Not exactly the same, but suggests probably it would not turn out well. https://thebrain.mcgill.ca/flash/capsules/histoire_bleu06.html

I'd love it you'd name a few. I like games you can get lost in for hours and always looking for others I may have missed.

My father went to high school with someone whose last name was Butts. His parents named him Harold and called him, and thus his friends called him, Harry. I always kind of thought it was a tall tale until my father showed me his high school yearbook one day And there was a picture of Harry Butts.

I always kind of wanted to meet this man and his wife and ask her if he lived up to his name.

I'll enter for God of War, I watched a few YouTube videos of it with my son and it looked fun and a good story. Thanks for this idea, it's fun. Good luck to everyone.

Something that made me happy this year: my son tested into advanced math placement at school and I still can't get over how amazed I am with the poor genes I passed in to him. Couldn't be more proud as it was something he wanted and of his own choosing spent extra time practicing math. Don't know how I lucked out, but he's pretty impressive to me

I tried so many, eventually landed on trilium. It's not perfect by any means, but it ticks the most boxes for my needs

This is probably not true. The concept of this phrase but referring to family is probably a modern confusion. There is no clear evidence it means it was really referencing ties to friends. Although I wish it did. Here's some further reading from others also looking for a clearer reference.

You are correct. -itis just means inflammation or infection, encephalon just means brain. You can have encephalitis caused by multiple things, viruses, bacteria, fungal, auto immune diseases and so forth

I love trilium, I can self host. Doesn't have user support so I host two instances for me and wife. We then use mealie for recipes. It's worked really well

Trilium notes. Not perfect, but the best of many I've tried for my needs.

It's too bad this forces SSL connections. I'd like to use it for some home network/lan sites I have that are http only and use this just for convenience to access when at fine, but it requires a secure connection it seems

I use backblaze B2. I use duplicity to create a local encrypted backup of daily and then monthly incremental backups that are stored on a separate hard drive as a local backup. I then sync that with backblaze every night. It's worked like a treat. Gives me my primary data, a local backup on a separate drive and then an off-site backup. And actually my primary data and my local backups are both on ZFS raidz2 drives, so I can even have drives fail and be okay.

I used to use glacier, but the backblaze interface and uploading scripts were just so much easier to use, and the price was comparable if not maybe just slightly cheaper, I can't remember exact. I think duplicity also has a front end, duplicati that some people use, but I've never used it.

Can you elaborate? Or tell me where I can read more, I did not know this

Just finished shadow of Mordor yesterday and it was fun, and worked perfect on the deck. Today I started Darkwood, seems to be working reasonably well so far, although the run versus walk controls are a little clunky, but overall no big issues just an hour in to it

Perfect, I'll try it out. Sounds like no reason to get a steam link, and that what I have should work well enough

This is a fascinating idea, I've used KVMs in the past, but never One like this with an extender to go a long way over cat. I'm going to do some research on this, this might be exactly what I was looking for in the future when I want to eventually have a server room that I can have all my PCs in one room and go to other areas of the house. Thanks

Awesome, I'm going to look into this, thanks

Out of curiosity, how are you connecting your phone to home when you're out? Are you exposing HA, vpn? What sensors do you have enabled in the companion app? Do you have high accuracy enabled? How's your battery drain?

I use duplicity to do incremental backups that are encrypted with GPG keys. I then back everything up onto a second hard drive. And then I make a second copy that gets uploaded to backblaze B2. In theory it's all encrypted and safe there. I then have a copy of my encryption keys on a CD, thumb drive, as well as a printed out copy that is stored in a safety deposit box.

I have my own script that I want for duplicity, but I've heard duplicati is it GUI that's easy to use, but I have not used it.

I have the ecobee 3 lite and I try to keep it off the cloud and connect through home kit to home assistant. It is exceptionally unreliable and disconnects all the time. It's the only home kit device I have, everything else is zigbee. I don't know if it's an ecobee issue or a home assistant issue or maybe a router issue. The only thing that's helped some is occasionally letting it have access to the cloud and then it will reconnect to home kit and then I can disconnect it from the cloud and it will be good for any more from a few days to a month. I cannot recommend it because it has been so unreliable, and looking through online forums I've seen a lot of other people have similar issues with HomeKit and the ecobee. Eventually I want to switch to a purely zigbee device, as this is the only thing I have that even has Wi-Fi on my automation network.

I then control temperatures through a combination of home assistant, node red, and sensors through zigbee2mqtt.
