But what’s the point of downvoting on Lemmy? It doesn’t seem to affect visibility. Or maybe there’s a setting somewhere I need to adjust?

Exactly. Post it to a Programming forum because… you know, computers and stuff.

The most important thing is to buy whole beans and grind them right before use. All of the flavor compounds will be fresh.

I still don’t understand the point of downvoting here since it doesn’t seem to affect visibility. You’ll have the dumbest take on something sitting there at -36 and I still have to look at it.

I’m on both. If you only want to follow techies, go with Mastodon. If you want to follow non-techies or celebrities or whatever, go with Bluesky.

I have pihole running on an old Raspberry Pi B and it just chugs along. Except for the wonky update they put out a few months ago. That took some cleaning up after.
I check the dashboard a few times a day and it’s a good way to notice network issues and misbehaving programs.
I’m also running it through cloudflared to encrypt the requests, in case my ISP is snooping on them.

Windows with PythonWin (like IDLE) for most stuff, VSCode for vibe coding, even though I haven’t explored it much. I still need to figure out how to get local coding models running so I can compare them to whatever online AI comes with VS.
Plus a Mac with TextMate.

It displays fine by default, but the image only updates every several seconds. I’m talking about a live video feed, which needs some kind of special frame which has to be bolted onto HA somehow.

I haven’t, that’s the problem. It seems like it’s possible, but I’ve given up trying for the moment.

I have a Reolink PoE camera. It works fine. As far as I can tell, it only uses the internet to check for updates and set the time, but I have it blocked off anyway. Home Assistant was actually causing it to check for updates, too, so that got disabled.
I don’t record, so I can’t help you there.
I will say that is a pain to get Home Assistant to display real-time video instead of a slide show.

my $1,000 festool vacuum.

Ahem. Dust Extractor

Right? Has this ever worked for anyone? I’ve never bothered because of how easy it is for spammers to bypass.

Bitwarden Authenticator because Bitwarden seems to have a good reputation. I don’t use their password manager, though.
It does seem faintly insecure that it displays all of the codes at once on one page, but I’m having trouble imagining a scenario where it’s actually a problem.

Ah, the ol’ Skyrim Space Program.

I have a Reolink PoE camera. It’s plugged into Home Assistant, and some setting in the integration had it phoning home constantly looking for updates. I turned that off and now it only connects outside of my network to sync the time.
The camera has survived outside for a few years now, so no complaints.

Home Assistant for viewing

Heads up: by default, HA does not show real-time, full-framerate video - just a snapshot that updates every 10 seconds or whatever. As with all things open source, there is a way to fix it, but you have to faff around. I haven’t bothered yet, but it’s on my list.

Sonarr + Picard

Do you mean Lidarr? Sonarr is the TV one (confusingly).

WHEN YOU SEE THE WHITE WHALE

I use a Pi running LibreElec and it can be controlled by my LG TV down the HDMI cable. It’s the CEC protocol. Look into that.
