I completely missed the taskbar at the top. Thought the guy was wondering what the 3.5 floppy drive was.

There is an HACS addon for Meross to make the calls all local. I haven't messed with it too much but it does work. The issue with my garage door opener is purely an issue with my Ubiquity setup and the fact it's connecting through an exterior wall.

I have Meross smart plugs and they don't cycle unexpectedly. They do use older wifi chips though and my Meross garage door opener has issues staying connected for some reason . I've not had an issue with their power plugs though, been using them for 3-4 years as well.

That's awesome, thanks man. Yet another thing to add to the never ending list!

How can I get started? I have a full homelab ready for hosting one!!

Growing up, one of my best friends parents set us up with a terminal MUD connection. Basically an old school, text based only MMO. You had to type in your commands, "look north", "walk east", "attack

I wish I remembered what server it was or if any even exist any more.

That's really unfortunate as I bought NRftW at EA launch and love the game. Any EA takes time and they really are putting a lot into it.

They recently launched a ginormous patch that basically revamped a lot of the combat and performance issues in the game, requiring a new character be made. I was upset when I first heard the news, but after reading the gigantic patch notes released it makes total sense why my old character just won't work anymore. It's still playable in a different version too, they didn't out right delete the character.

I don't think multiplayer is available yet which may be a huge gripe for everyone as they said at launch it was their next main objective, but the game plays really well as a single player.

The only complaint I may have is that loading times are abysmal, but I play primarily on Steam Deck and have to say the latest patch has addressed many performance issues outside of load times that it suffered from on previously. Lots of love going into the game and I suppose it's time for me to post this on Steam for their support!

That's exactly the reason it exists, because you need to start somewhere and eliminating cost can help drive business growth.

Have you tried adjusting the heads on the VCR units you have? It's pretty easy to do, catch a quick YouTube of it. Just requires removing the chassis and a flathead screw driver.

I'd also suggest trying to rwind the tape by hand if a particular part of it is "bad"and try playing it from the start.

Last ditch effort, cut the tape to get rid of the bad section and splice the good sections together with a small dab of super glue. It binge within seconds and it's playable after a minute or two. I've recently done this for two tapes of my own with advice of a colleague who's also done it and it works flawlessly.

I'm querying my internal meme database and if I recall weren't these pictures of before and after Square announced FF VII port for the PS3. Not the remaster, just a playable port. And the pictures are reversed timeline, meaning they were very excited (bottom picture), but then quickly disappointed (top picture) after realized Square pulled a switcharoo? Could be wrong but going crazy with the thought now!

I'm convinced he just has a vendetta against the American system. He's been raised with the connotation that America is out to get him. Failed businesses, failed casinos, failed non-profits. NO! It's the system that's fucked up, not ME! A tyrannical dumbass that can't accept failure and realize his own issues. He instead blames it on everyone else. Well guess what, he's in charge and going to game the system in his favor now, or take it down trying.

I bought a WiiU refurbished directly from Nintendo shortly before the Switch came out. I did it purely because the first big hax was released and I was able to easily port my GC\Wii hacked HDD to it AND also have WiiU games hacked games available. WW and TWP were also a big part of that purchase decision for me.

I got a Switch and BotW ultimate CE on release, but will be skipping the S2 for some time. Likely until the next Zelda comes out if the Steam Deck can't easily emulate other S2 titles by that time. I'm bummed I'll be missing the new DK game (only 10GB file size though so not very big) and Hyrule Warriors game as the last one was amazing, but it's a basic beat em up so no love really lost there.

Not sure if you've de-googled yourself or not but there is a Google Drive Addon that has a whole slew of options for backing up your HA config. I'm sure there are alternate HA add-ons. This may require HACS but not certain.

Trying to sub to their forum on lemmy.dbzero.com but getting a server error when I enter lemmy.world to subscribe from. Does that mean it's defederated from lemmy.world?

Onto the supreme Court where it will likely get shut down because this is against capitalism. I wish humans weren't as stupid as we are.

My wife is a middle school teacher and I 100% feel your pain through her.

So yeah... I noticed you haven't filed your TPS reports this week.

Kei was recently found to botch all of their safety test scores for many years. As another commenter said, any crash in that design is guaranteed life threatening without some type of buffer.

It's quite literally how I laid it out. I have a Fedora server with an Unbound container for roothints lookup, and a pihole container for internal DNS sevices. It's taken a lot of time to get working like any homelab stuff.

I've never heard of powerDNS but you may be in a situation where you need to read their docs or try and find other posts or videos of what you're trying to accomplish. Sorry I wasn't much more help.

At 10 they should know better. Now, I don't know the dynamic of this "neighborship", and pettiness is not the way to go about anything. At the same time though, it's only water.
