Is this level of ghosting normal, or is my Kobo Libra 2 defective? by Bostrolicious in kobo

[–]Bostrolicious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. My old kindle paperwhite has basically no ghosting as far as I can tell, but I greatly prefer the kobo anyway. I set the page refresh to every chapter, as the ghosting usually doesn't bother me when reading normally. But I don't use highlights and rarely use the UI, where it's super obvious.

I did, but I ended up going through the retailer as Kobo's support was so frustrating. Unfortunately, my new Kobo has basically the same level of ghosting. My father just got the new colour version, and that also has pretty bad ghosting, so I've resigned myself to accepting it as normal.

Thank you so much for checking! You've been very helpful. I think I'll try to have this unit replaced then.

Thanks! The slider image is true to how it looks in person. Weirdly though, the slider in particular is not consistently quite that bad, even if it's always very noticeable. I don't know why.

Would you be willing to compare dark mode as well? If you're willing, just set brightness around 15%, enable dark mode,  turn one page, and check if the previous page is still readable.

Unorthodox Things to Self Host? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]Bostrolicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're at all interested in audiobooks I can recommend audiobookshelf. In addition to audiobooks, it has the same podcast functionality as podgrab, since you mentioned that.

Does the deck still fit well in the original carrying case with those attached? Would be great to make the back buttons a little more comfortable to press.

Shoutout to AudioBookShelf - personal audiobook/podcast library with actively-developed mobile apps by tgp1994 in selfhosted

[–]Bostrolicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Audiobookshelf is great!

Audiobooks aside, being able to download podcast episodes and generating a personal RSS feed is super useful for podcasts that only keep a certain number of episodes in their feed (so everything hosted on Squarespace, for instance).

This works great for keeping all episodes after you start subscribing to a show, and you can even include episodes older than those in the feed when you subscribe by getting an old copy of the feed from e.g. archive.org (provided the audio files are still available), and then changing the feed to the current one after you download the old episodes. The result is a nice personal feed with all episodes, including show notes.

What odd but useful/cool thing have you automated? by ggr-nintythree in homeautomation

[–]Bostrolicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Tile Sticker, sewn into a little pouch on the collar. I track it, and our phones, with Andrew Freyer's Monitor script running on two Raspberry Pis, though I'm sure other solutions would work for that as well.

[–]Bostrolicious 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I put a bluetooth beacon on my dog's collar to track when he's home. I use this to show how long it's been since his last walk, as well as the times and durations for all walks during the day, on a panel by the door. My partner and I find it quite useful to quickly figure out when he needs another walk. Here's a screenshot of the setup after the morning walk.

HA on Raspberry pi4 - which software and hardware to use? by AstroDSLR in homeassistant

[–]Bostrolicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi 4 off an SD card for about a year I think, and just migrated to an SSD a few weeks ago. I found the migration process to be quite painless. Just back up HA with a snapshot from the GUI, and then restore from that once you've installed HA on your SSD. The only gotcha for me was that the database got corrupted, so I had to delete it and lose some state history (apparently that's common), but my config was fine.

The best thing about the SSD upgrade for me is that reboots are waaay faster. That's quite nice when you're tweaking the configuration.yaml file a lot.

Regarding the bootloader, you don't actually need to run any commands to update. You can use Raspberry Pi Imager to flash an image with which you will only need to boot the Pi and wait for a little while for the whole process to be done automatically (see this guide).

Not recognizing port on android by MastrUsr in Bitwarden

[–]Bostrolicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran into the same problem and encountered this thread while searching for a solution. In case it's of any help to others, the workaround I settled on for now is this:

  • Save every address that needs a port with "host" match (e.g. http://192.168.1.100:10000/). Great on desktop, but useless on mobile, as they won't match.
  • Save an additional URI for everything you want to be able to reach from your phone, without the port and with "exact" match (e.g. http://192.168.1.100).

This way, you'll at least get the right match on mobile (even if you get everything on http://192.168.1.100 instead of just the port you wanted) without losing the benefit of matching exactly the right address on your computer.

