yup. I haven’t done it yet, but apparently ceiling fan controllers are a pretty standard thing, so usually all you really have to do is replace the whole controller box (they’re like $30 apiece from what I remember), or replace the controller board itself like you mentioned.

I’ve stopped buying appliances from places like Home Depot for this reason, seems like they simply do not stock items that aren’t their brand-name cloud-hosted services, or larger brands like hue.

Huh, it works great on my android os Nvidia shield

My parents and school administrators’ attempts at blocking unsanctioned activities is what taught me computer literacy

There was nothing quite as satisfying as getting caught opening addictinggames on a web browser through a proxy when the teacher was convinced they had blocked it completely.

I thought about it, but I have a couple other services that could benefit from getting dedicated gpu anyway. Might as well just save for a proper PCIE card.

cool, i might try it

I wanted to get a dedicated card for video transcription anyway, but it’s good to know I don’t necessarily need it.

I’m curious what you’re doing with frigate/ how you’re doing it without a graphics card?

I’ve been using it for object detection, but i had to install it on my workhorse because my server doesn’t have a graphics card. I suppose it doesn’t need one if you’re not doing ml processing, but I’m still curious

Characterizing that as ‘unawareness’ is a little too charitable, I think.

Tldr - selfhosting is useful when:

• you need a lot of storage

• you need a lot of processing

• you are collaborating with multiple people/family members

• you are sharing media with other people outside your network

• you are sharing media across devices

• you want a standalone backup independent of your mobile device without doing so manually

• you want more advanced AI features that are not feasible to do on device (such as image detection or live security camera object detection)

• you want your home IOT devices to work locally without a cloud connection

• you have old hardware collecting dust and want to put it to use

• you like to make things

Seems like you might have understood the purpose of those apps, you just didn’t personally have those needs yourself, and that’s fine

Lol well this was fun but I have better things to do

The private password is on GitHub in plain text.

Right because that’s a completely normal thing to do

Lmao, you’ll have to do better than “experts see discrepancies in the data”, because that’s what Mike Lindell had, too.

Remote access code + the private admin password + the code to flip the votes

If this were even true, why would they put it on github, let alone with the password in plain text. Lol Jesus christ do you have any idea how ridiculous this theory is?

I don’t much go for self-indulgent fantasies, thanks.

edit: i feel like this is like someone seeing a magic trick and immediately being convinced wizards are real.

Why would a clandestine foreign agent publish malware on a public code repository? Some random reddit user claims to have found a repo on github that uses a publicly known username tied to a politically embroiled tech company and now we’re supposed to believe it was used to falsify an entire electoral system?

It doesn’t even pass the sniff test bud, what credibility are we supposed to lend to these anonymous users?

Do you have any evidence that isn’t based on the assumption that democratic voters simply wouldn’t split their vote? Or the assumption that people wouldn’t just vote for president and not any other offices?

Like, IP logs or recount discrepancies? Evidence of malware on the machines? Anything other than “this looks implausible”?

difference between the nonsense Trump pushed out and this

Trump and his allies cited exactly the same kind of ‘anomalous voting trends’ as evidence of vote manipulation. Unless you have something more substantive than ‘these ballots don’t look like we expected them to’ then this is exactly the same kind of non-evidence MAGA had.

The biden administration was exceptionally unpopular. Anti-Kamala democratic voters have been very clear about why they didn’t vote for her. Rather than reckoning with their complete unpopularity, democrats would rather blame their loss on ‘woke’ politics and vote manipulation.

After 4 years of liberals laughing away MAGA conspiracies about hacked voting machines in the 2020 election, suddenly those concerns are very serious and very real?

I haven’t seen anything in the way of actual evidence something nefarious happened here, except some hefty speculation about split ticket voting and a couple vague (but entirely on-brand) comments from Trump.

It’s just funny to me that liberals are unironically repeating the same baseless accusations that chuds were for the last 4 years without much more in the way of evidence (if any at all)

Evidence of Election Hacking

The lack of self-awareness here is absolutely astounding.

Is the reason you advocate avoiding VPN dependencies simply due to downtime if the tailscale service fails? Or is there a particular security vulnerability associated with using VPN subnets?

A massive, comprehensive data privacy law would’ve covered the TikTok base and any software by any other threat

That’s assuming the ban is motivated by privacy reasons, but i don’t think it is. It’s far more likely that it’s because the US has no control over the platform’s algorithm, which they fear is feeding Americans media and perspectives that are antithetical to their foreign policy objectives (Blinken and Romney have both stated as much).

A US buyer would be more friendly/responsive to US regulatory influence. That’s the only reason this isn’t a privacy bill instead of a ban or forced sale.

Yea, they were comparing tiktok to other american-owned social media sites, which are guilty of exactly the same thing themselves.

Any site that doesn’t explicitly push anti chinese content is going to look like a pro-chinese bias
