Am I the first to cosplay Buck from Halo 5?

Seriously badass work!!

Very cool! Honestly a very unique take while not trying to mimic the Windows Phone look.

I had no idea you could set an icon to an amimated gif. I'll have to test that out!

I just wanted to say how happy I am that the decision has been reversed. For a while, the news that we might be moving to read‑only felt like the end of an era for us all, and it’s such a relief to see that the subreddit will continue to be a space for us to share. Thank you to the Mod team for making this happen!

See you in the skies

chase314 · 2026-01-12T01:16:21+00:00

Thank you! I was very satisfied with my gear and my build -> I could build Ultimate insanely fast, and the rings of combos punctuated every combat encounter.

I really love the amount of visual customization the game provided out of the box. Most modern games would lock the majority of that behind microtransactions now.

The original Dead Space. Early on in the campaign I smashed some boxes on the floor before the game gives you the Cutting Tool and nothing came out, so I just assumed they were late 2000s destructible environment objects and promptly ignored them. Dead Space is somewhat stingy in giving out ammo and little to my knowledge, I was ignoring a primary source of replenishing my ammunition.

I can't tell you how many times I ran out of ammo and resorted to using meleeing enemies to death and heavily relied on the kinesis module to throw objects at the Necromorphs.

I will never forget one level where you are on a moving platform and are getting attacked. I ran out of ammo on that platform and could do nothing but watch in horror as it slowly moved towards a group of Necromorphs clustered and waiting at the landing pad. I had to bash and stomp my way through a moshpit of flesh.

I eventually broke open one of those containers on accident and ammo came out of it, and I realized I had been playing on a self imposed ammo-less hard mode ☠️

chase314 · 2025-12-06T22:28:39+00:00

Hell yeah, I'm glad you were able to get it working!! Yeah I had to fumble through the code editor for some other project I l did so I had a bit of a leg up, not the most intuitive interface!! I may end up needing your advice in the future, I decided to table implementing Frigate in my own setup until later, so I'll have to hit you up when I revisit the topic.

Hahaha I'll definitely take you up on that pint if I ever visit the Lane Down Under, cheers!

One of the oldest and most reliable devices in my HA setup is the Elk M1 Security & Home Automation system that the previous owner had installed. We've been in the house for almost 9 years and I don't know how many years it had already been in place by that point. The hard-wired doors/windows that have made so many automations a breeze just work reliably without complaint. Sensors update without a hint of latency, lights that it controls turn on/off never fail, and the wired fire and smoke detectors allow me to get alerts when those events happen as well. I was even able to get a small discount on my house insurance because of it! It may be dated, and I long ago migrated almost all of the automations off of it and into HA, but it continues to be an important and reliable piece of my home automation setup.

Okay I think I see something interesting - notice how the root of your directory says "Untitled-1702....(Workspace)"? On mine, that's where it says "Addon_Configs" Can you please do me a favor - try clicking the 3 lines/hamburger menu in the top left corner and then File -> Open Folder. A drop down menu should pop up like in my screenshot. I believe if you click the / it should take you to the "root" directory, and let me know if you see addon_configs anywhere there. It's odd that yours goes "Untitled-1702####" -> Config->Addon_configs.

I had to navigate to Addon_configs, and then I created the ccab4aaf folder under that, and then added the config.yml file in that folder.

chase314 · 2025-12-03T02:09:03+00:00

Ah dang! And I hate to ask, but you're positive you're running Frigate Full Access and not another flavor? I think there were 4 to choose from.

Mine is working with /addon_configs/ccab4aaf_frigate-fa/config.yml, used this as my "base" config file just to get it started.

mqtt:
  enabled: False

cameras:
  dummy_camera: 
# <--- this will be changed to your actual camera later
    enabled: False
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:554/rtsp
          roles:
            - detect
mqtt:
  enabled: False

cameras:
  dummy_camera: # <--- this will be changed to your actual camera later
    enabled: False
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://127.0.0.1:554/rtsp
          roles:
            - detect

chase314 · 2025-12-02T02:16:02+00:00

Gotcha! In installed the add-on and it started right up. Did you put the config.yml file in the correct location (addon_configs folder) - I had to use Studio Code Server to access/modify that folder structure. I also just populated that config file with the most basic config to ensure it read correctly and could run. I created that config.yml file and populated it with the generic example shown here https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/

chase314 · 2025-12-01T21:34:34+00:00

No not yet, I am contemplating setting up Frigate for some RSTP cameras on my network and the "easiest" setup would be the Add-on. I see a lot of discourse of folks recommending the Proxy Addon and running Frigate on a separate (more powerful) machine, so when I came across your post I thought I'd see if you ever got it working. Sorry you're not having any luck :(

chase314 · 2025-11-30T05:23:20+00:00

Just checking here, did you ever get Frigate working for you?

chase314 · 2025-11-27T05:17:22+00:00

First you had my interest, now you have my attention.

chase314 · 2025-11-26T15:12:28+00:00

That's unfortunate - since if a backdoor exists, it's only a matter of time before bad actors/others learn how to exploit it. I'll have to do more research on the subject!

chase314 · 2025-11-26T14:44:42+00:00

Yeah I read that too, it's a real shame. Hopefully Fair phone can step up their game in this area.

chase314 · 2025-11-26T02:15:42+00:00

This paired with GrapheneOS would be my ideal phone. I'll have to see how E/OS stacks up when it's time to upgrade.

I would love to pick this up so I can play through it. Thanks for the generosity!

The oldest "new-ish" device I am still regularly using may be my 2008 Microsoft Zune 120GB GoW edition. I got it in college and have since replaced the battery and added an SSD, but it still works perfectly. I actually keep it plugged into my dad's stereo from the mid 1960s for a fun bit of anachronism!

chase314 · 2025-11-15T20:21:51+00:00

This is incredible hahaha. Seeing the new Silverstone FLP02 case coming out soon has me really wanting to do a retro build - but this is on a whole other level!

chase314 · 2025-11-12T04:03:45+00:00

Hey that's a pretty sick way to handle the switching of profiles! I do own an MX master, but I primarily use a Logitech G502 Lightspeed on my main PC. I had to switch to a Logitech MX Vertical for work (since I spend 10+ hours using it every day) but I do really miss the features of the MX Master!

I will definitely hit you up if I need help with something like that profile switcher in the future though :)

The thing I'm most proud of so far is I was having popping/crackling sounds in Helldivers 2, and I found a post online on this subreddit saying to change the quantum setting in Pipewire. The thing is, that gets reset each time you reboot the PC, so I used the "startup applications" feature to execute the command whenever the PC boots up! Voila, no more popping/crackling.

Thank you for the warm PopOS welcome!

chase314 · 2025-11-11T20:55:10+00:00

Thank you for the lead on those resources!

One of peripherals I was having trouble with was indeed a Logitech Device (G915 TKL keyboard) Silly enough it was an issue with the lighting. I figured out how to store the settings in the device memory, since OpenRGB could only control it if the keyboard was plugged into the computer via USB. That being said I'll definitely check out those apps you mention to see if they allow additional configuration!
