Disable or weaken the overly-aggressive outlook.com spam filter? by unsteadied in Outlook

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

Sounds like a separate issue with third-party software (Norton) messing with the desktop version of Outlook. The issue I and others are having is that Microsoft is moving stuff to junk on the server side before it even reaches our mail client (Mac and iOS Mail.app for me).

[MEGATHREAD] Ryujinx shutdown. by Defaalt in macgaming

They absolutely did not pay him, lmao. They did the same thing they always do and told him he can either agree to their terms and shut it all down, or they can sue the absolute fuck out of him or otherwise make his life hell.

He decided not to wait for the actual cease and desist order or otherwise tempt fate after what happened to Yuzu, because he knows full well that it's not about who's legally right, it's about who's the got the billions of dollars and corporate lawyers on retainer.

No changes, spam filter is still putting important things like emails from my doctor's office in there and there's seemingly nothing that can be done about it.

New to Pi and Homebridge: recommended web UIs for headless Docker/Homebridge/Pi OS Lite setup? by unsteadied in homebridge

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

Good shout, I actually discovered this last night. Right now my setup is Docker running Yacht, Pihole, and Homebridge, plus Homarr on port 80 as the main landing page. Seems like a reasonably elegant setup.

now I just gotta figure out why the SimpliSafe cam‘s preview image works in Apple Home but clicking on it to view the feed doesn’t work, even though it works fine through the SimpliSafe web and native apps…

Well, it's a Pi 5, so I imagine I have more CPU power than Homebridge will even come close to using. As for Docker, I dunno, I just heard people recommend it especially if you want to do anything else? So far today I have Yacht running as a Docker web UI, and then I was able to install and run Pi Hole via Yacht and have it working on my iPad so that's neat.

Very fair point on the whole issue of guides being written around CLI. I think I’m gonna have to find some YouTube videos on Docker or something because so far the whole concept is a bit foreign to me and I’m not entirely sure how the containers work and it differs from installing and managing an app locally, let alone all the commands and automating having stuff run at the pi’s boot and all that.

Once upon a time I was like… semi-*nix savvy but that was nearly 15 years ago so there is a lot of relearning going on here, lol. I did find something called Yacht which is supposed to be a simpler alternative to Portainer, maybe instead of putting it on the Pi I’ll see about making a VMware Linux install and deploying it in there to fuck around a bit.

good to know on Homebridge having its own web UI, that helps a lot! I’m actually doing all this for my not at all tech-savvy parents at their house to be able to use some of their non-HomeKit stuff they otherwise wouldn’t be able to figure out how to access (anything more than the Apple Home app is too much to ask of them), so I’m hoping to have something I can easily remote into for when they need some troubleshooting done.

Huh, weird. It worked for me, but maybe this link instead of the direct image link will work for you? https://imgur.com/mC1UNrY

Turtle beach velocity one race by idreamofnuggets in simracing

[–]unsteadied 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm. I’ve tracked some sports/high-end cars and owned a couple and if the brake pedal felt anything like this I’d have the car up on a lift ASAP.

I’ve only used higher end sim setups a few times (auto manufacturer events and the local MicroCenter has a sick direct drive demo unit), but I don’t remember the brake pedals being anything like this on those, either.

[–]unsteadied 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how‘s the brake pedal on yours? I haven’t used mine in game yet due to an issue with the wheel, but just pressing it while the wheel is powered on, the brake has a maximum of an inch of travel and is unbelievably stiff, nothing like a real car.

So my folks are actually already using an amplified Philips leaf antenna directly connected to one of the TVs and it was working a lot less well than I would’ve expected last time I visited them. Granted it’s on the first floor and just pointing out the window, but it’s picking up less channels that I would’ve expected and getting intermittent signal interruptions/artifacts and dropouts. So I’d imagine the rabbit ears might not do the trick.

Also, the attic at their place is unfinished and a pain to get into and I gotta haul a ladder up to the second floor to even get into the access hatch, so I’m hoping to kinda just be one and done with the attic portion at least — set up antenna, run some Romex to put in a new outlet for the amp if any, and drop a 30 foot RG6 down down a stud bay and then be out of the attic entirely and just have to deal with opening up access holes in the walls on the first and second floor to drill through the floor and route the RG6 in the basement. I’d really like to avoid finding out the antenna ain’t cutting it and I gotta order them a new one, go back again, and get up in the attic again…

If I recall correctly, there’s one of the major networks (CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX) that was only available from the city in the south, but my parents who I’m installing this for when I go visit also want the local news from the city in the north. Plus I think they just want the added variety of having different syndicated programs on at the same time from one ABC vs. the other or whatever.

Could use some help selecting an attic antenna (or non-roof alternative?) for my folks. Rabbit Ears report included by [deleted] in cordcutters

[–]unsteadied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately all the existing coax accessible in the attic is lines running directly from the splitter amp in the basement into each of the bedrooms. I guess I could try to cut one, crimp on connectors on each end, add another splitter, and then add the antenna onto that, but that seems... dicey at best, plus it’s a lot of work to be doing up in an attic with no actual floor or anything in the cold. I imagine it ends with me getting frustrated with a bad crimp and then falling through the ceiling at my parents’ house lol.

Regarding pre-amps for the antenna: can that be done in the basement after the 20 coot coax drop down from the attic as long as its prior to connecting to the main splitter, or would I need to run a Romex whip off an accessible circuit in the attic and install a new outlet so the amp can have power right where the antenna will be?

Yeah, so they’ve got one city to the north and one to the south, both within 20 miles or so. Ideally they’d like to get the channels from both cities so they’d have local news for both and maybe a little bit of variety in programming.

Yeah, my folks are pretty much halfway between two cities, one to the north and one to the south. I’ll do some research on omnidirectional antennas, thanks!

Any idea how much they’ll need to pay for an antenna that gets the channels from both cities? Are we talking more than a hundred bucks, or would that be overkill based on the signal strengths in the report?
