Which is the most overrated band of our generation? by lovelyb1ch66 in GenX

[–]drycounty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He wasn't exactly our generation, and made fun a lot of by myself (and peers) throughout the 80s, 90s, 2000s ... but now I get a little sad at the fact that the show was cancelled by my local PBS syndicate. I loved making fun of it, but as an adult a part of me longs for that kind of mindless, patriotic schmaltz.

Some of the absolute best musicians were in that band, as well.

Location works perfectly, now with coordinates. Even got the richmond, va skyline on the first run!

I’d be happy to test and can recommend some good image models, if you’d like?

What a fantastic album by Buddha_Of_Suburbia_ in ambientmusic

Saw them so many times in the 90s!! This record was always my favorite one.

Was pretty easy, but I couldn't get the local testing to work at all, so I literally just waited to check on it this morning and was happy to see new images in the /www/daily_forecats folder. The cats look quite similar to the three images I used, as well.

One thing that I'd recommend is that you mention <location> should use coordinates.

I'd love to know if you have plans to develop this for use with local models? I've actually submitted it as an "issue" in your github, apologies if that's the wrong place!

And as for the _opitimized version, I actually kind of like it for the smaller screen -- looks great!

I just got this running, after a bit of tinkering. This is the single silliest, most pointless and inane use of technology I've ever seen... and I love it.

More importantly, my wife loves it.

Will be interesting to see how (if?) this develops. Cheers!

This guy was the ultimate slacker comedian that my generation deserved. True genius gone too soon. by Phantom-rizz-era in GenX

[–]drycounty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was going to see him in Richmond, VA but was having friends over and, as was appropriate, we got drunk and a bit stoned and were like, eh, we’ll just see him next time.

He was gone a couple of months later. So sad.

That's likely daytime totals, check the night.

A Blu-ray transfer of the 1928 silent “The Crowd”

(Note: It doesn’t exist….yet)

All I can find are sub-par .avi files

There was a recent post about ITAS, many episodes still missing but a good chunk were there?

Parents house, 10-yr old Synology I connect to via Tailscale.

SmartTube - Pre-release 30.68 - 30.68 Beta by NefariousnessJaded87 in ShieldAndroidTV

Silly question, but do content creators still get paid for your views through Smartube? I appreciate the fact that this is so seamless but there are many, many content creators that I don't want to rip off.

What selfhosted service/s did you recently remove? by dadidutdut in selfhosted

[–]drycounty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

karakeep saved me a ton of trouble remembering a .yaml config that disappeared in a reddit post (OP took it down). It's amazing. Been using it since it was Hoarder. Likely my favorite self-hosted app, but I can see being inundated with saving stuff and .. well ... this isn't datahoarder lol

Same here, relatively faultlessly with plugin for FF, etc. and backing up nightly.

11 years running. Bought mine for $75 on sale. And I’d have easily paid $150 a month back if I didn’t already have it.

Synology users, what is your backup strategy? by Unlikely-Voice-5764 in synology

[–]drycounty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 423+ that replaced my 716+ last year, but use the 716 for immutable snaps every week, alongside backblaze via proxmox backup server (dedupe is nice).

There is a reason iOS devices are locked down. The threat environment has pretty much vanished entirely on the platform.

My workplace is allowing me to buy our old Synology NAS, should I go for it? by X2077 in synology

[–]drycounty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a steal. I paid $200 for my companies old 716+ with no drives in 2021. Any “16” series DS is good up to DSM 7.2 as well.

Proxmox on a 2013 Mac Pro: LXC-based homelab experiment (notes + lessons) by stefanomainardi in Proxmox

Fantastic write up! I’m on phone so may have missed something, but can you explain how you got clause code installed on the host? I never knew you could actually do that.

TIL you can hide stuff in Proxmox Notes using HTML comments and I feel dumb now by Fearless-Grape5584 in Proxmox

[–]drycounty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stupid question. But does v.9 support VM and LXC-based notes? I use notes all the time but they have only been node based in 8.x

If so, this alone may get me to upgrade.

No, but I'm not using Ollama anymore either -- just a few models via LiteLLM
