I’ve just started a Zulip POC and it’s been decent so far. Definitely resembles Discord.

OP — Plex is a step easier, as Plex brokers the connection. No reverse proxy. The same plus in this case can also be seen as a minus.

I’m still on the Plex bus, and it’s good for me and friends. Jellyfin will get there one day, but right now it’s just not quite feature complete enough for my use cases.

It was always weird when I’d add WordArt and it had an extra finger in it.

I prefer to dice and soak in cold water first to get rid of that excess starch. Saving cook time is a win for me.

Dislike my ecobee pro in my current house. Liked my first gen ecobee in my last house. The new one has a poor quality air quality sensor and I’ve had to calibrate the temp for it to feel proper. Also had to replace a unit that lost its connection with HomeKit and wouldn’t rejoin the home.

For me, my next solution will be based on what works best in Home Assistant.

To be fair, Ecobee isn’t the worst thing in the world, just not a brand I’d buy from a third time.

Yup, expect a residue if you delay removal. Painters tape is meant to be removed relatively soon after application. Rubbing alcohol can typically remove the residue.

I can't find my source for this memory, but I recall several years ago reading about Apple introducing automatic device resprings / restarts overnight. I think I still had my iPhone X at the time.

In my experience, it only happens while charging. I might have to cruise the old jailbreak subreddits to find whatever I think I'm remembering here.

Oh my, I didn’t catch that one but will be searching for it!

I love* solving wonky user issues. People do the darndest things.

Nothing wrong with a Windows box as your server. Use what you know. Windows skills are a great asset in the world.

This issue is OS-independent, meaning you would have the same problem on a Raspberry Pi as you did on your Windows box.

Irrelevant, unless your pihole is running on your DHCP server. Does the server running pihole have a statically assigned IP that is within the DHCP range being assigned to other devices?

Static addresses should be outside of your DHCP range, ideally. If you can’t change the range, and assuming sequential handouts of IPs from your router among other things, you can try setting the server’s static IP to a bigger number.

Not until Gen Z gets old enough and numerous enough to start pushing workplaces to adopt Apple, and that’s an even worse direction.

Elder millennial here. This was said of us, too. I remember main framers sometimes noting this direction and poking fun.

Yet here I am and the world keeps chugging along in similar ways.

That’s a good option on using the bang search.

Ultimately, I just don’t want the overhead of thinking which search engine to use based on quotas. Bang searches would be a little annoying, but less annoying than going to a different site altogether.

Oh man, I just had the memory pop in of using Plex on my AppleTV 2 — had to use a side-by-side python script running on the Plex server to make it work. My, how far we’ve come!

True. I get weird with caps, but maybe 300 would be reasonable. I’ll definitely consider that when the trial runs dry!

I’m a fan of the Apple TV because I’m in the ecosystem. Plex works just fine for me there. And I love that my Apple TVs don’t seem to rot out as fast as Android or Google TV boxes I’ve used in the past.

That being said, someone else mentioned the Onn box, and that thing seems to have pretty solid value. I’d start there, too, if I was trying something non-Apple.

I’ve been giving it a go, too. It does seem to be a bit better overall, with customized site priorities being the coolest part.

I think I could get on board for 5 bucks, but a tenskee a month is something I’ll look at twice whenever I take a critical look at the subscriptions.

According to the link in the top comment (sorry for caps, copied it out of the image): COOL AIR TRAVELS TOWARDS WARM AIR OVER LAND.

So the warm air does push, but it pushes upwards (rises). Cool, low pressure air, then fills the void.

This clarification brought to you by another non-expert in the field. Ha

I worked for a major (medical) company that would skip .0 releases, precisely to combat stigma and folks skipping it.

We did have one particularly bad release that we ended up telling folks to delay taking.

IMO, the real secret to most critical upgrades, and at the heart of skipping .0 releases, is to test in non-production, talk with super users and peers, and patch intentionally and quickly. If you have the resources.

Pi-hole.

My two top-blocked domains are related to TP-Link.

While I can’t always get local-only devices, I can at least separate their traffic and block the shit out of them.

I started the email thread with them on Friday. So far I’ve only received canned messages like they told the HA folks.

Guess I can sell that Hue hub after I move my Hue devices over to my HA/Zigbee config — what wasn’t broke and didn’t need fixing… will now finally be fixed and finished.
