky as it sets, requiring an awning to be lower (blocking the view) to still provide shade to the window. An awning will help to block the more southern portion coming around earlier in the day, but the most effective would likely be adjustable exterior blinds or coverings rather than an awning.
As you’ve discovered, interior blinds aren’t very effective too. Once that sun is through the window, it’s hard to get back out.
- Comment on Networking Dilemma 4 months ago:
Sorry, four of the power to ethernet plugs. You put one near your router to essentially supply internet to your house’s electrical circuits, then distribute the others where you need them, such as office, living room if you want to connect a TV or console, etc.
- Comment on Networking Dilemma 4 months ago:
I had a set of four for getting ethernet around the few places I rented. There was maybe the odd quality decrease when there was a lot of electrical load, but they worked great otherwise.

And also that many contracts to improve on IT are performed by the lowest bidder.
- Comment on Network loss after 24hrs on Docker LXC 7 months ago:
This is mostly my reasoning too. I’ve got a bit more juice than a NUC, but I prefer the way resources are managed with an LXC for the certain apps that I run. I still have VMs for other things, like HAOS and a BlueIris NVR. It’s only a local homelab with no external users so avoiding additional complexity is often in my best interest.
- Comment on Network loss after 24hrs on Docker LXC 7 months ago:
Why would one prefer a VM over an LXC for Docker?
- Comment on Network loss after 24hrs on Docker LXC 7 months ago:
I might have found the issue, see updates above. I have a separate Docker LXC that was behaving normally, so was good to cross-check with.
- Comment on Network loss after 24hrs on Docker LXC 7 months ago:
Docker is installed on a Debian container with Proxmox as the hypervisor. I believe as far as Docker knows, it’s just running on normal Debian. The Debian LXC has its own local ip.
I’ll take a look at those resources though, thanks.

Many local libraries provide access to this incredible resource too. Check yours to see.

Without extortionate extra fees either. I recently wanted to crossplay Overcooked on my PC with a couple friends on my PS4. “Buy PSPlus for only $100+ to play this game online!” Yeah, fuck off.

- Comment on Heat-pump water heaters are a winner for the climate — and your wallet 11 months ago:
Right, they make absolute sense if you don’t have access to cheap natural gas. I’m worried for the day NG prices rise though. It’ll be a double whammy for those of us in SK with the vast majority of the heating in the populated south provided by NG and a grid that has a significant portion produced by NG. You’ll see the increase even if you aren’t heating with gas.
- Comment on Samsung is planning a 400-500$ foldable for 2024 1 year ago:
I’ve got a z flip 3 (have had it for 2 years) and really like how compact it is. I don’t often use many of the special flip software features, but it’s quite handy being able to sit the phone upright for video calls/meetings or having it stand up sideways for a stable night photo.
I don’t think I’ll go back to a typical brick phone after this one when it’s time to upgrade. The flip 4 and 5 both look quite decent and this cheaper one would be great as I don’t need a whole lot of extra power.
- Comment on Need help running homeassistantOS as a VM. VM doesnt receive ipv4 address. 1 year ago:
Not an expert, just something I did and learned from; does the hardware you’re running on have more than one ethernet port (enp#…)? Is it possible you’ve selected the wrong one?
Also I notice my VMs in proxmox have the bridge nomenclature of vmbr0 (not virb0) perhaps something there?
Just throwing ideas out there, I’m pretty new at this.
- Comment on Heat pumps can't take the cold? Nordics debunk the myth 1 year ago:
Which is why you have a backup system. I have a net zero house in Saskatchewan, Canada. My Carrier heat pump will operate to -15C, and switches to electric heating coils in the air handler if it’s colder outside. It’s a rather extreme climate here, but in most other places, you’d be fine with some baseboard heaters as backup.

There was also a large amount of money thrown at developing the vaccine because of the virus’ significant economic impacts.

- Comment on My new favourite password manager 1 year ago:
I could see it being tedious if you had to manually enter long, random string passwords regularly. Though I suppose you could change them to something easier to type. Ctrl+shift+L (bitwarden extension autofill shortcut) is just so much more convenient.

Also a happy customer of Nebula here. I’ve come across some pretty interesting content on there.
