Yup, too cold temp does that, and repeats the last token/word ad infinitum

I use a DAV integration to show a bunch of shared calendars and task lists (nextcloud, but I guess you can find a Google alternative if needed)

Events: stuff like doctors appointments, bdays, etc.

Maintenance: stuff to do/fix. Some are recurring events (like cleaning faucet aerators, aircon filters, etc)

Shopping: separate from HAs shopping list, this one is for stuff that might be handy to get, but not a priority (not groceries, but stuff like idk a new potato peeler)

On my main dashboard I have atomic calendar revive card from HACS with "upcoming events" as the default view

Edit: instead of making a snarky comment, I should probably do the right thing for fellow lemmings and explain:

I'm fucking old and I've seen this before. It's the same model as it was with TV and Cable. Air tv becomes so ad ridden than when Cable comes "ad free" we all start paying and switch over. A decade later the "base" cable TV plan is so ad ridden that they come up with "premium channels", so you sign up for that so you can watch a movie without 10 minute ad break in the middle or 4 minute ad breaks on series. Then channels start splitting into "base" and "premium" versions (e.g. Discovery or History). Base channel is now just RealityTV garbage.

I got fed up and started following creators on Google Video (then YouTube), Vimeo, listening to stuff on ShoutCast (that was winamp's podcast/radio thing). Then Netflix comes out, decent service. Every other media company wants a piece of the pie. Slowly but surely every decent movie/series on Netflix gets moved to their respective production company's service: disney, HBO, Paramount+... Netflix starts toying with ads, now disney...

Slowly YT starts adding ads on the sidebar, then in the lower third, then pre-rolls. Now there's "premium bitrate" behind a paywall. At some point I said "fuck it I'm not playing ball anymore". Why pay premium? it'll be the same as it's always been. Soon enough "premium" yt will be the only way to watch over 360p quality, they'll lower a bit the cost of YT Premium, ppl will jump in and down the road they'll add ads back.

I'd rather donate a buck to my favorite creators, it'll be 100x more income that whatever they'd get off my views.

Luckily there are a lot of nice EVs from better brands!

The concept is still terrifying, though the article has a BS pic. Here are the real things, they're basically knock-off BD Spot dogs... With guns

Lmao then they bitch and moan when people abroad start cutting back on us-based tech and enforcing open standards

With Norris' passing, does the dev intend to make it a RESTful API?

Fitting read for the throne, thanks

Check the global total deployments, US is not the only place in the world with smartphones.

 

I was excited to see the UT games on FlatHub, but they require the base installs. Why did they delist all Unreal games everywhere (but GoG)? Why not give them away and just let the players host the servers?

E: Yes, it's an AI made image, if Epic won't put the minimal effort to preserve their games, why should I for a disposable meme?

 

I'm looking for a media player/OS for an ARM SBC that can stream from my navidrome (subsonic compatible) music server, and be controlled via either a web GUI or an android app. I'd love to hear what you guys came up with!

Currently really happy with my setup, I'm using Navidrome as my music server, along with Ultrasonic as my phone client.

I've set up a (dumb/analog) speaker system on my workshop, and I'd like to be able to listen to music there, but I don't want to add a whole setup (be it an old laptop, or add kb/mouse, monitor and such) and my phone no loner has a 3.5mm jack.

I have a Raspberry Pi 3, an OrangePi Zero, and an OrangePi PC+. I'd rather use the zero or the PC+ since they're kinda unstable/wonky and I don't trust them anymore for stuff I want to keep running 24/7 (like pihole).

I'm open to testing other music servers (volumio maybe?) on my main homelab if that means having the ability to change the client/sink from the app/gui (something like what Spotify does, where you can pick from any client to stream to other clients/speakers)
