- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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 4 weeks 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? 1 month 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' 1 month 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 2 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! 3 months ago:
Given pihole’s recent record with updates, I’m not sure I want them firing automatically.
- Comment on DietPi is great! 3 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! 3 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] 3 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.

How are you geoblocking?
- Comment on Fan-made Mario Kart 64 PC port released, with track editor and ultrawide support 4 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 4 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.
libreelec.tv - Comment on Steam Next Fest has started once again. What good demos have you found? 4 months ago:
The demo for the update of Camp Keepalive is worth checking out
…steampowered.com/…/Camp_Keepalive_Endless_Summer…
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 4 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 5 months ago:
Retro computing?
- Comment on How do you document your Homelab? 5 months ago:
Obsidian synced via git.
- Comment on Looking for recommendations 5 months ago:
The Steins;Gate game has a very opaque choice system. The ending you get has to do with how you use the character’s phone in the game, not really how you interact with people. I suggest playing with a guide.
It’s really good, though. - Comment on The internet is millions of monkeys hammering away on typewriters. 5 months ago:
Damn right.
- Comment on Blizzard reportedly taps Nexon to publish Overwatch mobile and a new StarCraft game 5 months ago:
Huh, I only just noticed that Tracer’s googles there are a nod to Sonic.
- Comment on Consumer GPUs to run LLMs 6 months ago:
I would prefer to have GPUs for under $600 if possible
Unfortunately not possible for a new nvidia card (you want CUDA) with 16GB VRAM. You can get them for ~$750 if you’re patient. This deal was available for awhile earlier today:
…msi.com/…/GeForce-RTX-5070-Ti-16G-SHADOW-3X-OC
Or you could try to find a 16GB 4070Ti Super like I got. It runs Deepseek 14B and stuff like Stable Diffusion no problem. - Comment on Optimal Plex Settings for Privacy-Conscious Users 6 months ago:
Can’t figure out why you would use Plex over jellyfin
Probably the biggest reason is that it makes it so easy to securely share across the internet. With JF you’re on your own and you can really fuck things up. If you’re just running it on your LAN the JF is the obvious choice.

That’s some… uh… that’s some programmer art there.
- Comment on Rant! 100GB Log file in Nextcloud. 8 months ago:
Everything I hear about Nextcloud scares me away from messing with it.
- Comment on How often do you run backups on your system? 8 months ago:
I tried Kopia but it was unstable and janky, so now it’s whenever I remember to manually run a bunch of rsync. I backup my desktop to cold storage on the first of the month, so I should get in the habit of backing up my server to the NAS then also.
