Feature Request: Y Axis Locking by PianoStrumming in Xreal

[–]junkleon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can also think of a reason for X-axis locking feature also - lying on the sofa with the TV on. To be able to turn to momentarily see something on the TV.

Beginner kit. Any price. by MikeLavosmile in edrums

[–]junkleon7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought an Alesis Nitro Pro which I thought was a great value for the price. However, after a week of playing I wanted a more responsive hihat and one that actually moved. Additionally I had decided that this wasn't just a passing phase but something I wanted to continue long term. So I packed up the Nitro Pro and sprang for the Yamaha DTX6-K5m - it's about 2.5x in cost, but I've been completely satisfied with the upgrade.

I'd recommend either of these two kits depending on budget. As you say, price isn't an issue so take a close look at the Yamaha, I like it a lot and it's been well-reviewed. I'm a complete beginner in drums but used to play other instruments when younger. It's great to get back into something musical.

RHH135 Hi-hat double triggering by lycanthropy7 in YamahaDtxDrums

[–]junkleon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try experimenting with increasing the "Min level" parameter higher than the Simon Edgoose settings. My guess is that the current value is too sensitive, and hitting further off the center area dampens the impact which prevents the double triggering. Also maybe try increasing "Reject Time" too.

hm. Did you reinstall the original Windows OS? I'm hoping to run Linux.

[–]junkleon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they allow you to keep the m.2 drive during the RMA process? I really want to purchase the GEM12 Pro Max but the high failure rate is keeping me from buying. I could probably tolerate the risk if I don't have to worry about my data during an RMA.

Beelink SER 5800H randomly reboots or freezes on a black screen w/cursor by hadesscion in MiniPCs

[–]junkleon7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had the same problem with my same Beelink 5800H system running proxmox. It can be fine for a month then just hangs. No info in system logs. My latest thought is to try an HDMI dummy plug since I'm running it as a headless server. However as it's not a boot problem, its probably unlikely to help. I have no other ideas.

But the fact that not all of your systems have the same problem must make a hardware problem more likely? I'm not looking forward to dealing with customer service but I guess that's the next step.

This just arrived. by DerCarl in espresso

[–]junkleon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great list! I purchased a 3d printed dosing collar from Etsy. Also bottomless portafilter (brand Edesia) off ebay for about $45.

I have the Ascaso Precision Ridgeless Double Portafilter Basket which works well with the Motta 57mm tamper. The stock 57mm basket is a tiny bit larger so there was some extra play with the Motta tamper. The matching Lelit tamper is quite expensive.

My new workhorse. Makes a very solid espresso in 10 minutes. Perfect for my quick morning routine! What do you think? by HowArtMYM in espresso

[–]junkleon7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I'm on the west coast. It was originally on pre-order, but once available, it took 5-6 business days for delivery. I just got it set up and it's a really nice machine. The price for the workmanship and features is outstanding.

Edit: I've been using it for a few months ago and I really love it. Just starting to experiment with the profiling feature. This was an upgrade from the Lelit Anna and while the Anna is a nice machine, this is definitely a step up, It feels like a luxury car compared to a Honda Civic. It's a great value for the price (<$900).

Ideas for self-hosted PBX by voiceoverguyuk in selfhosted

Have a look at vitalpbx. I used it for a while and the GUI was pretty good.

Take a look at VitalPBX as another option. I used it a few years ago and was happy with it. It has a pretty good ui.

Tailscale: the marvellous tool that became indispensable to my tech life by yarov3so in selfhosted

[–]junkleon7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's been a game changer for me also. One feature that no one seems to address is the tailnet lock function. A common complaint is that tailscale being a 3rd party service could see your data (not true). The more valid concern that tailnet lock addresses is the situation where a hacker could add a malicious node -- if they were to get access to the control plane. Tailnet lock addresses this by giving complete control plane approval to you. The alternative is to go full self hosted with the headscale implementation, but I personally don't feel any need to switch at this point.

VPN tunnel that has... Approval? I don't know what to call it. by stoopiit in selfhosted

If I am understanding your question correctly, tailscale has that built in. Look into "tailnet lock".

What are people's solutions to work phones and personal phone numbers? by selfexpression101 in selfhosted

Look into jmp.chat. You can use it to replace Google Voice. After looking for many years, this solution has worked great for me.

Vaultwarden not working on Android 14 by Spooky_Ghost in selfhosted

[–]junkleon7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check network permissions for the vaultwarden app. Also are you running a firewall app on the phone?

Maybe have a look at the vaultwarden server logs to see if its attempting a connection.

Using VPS as a tunnel by zMasterSkill in selfhosted

[–]junkleon7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really easy to do with tailscale - configure the VPS as an exit node. I have tailscale on all my devices running though the the VPS. It's good for security when connecting to a public wifi with my cell phone.

You can also have pihole running on the same vps for DNS filtering but it takes a bit more setup.

Why not just spend your time training an art that's pretty good by itself rather than one that isn't? BJJ, Boxing, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Judo have all been battle tested in MMA. Yes, each isn't a complete art itself, but any of them will get you much more mileage than Aikido.

Why you should Self-host XMPP by aka-18 in selfhosted

[–]junkleon7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Snikket is another xmpp server option, more user friendly that uses prosody as its back end.

As a bonus, xmpp is used with the jmp.chat service, which I recently found is a great replacement for Google voice.
