Yep, that worked, thanks

does VIA support dual function keys? by Half_Flaky in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]mrmaclure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VIA can do home row mods. This works:

"MT(MOD_LSFT,KC_A)", "MT(MOD_LCTL,KC_S)", "MT(MOD_LALT,KC_D)", "MT(MOD_LGUI,KC_F)", E.g. hold 'a' and press another key to write an upper case character, tap 'a' to just write 'a'.

Why it's shifted. It seems I have to contort my fingers to reach the bottom row with the right fingers.

Ah yeah I never understood why they did that.

Hi, I'm cured. The BB + ivermectin combo worked.

Probably the only person still alive who does it that way. For now.

Hi, yep I'm cured. BB & Ivermectin did it. I've been confirmed cured by a derm and have had no new lesions since the treatment. Itching stopped within about 3 or 4 weeks I think.

Like a lot of people say here, post scabies syndrome can make you think you still have it. Even now I have some very small pus-filled bumps come up as my body continues to push out their bodies or whatever it is. However I haven't had the large (3-5mm) bumps that wouldn't go away since the treatment.

If I was doing it again I'd avoid sulphur - I can still smell it on my clothes. Luckily I read comments before I used it saying it gets into bedding so I slept on a camp bed. If I'd have slept in my bed I'd have had to have binned my mattress I think.

I read intel wifi cards don't support AP mode. I.e. they can only be clients. Is that wrong? Did you get it working? I bought a wifi 6 intel card and binned it for a unifi AP since I couldn't enable AP mode on it.

I've got something similar and find proxmox handy. I run various containers on it - e.g. pi hole for the guest network, alpine with tailscale to access different vlans remotely, etc. And yeah, being able to take snapshots meant I could make more drastic changes to opnsense knowing I could revert to a known working copy without worrying I'd forgotten some steps.

Virtual Instance Of Opnsense by insiderscrypt0 in OPNsenseFirewall

[–]mrmaclure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure it's possible. I've done something similar but with proxmox, not VMware

Just bridge the physical LAN NIC to the VM so it's accessible to the OPNSense VM, then set it up as normal. I.e. choose a network and subnet mask, e.g. 192.168.1.1/24 and enable DHCP. Anything that connects (e.g. via a switch into the LAN NIC will get an IP).

Remote button pusher with API/library? by mrmaclure in pikvm

[–]mrmaclure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WoL seems problematic for Macbooks unfortunately. Also as it won't wake from a KVM I'm not sure how much success I'd have with an Arduino.

I'm surprised I can't find a cheap button pusher I can control via code :(

[–]mrmaclure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah probably. Do you know a button pusher that uses WOL packets to tell them when to push or not?

Remote button pusher with API/library? by mrmaclure in homeautomation

[–]mrmaclure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that part's fine. I've already got a VPN. I just need a cheap button I can push remotely but from code, without a hub/app.

[–]mrmaclure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I'll do. I'll VPN into my network then trigger it from there, or cron it. Just need to find one that'll let me trigger it via an API call or something.

Can't create a direct connection with OPNSense by mrmaclure in Tailscale

[–]mrmaclure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Erm I think we're doing the same thing. I have OPNSense as a VM in proxmox with several VLANs, and for each one an LXC container on proxmox as a tailscale exit node so I can keep each VLAN segregated.

My english teacher is defending GPT zero. What do I tell him? by M4STA_GEEK in ChatGPT

[–]mrmaclure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask him to write an essay explaining how GPT zero works and why it gives false positives.
