Vladimir Putin Proposes Peace. NATO Declines! [02:15 | Jun 15 24 | RBN]
    1. Victim: Punched in the face, and has wallet stolen.
    2. Perpetrator: "Quit fighting back, and you can keep your I.D."
    3. Victim: Fights back.
    4. You: "This proves the perpetrator's intentions are pure, the victim should be happy to be able to keep his ID."

    Shill. "No wAR bUT cLaSs WaR". Jesus man, look at your post history. Ramping up the psy-ops, I see. Blocked, and I hope others have the good sense to do the same.

    There's a crystal clear right way to go world wide to reduce the suffering from war, and it sure as shit isn't voting for fascists, or tossing it away on Jill freaking Stein or idealists with no conceivable chance in hell of enacting your perfect policies.

    If I've made a mistake and you genuinely believe the trash you're pushing, then take a tiny dose of reality, pull your head out of your ass, and realize you're doing more harm than good.

  • Venus by Tuesday
  • You're getting downvoted to oblivion, but I do see and agree with your point: "Branding matters"

    A significant portion of the population will not rub two brain cells together to understand the "warming -> change" connection, as reasonable as it is. Same thing with the "defund the police" slogan. Yes, when you understand the concept you can see the meaning, but for those that don't bother to understand the concept, the "brand name" is the beginning and the end of thought applied. When the "brand name" is easily attackable, the idea is dead so far as they're concerned.

    As frustrating as it is, persuasive arguments need to also appeal to those who are persuaded by quips and jokes as well as those who are persuaded by logic and reason. Unfortunately "Global Warming", the "old brand" is still sticking around, and still able to be joked away by many people, hence the reason for the image post in the first place.

  • Nvidia Shield owners, how have you configured your device?
  • Once they rolled out ads on the home page (Shame. Shame. Shame.), I installed "Launcher manager" and "Wolf launcher" to give it an interface I really like. A big background picture, some large buttons for the commonly used apps, and then progressively smaller buttons as you scroll down the screen for the less commonly used features.

    It broke once when an update rolled out, but since then has been running fine and I never once see the bloated monstrosity that is the default home screen.

    The only qualm with my setup I have is that access to the configuration sidebar isn't as intuitive as it was with the pre 9.0 version (which frankly I don't remember anymore aside from the general impression). That's a very minor price to pay to have an interface without ads.

  • Failing to control dashboard with command_webview
  • Thanks for the response, that confirms my assumption, seems like I was configuring it right, but the behavior is not as expected.

    • If HA is active/onscreen already, the command will do nothing.
    • If HA is idle/offscreen, the command will bring HA to the forefront, but not change pages. (This is the state it is in after the "turn_off" sends the launcher intent.)
    • If HA is off, the command will launch HA, and navgate to the correct page.

    Is this all that is to be expected? or should I be able to get to the desired dashboard, from any previous screen or application state?

  • Failing to control dashboard with command_webview

    Hi All! I'm very new to home assistant, so forgive me if this is a bit of an obvious answer for someone who knows their way around a bit, but I'm having trouble controlling my tablet's active dashboard with the "command_webview" notification command.

    For reference, I'm using "madface"'s suggestion from this link to handle the screen on/off behavior, and its working great, except for the fact that no matter what I use for the "command_webview" nested command: "/lovelace-flur" in the linked example, I cannot get the companion app to switch to any dashboard other than the default/main dashboard.

    I've traced the issue to here, which implies a resolution can be found in the definition of "path", (linked from the documentation for command_webview), but the link is dead as a doornail.

    My assumption is that the "path" corresponds to "https://homeassistant.<mydomain>.com/<path>", but that doesn't seem to do the trick, and I'm at a loss for other things to try in the absense of a working "path" documentation link.

    Hopefully someone here might be able to point me in the right direction? Any help is much appreciated!

    A basic mead primer
  • I know! So cool! I really need to do side by sides with varying degrees of investment. I struggle with remembering the results of my work with enough specificity to compare from batch to batch, so it's hard for me to tell how much is justified or not!

