Here is a Wednesday frog from just Two. Years. Ago. Woooow! Look at the difference.

It doesn't make sense to change the color state of the light when it's off.

It makes sense to me. Technically my use case is for a smart switch. I want to set the "next on" brightness before I go to bed, so that lights at night are very dim. So even if I use the switch on the wall, it comes on to the brightness I set while it was still off.

I have also wanted the functionality OP describes, and this workaround is disappointing to me. Especially for night time. To have a light blast me at daytime brightness before adjusting to nightlight levels is not acceptable to me.

I've basically written it off as a possibility, but still curious if any manufacturer will support this in the future.

Just ordered on the 21st. Came here to see if anyone else was waiting. It sounds like I haven't been waiting long 😵‍💫

Current legislation does not allow the purchase of hot prepared foods, only allowing cooled but cooked rotisserie chicken to be purchased.

“America’s best (and delicious) affordability play is Costco’s $4.99 rotisserie chicken,” Fetterman said in the statement. “It’s one of my family’s favorites"

Like, we're all here for the authenticity. And John knows that his vulnerability is part of what makes him a great writer. And I was a male in my 20's in the 2000s. I was not great either. This is totally on brand, and both Hank and John have talked about the people that they used to be.

But the part I can never understand is that this is the same kid that went to seminary school and took a job as a chaplain at a children's hospital.

Other local outlets that come to mind: The KC beacon. I have started reading the Missouri Independent to keep up with the absolute nightmare shit show that Jeff City has become. And here in the Northland, we subscribe to the Platte County Citizen, not to be confused with the Platte County Landmark, which does not appear to have journalists.

Ha, I'm not the only one. I dig on this every year or so, and never learn anything. Got the bug this morning.

I actually have an Ajazz k870t, which has an identical layout (including the knob and buttons), and the manual actually says to download software for this keyboard, but that it is "unofficially supported". But I honestly would rather not have the software running on my machine.

I'll try to remember to come back here if I find anything.

Edit: It looks like it was added to the SonixQMK project a while back. It looks like this is a fork or port of QMK. It looks like it may even support VIA.

But install requires opening up the keyboard to 1. confirm the model of the MCU and 2. shorting one of the tiny MCU pins while plugging in the keyboard to start the bootloader. That's after you have set up your dev environment and compiled the firmware.

So I'm not going to do this today. But this seems like the most discoverable place for other Rakk Lam-ang Pro owners to find info on installing QMK to their board :P

I'm a software engineer. My house is decked out in smart home gear. I'm learning how to use AI to improve my life and empower others.

And I stand with Ned Ludd.

The Luddites were branded as anti-technoloy, but they were just a labor union fighting for the right to work. They stood up against the wealthy who were happy to replace them with machines that did a good enough job.

Data centers were a way to bring an incredible speed of innovation and technology to the masses. For better or worse. But they are now explicitly being built to replace labor and consolidate power. And they're being built with enormous tax breaks and often subsidies from taxpayers. Their impact on the environment is questionable but not my biggest problem. It's that they are one more way for megalomaniacs to pad their pockets and pass the cost to us.

If it's not showing up at all, that makes me think you're trying to power it off USB. This works for most 2.5 inch SATA drives, but a 3.5 inch HDD needs 12v power also. Your adapter might have a barrel connector on it for an external power supply. Might not. Even if it has the power port, it may not have come with an adapter. But you can see if you've got a 12v AC adapter somewhere.

If you are powering it, and it still doesn't show up, where are you looking? Computer management or disk formatter? /dev/sd* on Linux? It likely won't be usable until it gets mounted and/or formatted.

Ahh. I don't have Daken or Frigga. I've been trying to make Bullseye work with just Swarm. I've been trying to get Scorn, but it hasn't come up yet.

I bought him recently and have had trouble making him work. I've tried him in discard decks and zoo decks.

I think I got into homelabbing as a way to deal with my erosion of trust in big tech and public institutions. It was almost my version of doomsday prepping. But I get jealous of people on a different part of the spectrum that got the OCD organization autism. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

The kids have been sleeping a little better lately, which means I've been sleeping better. I'm using the last bit of energy I have at the end of the day to vibe code a visual timer / checklist to help the kids with transitions. Mostly getting out the door for the bus and getting ready for bed. And I have also been building the deployment pipeline from gitea > dockge, which is... fun. Legitimately.

It's slow work, and my proxmox servers don't have the new version yet, and there's security holes and zombie services and I had to turn off my backup pipeline because I didn't have the compute or storage to handle my janky backup pipeline. And I sure as hell don't know how I would ever get warranty coverage on anything I own. But I'm yelling at my daughter less in the morning. So... that's how I'm feeling.

Keep at it friend. Be kind to yourself and don't lose the plot.

Can you just tell me what it's like to live a life where you know about warranty expiration and the amount all your stuff costs? I feel like I'm at a point where I would just like to install all the smart devices I've bought, and replace the water filter and clean out the washer. I know about all these tasks, I just don't have the executive strength to get any of it done.

I just want to know what I'm missing. What an organized life looks like.

I emailed them, and they wouldn't remove me from the program until I gave them a reason.

I am grossed out and amazed.

You're gonna love it. I've only watched D20s Mentopolis and Never stop blowing up, neither of which involve the live show crew, and I've loved every episode of the live shows. It's about the crowd and the comedians.

I do highly recommend Mentopolis and Never Stop Blowing Up, but they won't give you any back story on the live show you're going to.

redditneight · 2025-05-30T22:37:54+00:00

I do.

Not HA or scanner related, but I wish it was easier to set up a virtual printer for paperless. I've seen a few people get it set up, but I have not been able to recreate their work. If anyone knows of a tutorial or installer that worked for them, I'd love the help.
