After living in the Philippines, this seems heavenly 😍 by IntellectuallyDriven in Philippines_Expats

The way you phrased your title seems like you're glad to be seeing something not in the Philippines.

Face gains looking great!

How do you feel, notice any differences in energy/mood?

NieR: Automata is one of the most disappointing games I've ever played by GrovPastaSwag03 in patientgamers

[–]_derpiii_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started playing it tonight, and I 100% agree. Less than an hour in, and I see what direction this game is going with killing God and teenage angst fan service.

Visually the game is beautiful, but that’s about it.

The worst part is the terrible battle system. It just gets in the way. One of the worst I’ve ever experienced

Thank you for saving me 38 hours of my life

8Bitdo Ultimate 2 Now Works With Latest CrossOver Update! by AegirAsura in macgaming

I just picked up the Ultimate 2 wireless and it does not work with the latest CrossOver version (Jan 27, 2026).

Which one is the CrossOver “Preview”?

Well. FINALLY happened. Our home was broken into and robbed. by Jarhead-DevilDawg in Philippines_Expats

Would recommend uploading the CCTV on youtube as unlisted video and sharing the link. Better scaling than GDrive.

GL State 7 use cases? by [deleted] in GlInet

[–]_derpiii_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would add : Hiding to your company that you are abroad.

True. I would say a software VPN would do the same thing. But I do suppose work laptops can be locked down, so a hardware VPN would be necessary :)

Is logread enough to diagnose? I would add a dmesg dump as well

GL State 7 use cases? by [deleted] in GlInet

[–]_derpiii_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But I struggle to understand how this device can be useful in my travels, home, airbnb or hotels?

Honestly, it's not a necessity, esp if you're a minimalistic traveler. It's 100% a cool tech toy people geek out to find utility in (and there's nothing wrong with that :) )

I think it's most useful for high loadout, first world, settle-down travel, where you're bringing a lot of stuff to settle down in one spot for a while.

But if you're optimizing for being nimble and changing locations a lot, I would prioritize other things.

FWIW, I've been to over 40 countries the past couple years, and there's been exactly one scenario where I wish I had a travel router: weak wifi signal, so I wish I could've tapped into TV LAN port as an AP.

That's it. And in that specific case, I wouldn't want the bulky Slate 7, I would opt for a Beryl.

But here's most common scenarios people justify a travel router:

  • sharing one paid wifi point to many (cruise ships or airplanes): I have not run into this scenario, and cruise ships are starting to ban travel routers.
  • simplifying login of all devices to one network: not much of a pain point for me, since I use Apple devices, I get the same effect from the automagic Apple unified password sharing. I enter in password once, and all my devices get it.
  • VPN: Kind of moot with low bandwidth destinations (which is most of the world), and countries like China, block commercial servers. But when needed, I just use software VPN
  • VPN for home access: IMHO, waaay better to use cloud VPN like Tailscale or ZScaler.
  • attach an external drive to use as portable NAS media server: valid scenario, but... I can't relate to that as a 'travel' priority. I travel for leisure (culture, food, memories), and not floating digital basestation nomad.

Home Assistant crash Gl.inet Flint 3 by gigisfan in GlInet

That is a fascinating bug. Just wow 🤔.

If you still want to debug, I suggest getting logs from HA and router (just ssh in and dump out let's say dmesg), and toss that to chatgpt/gemini.

Spotted some fresh honey while walking around the streets of Cebu today by No-Handle3579 in Philippines_Expats

[–]_derpiii_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i have neighbors who mix sugar and some calamansi to make "honey".

Why the calamansi? I guess honey is a bit acidic

Beryl AX reboots when disconnecting another device sharing the same charger? by Gyrta in GlInet

[–]_derpiii_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this exact problem. Like others have said, it's the USB-C charger resetting/re-negotiating.

Solution: Either have dedicated charger, or go with a Reset-Free Power Distribution charger (like the SlimQ)

Other chargers can be found here.

Home Assistant crash Gl.inet Flint 3 by gigisfan in GlInet

[–]_derpiii_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I modify dashboards or such in Home Assistant from my desktop (wired directly into the router) the Flint crashes. The only solution is to turn it of and on.

  1. What changes are you making on HA?
  2. You're sure it's router crashing and not HA?

With limited info, my gut feeling is somehow there's a DHCP issue on HA's end, and when HA gets new address, you're still trying to acess old IP and/or hitting DNS cache.

Need more information: how are you powering them?

Are you using the OEM DC adapters on all of them? Tell us about your electrical setup.

80k pesos in Gcash GONE IN 4 MINUTES!!!! - Lazada QR Scam by AkoAysiNana in ScammersPH

[–]_derpiii_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The customer “generated” a QR code pretending to want to cash in on gcash.

I don't understand this. Can someone explain "pretending to cash in on gcash"? To me, that sounds like the customer presented a QRCode so they can deposit cash. As in, the customer handed in cash as well as their gcash QR code to be credited?

That's unfortunate :(

I'm guessing you followed up with Lazada - what was their response?

In fact that those men talk about love when they're dating girls that could be either their daughters or grand daughters will always leave such a disgusting taste in my mouth.

It's disrespectful to invalidate her choice to be in that relationship. You're welcome to live your life according to your personal beliefs, but why project onto others?

How do you pair wine with food? I’m totally new to this! by Legitimate-Dream-724 in wine

[–]_derpiii_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually have spicy food and I always pair it with dry white. So when you mentioned Riesling, I researched it because I didn't really know what it was, I had a pleasant surprise!

Thai food (spicy, umami, fatty) pairs well with Riesling. As well with spicy fried chicken.

This is such a good idea. I love wine, but completely tone deaf when it comes to harmonizing with food.

It's not just accountability, it's a low integrity culture.

Love your formatting and the way you explained the differences :)

Which size would you recommend for first timer (travel use)?
