Tech With Jake

Home Assistant doesn’t require to pay for anything at any point in time for any reason. If you want to expose your instance to the web, they have all the documents on how to do it yourself. There’s absolutely nothing “hidden” behind a paywall. The only reason to say is if you want Nabu Casa to handle exposing your instance to the internet and various cloud services like Google Assistant/Alexa. The reason to pay Nabu Casa is if you don’t have the technical know how (or lazy like me) and to help fund Home Assistant (which I want).

That’s all to say that Plex and Home Assistant are not similar in their pay scheme. It’d be more akin if Jellyfin started charging users to allow a one click way to stream outside the home with no obligation to.

Ombi always gave me issues and I switched to Overseerr. Similar but more in the *arr family. Since you use Jellyfin, can use Jellyseerr instead for a better integration.

Then use Prowlarr to sync Torrent/Usenet sites to all the *arr services.

Heroic Games Launcher allows you to install almost any game from GOG, Epic and Amazon and play on Linux just like Steam does. Can even have the games added to be launch from Steam automatically. Great for Steam Deck and desktop.

I want covert a sizable chunk of USD to EUR but I haven’t found a way to do it without a physical bank.

Only option I’ve found so far is buying EURC (crypto, I know, I know but at least it’s pegged to EUR).

Have you tried using Bottles? Has a default Bottle for “games”. Run the .exe file in the Bottle and it should work.

Forjego is looking into it.

This was before the EU forced them to implement RCS.

Thanks for mentioning GalliumOS! I’ll be putting that on my SO’s old Chromebook now.

That’s a good version of it too.

LMAO OK. You got me with that one.

Whenever someone says that, my reply is “So is a fire. Go jump in one and let me know how it feels.” 🤣

It’s brual. If you don’t have AC in your house/mode of transportation, you can literally die of heat stroke in a few hours.

A fire fighter trainee literally died in Tucson recently from heat stroke. It’s bad y’all. Stay away if you can.

Winter is decent though since it’s like 50 - 70 lol

I bought a couple of these for around the house. https://a.co/d/5vjsVs3 Works very well but mostly at night.

Also to make sure you regularly do the dishes, take out trash and clean up any food sources for the flies. After using the above and doing the above, mine went from insanity to maybe 1 or 2 around the house in about a week or two.

Yes. Yes I have. It’s why I state 48kHz or higher due to the halving effect. 44.1kHz will only get you to 22kHz and 18Hz. Not a whole different than what ours can hear. 44.1kHz was the standard for CDs due to size limitations but we’re well beyond that now.

A pure analog recording can be superior to digital recordings. But those are so rare these days, we don’t have a good comparison.

There’s things like “bass bleed” and cross talk that made analog so interesting to listen to.

As long as the original recording is 48kHz or higher, digital recordings are awesome. We might not be able to hear beyond the 20Hz - 20kHz, you can most certainly feel it. Especially in the lower end.

What server are you using for $15/year? That’s amazing.

100% agree. Around for that time too. It’s why I wonder what it could’ve become.

Ain’t nothing wrong with posting mundane pictures. I mean, look at PixelFed. Same shit happening but no horrible ads, no crappy algo, nobody trying to sell you shit. Just people posting pics.

Not to defend Instagram cause fuck Meta. I’m curious how it would’ve turned out if Meta didn’t buy them way back. Same with WhatsApp. Could they have been great apps now a days instead of deserving of our scourn?

Got myself a Logitech G502X and the Powerplay charging mouse pad. Now I can have my wireless mouse charged 24/7 and never have I think about plugging it or docking it.

Heroic Games Launcher is great for GOG. I use it on all 3 to get my games running.
