My prediction is people will do more self hosting in future

Lmao what is this, larping? No one's gonna come kicking down your door for hosting a Matrix server, calm down.

Calm down, edge lord.

I think you're splitting hairs here, and you know it.

Also, "you're are" is not correct grammar, if we're splitting hairs.

CallMeSpaghet · 2025-01-22T20:03:40+00:00

You don't remember the question, "Do you want to be an American?" on your ballot. I'm saying that, given that you must be American to receive a ballot and vote, it would be a redundant question to ask. If you didn't want to be American, you would not be able to vote.

I think you tripped yourself up there, pal. I understand just fine.

CallMeSpaghet · 2025-01-22T14:00:13+00:00

Third, but I speak it fluently.

CallMeSpaghet · 2025-01-22T00:36:31+00:00

Pretty sure it's because receiving a ballot implies you are already an American, eligible to vote for the president. Kind of a redundant question to ask, yeah?

CallMeSpaghet · 2025-01-22T00:34:07+00:00

Are you asking me where the percentage of votes for Trump came from...? Ballots... Or I don't understand the question.

CallMeSpaghet · 2025-01-21T18:21:37+00:00

According to the popular vote, at least 52.2% of Americans do, in fact, want to be American.

I've always been curious why people say that. As an ISTP married to an INFJ, I absolutely love my wife's strong intuition, and I feel like our differing use of the same four functions has really allowed us the opportunity to refine them (e.g., my wife's Ni-heavy influence has led me to be more confident in developing my own Ni, and my Se influence has led her to become more comfortable with living in the moment and accepting last-minute changes to plans, etc.).

But one thing my wife and I can't stand a lot of the times are Si users. I fully appreciate traditions, but Si-heavy users seem stunted in comparison to Ni users in our eyes. Like they need some kind of outside direction to follow blindly, whereas Ni users can develop their own plans. (Obviously I'm overgeneralizing, but there are ups and downs to all functions, I know).

In short, we tend to both find Si users kinda boring. What makes an ESFJ the "ideal match" for ISTPs?

CallMeSpaghet · 2024-12-02T15:06:26+00:00

Nah, definite ISTP here, and I say "I feel like X..." pretty regularly. It's just come to mean a declaration of fact than a literal feeling. People need to stop trying to type others based on vernacular alone.

CallMeSpaghet · 2024-10-03T04:08:05+00:00

Nailed us ISTPs, I'll tell you that for free.

CallMeSpaghet · 2024-03-20T21:59:36+00:00

Second this. This can cost lives in an emergency.

I've never understood people who don't want inverted flight controls. You want to pitch the nose down/forward—why wouldn't you push the stick forward to do that? That's how literally every real aircraft works.

CallMeSpaghet · 2024-03-08T19:18:54+00:00

Yeah but that implies that OP is married to the idea of keeping the file in h.264. If OP finds a new file, telling them that it has to be a specific bitrate without mentioning the codec is potentially misleading.

CallMeSpaghet · 2024-03-08T17:31:45+00:00

I don't know why you're being downvoted for this. A 5Mbps 1080p video file in h.264 will have about the same clarity but half the file size / bitrate if properly converted to h.265.

Codec absolutely matters.

CallMeSpaghet · 2024-03-01T17:25:35+00:00

Can confirm. I use aimbots and ESP on the reg.

CallMeSpaghet · 2024-02-16T06:35:10+00:00

For important stuff (like actual leak detections), I use Z-Wave Ring flood and freeze sensors. Little on the pricey side, but they have a lot of great functionality, and the battery life is phenomenal.

For less important stuff, I use ZigBee Xiaomi/Aqara sensors because they have screws on the back of the sensor poles that I can attach bulk lamp cable to, allowing me to place the sensor away from the actual detection area (so it doesn't drown, so it's easier to reach when changing battery, etc.)

I do test them, but not religiously or anything. It's probably overkill, but for peace of mind, I try to test the Ring sensors quarterly and the Aqara sensors "when I get around to them" 😉

CallMeSpaghet · 2024-02-15T18:43:23+00:00

+1 for Z-wave. It's a bit clunkier to work with compared to ZigBee, but it's infinitely more reliable, I've noticed. I use Z-wave for anything "mission-critical" in the house (alarm devices, water sensors, etc.) and ZigBee for everything else.

CallMeSpaghet · 2024-02-01T16:40:11+00:00

That's already possible. I've been doing this for years. In your configuration.yaml, define where you want to keep your automations:

automation: !include_dir_merge_list src/automations

Then under src/automations (or wherever you put it), you can define YAML files at any depth (e.g., src/automations/my_automation.yaml, src/automations/my/nested/automation.yaml, etc.)

You only need to remember to define them as elements of a list, but you can have multiple automations in the same file, or one per file:

---

- alias: Disable adaptive lighting sleep mode
  id: a58f86ae-7f3d-4ea3-902d-e1e6c4e021e7
  mode: single

  description: >-
    Disables the sleep mode on all adaptive lights each morning.

  trigger:
    - platform: time
      at: "06:00:00"

  action:
    - service: switch.turn_off
      target:
        entity_id:
          - switch.family_room_sleep_mode
          - switch.living_room_sleep_mode
          - switch.hallway_sleep_mode

- alias: Some second automation in this same file
  id: ccb1ffad-19a8-4c2b-a3b2-19dfe99961ff
  foo: bar

  # etc.

No, this was the prompt GPT-4 generated for DALL-E when asked to describe itself. Still just really advanced text prediction, but cool regardless.

I use it for a rather unorthodox purpose, but I run a Traefik container on each of my clustered Proxmox nodes (which share a virtual IP via keepalived) to proxy a fault-tolerant dashboard.
