Well I guess it's racist to call them bell ends now then, fucking bell ends

Yeah I've tried that search multiple times myself and end up back on Google for driving, it's just superior

My car has Bluetooth only. I wanted Android Auto because it was awesome on my phone, so I got an Android Auto tablet off Ali Express.

It's not arrived yet, I'm expecting it after the weekend, but I can't wait to have that UI back, that ease of use while driving.

It can connect to my Car by Aux or FM radio so can be wireless. I'll be changing to connecting to it instead of my car over Bluetooth. Then I'll be able to use the UI or Voice to control my phone while it's still in my pocket.

I hope it turns out as well as it is in my mind. For £30 it's worth a go

Just Google "Booting a pi from an SSD" and follow the steps

[–] Lifebandit666@feddit.uk 17 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I can't remember the steps (they were simple though) but when my Home Assistant raspi SD card died, I bought a 128gb SSD from AliExpress and a usb-sata cable.

I then did something to the pi that meant it can boot from the SSD, and flashed the SSD using Balenetcher or RUFUS or whatever (same program I was using to flash my SD cards basically).

Then it was just a case of plugging in and turning it on.

Runs exactly the same as with an SD card with less dying because SD cards aren't meant for a lot of read/write but SSDs do.

...can you tell I didn't read it? Thanks for that. 9% is fuck all really innit?

When they tell you a number is so you go "HOW MUCH? WOW" when they should be telling you the number as a percentage of profits.

0.5% of yearly profits doesn't sound as big does it? I mean I've made that number up, but the point stands.

In a community without a lot of content, complaining about added content is a bit rich, but some people are just dicks, it's a fact of life.

We just take a tote bag full. If anyone says anything they have just lost our custom. Can't stop people smuggling snacks when nobody goes

I bought an E off eBay from a charity shop and mine did the same thing. The WiFi chip burns out over time and they dgaf.

My solution was to just buy another satellite or whatever you wanna call it second hand off eBay. Gambled that the WiFi chip still worked and yeah, paired it and going again

I don't know if anyone needs to hear this but I use this all the damn time.

So when you're doing the cross you stick blue and green opposite each other, and red and orange opposite each other.

I find that I'm rubbish at the order they go in. I know it's Blue Red Green Orange but sometimes I'll go blue orange green red by accident.

As long as you have the opposite colours, well, opposite each other (blue-green, red-orange) and haven't royally fucked it up (Blue green red orange) then you can just do this.

Get your wrongly aligned middle slice and move it into the yellow layer with an M2, then spin them the opposite way around with a U2, then put them back with an M2.

Thing is, you don't have to do this immediately. You can actually do the whole of F2L first, then flip em afterwards. Meaning instead of getting in a bit of a panic about having done the cross wrong and trying to figure it out you can say to yourself "Oh yeah, better do that alg when I get a chance" and do it when there's only yellow edges in the M slice partway through F2L or leave it until you're done.

Also, you don't necessarily have to flip the bad 2 edges, you can flip the good 2 edges if you notice before you F2L and just realign your white slice so the cross matches.

TLDR: M2 U2 M2

 

I've recently started a new job. It doesn't pay as well as the old one but it's less hours, longer breaks and within walking distance of my house.

This last is the main draw. When I finish the late shift I whip out my Dynavap M and try to heat it up without being seen by other pedestrians, and road users. It's fine once it's heated.

Anyway I have just enough time to cache a bowl before I get home. I absolutely love it, gives me something to look forward to at the end of my shift and completely changes my mental space, so by the time I'm home I've blown work out of my mind and I'm in relaxed mode, which was my main issue with my old job.

I had to take time off in autumn last year with mental health problems that were all work related. The way my employer dealt with me was the push I needed to leave. On paper they were doing the bare minimum to support me, but actually what they did was throw me in a corner to get dusty and forget about me.

That's all I have, a positive vape story.

 

So much wrong with this story, but also plenty of Compoface

 

I used DuckDNS for ages to access Home Assistant but it was flakey. I use Google Assistant so I need external access.

Nginx was the real bastard, it made my head hurt every time I used it. So eventually I gave Cloudflared a go.

I followed a blog and managed to get it working the free, with a free domain.

Until a couple of weeks ago. It just stopped working. Thanks to a Reddit post I worked out that it was because my free domain used .ga and that was taken down because it was used by hackers and tricksters and odious people who were up to no good.

So I've bought a .com address for 5 years for around £0.65 a month through Cloudflare themselves. It was easy to set up and seems to be pretty solid, although I've only had it a couple days.
