Thank you for the informative posts! I've always wanted to write an MMO but the time investment cost for me never seemed worth it for being someone who only pretends to be a game dev (and with so many other projects on my list, hard to justify the cost). I appreciate the look into the dev process over the long period of time.
Thank you for your work!
I was in a panic when Snips was bought up. After some research I landed on Rhasspy as my new local-first digital assistant, and it's been fantastic. Been using it for a few years now with satellites around the house with the 'brain' running on a VM. Even have a Siri shortcut which transcripts my speech input then makes an HTTP request to 'brain' instance so that I can use Rhasspy even if not around a satellite instance. This even works over my VPN!
It would be much nicer if I can just backup my iPhone to my nas (which I use for my Mac's Time Machine target) which is always online and available over a vpn rather than have to pull out my mbp to do a backup.
I think Kodi has made amazing progress. I've not had issues getting it installed on different devices since the 15.x days. Currently run it on 4 different dedicated devices in my apartment as well as some mobile and media devices.
> The docs on how to do simple things seem to be nonexistant because they don't want to be sued and shutdown entirely.
What docs are you looking for? They have a very extensive wiki as well as an active community on their own forum.
I don't know if this will be helpful to you but an open source media player, Kodi, recently added support for Netflix in the latest version of the app (by implementing a DRM engine for people to use).
Thanks! I would def love to read your posts about this.
I have a 3d printer at home that i picked up a couple years ago, so I know how much of a time sink these things could be. Regardless, every time I print something, it makes up for all the lost time/money.
I've been looking for a home PCB machine and would appreciate any recommendations on what to look at or what to avoid.
I've been told multiple times that it's easier to just have a service print your board which is probably true, but that would take a lot of fun out of the entire process for me.
I've been eyeballing the CNC 3018 Pro for a few weeks now. I would appropriate any input you have on the device. Pros/cons/alternatives I should look at. Anything!
>I wish they'd just drop the idea of external monitor support.
One of the biggest selling points for me is the external monitor support. Of course this phone isn't going to have features like carplay/android auto (and coming from carplay, I would be very sad to lose this functionality) but since this phone has a way to connect an external display, I plan on doing something to plug my phone into my car's head unit (via hdmi) and have it display GPS maps and possibly media player (through kodi).
Looking forward to having the freedom to do whatever I want (hopefully) with this phone!!
Been using snips in 3 different rooms in my home for about a year now, hooked into home assistant, with many custom actions that I specifically made for my apartment. I LOVE being able to control my apartment without the need for the internet.
Too bad local control seems to be a luxury these days, rather than the standard.
