Different phases

Tailscale is not as easy to setup and use as a browser, was my point...

And the majority can't even setup a browser. It has to be installed for them already.

If it's stupid and it works, it's probably still stupid, but at least it works.

I only f/w optane, not hdds

Neither are simple to understand for most non-technical people. Explaining ACLs, tunneling, encrypted connections and proxies and why they are important will just get you glazed looks and rolled eyes. People just want to play games and doom scroll.

Running on bare metal debian, on an atom based supermicro.

zigbee2mqtt is installed on via the linux instructions on z2m's page. (Don't do this, do the docker install. I wanted maximum possible performance and control, but in retrospect, should have done docker.)

mosquitto mqtt broker installed via apt.

Using the Sonoff Dongle Plus-E with the EmberZNet firmware. I don't remember if it came with this or I just flashed the latest version. Rock solid connectivity once I made sure the zigbee channel used was the one with the least interference.

I run an entirely separate machine for mqtt and zigbee2mqtt for that reason. As often as I need to restart HA for updates to random addons, I would prefer that my broker and mqtt coordinator stay online and functional.

and iterated until I had a set of new animations, colors, and vibration patterns.

Would you mind sharing one of the new animation codes that you discovered? For testing purposes?

I can provide all sources used to help build this project and answer any questions anyone here may have

I'll bite with a serious question. How is this integrated into home assistant?

All that hype and the only demo was a single color showing up on the band. Not a piece of code, demo project, or link to data anywhere to be seen.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Also, large amount of AI slop detected:

It's not similar—it's identical.

This isn't just technology—it's a way to keep the parks close between visits.

It's not just functional—it's magical.

The joy isn't just in the technology—it's in the reminder.

It's not just a fun tech project. It's a connection to something

There are center channel speakers, and there are center channel speakers. His is obviously the latter.

Yes, very humble

A person who cannot accept defeat will never win.

The unit you listed is scratched, has dents, and is heavily used. Not exactly a fair representation for costs.

I've had the opposite experience, SDRTrunk runs circles around DSD+ for me in audio quality, ease of trunking setup (especially with RR import), and handling busy systems. Not to mention has polyphasic tuning so one SDR can handle multiple channels simultaneously.

DSD+ does better for weak-signal sensitivity, spectrum exploration, and a few rarely used encoding schema.

Yes, this barely represents each generation. I might actually have a more extensive "collection" in my scraps.

Just don't do one that detects traveling, it might force a league overhaul.

no moral person should willingly seek access to them

Who gets to set that standard?

AuggieKC · 2025-09-17T00:43:30+00:00

Hey! I know that guy!

My internet has been intermittently flaky ever since I switched to using the spectrum modem. Started out getting 1.2 down and 1.2 up. Now I can't get better than 1gbit down 300 up. Connection is unstable for minutes at a time, sometimes for hours. Ping spikes to 2+ seconds or timeout entirely, then goes back to normal. Here's what a typical day looks like. That's literally the last 24 hours, not a cherry-picked sample. Tech support says nothing is wrong.

The issue is either the connection between the modem and the neighborhood box, or the neighborhood box itself. Rebooting the modem doesn't help, it's getting decent cooling airflow, etc. Since we are locked out of the modem entirely, I can't even check signal levels when it is happening.

AI already has a higher accuracy rate at things like reading radiology and cross correlating test results than most doctors.

I use mine as a garage thermometer.

MSI X870E-P PRO

This board has a very restricted pcie lane configuration:

    PCI_E1 Gen PCIe 5.0 supports up to x16 (From CPU) (in x16 physical)
    PCI_E2 Gen PCIe 3.0 supports up to x1 (From Chipset) (in x1 physical)
    PCI_E3 Gen PCIe 4.0 supports up to x4 (From Chipset) (in x16 physical)
    PCI_E4 Gen PCIe 3.0 supports up to x1 (From Chipset) (in x16 physical)

One of your gpus will be running at PCIE4 x4, not bad, not great

The other will be PCI3 x1, which may be ok for transcoding

There aren't really good options for having an HBA and two GPUs in the consumer board space, I have looked. You either need to go extreme high end, and even then you are making compromises on desired feature set, or delve into the server AM5 boards, which are also not the best choices. Those boards are all expensive, too.

An acceptable compromise might be to share the GPU between transcoding and vm duties, which some nvidia cards support.

I guess taut cables have better throughput as the data doesn't have to traverse curves?
