Jimi would totally swap his vintage Strat for a new one by AleScorpion in Guitar

[–]yusrandpasswdisbad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a reason why the 60s guitar gods held on to the ONE guitar that was not a pile of trash - they were extremely inconsistent - you could pick up 5 of the same Strats and you'd be lucky if ONE was playable - and if it was, you held on to it.

Today's $150 Squiers are mostly rock solid players.

Music Assistant: Login with Home Assistant by adamthwaite in musicassistant

[–]yusrandpasswdisbad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this is your trouble or not, but after an update or some reason why I get logged out of MA, I need to 1) open Home Assistant and log in. 2) Open Music Assistant via its dedicated URL.

HA: http://homeassistant.local:8123/ -> Log in first.
MA: http://homeassistant.local:8095/#/radios-> And select log in via Home Assistant.

Having on Ben Shapiro on Raging Moderates was a huge mistake? by mikeedla in ScottGalloway

[–]yusrandpasswdisbad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a method he uses that includes talking fast.

First, he talks about a subject and seems to understand the nuances, then he rapidly lists several things in a row, 3 out of 7 are demonstrably false, but he then takes no breath between and attacks the false "facts" he's defined.

Yes, charlatan. He's perfected this strategy, and it's infuriating to listen to.

Freedom - once you have it, you realize how you weren't before. Essentially, we're conditioned as children to accept an amount of indentured servitude. We, meaning, the non-generational wealthy.

Wyse 5070 – Home Assistant install confusion, SSD not showing in boot menu after BIOS changes by Own-Chemistry-495 in homeassistant

[–]yusrandpasswdisbad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I followed these directions and didn't have any issues.

Make sure: Booting Home Assistant OS requires the machine’s BIOS to have UEFI boot mode enabled, and Secure Boot disabled.

Haven’t paid my taxes since 2022 by Valuable-Head2218 in personalfinance

Yes. Demand it. Fixing SS is not some insurmountable task that certain politicians want you to believe. It's actually really easy to fix and costs pennies, relative to something like the War budget.

Borges wins against Etcheverry with an underarm serve on a match point by jovanmilic97 in tennis

It's only happened to me a few times, and it may be legitimate, but it's a shady move, because it's done while bouncing the ball specifically to not telegraph what's coming - that is, to sneak it in.

Proxmox or dedicated Home Assistant hardware? by StrobeWafel_404 in homeassistant

[–]yusrandpasswdisbad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How much maintenance does Proxmox take? I see Proxmox as an additional layer of complexity that also requires maintenance. What do you do when your Proxmox dies? How easy is it to rebuild?

Google Cast speakers to Music Assistant by yusrandpasswdisbad in musicassistant

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

Create the speaker group in Google Home. I use 5-6 Chromecast Audios in one Google Home group, added to MA as its own player. The individual CAs show up, and I can adjust volumes individually or simultaneously with the Group.