    Sorry to hear about life, I hope you find the time/relief necessary to keep on brewing!

  • Student Loan Forgiveness: Supreme Court Rejects Biden’s Debt Forgiveness Plan
  • Summary of the opinion: Nobody here has standing, but... Missouri maybe?, Cause the corporation the state created won't be able to take in all those fees. Also, congress only allowed completely trashing rules, or slightly tweaking them, this is more "in-between" and we don't like that. Oh, and the replacement rules only have a requirement to be published, theres no authority to actually write them. This is a new rule, so it's not allowed. Furthermore, the action taken was too big, unprecedented, we don't like that.

    Summary of the dissent: Nobody here has standing. PERIOD. That corporation could bring it to us, and is explicitly permitted to act as an independent financial and legal entity, so they can bring it theirselves. IF they brought it themselves, congress clearly delegated authority to "waive or modify" provisions, and provide substitute rules appropriate to the situation, after they had passed it explicitly for the gulf war, then explicitly for 9/11, and then opened the doors wide open to any national emergency because they have more important things to deal with during emergencies than student loan policy. The scale of the action matches theS scale of the emergency, and is actually smaller than the previous action (loan pause) that the previous administration instituted. So in other words, loan relief like this may have been a shit idea, may have been a great idea, but it is exactly what the law allows and the court has no business deciding otherwise. It's not our fucking job to write policy.

    You can probably pretty obviously tell which opinion I agree with more... This court is trash, gymnastics required to justify most of their decisions. Expand the court so the scales of power don't fucking seesaw from regular jurisprudence to batshit insanity upon the death of a single robe-clad geriatric. 😫

  • Layer shift sanity check
  • Winner winner chicken dinner! This is EXACTLY what happened. I reprinted again after tightening belts, fixing bed wobble, and re-leveling, and kept a closer eye on it this time. The nozzle was indeed catching on that "Y" support due to the edge curling up. Wasnt enough to kill the print this time, but enough to make me nervous...

    Ironically, the thing I'm printing is an all-in-one case so that I can segregate the PSU, main board, pi, and controls from the printer itself to enclose it and have better temp control!

  • A basic mead primer
  • After a college mead making experience that turned out terrible, I recently had a go at making T'ej . I haven't the slightest clue if a regular mead drinker would say it tastes perfect, tastes like ass, or is somewhere in between, but I enjoy it!

    I didn't rack it, just went from the main fermentation carboy to bottles after letting it crash by pouring and stopping before too much sediment came out. I haven't back-sweetened it but it's still somewhat sweet and feels a hair like champagne, so I'm a bit afraid it's going to slowly keep on fermenting in the fridge and carbonate a bit, but I'll burp the bottles every once in a while so I can keep an eye on it.

    Moral of the rambling story: I'm usually the kind of person that goes all out trying to do something the "right way", and this looks like an excellent guide/summary of how to do that, but my laziness often wins out. In this case at least, I've found success doing the bare minimum. I am a bit curious to see how different it would taste following a more rigorous recipe :-)

    Thanks for the post! I'll probably reference this when my current supply runs out or explodes in the fridge!

  • Layer shift sanity check
  • Thanks for the tips, and the clarification that spool catching can't cause this sort of issue with a Bowden setup, I missed that nugget of info! I posted in other comments, but I think it was definitely a catch and loose belt. Surprised that the loose belt didn't cause problems throughout the print, but maybe I've just been getting lucky all this time!

    I'm willing to reprint the entire thing for sexy smooth lines. My manual handicraft of sanding, gluing, painting, etc always leaves me disappointed in the final result 😂

    Again, thanks for the help, much appreciated!

  • Layer shift sanity check
  • I don't seem to be able to really fix that gap, at least not to the degree that the clamp is perfectly flush. I think it was exaggerated a bit by a somewhat loose belt. I thought a loose belt would exhibit problems throughout the print, and honed in on the spool issue without realizing it was describing direct drive behavior.

    I've got the belt tightened a bit more, and fixed a little bit of wobble in the bed. We'll see if that's enough...

