Step up in this motherfucker just a-swingin' my hair.

Probably not exactly what you have in mind, but I'd still recommend The Reality Dysfunction (and the other two books in the Night's Dawn Trilogy) by Peter F Hamilton.

Can anyone recommend a good Android network audio stream client?

VLC works but is too full-featured. I want to set up a couple of bookmarks, open the app and start/stop/view metadata.

Thanks!

Most things by Snow Tha Product - start with 'Butter' or 'No Cap In My Captions'.

I wish you the very best, internet stranger. Be yourself.

Has anyone seen a wireless charger that also has a USB outlet port?

The objective is to wirelessly charge a phone overnight, but at some bedtimes/lazy mornings I want to use my device when it's low on battery so require a cable.

Current solution: don't bother with wireless. Another solution - use a dual outlet charger (or two chargers), one cable to the pad and a spare.

The reason I can't find one is probably because manufacturers need to deal with power requirements if a user tries to use pad and outlet at the same time, or has to turn one outlet off if the other is in use.

Lowest latency input (self.homeassistant)
submitted 2 years ago by Sim to c/homeassistant@lemmy.world

I'm using a ZigBee button to call an automation which notifies via Pushover and Alexa. Works fine.

I'd like to reduce latency and use a physical button. I can use a Pi, ESP32 or similar to respond to a closure and tell HA.

What's the lowest latency input to HA? My MQTT server is separate so I'm thinking an HTTP post direct into HA might be best.

Is there anything faster? HTTP is fast enough in my testing, it's an experiment as much as anything else.

I'm running Docker on Ubuntu server; around 50 containers running, most admin via Portainer. Configuration files and small databases for container applications are stored on the local SSD, media and larger files are stored on a NAS.

NAS data and the container folders are backed up.

I have a second identical machine doing nothing. What would you recommend researching to add resilience to this setup? Top priority is quick and easy restoration should the SSD fail - everything else is relatively easy to replace.

I'll create an SSD RAID but I like the idea of a second host.

I've found Summit the best for me, personally, on Android. I've been able to configure it closest to how I used RIF which is what I wanted.

Hi everyone

I've got a capable Ubuntu server hosting Docker, using Portainer to manage many stacks and containers. I'm about to add a couple machines to a swarm for a little fault-tolerance.

Before this, Docker was Windows hosted which gave me a useful addition; a handy remote desktop for those times when I wanted to do something remotely using a GUI at home.

https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/rdesktop seems to work OK but I wondered if the community here have any suggested alternatives. Instead of running within Docker, has anyone simply installed a GUI on the Ubuntu host?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Nothingness for general anaesthesia. Sedation for dental work was awesome: IV midazolam. Off to sleep just like GA but woke up at some point, super happy and relaxed. Waking up was like a long sleep. I loved it so much I asked if I could come in again for that without the operation. Turns out, no, that's not a thing. Shame.

And sugar. Off topic a bit, but my addiction is sugar and some reminders might make the occasional difference.

For me, they're too fat when folded and too big when open. I don't like the feeling of the crease, and the technology needs time to prove how reliable it'll be in the real world.

RIF was Reddit for me.

[-] Sim 9 points 3 years ago

No. I habitually opened RIF so I removed the icon and replaced it with Jerboa, and I've found, thanks to the smaller scale, that I move on to something else or read a book sooner.

Doesn't take long to move on really.

I'm hoping the fediverse will take off once it's easier to find communities to add to favourites. It'd be good to find things like ELI5 and AMA appear.
