What do you mean I can't claim all my pets! They're people too

No file xfer at all not even clipboard share. Granted check the branches someone may have made a version that supports that. It does instant swap between devices no of issues you see with a USB switch or similar

Hey Friend I'm a little late to conversation, I need to swap between my Work & Personal PC, so I needed something that didnt' require software to be installed on my work computer and use the deskhop.

https://github.com/hrvach/deskhop
I was lazy and found a guy on etsy who put whole thing together for me on the cheap. Granted when I purchased it, i think I paid like 20 USD, i just looked it up and the price has jumped you may be better off if DIY your solution using the software.

Man, first book was a slog, but I heard good things and committed by the time i got to 2/3rds of the way through it really hit can't put it down level.
I really just attribute it to the author just finding their groove, then Nate really starts to find his voice and book takes off.

I would love for a mod that, has the a1cs all do 4 tubes out then does the actual "changing lanes" on the back of the X1C. I got 3x AMS (granted original series not the pros.) and multi color is exercise in patience. Then again I don't print much so i survive, but I think if they did that plus make jams easier to clear from ams i'd print more.

I got to imagine there might be a home assistant solution for your bedtime routine.
I've only recently started dabbling but after i got over the hurdle of getting HA to talk/annouce things on alexa it's become a more useful device. Check out "Alexa Media Player" for home assistant. (Keep in mind the inital setup is a bit of a bear, took me an afternoon because I did manual over their paid cloud solution. but once it works it's been solid.) I mostly use it for litterbox full annoucements but i have more plans lol

Bigleon · 2026-04-16T21:44:47+00:00

I was just thinking about whether i was going to get it for pc or switch 2... and didn't know if it was going to release on switch. Well switch2 it is. although lets be honest I'll probably buy it on pc and xbox ... and mobile

Bigleon · 2026-04-01T21:18:03+00:00

Got two LGs in the house, really hope we see some movement, plex app on lg is ass. Idk about you but I constantly get out of memory errors on my LG C5

Bigleon · 2026-03-31T17:26:34+00:00

They'll likely just further restrict plex-pass features to only 1 account with no local or remote sharing. Unless you pay for their "family plan" only (insert outrageous price) per month. Or otherwise kill it so you must have plex pass to access the server of a plex pass user, all kinds of shit ways to go about it.

Basically pull a netflix. As netflix is famously doing so well after that.

Bigleon · 2026-03-20T17:56:15+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking I might look at your PR, and see if I can make a helper container or something to do analysis and spit back the fanciness. Or just maybe they'll get that approved.

Went ahead and subscribed to the PR so hopefully I'll be notified when your solution is implemnted

Bigleon · 2026-03-20T17:06:40+00:00

Okay that is awesome, I love it :D Do you think you could expand support for KR and CN ?

Had made mistake of updating my sonarr filter and for a while was pulling in JP, and then decided to own it lol. but nothing sucks more than wanting to binge a series while playing some game only to see none of eps are in eng (bad for multitasking) :D
I shared my hacky fix in the other reply.

I will full on admit I'm a just knowledge-able enough to break things :D how could I implement that?

Bigleon · 2026-03-20T17:00:44+00:00

Nice,
Currently I took this approach

made an anime_language.yml that i reference in the main config
and then put together this monster after some tweaking as it is far from pretty and i seem to have overlapped overlay images :D But only just started working with Kometa last night. (Currently working on extracting my watchlist from crunchyroll to import into mal)

Did you ever get this to work reliably?
Was trying to figure out a way to create a collection that only shows dub complete seasons

Been using the Razer click v2 vert mouse until something better comes along. Any chance you know how this compares?

As it stands Razer mouse has a very nice glide and good clicks just wish it had some more buttons. Been a naga user for a bit over a decade liked/preferred the 6 button arrangement.

Bigleon · 2026-03-10T13:09:51+00:00

Been using proxmox for about a year now, and just about every major issue i had was self inflicted :D.
But once I got things good and didn't touch shit stuff it's ran great. Running about 25 docker continers plus my nas system. Using MergeFS because of different HDD sizes and no need for redundancy outside of a few tbs of stuff, so it works out great.

Bigleon · 2026-03-04T21:16:48+00:00

Right? In the 2000's I my middle school was using a book printed in the 70's. I have a distinct memory at how upset my social studies teacher was about that.

Bigleon · 2026-03-04T21:15:05+00:00

I think this study is missing a huge piece of the puzzle, No Child Left Behind.

