  Don't know about on PlayStation but: https://borderlands.fandom.com/wiki/Good_Touch

  An unlisted effect occurs with game controllers using vibrate that breaks the fourth wall. While the character wields the gun, the controller will vibrate continuously even when not firing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I can see where they're going with it, but it is a bit hard to write out

  Say I set up my favorite service in house, and said service has a client app. If I create my own DNS at home and point the client to the entry, and the service is running an encrypted connection with a self signed cert it can give the client app fits for being untrusted.

  Compare that to putting NPM in front of the app, using it to get a LetsEncrypt cert using the DNS record option (no need to have LE reach the service publicly) and now you have a trusted cert signed by a public CA for the client app to connect to.

  I actually do the same for a couple internal things that I want the local traffic secured because I don't want creds to be sniffable on the wire, but they're not public facing. I already have a domain for other public things so it doesn't cost anything extra to do it this way.

  This settlement might help because Trump has directed one $22 million payment YouTube will make to the body overseeing his pet project – construction of a ballroom at the White House. Another $2.5 million payment will go to plaintiffs who joined the case and also felt YouTube infringed their rights.

  A true man of the people, a couple scraps for however many may have felt their 'rights' to spout their conspiracies in YouTube where infringed, and 10X that for a fancy room for rich people to party in and plan how to become richer.

  That's mostly the reason I went for them, trying as some back burner thing to get whatever appliances, lights cameras, etc all figured how I could do them fully in house. Not a huge priority, switches work just fine, but if I do set such things up the idea of it failing because of an Internet outage is a no-go

  On totally unrelated news, I'm finding the my new ecobee to be pretty sweet. Supposedly it can be two stepped into homeassistant via Apple's webkit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFS Plex, the server is on my local network⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was probably using Emby already by then, had bought a lifetime license since it didn't require bouncing things off and outside server like Plex did (or was it that Plex was a renewing subscription, I forget) , so it just stayed out of inertia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFS Plex, the server is on my local network⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can't say I've given Jellyfin a proper try (as in using it and the clients exclusively for a long period) but we have been using Emby for quite a while before I knew it existed.

  If I'm not mistaken Jellyfin is actually a fork of Emby so they're pretty similar, but one is a bit older.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone find a redeeming factor about this game? Like anything good about it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure that's where I played it. In an era where having a round head on your character was good graphics it was pretty fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there a handy list somewhere to defed from? I don't expect them to gain any traction unless they had an existing user base before, but would be nice to keep communal running tab.

  Nothing says legitimate presidential status like using every means possible to silence dissent.

  LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!

  Tell a Minnesota native it's gonna be 32 degrees and they'll be out in shorts either way you measure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A guide for our friends outside the U.S.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It's the one part of Murica measurements that makes decent sense. Science aside I just want to know what to wear that day in a human scale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just had a hospital group employee tell me to simply email medical information⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Many places refer to secure email when they mean a portal that function is more like a private chat app. A lot of them are even sold as 'secure mail' but don't use anything resembling SMTP.

  Instead you log into a page, and send a message to the specified recipient who might have an email style address on it, or maybe on the backend it uses their email system for authentication even.
