Hi, In early 2000 , my dad, my brothers and I used to play the shit out of this game called Chicken Invaders.

It's basically shooting chickens invading the universe or something.

We only had 1 PC at home and we used to play in turns.

I stumbled upon it somehow yesterday and couldn't stop playing.

May be it's just nostalgic value, but it was fun!

Sharing a link to the official game (it's free) Website: https://www.interactionstudios.com/chickeninvaders.php

Hope someone else reconnects with their childhood, like I did .

Cheers!

Hello Lemmings, Hope you guys are doing well.

Objective: Open the door automatically through HomeAssistant

My Plan:

1. Use an ESP32 and flash ESPhome. Wire up Servo Motor (SG90) with ESP32. Tie a thread on between the Servo Motor Arm and the physical latch (physical latch that I can pull to unlock the door) such that when the servo motor turns from -100 to +100, the latch is being pulled to cause the door to be unlocked.

2. I am planning to power this using AA Cells + DC DC Boost convertor.

Issue:

1. How do I mount the Servo Motor on the door?
2. Is there any other (read better) way to achieve the same result?
3. Would you recommend any power source other than AA Cells?

Image for reference:

The latch has a keychain-like loop where the thread is tied. To unlock the door manually, I pull the latch towards right (---->) . This action is planned to be automated by Servo Motor.

Hi guys, A very happy new year!!

After celebrating New year's Eve, I just logged in on PS5 to play Detroit become human.

The robot on the home screen wished me and my family a very happy new year!

This was so sweet. I feel so warm and love the game even more now!

Hi, There are so many Spider Man games, I am not sure which ones to play?

I am downloading Miles Morales for now. This is like a 7 to 8 hours game as per Howlongtobeat.

Any other spider man game could you recommend to take up after this one?

Hi Guys, I have been enjoying this game but just want to know how many hours more to complete so I can budget for new games (time wise)

I am currently at Boklad trying to cross the border where goetz lost his Traders Pass.

It shows 64% complete with 24hours played so far.

How long do you reckon it will take me to complete the story now?

Hi all!

I have 2 ISPs with their own routers.

Router A: 192.168.0.1/24

Router B: 192.168.20.1/24

I have my servers plugged into Router A and all my endpoint and users' devices connected to Router B.

I want users connected to Router B (192.168.20.1/24) to have access to server 192.168.0.90

I thought plugging a LAN cable and connecting Router A and Router B and then defining static routes in both routers would solve the issue.

However, at the first step itself I have an issue. When connecting the routers via a LAN cable, both routers dont get any IP.

I was also referring to this post on superuser. Though Router B is capable of creating subnet and static route, I am not sure if Router A (Archer XR500v) is capable of creating a subnet and/or a static route.

Hello again, After getting Gaggia Classic Pro Evo in August 2023, I have been using pre ground coffee from my local coffee shop.

I am planning to get Baratza Encore ESP to pair with my GCP since the grinder is currently on sale for like 10% off on Retail price.

Wanted to know if Encore ESP would be a good choice?

Hi everyone, I picked up FFXVI back again after a month or so. I have completely forgotten the story line... I am at that chapter where (spoiler)

Can you tell me what's up so far?

And what is blight?

Should I just replay the whole game till this point ? (It shows 7 hours played so far)

Hi, I am planning to buy the 2013 release of the original Final Fantasy VII for PC on Steam. It's like 5$.

Just wanted to know your thoughts if it will be fun to play?

I just completed FFVII Remake on PS5.

Hi, I am automating my manual switches at home with ESPHome on NodeMCU. For controlling the switches, I am using 8 channel relay module.

The back of the board has solder-points sticking out. I will be installing this relay module inside the switchboard. So I want to put it in some kind of enclosure.

Just wanted to know your thoughts on enclosure. Should I just wrap the whole thing in electrical tape? Or a plastic box maybe?

Hi, I have recently got a Gaggia Classic Pro. So I am quite new to espresso. After I pull my espresso shot, the grounded coffee puck has imprints of shower screen (photo attached)

Is this normal? If not, how do I solve this?

I am filling it up with 18 grams of pre ground coffee (commercial espresso fine grind) in a pressurized basked.
