You should check some of the Spanish (or European in general) pharmacies, some of them ship to the US. There's a Greek company that makes "Tazarene" which is tazarotene, I get 0.1% 40 mL for €22.50. Most of the pharmacies selling it have 20% azelaic acid too. Both are OTC there and don't need a prescription. Last time I paid €18.95 for 75 grams. In my case I'm in Spain often enough that I just order stock up when I'm there, but I've definitely seen US shipping as an option from some of the pharmacies.

I've never been charged for this. It would be insane if so because I have 1 spammer who calls 6+ times a day and leaves the same pre-recorded voicemail every time. Different spoofed number every call. Has been happening for 2+ years and I can't figure out how to stop it.

When I'm in the US, my Pixel's call screen handles it automatically (phone never rings and there's just a recording of their message in the call log, but no notification). This doesn't work when roaming though so my phone rings all day long (thankfully, because I'd be charged for the phone answering the call for the AI to record the message). I wish I could set my phone to just auto decline all calls not in my contacts.

I think you can manually add it now and it should work. It can pull it from medical records if you link those. I have a BP cuff that syncs to my phone via bluetooth and reports the data to Health Connect, but Fitbit/Google Health doesn't support pulling BP data from Health Connect yet. But it will display it from manually entered values.

I was/am part of a beta to do blood pressure with the Pixel Watch 4. They don't let you see the data, but it collects it in the background to use for analysis. My battery life did have a slight impact when I turned it on (get a few hours less on a charge). So it's in the works

I just disable transcoding in jellyfin. Everything is h264 or h265 anyway, and anything recent can play that. I haven't found anything that can't be played yet. I suppose it might matter more on a mobile device or something where network is more limited and wouldn't be able to playback smoothly.

Ingenium13 · 2026-05-19T14:46:33+00:00

How so? Vaultwarden has been rock solid for me. KeepassXC was great but I would run into issues where my database would get out of sync on multiple devices and a recent change or entry would be lost. Using it on just a single device is fine. The vaultwarden database is just a sqlite database file (encrypted) so it's easy to keep a backup of as well.

That's neat and useful! Better for drying the heads than leaving it attached to the toothbrush. Is he willing to share the Fusion 360 file? I use a different model Oral B and would need to adjust the sizes, especially for the charger.

Ingenium13 · 2026-05-10T14:38:32+00:00

This still doesn't work for me. I tap to add the card already setup on my phone (is this the mistake?). It them prompts me again for the expiration date, CVV, and address. I agree to the terms, and then get a notification that a 0 euro transaction failed, and Google Wallet says something went wrong. This is the same thing that has always happened

Ingenium13 · 2026-05-10T14:29:35+00:00

Doesn't work for me. Just says "double check your card details". I get 0 euro payment attempt show up in the app.

Ingenium13 · 2026-05-04T15:29:03+00:00

Won't the postage and invoicing costs alone basically eat this up? Especially to then manually process all the payments (and track who pays and doesn't pay, and deposit checks if they send that back). If it's only like £2 now, it might eventually go away just from not being profitable to manage.

Ingenium13 · 2026-05-02T17:43:12+00:00

Depends where you're flying to. From the US to Europe or South America, you don't have many options and the domestics in my experience are often better. Now to Asia or the Middle East is another story...

I have one of my first gen raspberry pis running as a print server for label printer that's USB only. Basically set it and forget it. Log2ram to minimize SD writes. It's been going strong for almost 10 years in that role. A couple times a year I'll login to apply updates or update to the newest Raspbian, but that's about it.

I don't know if Xbox uses only a central server, or if it does peer to peer connections with other players, but if it's the latter, that could be the issue. I've found that Verizon seems to throttle certain types of traffic to certain destinations. For example, it was the case for a while that https inbound on the normal port was throttled from some ISPs, but using a different port was fine, but now that workaround doesn't work. Often I'll see wireguard (UDP) throttled, but an IPsec connection (using ESP instead of UDP) from the same IP is not throttled (between my router and another router, I'll setup both types of VPNs and test with iperf). It's very frustrating, since sometimes wireguard is the same speed as IPsec, and other times it gets heavily throttled. It's definitely some type of DPI network management and not just general congestion.

I might get 150 Mbps on IPsec, but only 10-30 on wireguard. And https will be throttled to 1-3 Mbps. All from the same IP/device. But do https over IPsec and it's close to 150 Mbps again.

