Tippon,

Devices that you already own (PCs, smartphones, tablets, Fire TV devices, and smart TVs) can become your gaming devices, and Luna also supports peripherals that you already own, such as Xbox One and PlayStation 4 controllers, and mouse + keyboard.

This is the part that interests me the most. I’ve got a handful of controllers that I’ve tried using with my phone in the past with not much luck. If they work with Luna, I’ve instantly got a decent library of games to play anywhere :)

Tippon,

From what I remember, they get their nutrition from the various tubes and implants, but Seven had to eat the nutritional supplements because she’d been disconnected from the Borg and had most of her implants removed, and her digestive system wasn’t capable of eating proper food yet.

S05E18 where Quark becomes an arms dealer when he’s struggling for money. His cousin Galen sets him up as a salesman, and the other guy in the picture is Galen’s boss

Tippon,

That’s what I’m doing at the moment. I’m a few episodes in to season 6, and I’m really enjoying it 🙂

Tippon,

I just checked IMDB, and apparently it’s Gaila 🤷🏻‍♂️

Tippon,

Galen shows up in an episode where Quark becomes an arms dealer when he’s struggling for money (S05E18). This is after his Ferengi business license was revoked. Galen, his boss, and the customer, were chased off by a team of assassins / hitmen (I can’t remember exactly what they called them in the show).

I’m on season 6 now and none of them have returned yet, so presumably they’re dead.

DeAmazoning a FireTV

I never want to get a smart TV, but I found this exact TV (Toshiba FireTV) on the side of the road and decided it would be a fun project to try enhancing its privacy as much as I can. It did not come with the remote or any other accessories besides the TV, so if there is any way to pair an iPhone/Pixel as a remote that would...

Tippon,

While I agree with you, if OP is spending money on a remote, they may as well try to find an original remote. They’re unlikely to be expensive, and will have all the correct buttons :)

Tippon,

In my defence it’s late at night here 🙈

Tippon,

Thanks for the suggestions :)

I did have a look at Hedgedoc, but I thought it was for making online content, rather than private. I’ve probably got it wrong though :)

It’s one of the problems I find with some open source projects, they assume that you know what the project does. They don’t expect clueless people like me :D

I’ll have a look at Cryptpad, thanks :)

Tippon,

Thanks for replying :)

I’ll look into Nextcloud, thanks :)

I want to avoid using something like Syncthing. It would be great for me and my wife, where I can get my hands on the devices, but for the festival, I need to keep things as simple as possible. Some of the users can barely use computers and phones.

Tippon,

Thanks for replying :)

It doesn’t have to be real time, but it would make things a lot easier. We’re both trying to get diagnosed with ADHD, and we tend to forget things until something reminds us, so if we get a reminder about a note, we’d both be likely to act on the reminder immediately so that we don’t forget again. (It’s a fun situation >.< ).

My current system gets around real-time collaboration needs by using 3 obsidian notes in a shared obsidian vault.

Again, with the probable ADHD, that sort of workflow would never work for us. I can understand why you want to get away from it.

Someone else mentioned Hedgedoc, so I’m having another look at it. I mistook it for an online document tool, so I definitely need to read through the site again.

For the festival, I’m mostly thinking of things behind the scenes, like if I need someone to write up some text for the website, I could add it to a note or todo list, and they could see it there, rather than me waiting to send a message in the morning, and them sending one back when they think it’s a reasonable time.

Tippon,

Thanks for the reply :)

I didn’t know that OneNote could share. That might be ok for at home. I’ll have a look at Anylist too. Ideally though, I want to try to go with open source software.

I’ll have a look for the discussion now, thanks :)

Tippon,

To be honest, it sounds complicated, like the sort of thing where I’d miss a step and confuse myself. That might just be me though 🙈

Tippon,

Thanks for the suggestions :)

I had a look at the livesync, but they mention the server now charging, and they’re looking at other options, but I’m too tired to make sense of it now, I’ll have to look again in the morning.

I’ve temporarily set up Google Keep, just to keep the holiday on track while I figure the rest out. Frustratingly, it was stupidly easy to set up. I just entered the note, selected the collaborator option, and entered my wife’s email address.

I understand why the open source solutions aren’t that straightforward, but it’s annoying to see how easy it could be if money wasn’t an issue.

Tippon,

Sorry for the slow reply, I’ve been away :)

Cryptpad does look good, thanks. I haven’t had the time to look into it properly yet, but I’m planning on going through all the suggestions again over the next few days :)

Tippon,

Sorry for the slow reply, I’ve been away :)

It’s good to know that it is free for self hosting, thanks :)

I don’t mind a complicated setup for at home, as I’ll be setting the devices up anyway, it’s when I want to use something for the group that I run into problems.

