  • I run mine in a VM but have USB passthrough for the Zwave and zigbee sticks. I didn't know there were POE coordinators. Do you have any you recommend? I use both zwave and zigbee

  • Yeah, I noticed that recentjy. I had lost track when it was an initial PR. Was a nice surprise

  • Everything you mention is great. However I think everyone needs GadgetBridge in their lives. Especially with the "internet helper" they're working on to allow opt-in ability to share with internet things (like they're working on supporting Endurain)

  • Did you mean "just do it" and autocorrect got you? Based on the rest of the text, that is what I figure.

  • I really wish there was a good remote desktop method that supported attaching to my "local" session but keeping the displays locked. Similar to how windows RDP works.

    If I have to remote into my work machine from home, I have XRDP setup to make a separate session that I can have run simultaneously to my local session. It's fine, but if I could use the existing local session that would be superb (without unlocking my local displays while I'm not there is the big point)

    GNOME has RDP/VNC abilities, but in my experience a) the screen has to be awake, or else it becomes none responsive, b) it only worked with one monitor IIRC, and c) it unlocks the local display. x11vnc has issue C.

    I think KDE is working on improved Wayland RDP? Haven't seen if it satisfies this. Sadly though, my work IT doesn't support Wayland

  • Knobbier tires help. I ride a hybrid bike year round (its my only bike) that has 35mm tires. Last winter was my first winter riding. At first I used the older slicker tires I had, and then ate it at one point taking a turn through some slush. That weekend I bought some knobbier all season tires. They've been fantastic.

    They also make studded tires that have metal/ceramic studs throughout the tires to grip on ice. From what I've heard, they're not ideal unless you're constantly riding on solid sheets of ice. Since riding on pavement will wear them down. And you cannot wheel your bike inside with them since it'll destroy interior flooring

  • Is there a secure video chat that does not require a phone number?

  • Good to know. Thanks for the info. I haven't jumped yet, since wanna do research. But I agree that that is a yellow flag.

  • It's an amazing series. I highly recommend it. I like the third one the best.

  • I'm on the second Expanse book and I am fucking loving it. I absolutely love hard Sci-Fi. I think The Expanse is taking the cake for my favorite Sci-Fi book series. Before this is was The Three Body Problem series. I specifically love Death's End

  • Please be kind to retail workers this Xmas

  • And just to retail workers

    Same goes for restaurant workers. We were at one of our favorite nice restaurants, sitting at the bar. It was busy, so it was slow. That makes sense. It's 1830 on a Friday. No big deal, we were sitting at the bar, they're busy. There was this older couple (50-60?) Who were just bitching. Complaining that things were taking longer than they felt they should. Some gems.

    • "These steamed buns were terrible", meanwhile their plates were scraped clean.
    • "This bottle of prosecco isn't good. I'm not paying for it...." While they were 3/4 through it. Then they finished the bottle.

    The husband berrated the bartender who (one of three or four) who was busy all night. We've had her and she's lovely. Berated her for service taking too long, and apparently how she had left for a while, and how that was unacceptable. I'm guessing she left to, ya know, eat dinner and take her break.

    They were complaining about how bad of an experience it was. But stuck around for 20m after they paid the check...

    After they left, another group took their spots, and we overheard them shit talking them multiple times. The bartender looked visibly upset while she was working. Eventually Audrey told her that it was shitty how he treated her. Turns out she was thinking about it all night after (this was 1.5 hours later). We assured her they were just shitty and that we've had an amazing time everytime we've been there.
