“Texas Data Privacy and Security Act”… This is a thing? lol

For those of us not using Wayland, any idea if this still applies? Waiting on my flatpak version to support audio sharing with screen share… And please performance improvements.

Haha, 1 year ago… Cannot remember, but I’m positive it was some failed autocorrect. Unfortunately I can’t figure out what was autocorrected. I’d just ignore “dusky” in that sentence. I don’t even know what word means lol

Hmm I’ll have to check this later as I don’t remember ever running into that problem since my Xbox internal has been full for a while. But I also wonder if that applies to physical copies or not since all my series x games are physical. Unless Xbox does this automatically in the background without user intervention, then I may have not noticed

And don’t forget the awesome @export_subgroup("text") on top of that!

Weird, I have a regular old 2TB (or maybe it was 1?) western digital plugged into the USB on the back of my series x and it works fine, not sure I understand the need to spend a bunch on something like this. Edit: and before responding about speed… I haven’t noticed much, if any, difference in game performance from installing on the drive or external outside of the initial game loading (startup) time, so not sure if that’s the only benefit to using the expansion slot.

I tend to us the backslash syntax for longer if statements. One thing I do differently than documention mentions though is double tab the following lines in my if statements. Keeps it easier to read where it ends and where the actual code block begins.

Ahhh dang didn’t know this, thank you for sharing! I never touched steamos so was definitely curious.

Oooo… Will this mean my current legion go would have full steamos support? Not many issues with bazzite, but wouldn’t mind trying steamos to see if it gives me a little more freedom to customizations.

Bazzite is a little picky on personal software installs, configurations, or manual builds (not impossible to get around, but slightly annoying when their package store is missing something I want)

Raid 1 has saved my server a couple of times over from disaster. I make weekly cold backups, but I didn’t have to worry about it when my alert came in notifying me which drive went dead - just swap, rebuild, move along. So yeah I’d say it’s definitely worth it. Just don’t treat raid as a backup solution - and yes, continue to use an external cold storage backup solution as you mentioned. Fires, exploding power supplies, ransomware, etc don’t care if you’re using raid or not.

The langolier has caught much attention. Please share its purpose…

I bought “Inside”. Was told it was basically predecessor to Little Nightmares and I’m really loving it so far

Actually, there are some apps and even phone level things that do try to call to custom DNS, ignoring all the phone settings, including those defined in the global settings. Termux nslookup is one I can think of at the top of my head that ignores the phone’s settings and instead tries to call to Google DNS. I’ve got DNS default blocked in a custom script for AFWall on my phone, excluding calling my custom DNS, and see the block frequently hit. Just now checking, I see 54 blocks on 8.8.8.8:53, 2 blocks on 1.1.1.1:53, and 16 on “other” port 53 (catch all block).

Think the best solution is either a router firewall setup if always on the wifi, or a phone firewall app that can act as a VPN and just default block everything, or something like that. If rooted, AFWall does wonders.

Edit: now I feel very silly. I thought I was looking at space engineers lmao

Post the mods you’re using too please, that’s a mighty fine looking water mod

I’ve been using the fdroid syncthing-fork version for a long time now and haven’t had any issues at all… Doesn’t mean it’ll last forever but it’s been getting the job done for me even in its current state.

… And can’t remember my original reason to use the fork instead lol

Huh, I’m pretty sure neowise had a lower magnitude. I was in a city at the time and could see it through the light pollution at night with the naked eye. This one disappears quickly in the dark after the sunset goes towards astronomical dusk… And the moon light is also making it impossible to see. Maybe looks brighter at sunset in specific parts of the world, but at least my experience in its glory was nothing like Neowise.

Also earthsky claims magnitude -5 to -7. I don’t believe that. For context, the magnitude of Venus is about -4 and that planet outshined the comet greatly.

I’m going to take a wild guess here, but if you look at your first frame and last frame, does the comet appear to have moved backwards? I’m wondering if the strange plasma you see in the front is just an artifact of the stacked results. Stacking comets can be a bit tricky due to their movement.

That being said, absolutely amazing shot!

Hmm that’s actually something I hadn’t thought about, but yeah it probably wouldn’t work for an offline mode… If the app is already open, maybe it would work, but I’m not 100% sure. In general, it does require internet to connect to your home assistant (my phone is setup with wireguard to VPN into mind so it’s not internet facing). So yeah unless it can be used during those random connection drops, maybe not a perfect option :(

My family uses a custom Todo list on home assistant. I’ve got a separate dashboard of items we can just click to add to the grocery list, and then when shopping, checking them will move them out of the way. Very convenient, quick, and shared. So if you use HA, it might be good option, especially since you’re wanting something simpler (I was in the same boat)

Interesting, I didn’t have this experience a couple of years ago. I wonder if they’ve just upped it to try and “automate” things more with the crazy amount of tourism they’re suddenly getting. Also I’d be curious on which airport you went to, Haneda or Narita?

If the scans and such were in the states, I’ve requested opting out and no one really cared, they just said okay. Funny enough, it actually made me go through quicker than it was taking everyone who did the face scans, contradicting the sign claiming it’s quicker.
