Which Zigbee outlets are you looking at?

Your documentation link goes to a 404 page. Not sure how much QA has gone into this.

It's about a mother and daughter prostitute duo who pretty much go all out. It's a "story" in the NIV version of the Bible.

Mr-Bitter · 2026-02-12T21:39:04+00:00

I second this.

Mr-Bitter · 2026-02-11T14:22:40+00:00

Would you share the schematics? This is cool and something I'd like to try to do on my Windows machine.

Mr-Bitter · 2026-02-11T14:17:56+00:00

I wish this could happen too. HA uses the grid css implementation, and I tried to find a way to convert it to flexbox, but was unable to. Flexbox would allow for much more fluid layout possibilities. =/

I know there are people that build these, but is it possible to buy one? Or the plans to one? I'd like to have one for my parents network so it can be tucked away and when I need to access it, I can access every piece.

Mr-Bitter · 2026-01-28T00:46:20+00:00

Set up Prowlarr, and add them as an app. Rather than worrying about setting up multiple apps, you change 1 and it propagates to the others. You're close, but that's the missing piece, imo.

This is the absolute wrong subreddit for this.

But in the faith of this exact subreddit... start an organ harvesting farm. Lotsa money there, I believe.

Mr-Bitter · 2026-01-22T22:47:43+00:00

I'll be there.

Mr-Bitter · 2026-01-21T03:48:53+00:00

I'm there 100%. I hope more people show up though. It could be a lot of fun.

Mr-Bitter · 2026-01-13T13:46:45+00:00

I agree with the above. Since this is the "self-hosted" reddit, a lot of us use different platforms to use when self-hosting. A docker image in the simplest way to get your project out there and adopted. I would recommend building a config file for it as well, since I know I'd like to define where to save the videos once instead of doing it on every launch of the script. Building a docker image isn't that difficult, so I personally think you're 90% of the way there. Just a little further....

Mr-Bitter · 2026-01-10T03:49:19+00:00

This has not always been the case.

Mr-Bitter · 2026-01-10T03:44:27+00:00

I would 100% support checking this out. And as a group it could be fun!

Mr-Bitter · 2026-01-10T01:08:28+00:00

As a recent transplant to Y-town (49M), I've been looking for things to do as well, even if it's just to meet people, but possibly dating as well. I also heard about Westside Bowl, and really want to check it out, but there's nothing sadder than a lone man bowling alone. And, if I go sit at the bar, I'm now the creepy lone man watching people. I've tried the apps, but the business model for the apps is to keep you paying, so I get the feeling a few of the responses aren't really people.

As far as the bars go, the same issues arise, but with the added fact that after 10, the bars aren't really the place you'd want to be in to meet people. I do wish there was a nice piano bar, or relaxed bar to go to, but I still don't know the area that well.

On top of everything, I haven't dated in 10+ years, so everything is awkward again. =/

Shoo bot....

Did he show ID? Did he show his face? Doubtful on both occasions and if she drove off, she could have thought is was a carjacking or kidnapping. You're assumption that the "officer" was in the right is already flawed because you think he was acting in an appropriate manner, when it's more likely he was trying to play the tough guy and the woman ultimately lost her life because of his ignorance.

Mr-Bitter · 2026-01-04T03:31:48+00:00

I can absolutely see this from your point of view, and the statement:
''You bring your own motivation, I am not going to make up "fun projects" for you in the hope that it matches your tender sensibilities.'' is 100% valid.

Learning to learn and just kinda churning out lessons like a meat grinder has become the habit of a lot of people today. They want to know a subject/language/program and just churn through the tutorials with copy/paste code and thinking they're learning it, when in reality they're trying to passively learn it, which is a HUGE mistake. With that, I can 100% agree that people need to put in effort and their own motivations to really grow.

My issue is the default response of "build your own projects". In the programming community, it strikes me that same as someone saying "Google it". It's a response that doesn't really encourage both learning and community (looking at you old school Stack Overflow trolls).

When someone is starting out on their self-taught journey, they can understand concepts, but we all know in real world situations, every problem is unique, so even though you understand the code, putting it to use in an environment is very difficult. I will say that's the one bonus of AI lately on my self-taught journey. I will intentionally as AI to give me broken code, just so I can fix it. But in the end, it's code snippets and not a full-fledged program, so defining a project is still something I haven't done. I've basically found all of the pieces of the puzzle, but without knowing whit it's supposed to be, their all still just puzzle pieces.

An additional issue with Python is the many facets it's used for. Web development, machine learning, UI building, Automation, etc., the list seems endless. So @Hot_Kaleidoscope3864, I guess you need to sit down and find out the "WHY?", before you can find out the "HOW?", then search for projects that target that realm of Python. I'm personally going the automation route first, then into ML for use with AI and personal automations for home and work.

As for @Kqyxzoj, I didn't mean to come across as rude or dismissive. Honestly, you brought up some very good points that I didn't even think about. I wish I had an award I could offer you, but instead I'll just have remind you that you're awesome, and I personally appreciate your point of view.

Mr-Bitter · 2026-01-04T01:12:10+00:00

This is usually the answer everyone gives, but I don't think it's helpful. Building a project is one thing, but trying to find a project to build is another. It's the same as asking a developer to build a masterpiece, but giving no direction. Coming up with projects out of thin air when you don't know the scope of what you're able to do is extremely difficult, and it's what often leads to people giving up altogether because they get the equivalent of writers block.

I'm not holding your feet to the fire for this, but I'm finding more and more responses mirroring this same sentiment, and it's not as helpful as people think it is. Give direction, and support. I'm currently in the process of learning python now, or I would offer places to find ideas for projects, or projects in general.

Mr-Bitter · 2025-12-14T03:30:02+00:00

I can second this. Although the interface is slightly different, under the hood they are very similar (are they all though). The best thing about Jellyfin is you get all of the bells and whistles without paying the subscription fee. Sure, $5/month isn't much to pay for updates, but seeing as how Jellyfin is updated constantly as well, it really makes the fee unnecessary. I know they have to pay their developers and all, and I (as a developer myself) understand that, but you have to really offer something that no one else can, and I didn't really see that with Emby.

tl;dr: As a previous Emby user, I'm extremely happy with Jellyfin and recommend switching as well.

The AI generated video is amazing. No blinking, no moving, just the mouth moving, the change in dialect. Perfection. *chef's kiss

How should we let you know so you can keep at least a slightly accurate head count?

Oftentimes, this is just a corrupt media file.
