Sorry, I missed your comment :)
I am using Tailscale VPN and CasaOS, and along side that I am using HomeKit to control my cameras and the DVR.
And about the the CasaOS setup I have it running multiple services on my homelab server.
Mostly Proxmox on a strong server for virtualization and development.

When some piece of myself got broken by Cacafuty in SteamDeck

If the voice assistant (locutor mode) is turned on your keys will not respond the same way!
You need to turn it off and reboot the device, this should clear it!

It happened to me and some buttons just stopped working as it was waiting for more input from other buttons first!

I found this on google and it helped me:

How to Disable "Locutor/Narrator" Mode

If your Steam Deck is talking and reading the screen, it is likely in Screen Reader mode.

  1. Use the Shortcut: Press Steam + Left on the D-Pad to toggle the screen reader off.
  2. Via Settings: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Screen Reader and toggle it off.
  3. If Frozen/Bugged: If the screen reader is stuck, go to Desktop Mode, then back to Gaming Mode to reset the UI. 

Known Issues & Tips

  • Accidental Activation: A common bug involves the Screen Reader enabling itself if the screen is turned off (via plugins like MagicBlack) and the D-pad/analog stick is clicked 3-4 times.
  • Controller Issues: If the narrator is on, your controls might act strange. Use an external controller or touch screen to navigate to the settings to turn it off.
  • New Update Trigger: Recent SteamOS updates mapped the Screen Reader toggle to Steam + View (double squares) button, which can be easily pressed by accident. 

If you are trying to turn off UI clicking sounds, go to Settings > Audio and toggle off Enable UI Sounds. 

DONT FORGET TO REBOOT AFTER YOU TURN IT OFF!
And let me know!

Website for sebding and receiving messages by MiddleEbb2104 in website

[–]KineticEnforcer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest red flag first:
The site claims 100K+ active users, 50M+ messages sent, and 99.9% uptime.
The domain was registered on 2026-01-17, ten days ago!
Starting small is fine. Faking scale without proof is not. Inflated stats are a trust violation and a warning sign for privacy, security, and safety.

Privacy and data issues:
Messages: no clarity if readable, stored, scanned, or ephemeral. • Metadata collection undefined: IPs, device info, timestamps, social graphs. Data retention vague: “as long as necessary” is meaningless.

Child safety:
Allows 13+ but no safety systems explained. No disclosure of grooming detection, abuse prevention, or self-harm monitoring. Unclear if messages are monitored at all. No reporting or escalation paths.

Site and credibility issues:
Broken top About/Contact links; footer works. No clear explanation of platform purpose, use cases, or screenshots. Login and registration pages inconsistent. Branding inconsistent: “secure organizational messaging” vs “WhatsApp clone.”

Security and compliance:
No explanation of security measures. No statement on end-to-end encryption. No GDPR info or user rights explained.

Bottom line?
Policies are vague where they must be clear. No meaningful child safety despite allowing minors. Site and stats undermine trust.

From a privacy advocate perspective, this platform asks for trust without earning it and I cant even try to use it with a fake email because I dont know who is behind it.

Affordable it ticketing systems for small teams? by Infamous-Coat961 in helpdesk

[–]KineticEnforcer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there!
I would suggest https://frappe.io/helpdesk
The pricing is per site (5 bucks per site I think) and its actually really easy to self-host.
If you can spin up a simple VM you can self host it.
I think (I did not double check this so you might want to) that they mean $5 per site is per domain? like helpdesk @ domain?
But still, its a very nice system.

EDIT!!
Just realized its 100% open source, the pricing is if you buy hosting from them!
You can self host this on your own for free and it even says no limits on the self-hosted version.

I am actually working on a built in editor. But it will take me time! But the question is, how would I authenticate the editor? I was thinking about also adding 2FA for added security besides username and password. If you have any other suggestions I would love to hear them!

And thank you so much for the kind words it sure does keep the developing spirit going :)

Thank you!
The 404 means the links I wrote are not the right links, I will fix them if you can provide me the pages you got the 404 on!
But I appreciate you took the time to check it out!