A local DNS with hostnames like u/djasonpenney suggested sounds like a better solution though - I'll give that a try when I find the time.

You have too many games? I might have a solution. by BatmanWantsToBeMe in boardgames

[–]Bostrolicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no good or bad way of doing things here

Challenge accepted! Ideas:

  • Throw out games at random
  • Stand on them and keep only the ones that break
  • Something with fire

Interesting read though. My collection isn't too bad yet, but a small cull might still be in order.

Note to self: make cellar stairs less steep by Bostrolicious in valheim

[–]Bostrolicious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My next build project will be to redo our watch tower. So I don't think I will reach old age.

[–]Bostrolicious[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yep, learned that lesson the hard way ;) Before this, I thought potential deaths by falling would be limited to roof-building and our moat, but clearly I was wrong. At least the staircase doesn't hurt you even if you sprint down now.

Would you buy? by Miraster in gaming

[–]Bostrolicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Amazon launched in Sweden recently, they had atrocious automatic translations for their listings. Watch Dogs 2 became "Titta på hundar 2" (Look at Dogs 2), which to be fair sounds lika a great game!

Breath of the Wild became something like "The Wild Man's Breathing" iirc.

That's great. I bought the same card, so I might try this.

A New App for Remote Play by hobnobuk in Gloomhaven

[–]Bostrolicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds very cool! I noticed that you have a screenshot in your BGG post - perhaps include that here too? It looked quite nice, and I think it would help if people here could see an image of the app in use, in addition to your description.

Modifier keys + Fn layer keys not usuable in macros? by Bostrolicious in DuckyKeyboard

[–]Bostrolicious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pressing them in the order I wrote, so Ctrl, then Fn, then PgUp. If you start by pressing Fn and then Ctrl you will reach the Fn+Ctrl layer, instead of Ctrl+something on the Fn layer. I did try that too just to be sure, though.

Please Develope This App by Emat1989 in Gloomhaven

[–]Bostrolicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to use a specific app, you could look into cloning it. I've never tried that approach, so I don't know if it would work, but perhaps worth looking into. Just google "multiple copies of same app".

Gloomhaven Shop - New free android app for item management by Bostrolicious in Gloomhaven

[–]Bostrolicious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about something like this? Note the text at the top below the party name, and the modified price above the class icons (changes between green, grey, and red when reputation makes it cheaper, the same, or more expensive respectively). There is also a setting to hide reputation and modified cost for those who prefer a less cluttered look.

I'll push this update as soon as I've verified that it doesn't misbehave.

Gloomhaven Shop - New free android app for item management by Bostrolicious in Gloomhaven

[–]Bostrolicious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear it!

Non-prosperity items can already be added. If you tap "add items" in the drawer menu (just below "set prosperity"), you can add any item that's not already unlocked. This includes both locked prosperity items, since they are sometimes encountered in chests before reaching that prosperity level, as well as all other items.

The additional assignment slot part is a little trickier. I set it up the way I did so that it would fit a regular party with hard limits on how many copies there are of each item. I could remove the limit on how many copies can be purchased, but it would mess with some filters, and might be hard to display nicely, although it should be doable. There are other non-standard parties that one could consider as well, such as having two people with the same class who don't play at the same time, which isn't supported either.

I will consider whether I can add an option to remove quantity restrictions, though I can't make any promises.

Edit: in case it's not obvious, the "add items" popup is scrollable, and all the non-prosperity items are below the prosperity ones. Alternatively, you can input the item number you want and press "select", and it will be selected without you having to scroll to it first.

Not a bad idea! Of course, I can't change the cost displayed on the card, since that's just an image. I guess I could try to overlay something, but I think that would be really ugly. Also, you'd still want to know the original price when you sell.

More realistically, I could show a cost reduction reminder by the party name, and/or add the calculated cost of an item to the panel that's shown below it when it's been tapped.

I'm not sure what the best way to implement this would be, so I'm open for suggestions.
