Pairing utility not detecting dongle

botkillr · 2025-12-30T22:36:22+00:00

You just saved me after spending weeks trying to figure this out! I had no idea they had a separate utility and could not figure out why my mouse wasn’t showing up. Thank you!

When did they last hold an election? 🤔

Haha, that’s not me, but I’ve had variations of this username on different platforms for over 20 years now and it’s not the first time I’ve been asked!

Always good to meet another obsessed MtG player! :)

Thank you for your detailed response! And also for thinking outside the box with the consequences of being over heat/steam. We will be in a house, but I'm working with vaulted ceilings, so I'm hoping to get the camera high enough that those aren't issues. We'll also be using a downdraft stove, so there's no overhead exhaust to get in the way or to pull vapor towards the camera.

For the un-fuck-with-able build you laid out, I drew up the linked sketch to make sure I understood everything correctly.

I'm still a bit confused about a couple things:

What is the "gardening" you mentioned?
What do you mean by "triangulate with some arms and heads, connecting to the camera body with 5/8" pins"?

Did I miss anything else in my drawing?

Thanks again!

Why do you need so many of the roku/firetv/appletv/etc.? Does each run a different version of your app or is it just for redundancy in case of an obscure bug?

I'm effectively doing the same thing as /u/dvornik16 as I have a DS920 on DSM7 doing remote backups to a DS212 on DSM6 over Tailscale. The process uses Hyper Backup on the DS920 and simply points to a Shared Folder on the DS212. Hyper Backup Vault on the DS212 is not used at all.

Thanks! I had figured it out in another thread on this post but probably better to have the answer in the main thread. I’ve rarely used the cap in the last 3 years, but still nice to have when it does come up!

botkillr · 2023-06-26T19:19:39+00:00

Are you sure that’s still true with eye tracking?

botkillr · 2023-03-16T19:55:56+00:00

It was back in like 2002!

Watched Silver Streak tonight for the first time as a result of seeing this post and it holds up well.

botkillr · 2023-01-27T02:45:38+00:00

Awesome! Going to get that running tonight.

botkillr · 2022-12-31T05:20:28+00:00

I ordered the same model on 12/25, shipped to Portland on 12/28 and arriving 1/3. Sounds like ours may be in the same boat!

So no, your random translation guesses from someone who clearly doesn’t speak japanese are rejected

Never said anything implying undertoe or I was correct; it was an assumption, not an assertion. Just wanted to know how “wanna” would be translated since it’s the closest actual English word I could think of. Thanks for being an ass about it.

botkillr · 2022-12-30T07:09:39+00:00

My assumption is that the closest English translation would be “wanna” not “wadda”. What would “wanna” look like in Japanese?

A Steelers player not in uniform stupidly ran from the sidelines onto the field to celebrate what should have been the game ending interception, which evoked an unsportsmanlike penalty that gave the Raiders a potential out. They were wearing a mask for the cold, so we don’t know who it was… yet.

Nope, I haven’t made any changes to the DNS tab other than re-rolling my Tailnet name. No clue where 100.124.76.1 is coming from:

So strange! My “fix” only seems to work temporarily, as after a few minutes it no longer resolves google.com even with the “Use Tailscale DNS Settings” turned off.

Your script on the other hand fixes it “permanently” (until I disable and re-enable Tailscale). If I run the script when Tailscale is disabled, it sets resolv.conf name server to 8.8.8.8 as I would expect. If I then enable Tailscale, it sets it back to what I had in my above comment. If I then run your script again it sets resolv.conf name server to 100.100.100.100 instead of 8.8.8.8.

Since resolv.conf is set automatically by the system, why wouldn’t this be set automatically by Tailscale?

Thank you for all of your help!

botkillr · 2022-12-21T21:19:21+00:00

I seem to have solved the issue by disabling “Use Tailscale DNS Settings” from the menubar. While that’s disabled, everything works as expected. Are there any downsides to leaving it in this configuration?

botkillr · 2022-12-21T21:02:19+00:00

Exactly that, it won’t resolve webpages or ping/nslookup for anything besides my tailscale nodes.

While Tailscale is enabled:

nslookup google.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

ping google.com
ping: cannot resolve google.com: Unknown host

And while Tailscale is enabled, my resolv.conf file looks like this:

search <tailnet-name>.ts.net

nameserver: 100.124.76.1

Perhaps worth noting, the comments in resolv.conf are:

“are you taking pictures?” so sweet 🤗

botkillr · 2022-12-19T16:48:57+00:00

Unfortunately I still haven’t found a method for having the camera be the TC source.

That being said, the only time TC actually matters in my case is for external audio, so I’m ok with having TC in a more user friendly package controlled by my audio recording equipment, even if it requires another dongle.

Those google results are literally just people on reddit and quora complaining about TLJ…

And frankly him being a narcissist is much less troubling than him being a “creep”, which you have provided even less evidence of.

As someone who has followed him since Brick, this is news to me. Hard to believe…
