- Comment on Sometimes devs intentionally punish players for struggling with the game 5 days ago:
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.
- Comment on What are your opinions of using Pi-hole for DNS within a homelab environment? 1 week ago:
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. - Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I’m disappointed that this is ‘carefully restored’ and not so much ‘pimped’. I was expecting RGB.
Still, neat project. - Comment on Cams, anyone? 5 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Cams, anyone? 5 weeks ago:
I haven’t, that’s the problem. It seems like it’s possible, but I’ve given up trying for the moment.
- Comment on Cams, anyone? 5 weeks ago:
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. - Comment on Game marketing company takes down blog post bragging about how good it is at astroturfing Reddit after Reddit finds the post 1 month ago:
Boy that screenshot from War Robots: Frontiers sure looks intriguing. I’ll wishlist it.

Right? Has this ever worked for anyone? I’ve never bothered because of how easy it is for spammers to bypass.
- Comment on What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint? 1 month ago:
Pillars of Eternity. I really appreciate that they must have had some Anthropology majors on the team, especially for II, because the worlds feel much more exotic than other RPGs. It shows up just how generic Medieval Fantasy most RPGs are.
The tropical Roparu (?) society with its caste system is particularly interesting. The interaction of the various factions is believable. And of course the pantheon is well though out.
The downside is that they can be clumsy about exposition of the world - especially in the first one, you get these enormous lore-dumps. - Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 months ago:
Finally caved in and started playing Slay the Spire. I was resistant because the game looked so ugly. Hideous UI, amateur art, whack animation. Unfortunately, it really is like that - but I understand the game itself is very well-made, so I’ll stick with it. I enjoyed Monster Train after all, and it has the same issues.
- Comment on Security camera recommendations? 2 months ago:
I have a Reolink PoE camera. It’s plugged into Home Assistant, and some setting in the integration had it phoning home constantly looking for updates. I turned that off and now it only connects outside of my network to sync the time.
The camera has survived outside for a few years now, so no complaints. - Comment on 2 months ago:
Home Assistant for viewing
Heads up: by default, HA does not show real-time, full-framerate video - just a snapshot that updates every 10 seconds or whatever. As with all things open source, there is a way to fix it, but you have to faff around. I haven’t bothered yet, but it’s on my list.
- Comment on What are you guys using to sort and name music? 3 months ago:
Sonarr + Picard
Do you mean Lidarr? Sonarr is the TV one (confusingly).
- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 3 months ago:
Sigh deeply, rub their foreheads, and open their wallets.

And no ads. I do want them to succeed, but, yeah.

Right on man. Fuckin’ Buddhists. Probably don’t even use Linux.
- Comment on Help diagnosing server freeze issue 4 months ago:
CPU-heavy process
Sounds to me like a hardware issue: you’re overheating. Find a way to monitor your temps. I’m not sure how to do this on Linux, so I’m open to suggestions too.

Cool, now let’s see Boggle as an FPS.
- Comment on DietPi is great! 5 months ago:
Given pihole’s recent record with updates, I’m not sure I want them firing automatically.
- Comment on DietPi is great! 5 months ago:
Unfortunately I can’t remember whether I downloaded pihole from some package manager within DietPi, or whether I used the instructions on pihole’s site. It’s not hard either way, it’s really just one package.
- Comment on DietPi is great! 5 months ago:
I run it for my pi-hole. It’s been great. It tells you when there are package updates when you log in, which I find helpful.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
Lots of Lemmy forums have a problem with stupid rage bait being left up. Like this could be in /c/programming since X is a program after all.

- Comment on Fan-made Mario Kart 64 PC port released, with track editor and ultrawide support 5 months ago:
Might as well link to it:
github.com/HarbourMasters/SpaghettiKart
You need to supply your own ROM of the correct version. - Comment on Launcher Recomendtion for media center 6 months ago:
I know Kodi running the Jellyfin plugin on LibreELEC works great on a Pi. I’m not entirely sure if/how Kodi supports YouTube, but there are so many plugins available it seems like it must.

The demo for the update of Camp Keepalive is worth checking out

It’s a nice, casual strategy game that still keeps you thinking. - Comment on Relive the days of unhinged GPU box artwork — new book catalogs 300 retail boxes with both horrors and delights 6 months ago:

Not the person you were responding to, but I’m quite happy with my DS220+. It’s on 106 days of uptime after a power out. The interface / OS is very friendly. The only downside is the weak processor which makes it inadequate for things like Immich’s AI or heavy Jellyfin use - but you get what you pay for.
Re. lemons; are you sure it was the NAS that had issues or could it have been the drives? Mine is loaded with WD Red drives iirc. - Comment on Windows 95 chime composer Brian Eno denounces Microsoft for its ties to Israeli government 7 months ago:
