What's was your favourite fast food product that unfortunately got retired and never came back?
  • At McDonalds in India, there was a chocolate thick shake. It was basically chocolate shake that was frozen. It was served from a softie-machine of sorts. I had to suck the straw so effing hard to have 1 sip of the shake.

    I used to buy it and let it melt for a while , just so that I can drink it through straw.

    They discontinued it. Idk why.

  • Tempo – An open source music client for Subsonic built natively for Android, with Android Auto support and synchronized lyrics and it's available on F-Droid
  • It works flawlessly. Chefs kiss. I haven't gotten a chance to use much of the lyrics feature yet. I am on bike now a days, so not able to sing along.

    But I am going on road trip(car) soon and my friends and I will be singing our hearts out. This time we won't have to keep on looking up the lyrics after the song changes 😂😂.

    However, I would love to see the following 2 options

    1. To see lyrics by default. Right now , I need to click on the current playing song at the bottom of the screen, then click on the lyrics button. It would be great if I could customise it to always show lyrics.

    2. Disable timestamps appearing on each line of lyrics.

    One more question, are you the developer ? 🙈

  • I don't know anything about Linux and the idea of installing it frightens me. Where do I start?
  • Go setup a Linux on a spare hard disk and fail as many times as you can.

    Don't fail twice because of same issue.

    That's all it takes to learn any skill really.

    You can search online how to fix things, reach out to this community with logs. Over time you will learn how not to fail from many pitfalls, and voila, you are now a champion.!

  • Suggestion for mounting ServoMotor on the door for Automatic Door Unlock with ESPHome on ESP32

    Hello Lemmings, Hope you guys are doing well.

    Objective: Open the door automatically through HomeAssistant

    My Plan:

    1. Use an ESP32 and flash ESPhome. Wire up Servo Motor (SG90) with ESP32. Tie a thread on between the Servo Motor Arm and the physical latch (physical latch that I can pull to unlock the door) such that when the servo motor turns from -100 to +100, the latch is being pulled to cause the door to be unlocked.

    2. I am planning to power this using AA Cells + DC DC Boost convertor.

    Issue:

    1. How do I mount the Servo Motor on the door?
    2. Is there any other (read better) way to achieve the same result?
    3. Would you recommend any power source other than AA Cells?

    Image for reference:

    The latch has a keychain-like loop where the thread is tied. To unlock the door manually, I pull the latch towards right (---->) . This action is planned to be automated by Servo Motor.

    Trying to connect two routers

    Hi all!

    I have 2 ISPs with their own routers.

    Router A: 192.168.0.1/24

    Router B: 192.168.20.1/24

    I have my servers plugged into Router A and all my endpoint and users' devices connected to Router B.

    I want users connected to Router B (192.168.20.1/24) to have access to server 192.168.0.90

    I thought plugging a LAN cable and connecting Router A and Router B and then defining static routes in both routers would solve the issue.

    However, at the first step itself I have an issue. When connecting the routers via a LAN cable, both routers dont get any IP.

    I was also referring to this post on superuser. Though Router B is capable of creating subnet and static route, I am not sure if Router A (Archer XR500v) is capable of creating a subnet and/or a static route.

    How do you guys enclose relay modules into the switch board?

    Hi, I am automating my manual switches at home with ESPHome on NodeMCU. For controlling the switches, I am using 8 channel relay module.

    The back of the board has solder-points sticking out. I will be installing this relay module inside the switchboard. So I want to put it in some kind of enclosure.

    Just wanted to know your thoughts on enclosure. Should I just wrap the whole thing in electrical tape? Or a plastic box maybe?

    Question about espresso

    Hi, I have recently got a Gaggia Classic Pro. So I am quite new to espresso. After I pull my espresso shot, the grounded coffee puck has imprints of shower screen (photo attached)

    Is this normal? If not, how do I solve this?

    I am filling it up with 18 grams of pre ground coffee (commercial espresso fine grind) in a pressurized basked.

    Home server crashing randomly

    Hi everyone, I host a server with few services running for my family and friends. The server freezes sometimes. Where the services stop responding. If I try to ssh into the server, it takes a lot of time (3 to 5 mins) for it to connect. After being connected, every letter I type takes 2 to 3 mins to appear on screen.

    Seems like the server is overloaded with tasks. But I am not sure what load it is running. I have netdata installed. I could pull up following screenshots for insights.

    Can someone please help me in troubleshooting the issue?

    I have tried testing stress testing my RAM and CPU, and they were fine. But I would start troubleshooting from scratch if you have recommendations for testings softwares.

    Please also let me know if there is anything I can pull from netdata to help in trouble shooting.

    How to implement certificate based access to self hosted services?

    I am hosting few services for my friends and family on my server. Due to devices limitations, I can't install VPN on TVs etc. Is it possible to restrict the access to only those users that have a certificate issued by me?