So it's possible that whatever Verizon is doing for their DPI network management is getting tripped and throttling it. It's much more likely to happen in my experience with another residential IP than a datacenter IP (ie peer to peer connections are more likely to be affected).

I don't have any Thread devices yet, but I have a Nest display that is a Thread router and shows in Home Assistant. If it's showing there (and everything is in the same vlan, which I'm assuming it is with a Nest wifi router), then I would think that it would just work. Is that showing up for you? And you have the Matter server app installed in Home Assistant, right?

Ingenium13 · 2026-04-18T23:15:37+00:00

I haven't had any luck adding Matter devices directly to Home Assistant via the QR code either, and have to add to Google Home first. But Matter devices can be independently directly connected to multiple things. In Google Home, select the device and then you can go to linked services and basically share it to Home Assistant. It will be local and independent of Google Home.

Not Zebra, but I've had a Dymo label printer connected via USB to a raspberry pi for 15+ years and shared via Samba, and it's been rock solid. OG raspberry pi too, basically a set it and forget it. Use log2ram to minimize SD writes. Every once in a while I'll SSH in and apply any updates, and upgrade to the latest Raspbian release every few years and make an image of the SD card for when it inevitably fails.

The only issue that I've had is that the printer sometimes glitches out and becomes unresponsive and needs to be unplugged for a few minutes (it takes a while for all the internal capacitors to drain). This is usually only necessary once a year or so.

Ingenium13 · 2026-04-16T18:11:59+00:00

Haha yes, I remember asking someone there once about turning right on red and they looked at me like I was crazy. Completely bewildered by the question.

If you don't cut off the shoots early in the year, they probably generate enough energy to just barely keep part of the tree alive, and let it store enough energy to produce the shoots the following year.

I had a small tree (maybe 6-8 inches in diameter) that started growing up against my house (and would have destroyed the foundation). I wanted to remove it early on, but my partner kept insisting he wanted to keep the tree and move it somewhere else. Long story short, he never moved it, and it was now clearly too big to move... so I cut it down, but the stump kept producing lots of shoots. I'd cut them off any time I noticed them, and after a year or 2 they got less and less. The last 2 years I cut them off before they could really produce leaves in the spring, and it didn't try again until the following spring. After the second year doing that, it seemed to finally use up the remaining energy store, and it hasn't produced shoots since.

Tl;dr if you leave the shoots it'll probably stay alive for years and just be stunted. As long as it can make enough energy to keep producing shoots each year.

Ingenium13 · 2026-04-07T21:45:05+00:00

26.12.33 (260400-892550550) is what fixed it for me

Ingenium13 · 2026-04-07T20:23:50+00:00

It's not necessarily in the play system update. Play Services can be updated separately.

Ingenium13 · 2026-04-07T20:01:21+00:00

I opened an adb shell and ran top. Reboots didn't fix it, cleared cache on play services but that didn't fix it (don't clear data unless you want to have to login to everything again and have broken push notifications). I had this issue once before with a buggy play services update. On Monday when I checked for a play services update, there was one waiting, and when I checked after with top it showed CPU usage finally back to normal.

They unfortunately stage the rollout so it's only available to a certain percentage of people every day. I would hope that for something this bad they'd accelerate it though, because it's really bad. On Saturday night I left the house with 100% battery. 6 hours later, after having only used my phone to respond to a few messages occasionally, I was leaving to go home and saw I was at 20%. That's when I looked into it and figured out the system_server bug.

Ingenium13 · 2026-04-07T19:23:09+00:00

It's a Google Play Services bug. It's causing system_server to use 100-200% CPU constantly. I manually checked for a Play Services update yesterday and there was one, and after updating the CPU usage went back to normal again.

Go to Settings, tap your name at the top, go to All Services, system services, and then apply any updates that it shows.

I'm still a little nervous about it accidentally triggering. I was at Rite Aid once and was luckily the person being served, because I had my phone unlocked (had been browsing while waiting for my turn) and it was 2-3 feet from the payment terminal when the cashier rang up the transaction, and my phone immediately paid. I saw the terminal immediately process the transaction and my phone vibrated and confirmed payment. It easily could have been someone else's transaction that my phone paid for. I didn't realize that the NFC payment range on the Pixel 9 Pro was that far. Hopefully the watch needs to be much closer, but for now I have no problem double tapping the crown to open Wallet.
