I just switched over to using heroic launcher from lutris, its prettier and a smoother setup IMO. I have had issues as well installing some games from fitgirl, the install always failed. However they would install on windows just fine. So I did that then copied over the install files to my Linux hard drive and setup them up in heroic launcher.

I've only had to do this with 3 games from fitgirl, maybe I'm missing something but I could not get these 3 games to install on linux. This is why I keep a hard drive with windows installed on it :)

I just bought a 58" TCL TV with roku built in and could not get it to work with homeassistant. It would go offline after 20 minutes of being powered off. I have my IOT devices in a clan with no internet access but I decided to update the TV and it still didn't work.

What I found out I had to do was update the TV AND create a roku account so that this would finish the update. I then finally had the fast startup option and enabling that it works now! Even with internet access blocked again.

Hopefully this helps someone else.

This ^^ I thought this whole controversy was because they don't support the HA nix package BUT when people use it and their HA instance breaks.....they go to homeassistant support... Doesn't sound like a dictator but just saying they don't support that nix package etc. ?

Use the jellyfin kodi addon works very smoothly. I've been using it for two years and love it. I replaced all my chromecasts with kodi. It even has the approval of my wife.

If you try to browse to the tailscale website does it work?

If it does you could setup tailscale with an exit node at your house and tunnel your connection that way? Everything would then be coming from your home internet. I have had good success with tailscale being able to punch a hole through some pretty filtered firewalls.

Remind me what he has actually done?

I have all reolink cameras. I put them in a separate vlan with no internet access or DNS just LAN access. They are by far my favourite and already have tight integration support in home assistant.

I just picked up a banglejs 2 and I love it. I was using a galaxy smart watch 5 but didn't work without gapps on my lineage phone. Its obviously not as good as the Samsung smart watch but I've been super happy with it. No creating accounts, getting tokens etc. Just pair it via Bluetooth and gadget bridge and you are good to go. Its a little pricey but for open source watch its awesome, I've heard good things about pinetime as well.

I don't really get the rub here, JM all for separating work devices and personal devices but the 2fa apps don't leak any info and the company can't "do" anything to your phone remotely. The apps work in air plane mode. I also want to bet more than half the users that complain about this use the companies free WiFi.

Get a flip phone and say you can't install it, however SMS 2fa is very insecure.

I've recently setup radicale using docker compose(tomsquestrwdicale-docker) and it works great I just can't get it to be accessible over the internet via my nginx proxy manager. Can somebody shed some light on what I need to do to get it working?

I've added the nginx code as stated in the docs to the advanced tab in NPM but still nothing.

The real problem for me is the fact this could have been implemented at launch....no reason not to except it would just hurt sales. How many people actually read the fine print of all the games they buy? I would never expect to create a PSN account if I'm playing on PC. Just sneaky dirty tactics not to mention the whole point of this is not to ban players easily its so Sony can suck up that data..

Man I really really hate the state of gaming right now....pay to win, in game currency, DLCs, half ass games made... I liked this game but this is by far stupid and makes no sense for me to continue playing. I honestly shouldn't have to worry about "account linking" when buying a game on steam.

This feels like a bait and switch, why wasnt this mandatory and upfront from the beginning? They knew that would hurt sales.....

I listened to a podcast 2 years ago that explained the history of covid/vaccines and where covid came from. I really wish I could remember what it was called but it was fantastic, I sent it to my family members who were anti-vax

Good riddance, literally overwatch 1 game with more .icro transactions. Not to mention they took down overwatch 1 so you can't play it anymore.... not to me tonight the co-op was suppose to come out and be free they said nope we aren't doing it, then they did it and it's a paid feature as far as I know now. Blizzard is the worst