    Thanks for the sleuthing and willingness to help!

  • Layer shift sanity check

    Curious if I can get a sanity check off my problem diagnosis (or alternate theories!)

    I tried a long print today and wound up with a 1/2 inch layer shift on the x-axis near the end of a long print, taller than most I've done, not certainly not the tallest.

    It occured on a spool I just opened a few days ago and printed two other ~250g pieces with. I'm very certain that I never lost control of the filament end. My spool in mounted using the stock ender 3 mount on the left side is the gantry and a filament guide arm.

    After reading a bit, I'm thinking this was due to the filament on the spool loosening up from a large travel and then binding on itself. Seems the easiest way to fix this might just be to put more space between the spool and the printer so the slack can absorb the shifting without pushing back on the spool and loosening several turns off filament.

    I don't think it's heat or any general axis binding as the shift only happened at a single layer, at a hight that I've been able to print through before, and the motion generally appears smooth when I exercise it.

    So... Experimentation will probably prove me right or wrong, but before I sink another day of print time... Does that sound reasonable or am I missing a common problem?

    Edit: Solved, see comment by @[email protected] for the actual problem. Many thanks to all who provided their thoughts!

    Considering Prusa Mini as First Printer
  • Thanks for the insightful comment! I wasn't aware of any big change in quality from Creatality, or those pretty shady review practices. I got my printer right near the start of the pandemic (May 2020), so maybe I got lucky with timing before everything went to shit :-/

    If they're junk these days, that's genuinely pretty sad. Always a shame when the a product gets worse due to the manufacturer cutting quality.

  • At what point do you let go of hardware after upgrading?
  • Yeah, I think I need to move that way. If it doesn't fit in the unRAID box or the main PC. It needs to go. Whether that's donation, selling, recycling or trash, I should just quit hoarding the parts. I'm one of those folks that saves the best weapons till the end of the game "in case I need them", picks the neutral path instead of the dark/light path cause I don't want to cut off my options, and would rather organize my 50 spare USB cables by size/type/length than throw them away. 🤣 It's a thought process that pervades more than just spare PC parts after upgrade lol. Habit breaking is definitely the name of the game!

  • At what point do you let go of hardware after upgrading?

    I've got a problem. I'm a technology hoarder. I still have the first PC I bought myself some 15 years ago cause "I might use it for something!"

    My desktop after that one is an unRAID box. The one after that is my "lab" PC (3d printing, embedded projects etc) and then finally, my current generation main PC.

    I want to upgrade my main PC soon (can't run new games, CPU and GPU limited), which means potentially kicking everything else "down the chain" to a new purpose as it gets a slightly better version of itself. I find the thought of this exhausting though. So much configuration/setup to give upgrades to things whose existence is only because I didn't want to part with functioning hardware.

    My current thought is to "break the cycle" by condensing all non-primary functions to my current PC, as an unRAID box hosting everything other than main gaming PC. From there, the rule needs to be tech goes into one of those two boxes, or it gets sold/donated.

    What do you all think. Is that reasonable? How do you manage your spare equipment post upgrade?

    Personal data... historian?

    Hi all (First Lemmy post, yay!)

    Does anyone have recommendations for a way to capture, archive and visualize arbitrary data in one convenient location. I'm talking about arbitrary/misc. stuff like electricity usage, gas usage, body weight, spending, mileage, habit tracking etc... Essentially looking for a super solution that can be easily interfaced with, has convenient methods of browsing, filtering, and visualizing, and can (obviously, based on post location) be self hosted.

    I currently use mint, beestat, Google Fit, Samsung Health and probably a few others as my trackers/monitors of my personal and home data, but I've always been curious about finding a solution where I have complete control over my personal data once it's captured by the various sources, assuming I can get my hands on it via exporting manually or otherwise.

    For background, My experience level is pretty minimal. I have unRAID running on an old desktop PC, hosting a file share and gitlab container. I can scrape python programs together easy enough, but databases and web tech will take some learning.

    I'm interested in ways any of you intelligent folks may have figured out how to manage your personal data! Thanks in advance for sharing!
