Fixed or not this is good to know. I use a separate device for RAID storage and I think I'll keep it that way. Sorry you had to deal with that. I know if my main storage got wiped by windows installer my reaction would probably make national news.

Will proceed with caution and saved drive images!

To be fair It has its uses i suppose. I've had one running pihole since the original pi came out. Used PI2s in the past for OSMC and, even better, ambilight.

I think now a cheap android TV box you can flash is probably better for a simple less than 5watt device.

Besides the HA test I've been trying to use one to be an openvpn TAP interface but it's been a fight and i think you just convinced me to do it in another docker instance on the server and save myself some headaches.

That is a lot of usefull information. I'm no fan of digital EQs whatsoever but I do use wavelet with the IEMs. Works great plugged in but knowing my next phone probably won't have a headphone connection I got a fiio BT amp and it just creates distortion with the EQ. Not sure who's to blame for that.

Hopefully the M4s behave better (yeah I'm sold). Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience, it's been very helpful!

I don't know how to add a pic here which is too bad as he was a super cute kitten. He turned into an ugly cat but I don't hold it against him.

Attempt:

Sorry, still learning this platform.

Whoa.. this really happens? If so that's disgusting and doesn't seem legal. I was about to setup a dual boot for my laptop which has proprietary windows only software I need for work but now I guess i need to research a bit.

Been loving this app since the preview.

Reddit became a different site for me when I used baconit and w10m. Once i went to android there were a number of apps to try but i settled on boost.

After api changes I couldn't bring myself to install their app and i did miss it. l used liftoff here for a bit but this has been so much more functional. Truly a great job by the dev and worth the wait. The paid version seems like a steal given you can't get a good chicken sandwich anywhere near that.

I'll probably gift a few copies to friends and family just so i don't feel guilty.

Lord i sound like a paid amazon review. I'm as cycnal as they come though and not easily won over for what it's worth.

Stuck.. who would want us? Every country I'd like to live in would require me to be very rich or have a usable skill set. While I have the latter it also needs to be provable which is difficult.

I should have bolted when I was younger but i just didn't have the knowledge.

I didn't mean to imply it wasn't possible. I have a relative that works for ITER. And similarly it's possible but not in my lifetime i imagine.

It might seem silly to relate the 2 but it's just a feeling.. major applicable innovation seems lacking.

Also waiting on sodium-ion or glass batteries as well.

Thanks, you made me feel better! And it's nice to know some cats enjoy belly rubs and won't tear you apart for it.

I worked with big cats for a bit so maybe I'm just cautious but I've spilled blood too many times for touching the belly. Only rescue I took in that was a skeleton yet somehow pregnant likes it. I gave her kittens good homes after they were old enough to be fixed and in one case a 18hrr drive.

As much as the last rescue would like to come in he stays outside but has the garage. It's on purpose because I'm a sucker and can't save them all and he defends the territory. He vanished for 6 weeks and showed back up with a clipped ear and no "package". City thing I guess but 6 weeks? I wish i could hear that story. Sorry for the unrequested story but he deserves to be logged in internet history. His name is Vibe.

I'll get a lot of hate for this but when you say pi you mean pi4. I kept seeing this HA on lemmy and tried it on a pi2. I don't know if it worked or not, it's a very bloated piece of software. After an hour of waiting I installed docker and the HA instance on my main server (which is ancient) in under a minute.

It's cool and all but my feit dimmers require some pcb work and flashing to be compatible so verify what devices you have before you hop in.

I used to have an automated building running on a bare 386 and a floppy drive. Hate on me all you want but sending simple commands like turn device on shouldn't require a giant software package but otherwise HA is neat, just a lot of overhead i can't exactly justify.

Worth trying out though.

I think reflow stole a lot of their code.

That would be amazing.. imagine face planting from a stupid stunt and being like no biggie they'll grow back. Works for kids and we already know from admittedly gross tumors the human body can grow hair and teeth. Just have to get them in the right place.

Also agree with the other comment to your post.. crispr will likely be for the rich. Hell, it probably already is. A cynical view but i don't sit at that table so who knows.

Thank you for confirming I'm not crazy. At least in that aspect. And also, as someone who has spent an insane amount of hours in that chair thank you for being a DA and dealing with us.