At least three of the guys on the committee are bad with technology. They’re in their 60s and 70s, and have never had to do more than the basics on computers. The rest are standard users. It should be interesting trying to get them all on the same page 🙈

Tippon,

Sorry for the slow reply, I’ve been away :)

I set up Syncthing on my wife’s computer, and she disabled it because she didn’t recognise it. I don’t know whether to feel annoyed or proud of her :D

I’d forgotten about Tailscale. I’ve been meaning to set it up anyway on my media server, so that could be a great solution. I’m torn between hosting at home or something remote, on the off chance that I leave the festival at some point and have to pass everything on.

(Sorry, I’m just adding this part to remind me later)

If I set up a subdomain to point to the Tailscale domain, the next person could self host and I’d just need to redirect the subdomain to their Tailscale domain. I need to check how the shared app / program would cope with that.

Tippon,

Sorry for the slow reply, I’ve been away :)

That’s a good idea, thanks :)

Tippon,

Sorry for the slow reply, I’ve been away :)

That looks interesting, thanks :)

Tippon,

Sorry for the slow reply, I’ve been away :)

I want to avoid Syncthing, as a few of the people on the festival committee are not great with technology. I would have to set it up for them, and fix any problems that come up.

Tippon,

Sorry for the slow reply, I’ve been away :)

I’ll have a look into that then, thanks :)

Tippon,

Thanks both, I’ll have a look into it :)

Tippon,

the most recent version of GNOME has OneDrive support

Just to check, do you mean the Microsoft version of Onedrive, or the abraunegg Linux version?

Abraunegg’s version is brilliant, but the MS version would make my life easier :)

Tippon,

A developer, Abraunegg, has made a Linux tool that syncs a Microsoft Onedrive account with a Linux system, in the same way that the Microsoft Onedrive tool does on Windows. They’ve named their tool Onedrive too.

I didn’t know if you were talking about Microsoft Onedrive compatibility in Gnome, or Abraunegg’s Onedrive. It gets a bit confusing when they both have the same name.

Tippon,

Thanks :)

I take it that’s a third party client that syncs with MS Onedrive?

Tippon,

That makes sense, thanks :)

Tippon,

Ah, I know the one. I’ve used it for Google Drive in the past. I didn’t know it could do Onedrive too though.

Tippon,

That looks like it could be really good, thanks :)

I’ll have a play with the demo and see how it works.

Tippon,

It looks great, thanks :)

It looks like it covers everything I should need and more. I’ll have to see if it will connect to my bank, or if only some banks use the protocol, but it looks promising.

Unwarranted advice is welcome too :)

I haven’t had much luck with journaling, as I usually don’t like the act of writing things down. If it can be done digitally though, it’s worth another look, thanks

Tippon,

They look good, thanks :)

I like the fact that InvoiceNinja can be self hosted too

Tippon,

That looks fantastic, thanks :)

There’s definitely more than I’ll need for now, but that looks like it could manage most situations.

Tippon,

It does look good, thanks :)

Tippon,

Thanks :)

Tippon,

That looks like it could be good, thanks :)

Tippon,

Thanks for replying :)

It looks good, but possibly a bit complicated. I do want to learn Python, but I’m nowhere near competent enough to trust my finances to it yet :)

Tippon,

That’s a good point, I hadn’t thought about how I would get the information to an account yet. I need to look into how that would work for whichever software I use. Thanks for the heads up :)

Tippon,

Strange New Worlds has painted itself somewhat into a corner by being a prequel.

It’s a great series, but if Spock and Uhura are in trouble, and the only way to save them is for that nice James Kirk fella to sacrifice himself, well, we know that there’s a twist coming.

Tippon,

Plot twist - cats speak their local human language. The meowing we hear is the censoring

Tippon,

Too meowing right!

Tippon,

I imagine you already know, but be sure that you’re saying that the street sign doesn’t exist, and not the street itself 👍

Tippon,

It’s good, but it depends on the map having the details in the first place. e.g. near me, the roads are mapped, and a lot of the town centre, but there’s a huge amount missing.

Street Complete can’t ask about a building if it hasn’t been added to OpenStreetMap in the first place.

Tippon,

Well, I feel a bit daft!

I thought the filter was to only complete quests for certain objects. I had no idea that you could add items too. That’s going to make things easier for me :)

Tippon,

I might be wrong, but I remember reading that they removed the objectionable content after the fuss that was kicked up.

Tippon,

Thanks for the reply, it’s given me a good idea of what’s most likely happening :)

It’s a shame that the rest of the thread went to shit, but unfortunately it’s an emotional topic, and brings out emotional responses

Tippon,

Thanks for the reply, that makes a lot of sense :)
