  • That's funny because I recently started playing a modpack through Prism Launcher and I only eat because it is tied to health regeneration. It's a minor inconvenience and doesn't add anything else. Even the various foods the modpack adds can be distilled to what provides the most benefit for the least work because it is a chore instead of a rewarding and engaging experience.

  • How do you build a life up from scratch?

    Jump

  • My approach would be to find one thing and define it a home. For example, I keep nail clippers near my computer desk in an IKEA letter tray with other small, hard to group items like my lip balm, SD card readers, flash drives, ETC. From there, when I'm going through a bin of random shit and I find my cuticle shears, I have another item to group it with and a home for both.

    If some items are hard to find a home for, create a place for those objects to live together like a found-family trope.

  • Adam Savage once pointed out that organization isn't a problem to be solved it's a process to be managed. You won't find a perfect solution, but you can try things out and see how they work and make more changes later once you have new data to work with.

    If you have been just surviving, you probably haven't had the luxury of indecision. You need solutions, answers, and only have time for the things on the critical path. Now you're off that path and things are less straightforward. Take any advice you like, but understand the real answer will be something you need to grow yourself by fertilizing the soil with ideas and giving them time to either grow or rot.

    That said, my organization starts with giving everything a place. It doesn't have to be a perfect place, or even a good place at first, and can just be wherever it is right now.

    When you use the item, it returns to it's place. As you learn how you use the items, you can then start changing their place to be better. You're thinking about categories, but that comes from how you use or intend to use that item. That is knowledge you need to develop again, so don't worry about it yet.

    For furniture I like things that have clearly separate spaces that can be filled as I define things. The Kallax line of IKEA shelves is great as they are just cubes you can fill with bins, objects, or split with shelves and drawers. I move then around constantly, but that's fine since this isn't a problem to solve and in just managing the process.

  • The police chief in Cottonwood Heights, Utah, says he doesn’t want to enforce a new state law that prohibits drivers from parking in bike lanes

    Jump

  • The newsletter they reference is ever funnier.

    • First, the Chief looks like biking isn't an activity he does regularly, so perhaps not a well-informed opinion there.
    • Second, there is a picture of a vehicle blocking a bike lane which appears to be used as an example of the problem. Of course, this vehicle is parked so far from the curb that it should probably be ticketed anyways.
    • Third, the area they use as an example is in front of a high school that appears to have been widened specifically to create a drop-off area. Unless you literally parked too far over, you wouldn't interfere with the bike lane at all. Toss in some concrete bollards and this problem goes away.
    • Fourth, the school has a fucking drop off in the parking lot just beyond that spot, so its not like there is no alternative!

  • Pi-hole client filtering without DHCP?

    Jump

  • I run AdGuard as an addon to Home Assistant. If you want to stick to AdGuard you can go to Settings > Client Settings and set a per-client filtering rule. There is a tab in the client settings that can be used to filter specific services with a click. Setting an IP reservation for your child's device in the DHCP settings of Unifi or your router will help ensure the IP address stays consistent.

    For the PiHole option, you don't actually have to let the PiHole handle DHCP. You just need to tell your DHCP server what DNS server to use. For example, my router is .1 and my Raspberry PI is .2. The DHCP server, my router, tells all devices .1 is the gateway and .2 is the DNS server. You may also need to set these settings on the individual devices to prevent them from ignoring your DNS settings, but that can be done from the network settings. Avast had some safe networking "feature" that would force my DNS settings to be ignored, same with my Android phone.

    Of course, the downside to all of this is that any different device, different IP, device from a friend, or mobile data could bypass these restrictions. You may soon be in an arms race with your child and chances are they can get more clever that you can in a shorter time frame.

  • I never really understood doing this as I hate getting most notifications when in awake. Unsubscribe and filter spam emails, disable notifications you don't want, and uninstall any app that provides notifications that can't be disabled.

    I want my waking hours to be as undisturbed as my sleeping hours while still retaining my awareness for friends, family, and emergencies.

  • Home Assistant as security camera PVR??

  • MotionEye may be worth looking into further. There is an add-on for it. I have used to before on a raspberry Pi to steam video of the washer in the basement so that I could know if it was done from the second floor.

  • Where Are All The Cheap E-Bikes? - Jalopnik

    Jump

  • Funny thing is I've been thinking $1,500 isn't a bad price for an alterative mode is transportation that isn't a second car. I've even seen options that go over 750 watts of power, but those are classified as mopeds in my area, need to be licensed, and cannot use bike paths. An actual, classifiable electric bicycle does seem weirdly hard to find.