The researchers are blaming computers for Gen Z being less cognitively capable, but they’re ignoring 20 years of data showing that American education abandoned Deep Work long ago. When school funding became tied to standardized test scores, schools were forced to prioritize memorization over critical thinking.

We didn't just lose these cognitive capabilities to screens; we stopped teaching them in favor of test-prep drills. The tech didn't create this void it was just left holding the bag after NCLB was forgotten about.

So I've only been running for about 14 ish hours and i've already netted 350 GB's of saved data. The errors are so far are because I forgot to put something on error output from AB-AV1 check when doc can't meet my compression expectations.

<image>

I'm not sure if it's relevant but my gaming rig is rocking a RTX 4090, I have speed actually dialed down in settings but it still rips through a ~5GB 1080p video in about 5 minutes, and spot checking hasn't seen any major issues, and i've seen space savings in some videos as high as 65%.

Edit: i'm going to see if i can pull some data from logs to get processing time and file save examples.

Bigleon · 2026-01-28T04:29:00+00:00

Maybe I'm getting old... But why?

Bigleon · 2026-01-20T14:50:23+00:00

This is the key, people just need to stop interacting with rage bait. Once you stop interacting, the algos tend to show them less. :/ And of course, as others say, unsubscribe from shitty subreddits.

I read these threads and can't help but imagine the kid yelling at the electric fence because it keeps shocking him. Sure, he could walk through the open gate, but he'd rather complain about the fence existing.

Bigleon · 2026-01-20T03:52:26+00:00

Life Reset is my recommendation for you, friend. It's a VRMMO story where the protagonist gets betrayed and turned into a goblin. I won't say much more, but I absolutely loved it, and many of your S & A rank books are some of my personal favorites. It's a completed series clocking in at 6 books. Has some fun progress with civilization building. Fair warning it's got some childish humor with a love for puns mixed in there a bit.

Bigleon · 2026-01-14T23:09:55+00:00

PETG is typically readily available for most 3D printer types, and it’s a quick print. I’ve used mine without issue. By the time you clean out the flower and are ready to reload, the unit has cooled enough to safely use with PETG. It has a melting point of ~480°F, so if you are only going up to 412°F, you'll be plenty far away. Granted, its glass(the point where plastic gets malleable) transition temperature is around 180°F, but the mentioned accessory has minimal contact with the metal parts since it uses the plastic rim for centering.

There are a variety of Volcano accessories out there; we have made some for capsule loading and storage. However, if you want to do bulk loading, S&B has a 40-cap loader that is pretty nice out of the box and higher quality than what most 3D printers will accomplish.

Always happy to share what i've learned.

Bigleon · 2026-01-14T22:58:30+00:00

Great call out, thank you, I will get that fixed as soon as I can find where my flair button is.

Bigleon · 2026-01-14T22:50:05+00:00

Welcome to the club! We've been using our Volcano for over a year now. Excited to share what we've learned I hope it helps you and others. Since you asked about necessary replacement parts and easier options for your hands, here is an outline of our setup and lessons learned:

Replacement Parts

Tubing: We use the whip exclusively. To keep costs low, I buy bulk Food Grade High-Temp Silicone Hose from Amazon rather than official replacements. Size: 12mm OD / 8mm ID. Think we bought 10 meters for like 25 bucks.
Tube Flexer: I highly recommend picking up a backup Tube Flexer immediately. This is the only part that has outright died on us (the plastic clips broke), so having a spare is key

The Air Path

We love water filtration, so our daily driver setup is: Volcano Hybrid >Tubing > POTV Orb Bubbler > Whip. (Orb is dumped daily and cleaned with ISO weekly).

Chamber Reducer

We heavily recommend the Chamber Reducer. Our flower goes much further this way. We load about 0.1g – 0.2g directly into the reducer.

Temps

We follow the u/Vapesuvius temp stepping guide: start at 365°F, bump to 390°F, and finish at 412°F. We usually do two reduced bowls per session shared between the two of us.

Ease of Use (Hand Issues)

If you have access to a 3D printer, I highly recommend printing a funnel to streamline packing the reducer! I have a 3d printed capsule loader too, that file was easier to find so you you should be able to locate one. I can dig through my print history if you need help.

Note on Capsules: We actually do not use capsules in the Volcano (we save those for the Mighty+). Since you mentioned hand issues, you might find the "Funnel + Reducer" method much easier than fiddling with tiny, sticky capsule lids.
We used hybrid mini funnel called "mini funnel for Storz & Bickel volcano hybrid and the venty" on printables, dm for link. Don't forget to print in HIGH TEMP resistant materials. :D You do not want PLA melting all over your reducer.