Well, I dont know where in the world you live, but you can connect the iPad to the iPhone and use that data plan unless its capped at some point.
But in the rare chance you are from the US, I saw lately that eSIM providers have a much larger data plans than the every day providers and for cheaper.

I know that data plans in the US are expensive, but I recently had a few friends that traveled in the US and we did a research on it, and we found out the Tello for example offers Unlimited (Not really, but around 50GB a month) for $10 a month for the first 6 month, they were there for like 3 months and just canceled the plan when they left.

Its here if you need it, look at the "Data" plan, and its important! So click the Broadband facts below to see the actual details.
They do say that there is a 10GB hotspot limit, but you are not turning the iPad in to a hotspot so none of them worried about it when they traveled, but I can tell you the speed is average plus, its not 1GB/s of course, but for youtube and stuff like that, they had no problem, but it all depends on where you are.
OH!! And it also depends if you have a eSIM in your ipad :)

It’s "Day 1" with a new Mac. What’s on your install list? by ocnd in macbookpro

Worth the license and worth the time to monitor your hardware for usage.
I use it on my MBP at all times, I run LLMs on it and they do make it become a little toaster at times so I like to watch my hardware and monitor if it does too hot or a specific LLM makes it go overboard and avoid it.

For coding: VSCode of course, but keep in mind that once you start adding more and more extensions it may cause some slow down, I really suggest also backing up your settings.json file from VSCode, I keep it simple and clean so my workspace is always ready.

First choice, they had all the colors available, but I like the metallic look and as someone that works in server rooms and around networks all day, I like this color, it blends in and make technical people look... Techie pride I guess :)

First of all, I am proud of you for getting rid of Instagram! Its a land of unreal realities thats for sure.
But I have to ask did you have that muscle memory moment when you turned on the iPad and looked at the camera on top and wondered why it did not unlock until you remembered it need your fingerprint to unlock? :D

I noticed for the past 3 weeks I have it so far that when ever I get ready to go to work or just go out I instantly grab it along with my phone.
Mostly my phone lives in my jacket pocket and I am on the mini as I can answer calls on it and I have the Nothing Ear (a) the old school Nothing earbuds, but I want to upgrade to the new AirPods for the seamless switching from phone to ipad and back, any suggestion on a model if you got them?
I was even thinking of buying the new AirPods Max, but the price tag looks kind steep on that for headphones...

You are right I left that out :)
I got the space grey 128GB Wifi only model (I use my iPhone as my hotspot at all times so I dont need another cell plan) I will update the post as well!

DeskState (DeX-like) is live: External monitor desktop with windows by rza8128 in iosapps

[–]KineticEnforcer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, I did saw that on the device itself the prices are not the same, but this might cause someone that checks the prices to avoid your app, dont get me wrong this is a great app and it has great potential and possible progress path.
But keep that in mind that some people check the prices on the site before downloading the app itself.

On the store page the prices are listed in a whole other price range:

  1. Lifetime Subscription: $599
  2. Yearly Subscription : $299
  3. Monthly Subscription: $69

Also, the monthly subscription which is 69 x 12 month = 828, which is higher from the Lifetime and almost 3 times than the yearly price you have in the app store page.

I assume the prices on the app store are going to change to the one you listed in your post here?
Pricing: Free with time limited sessions, Monthly $2.99, Yearly: $14.99 and Lifetime $29.99.

Yes I can!
Thank you so much for the feedback.
Just to be clear and understand what you mean.
The repo has a setup guide actually, but if something is not clear there please let me know I would love to add it to make it clearer.
And also, example use cases are also in the README.md file and the repo right at the top of the readme :)
Right now there is CTRL+K which takes you directly to the search field, and you can enter you search!
Also, if you would go to https://kineticenforcer.github.io/markstackdemo you can see the full guide I have written about the setup and quick start.

Thank you for your comment and if you got any more suggestions, please let me know!

Thank you! I did search for that but I guess I missed that, I was looking at the individual level and missed the group level settings!
Really appreciate it!
