At least on Android, you can make TTS go through your alarm channel on your phone at max volume, to really make sure you don’t miss it. I do this for my alarm and doorbell (only when I’m at home).

Crontab to just auto reboot daily is probably better - if your PC becomes unresponsive I doubt it would be able to execute another script on top of everything. Ideally though, you’d do some log diving and figure out the cause.

That’s not specific (or true) though, there are plenty of active niche communities, especially those for localities. Which communities would you like to be more active?

Funeral potatoes are the one food I miss from Utah. The ultimate comfort food.

I got a NUC on ebay for about the same price, maybe a little less. Has more I/O and an SSD.

Rivian hasn’t yet adopted NACS, these are CCS.

I think he’s probably a dick but his insults always crack me up.

Yep, I just got local county fiber installed because Comcast would go down twice a day, at least. On top of that, I was paying out the ass for shitty upload speed and to remove the 1.2TB data cap. The local ISPs are about $60/mo for 1 gig up and down, compared to Comcast’s $130/month for 1 “gig” down and 30 meg up.

I’ve noticed the same wave hitting Mastodon as well.

Internet should be public like many other utilities.

If they eventually do have a search engine, it definitely can’t be trusted. GPT-4 loves to hallucinate.

Yeah, but the point of this post is to not have to replace the drives frequently in the first place. I run ZFS myself but I’m not about to buy cheap drives just because I can get away with it.

ZFS won’t save you the expense of having to replace crappy storage.

Pretty much anything “gaming” branded won’t be worth it. These days it seems to just mean “cheaper quality with RGB”.

There were people getting variable rate mortgages when fixed rates were at record lows? I guess I’ve just never understood the appeal of variable rate, either. I don’t want my mortgage to fluctuate, makes it more difficult to budget.

By stacking do you mean combining units to form a single stronger unit? If so, Civ 6 has that, albeit only up to three units.

Can you share your redacted frigate config?

I use scenes to control my lights and use those in my automations instead. This lets me create “groups” of lights to control.

Spoiler: it won’t be $25,000.
