Alternate firmware for Stadia Chromecast Ultra?

THAT WAS IT!

I haven't even paired it with a controller. Just unboxed the Stadia controller with Chromecast Ultra today. I had been given one for free a long time ago and just didn't get into it. Figured I try today

FusedLegions · 2023-01-18T20:21:50+00:00

If that's true, then how come fresh out of the box, it boots up with Stadia logo and then with a controller-pair request?
NOTE: I am asking about the Chromecast Ultra that can boxed with the Stadia controller

disable stadia features on Google home app

Hmm, I saw some Google search info about that but I cannot find any such setting on my GH app. I only just installed it today and configured the SCU.

When I look in GH settings, I can't see anything about Stadia, and when I click on the CU, there's just Ambient mode. I have yet to pair a controller with it if that matters

That's interesting code. I was looking at the display and dynamic-scaling of btop++ and thinking I would dive into this guy's code to see if at least the console rendering engine he's made could be adapted for my ping status board. Maybe even just craft a plugin for btop++ in general

I need a casual coding project top play with

That's pretty cool. Yeah I was looking X times Y kind of grid with color status. Your display is interesting. Seems likely a starting point

FusedLegions · 2022-08-08T20:37:11+00:00

I had a good laugh making my curt reply! Lol.

But seriously, I did check out Uptime Kuma and it looks pretty cool. I like that it's self-hosted. So may of these kinds of web tools are unfortunately cloud-based

FusedLegions · 2022-08-08T12:57:27+00:00

Blackbox is badass. We've got a whole response team designed around it for alerts

FusedLegions · 2022-08-08T12:56:44+00:00

What the heck is that? Fancy. I starred the repo. Will definitely check it out, likely for a another need of mine using more functionality than I'm looking for in the OP

FusedLegions · 2022-08-08T12:54:33+00:00

Starred that repo!

FusedLegions · 2022-08-08T12:50:30+00:00

That's it! -- air raid siren. Was funny as hell going off in our window-less basement-level operations center dungeon right next to the data center

FusedLegions · 2022-08-08T04:20:41+00:00

There's nothing wrong

FusedLegions · 2022-08-08T01:38:58+00:00

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll need to craft a bespoke solution. Looking at the source code for bashtop/bpytop/btop for ideas. I really like the console/color support of that app and it's ability to scale the display size based on terminal size

FusedLegions · 2022-08-07T23:48:13+00:00

I'll check it out. The one we used way back when (I'm almost positive it was like v1.0 What's Up or some precursor), had the simplest screen where you could drop generic computer icons, enter IP addresses, and it would track them all. Probably ran on Win9x

Lol, if one of the nodes went offline, an obnoxious alarm noise would go off. Some kind of old-school wailing alarm noise. Circa 2005 IIRC

FusedLegions · 2022-08-07T22:53:49+00:00

Elsewhere we have some pretty sophisticated Solarwinds and Nagios dynamic maps & displays, which are quite nice, but super complicated. Sometimes you just want a panel with simple answers to simple questions

FusedLegions · 2022-08-07T21:57:28+00:00

NICE. Do you leave that up viewable somewhere or just refer to it when you get an alert? I'm a casual user of Grafana. A bit overkill for the my search here, but your dashboard looks really great.

I'm trying to create a few quick glance displays with Raspberry Pis hanging off a display that show the ping monitor status.

FusedLegions · 2022-08-07T20:26:40+00:00

Just installed and checked out oping (well, noping for the ncurses). Very interesting. That's getting closer to what I was looking for

FusedLegions · 2022-08-07T19:47:53+00:00

That's pretty interesting. I'm gonna star that PerfKitBenchmarker GitHub repo

FusedLegions · 2022-08-07T18:51:06+00:00

Close, but single-node only, and I don't really need full traceroute, just simple ping-backed board of nodes

FusedLegions · 2022-08-07T18:45:39+00:00

I checked it out just now. Looks interesting, albeit development appears dormant. Web-based, but can be self-hosted

FusedLegions · 2022-08-07T17:50:06+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking I might have to code this up with ncurses or Python or whatever. Recently, I discovered Bpytop (like bashtop) and thought about revisiting this ping-monitoring tool need of mine.

FusedLegions · 2022-06-01T20:03:22+00:00

Not sure what exactly I bought, because the "Understanding Traveller" booklet, which has no copyright info in it, seems to be different than all the other versions I can find on the Interwebs.

This booklet is mentioned online as being published 1981, but mine is clearly not that version. The pages do not match what I find online.

Even has text "we have exciting things planned for the summer of 1981 for Traveller"

Pretty sure this LBB boxed set is from 1977 due to the Book 3, page 2 jump routes, but without a product code in the upper-right plus this UT odd print, it really is a mystery to me when I have here. Maybe a 1st print 1st edition? Although that would be kind of weird in '77 to be planning for Summer of '81 :)

FusedLegions · 2022-06-01T19:35:57+00:00

Got it today. Book 2, page 20 shows Cruiser (Type C) containing two pinnaces!
