  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

  • If you mean that you are using Proton VPN on your Raspberry Pi to mask your downloading traffic, then no that same VPN will not help you access services like Jellyfin on your home network while you are remote.

    Instead you'll want to use something like Tailscale (or Wireguard). You run it as a service on your home network and it then becomes your own VPN that you (or others) can use to connect to your home network when you are remote.

    You could run Wireguard on the same RaspberryPi that you use for downloading but I would recommend against it assuming that you're running Proton VPN right on the host itself (and not inside a container).

  • Wake on LAN. At least that's what I do. I can turn on the TV and adjust the volume from Home Assistant but the TV itself can't reach the Internet.

  • TIL Dick Bong

    Jump

  • I ran a tabletop game of Scum and Villainy and one of my players (our pilot) picked Dick Bong as his name both as an homage to this man and because it resulted in all the silliness that you'd expect when trying to refer to each other by character names.

  • Thank you. Funny enough it looks like I've already watched both of those videos last time I was looking into this. I'm comfortable soldering but it was yet another barrier to me actually making a purchase.

    I'll check out Dreame, I have not heard much about them.

    I've had two Neato's in the past and I really miss having one but I now live in a split-level house and the convenience factor drops down a lot when you have to carry it between floors all the time rather than just coming home to a freshly cleaned carpet.

  • How was your experience rooting it?

    I've been really wanting a Roborock for a while but I saw that changes starting on I think their S6 model made rooting it much more difficult and required a pretty extensive disassembly process.

    I'm pretty comfortable with electronics teardowns but the thought of having to fully disassemble my brand new device to root it made me decide to wait a little and see how things shake out. I haven't looked into it seriously for maybe a year or so though so I don't know what has changed.

  • When I got my first robot vacuum I was too impatient to wait for the battery to fully charge before trying it out so when I started it up it was only able to clean a small area before it had to go back to charge. Very exciting though!

    Anyway I went to bed not realizing that once it was fully charged it would resume cleaning. So approximately 1am the vacuum wakes back up and starts cleaning. In my sleep-addled delirious state I had absolutely no idea what the fuck was going on. Suddenly it sounded like there was a jet engine in my room and I couldn't even tell where it was coming from until I jumped out of bed and there were red lights coming at me.

    Saw my life flash before my eyes. Little fucker might as well have been a terminator.

  • Important to note here that the he has not been charged with a crime.

    If a legal resident commits a crime there is a process to detain, try, sentence, and (potentially) deport them. It happens all the time. But that is not what is happening here. They arrested and detained an American without due process.

  • Android Self hosting

  • I'm assuming your phone has to be rooted for this right? Or is docker running without root? I didn't realize anything like this was possible. This is interesting.

  • I don't know the details but I've had to ban her account several times (from a number of different source instances) for sending everyone the exact same unsolicited private message.

    I never bothered to figure out of if it's actually malicious or just some nonce trying to drive up engagement. Either way it's a weird quirk of Lemmy right now that she'll eventually DM you...

  • What host names do you use?

    Jump

  • This is basically how I do it too.

    I used to be more creative but then I got in the habit of running more servers and swapping hardware more frequently so it got harder to remember what hardware I was actually connecting to. Now they get hardware based names and everything else is named by service-based Ansible roles.

  • What car stickers say about you

    Jump

  • I go "Gray Man Theory" with my car and try to blend in as much as absolutely possible. I drive a popular reliable car in a popular color with a standard license plate and no stickers. I figure there is no reason to stand out and cars are some of the easiest ways to waste a ton of money.

    I've genuinely considered putting a 'Thin Blue Line' flag or MAGA sticker on it just because it'd make cops in the area think of me as a friendly but I don't think I could live with myself.

  • My mouse recently developed an issue that had me looking at potential replacements and again almost nothing currently available matches it or was even close.

    I used the exact same Logitech MX518 mouse from ~2009 until ~2020. Then I went through one every 9 months or so until they succumbed to same problems with the scrollwheel failing until I finally had to stop buying their crap.

  • Firefox now has Terms of Use! This'll go over like a lead balloon

  • It's frustrating that the last bastion of hope against total Google dominance of the browser market has no sense of direction at all and is constantly tripping over rakes.

  • Not trying to change your mind on giving money to internet grifters but having a cell phone is pretty much a basic tool of survival these days even if you're destitute. Phones more than a couple years old are basically e-waste and cost nothing or are donated/trashed all the time. Even a WiFi only phone can be the best tool someone has to find shelter, food and get important weather updates.

  • I decided to go ahead and install KOReader and check it out. It's pretty neat although I can't find what you're describing in the settings.

    In any case I was hoping to find a way to do this without having to switch to a separate user interface.
