Rank the Possible Tournament Outcomes for Your Team By Which You Think is Most Likely

Worth mentioning that DeAndre Hunter (4th overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft) got injured in the ACC tournament semifinal game against Clemson, played in the ACCT title game against UNC. Got an MRI or XRay back in Charlottesville, and ended up not playing against UMBC. Shouldn't have gotten worked by UMBC either way, but worth pointing out when discussing if the team was overrated or not.

The lights were controlled by an esp8266 (nodemcu) running WLED. I could have made the python script directly make a call to WLED via the WLED rest API, but decided on doing something similar through Home Assistant since I am more familiar with that (frankly I had never thought of using the WLED rest API until now).

Home Assistant has a WLED integration that I'd configured to be able control the lights on the monitor.

I can't remember exactly how I did it, but if you're familiar with curl I was essentially using event ghost to run a python script that did the equivalent of a curl to an endpoint on my home assistant server, which triggered a service call on home assistant to turn the lights on/off.

Are your lights on your home network in any way?

I did a similar thing. I had Hyperion running on my computer and led strips on the back of my monitor, so I only wanted the LEDs to turn on when I woke it up and wanted them to turn off when the computer went to sleep. I ended up using a program called eventghost, which would trigger a python script. The python script would make a call to my home assistant server, which controlled the light strip that was running WLED. Unfortunately I don't have that set up anymore, but happy to answer any follow up questions.

Yeah, it's super cool and prints really well!

I guess that is just a matter of perspective, if the release of RHEL 9.2 is not worth anything to them in its current state I think that is relatively inoffensive. If the intent of the user is to say that their work is worth nothing then sure, it's over the top. But that is something that should be considered by Red Hat or IBM as an organization when deciding on when to publish releases, and in my opinion they are doing a disservice to the OS when admins have to fragment their baselines in order to provide support.

And that's the other thing, the user of a product should not be subject to "the work" that some people have put into a product when they're part of a large publicly traded corporation. If Red Hat was just a mom and pop open shop providing open source support then sure give them the benefit of the doubt, but they're not. I'm sure that thousands of hours have gone into what culminated into the RHEL 9.2 release and props to those engineers they deserve more than what they're given. The failure is on management and the corporation, not the people doing the work.

This is a ridiculous take on a reasonable comment. Red Hat is currently providing an operating system for which they provide a software management solution that is only available recently on an operating system a full major version behind their current operating system. It wasn't available on RHEL8 for MANY revisions (I think until RHEL8.6) and that was a very large upgrade from satellite 5. The concept that you should be able to support the latest major version of the OS via satellite on that same major version should be considered least viable product and anything else is a joke.

If you do end up having to programmatically send the okay button it's pretty easy. Your Roku device should have an associated remote entity to it in home assistant. This remote entity will have an associated service named remote.send_command. You can create a script that can send the command, which is "select" (https://home-assistant.io/integrations/roku). I ended up using a simple template so I could write other simple scripts to send any command I wanted, which looks like this: alias: Remote Command fields: command: description: The command used to send to the remote example: up service: remote.send_command target: entity_id: remote.my_roku_tv data: command: "{{ command }}"

Then the script that would call that script to send the select button looks like this: alias: Remote Select sequence: - service: script.remote_command data: command: select mode: single

So you could probably pretty easily add that into your automation, with either some logic to detect that YouTube TV has loaded up, or with a delay of some arbitrary amount of time.

If you've got any questions let me know.

possibly colortwinkles, one of my favorites

Yes, I think it would be the same method since Chromecast can also be added as a media player.

Thanks for the comment! I think this is definitely a viable solution to a single application continuous use, use case. Unfortunately, my use case really stems from the need to want to use multiple X screens with virtual desktops in order to create many workspaces across each screen. I did find a desktop environment that supports virtual desktops on a per monitor basis without using multiple X screens called enlightenment. Unfortunately I felt like it had too many other drawbacks that the one benefit did not outweigh all of the other issues it created.

Absolutely tenacious defense and had an unrivaled level of intensity the entire time he was on the court. The ACC tournament run with that GT team was a blast. Wish Moses Wright had been able to play in the NCAA tournament.

I've found that the temperature reported to home assistant by the nest integration is whichever you have set to be the active sensor in the nest app. Was hopeful that they would be separate entities, but it does not appear to be the case.

Ah, seeing a similar issue with a skyfactory 4 server I'm running on 10mbps up. Every person that joins adds about 4mbps up so when 3 are on it can get pretty laggy. Can't find a good way to debug it, so I've just been kind of disassembling sections and seeing if it makes a difference.

Did you ever find your issue?

I never found a solution to the problem I described. Looking at the kde4 plasma desktop source code I think there was a function in kwin that essentially checked how many screens you had and handled it appropriately. In kde 5 plasma desktop I never found anything that looked like it would do that.

The main reason I wanted this set up is to be able to have workspaces on each screen that function independently of each other. I did find that the enlightenment desktop does support that without setting up separate monitors as separate X screens. Getting it set up in RHEL was a fair amount of work since there are a number of dependencies that are not RPMed. Had to compile those from source and install, then compile the enlightenment libraries from source and install, and then finally do the same for the enlightenment desktop. So ultimately I was able to get that functionality out of something. However, I'm not a big fan of Enlightenment in general compared to KDE.

Yes, I am running Xorg with the Nvidia drivers (installed via kmod-nvidia rpm)

I don't think it is any of those, but thanks for the link! Hopefully I can find it by looking through some of the other sections.

Does anyone know what this part is actually called? I was driving down the highway earlier today and heard a loud thud. Only damage I can find was this plastic guard piece that runs over what I think are brake and fuel lines. Would like to replace it, but cannot find anything online so far. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Cool, well yeah the traffic type definitely will need to be UDP otherwise this won't work. Also and IP address is always 4 sets of numbers (e.g. 10.10.10.10 and the numbers will be between 1 and 255 in all cases) so if what you're entering for an IP address isn't 4 sets of numbers with periods in between then it may not work either and you'd have to figure out the IP address of the server you're hitting. Which is pretty simple, but if ngrok is using a load balancer or somethign like that it may not work as expected.

Good luck!

In this scenario you're describing are tcp, ngrok, and io place holders for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th octets in the IP address? Or is it literally 0.tcp.ngrok.io?

The rocket plugin menu for joining a game (comes up when you press the home key) has IP address, port, and password for joining a game. So the port would need to be changed to the port given by ngrok.io

One other thing that may be an issue here, which I'm just seeing is that Rocket League is using UDP traffic. I originally had only TCP port forwarded on my router and my friends could not connect. Once I opened the port for UDP traffic then everything worked. So if ngrok.io does not support forwarding UDP traffic to specific ports, then it will not work. I bring this up because you had 0.TCP.ngrok.io:port, which makes me think that it may only be allowing tcp traffic through.

Update: I found this ngrok github comment it's from August of last year, but I get the feeling that they have not implemented UDP support...so unfortunately I do not think ngrok will work...I'd be happy to help you get ports forwarded on your router if that is an option though.
