what foss phone OS do you use and why?
  • I just use nextcloud as a target for backups (Aegis, Signal, QkSMS). Apps such as KeePassDX I have load the file via nextcloud. My contacts and calendar go through it as well, photos are just set to auto upload along with a few other directories.

    As for the home screen layouts, I just take screenshots once I have it how I like and try to remember to take them again if I change stuff.

    It's not a full backup but I'm back up and running fairly quickly (Pixel 5A died on me 3 times in under a one year lifespan per device).

  • Car diagnostic software and tunning software?
  • Really depends on the make, you can get Mitchell and AllData prior to the subscription model (takes about a TB of space, from 1980s to 2013) to help with diagrams and disassembly and reassembly. Mitchell's wiring diagrams really are a lifesaver.

    Dealer level software/scanner combo you can get from obdii365, I got a Hyundai scanner from them and it worked well but you want to run the software in a VM or isolate it some other way and probably wouldn't network it.

    Vxdiag is pretty solid as well for the dealer software/scanner and you can usually get via Amazon but again I wouldn't trust the software. I have their ford one and used it with IDS to set the VIN on an electronic power steering rack.

    The software itself you can find via Google if it's all you need but typically the scanner is very specific to the software for the dealership stuff

  • After I’m Gone Backup Solution
  • Be careful depending on the model, some of those run hot. I managed to kill one in under 2 weeks just by copying a large amount of data to it and had to print a fan shroud for it's replacement to keep the temps at a reasonable level.

  • FPS gripe
  • Adjust your thumbstick deadzone if you haven't yet, the default is super high I run mine at 2000 and it made them feel a lot more responsive.

    I like to have gyro aim only when I touch the right track pad, playing through Halo MCC right now and it's fantastic, especially using turrets with gyro. Thumbstick for general movement, track pad and gyro for combat.

    We're using the grunt party skull where you get the party sounds and streamers when you headshot them and I'm able to pretty consistently nail them after a few missions with that setup.

    Not using any auto aim

  • For just $30 + $5 a month, I'm able to share everything with my family. Here's how.
  • I see no reason to not use both. Got a show you're watching that has new releases? Have Sonarr track it and auto download them as they release. Want to try a new show but not sure you'll like it or just a single season? Debrid.

    I will say, Jellyfin with Infuse on apple tv is rather easy to use for non technical people where they would struggle with stremio a little more.

    Still a far cry from the early XBMC/Kodi days where you had to manually try like 20 sources before you could watch both options really are great

  • What benefits do you get for being on-call? - programming.dev
  • I don't do it and we have no expectation of it. A good portion of our infrastructure is self healing and spread across multiple zones which has been enough for us for the past 10 years. The parts that aren't can wait until business hours and clients are aware no work is done outside of them so any fixes or changes wait until the following business day.

    You would have to more than double my salary to get me onboard with structuring my personal life around "but what if there's an outage", and even then I probably wouldn't do it lol

  • Gun rights group sues New Mexico over order banning guns in public in Albuquerque
  • Well in California where I am, you have to be really stupid to not pass the driving test, so it would almost be more on par with open carry, which I'm not really against them banning.

    (Disclaimer, I don't know NM laws I'm basing this off of Cali if they just hand out permits for a fee and nothing else then feel free to point that out).

    Concealed carry typically requires training, getting fingerprinted, interviewing with the Sheriff, and them ultimately deciding whether or not to approve it. It also requires a renewal every 2 years which is much more than drivers as you have to retake the training to renew.

    I do think driving should require you to at least take a basic test every few years though, a lot of people seem to not know how to drive.

  • Viability of Recycling failed prints?

    Is there a viable method or company to recycle failed prints or prototypes? I've been keeping all of my PETG stuff in a box, still a way to go before it's full but was curious if anyone had any experience here whether it be something diy or shipping them to a company.
