I work here (for a little bit longer at least). Today sucked, lost a lot of really amazing and talented folks on projects that were soooo close to completion. Came completely out of the blue from our crypto-bro overlords.
- Comment on SONOFF ZBMicro Zigbee USB smart adapter adds any USB device to your Smart Home setup 5 days ago:
I think it’s a glorified outlet switch that passes data through.
I don’t know what you would use this for. Disconnecting devices like a printer I guess.
- Comment on When did the show "Suits" suddenly get popular? 1 week ago:
What’s her face from the show marrying the prince dude, also probably helped.
- Comment on Phones have unique phone numbers, why dont computers have unique computer-numbers? 1 week ago:
Intel tried this on the Pentium 3, we all hated it so they stopped.
- Comment on Why I ditched Gmail for Proton Mail 3 weeks ago:
Self hosting email is even more of a pain.
- Comment on Gluetun: The Little VPN Client That Could 3 weeks ago:
A lot of reasonably competent geeks just never get deep into networking, and VPNs can be overwhelming. It doesn’t really help that for a long time it was all IPSec which basically you need to learn voodoo to manage. Thankfully we have much better tools now, but it’s still just a tech layer that many people don’t touch frequently.

- Comment on I'm looking for large, battery powered customizable Bluetooth buttons 3 weeks ago:
Why Bluetooth?
I’d do something with zigbee and home assistant. Plenty of cheap zigbee buttons can be found on aliexpress
- Comment on Is there a standard/preferred list order for non-alphanumeric characters? 4 weeks ago:
Ascii numbers?

Analogue pocket
- Comment on How do I view long screenshots without them being blurry? 4 weeks ago:
Are you using sync? This is a sync bug.
Open post and tap on the image there, usually works for me.
- Comment on Palia developers lay off a third of staff just weeks after cosy life sim's Steam launch 5 weeks ago:
They don’t generally have the funding to have multiple games in the pipeline, so that each resource is busy at all times.
It’s a shitty deal for the staff and they should contract more or something instead.
- Comment on I just rewatched Discovery. Does anyone else think this jump in the timeline is too jarring? 1 month ago:
Well, it’s been a long road getting from there to here…
- Comment on Telegram’s Peer-to-Peer Login system is a risky way to save $5 a month 1 month ago:
Wow, that’s insane.
- Comment on Can you un-smart a smart tv? 1 month ago:
This doesn’t work on the latest firmware FYI.
I use this to run an instance of Hyperion on the tv to run leds on the back of it, that dynamically change color to match the show. Since it’s native on the tv it works in jellyfin or my pc hdmi cable.
For me running jellyfin in the tv works so well, it’s worth giving it network access.

I’ve used getdataback successfully a few times in the past.
- Comment on Tip: mount Jellyfin transcode directory to hard drive! 2 months ago:
Can just point it to /dev/shm as a transcoding folder, for a quick and dirty way.
Otherwise you’d mount a ramfs disk.

- Comment on Cisco to lay off more than 4,000 employees to focus on artificial intelligence 2 months ago:
Really kind of them to let their investors know first, rather than the people impacted. I bet morale there is wonderful.
- Comment on Why is living with your parents considered a bad thing? 2 months ago:
Agreed. I think this is more of a late 90s / early 2000s thing. It’s become more acceptable today for sure, especially if you’re going to university or something.
- Comment on Why is living with your parents considered a bad thing? 2 months ago:
Implication is that you’re incapable of being self sufficient.
Too broke to move out, your parents still cook for you / do your laundry, can’t bring a girl home without your parents hearing you get it on, etc.
- Comment on Are Instacart tipping reccomendations insane or am I being miserly? 2 months ago:
I think this is very regional.
Here in Vancouver I’d say 15% is standard, and most preset options are 15% / 18% / 20%.
I was just in NYC and it seemed like 20% was standard with the preset options being 18% / 20% / 25%.
Seriously though, fuck tipping. I’m not paying an extra $50 on an already expensive $200 bill just because your employer underpants you.
- Comment on Is HTTPS a scam? 2 months ago:
- zerossl.com
- www.sslforfree.com
- Cloudflare if you route traffic through them (you might consider this a string)
- Comment on Is HTTPS a scam? 2 months ago:
They’re a non profit backed by a ton of major internet players, it’s not going to happen. letsencrypt.org/about/
What you’re talking about was already the situation before LE existed, we’re not going back to that. There’s other free providers now too.
- Comment on Is HTTPS a scam? 2 months ago:
Letsencrypt certs are free dude. Https literally costs you nothing.
- Comment on What would happen if you moved at the speed of light? 2 months ago:
Lizard babies, obviously.
- Comment on Is it Possible for a 55inch LED TV to Run on Only 50W or am I Being Scammed? 2 months ago:
Just google the specific TV and look at the specs on the company website, it should be listed.
www.jackery.com/…/how-many-watts-does-a-tv-use indicates 50W is probably a bit low, but would depend on your particular model.
- Comment on Opnsense and one ethernet port 2 months ago:
It’s perfectly effective, they become fully isolated from each other. Yes vlans would work if they’re all on the same host. If they’re not on the same host you would need a vlan capable switch, or at least one that’ll pass tagged packets through.
