  • I’m still trying to figure out my network settings so that I can have my IoT one one network while still being able to access my home assistant from the other network.

    Unfortunately, my ISP is also my cable company, and I have to use their modem/router combo else the cable boxes won’t accept the cable signal. I’m using my own wireless access point (which also doubles as a switch for the handful of Ethernet devices I have), and it can split off a separate SSID, but that’s not really doing much.



  • I’m frustrated that Immich doesn’t have a “back up new photos only” option.

    All the photos on my phone are already in a huge external library with my backups from previous phones. I don’t want to delete them from my phone just so immich doesn’t freak out, and I don’t wanna have them on my NAS twice
    Immich seems great, but this seems like the bread and butter migration path that nearly everyone would take.




  • As a fellow comp sci graduate (different uni, long time ago) that doesn’t fill me with a ton of confidence lol.

    This could actually be a study on phishing lol
    Or a less ethical study on virus propagation
    Or maybe he has just gone rogue and his university hasn’t noticed because they probably don’t actually monitor what students are hosting very closely, as long as it’s not causing problematic network traffic.\

    I doubt it, but I’m still not gonna click a link that someone is asking me to click lol








  • People care about graphics.
    But they care about other things more
    So the graphics need to be in service to something.

    Imo the problem is that studios have become risk adverse because their budget is so big, so they pick an already popular IP, choose a marketable aspect of that IP, and spend that fortune turning the dial of that aspect up to 11.

    Like X but bigger map
    Like Y but more playable characters
    Like Z but better graphics
    Etc
    But none of the time actually innovating any new player experience.

    And players are finally getting fed up with playing the same handful of AAA game experiences again and again with different titles.

    Graphics just happens to be the marketable attribute they like to crank most often



  • I think a lot of people here aren’t looking at this in the right way:

    They don’t have to accept accounts for student or let students interact. This can be an alternative system for disseminating announcements with optional mechanisms for feedback. All they need to do is federate and then any of their students subscribe.

    I’ve been wishing that my my governments (at all levels) would do this so I can get notified of things like changes to bus schedules or closures of highways and shit.
