Unfortunately i think i know the local ham guy and his tower is a lower elevation than my back yard. I’d debated asking him if he wanted to move the tower to my house but i’m not interested in being responsible for somebody else’s gear on my lot, at least not gear that expensive.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•On what specific episode does your favorite "I swear it eventually gets really good" television show actually start turning around?
24·1 month agoYears ago i saw someone do a breakdown of what you’re talking about and if memory serves it’s the Herb episode that changes the vibe of the show. Until that point bojack feels like every other crude comedy on air but from that point on it breaks the traditional format. Its the first time on screen, and possibly in bojacks whole life(outside of family issues), that he faces consequences for his actions that have a serious negative impact on him and the fix is out of his control. In the face of this truth he spirals into a world of indulgence and avoidance and we the viewer begin to see the impact that has on those around him.

2·2 months agoCan you not remove a fish from your inventory and place it on the ground? It should show up in a little plastic fish tank. I don’t know if that’s an option in multiplayer but i’ve done it in single player to open up inventory room.

2·2 months agoWhen i say that imagination is the limit i mean it. I ordered some car seat pressure sensors and soldered them to either end of a door contact sensor and put them under our couch cushions. Now i have a battery powered, zigbee based, way to override the motion based automation if we’re on the couch. The lights stay on if we’re too still or they stay off if we’re napping and a pet walks in.
I watched a video where a guy used meshtastic to reach the back of his property and those radios can run on solar.

2·2 months agoI don’t doubt thread is getting better and could be the more future proof of them all but i bought some zigbee motion sensors for less than $10 and haven’t changed the battery in them in nearly two years. When thread devices are that cheap and can run on battery that long i’ll gladly recommend them too. For now, for beginners, i like to recommend zigbee for it’s low cost in both money and power usage.

6·2 months agoIt is as vast and customizable as it gets. The sky, and your imagination, is the limit. I’ve been at it for years and i’m still tinkering with automations and services. It’s biggest strength, in my eyes, is being able to run everything local and off line. My advice is to start with zigbee so as to not congest your Wi-Fi traffic and add in zwave where the budget allows and range is needed.

Was skyward sword the one where you could only save the game at special totems? One of the games i flat out quit at the first dungeon because you couldn’t save where you wanted to like every other one before… why change that?
I’m still a bit green to all of it. Would that antenna work with the P1-Pro? Would that RF filter be helpful to have?
The first few things that jump out to me are, the smoke isn’t coming out of the front stack, instead it’s coming out of a second stack thats more in the style of an older steam tractor. The second stack and subsequent second smaller steam engine are where a tender box should be. Worst of all is the illustration of the connecting rods/tie rods, i don’t think even a lazy human who’d gone so far as to make the whole image would get that sloppy drawing them so non uniform.
Even if you didn’t know much about steam locomotives spending more than 5 second absorbing and processing the contents of the image would tell you the smoke is in the wrong spot and the rods that make it go look bad. That is assuming you’ve seen a steam locomotive, which i imagine is the bulk of anyone with access to the internet.
The opposite of scared me, i’m more interested than ever but i think that antenna would put the whole project out of my price range at this time. Whatever i pick will be out in rural country side, rolling hills and plenty of trees, and will be mounted up on a decommissioned wooden telephone pole. Would a beefy antenna make enough of a different to justify being added?
This looks like my best bet. Batteries and metal mount included really sell me on it. I saw mention of upgrading the antenna have you tried that or felt the need to?
I believe the go to recommendation now days is a reolink camara and frigate as your nvr os. My understanding is both can operate fully locally when blocked from accessing the internet at the firewall level.

6·5 months agoI picked up a steam deck just before the holidays and this was one of the first few games i played on it and across 4-5 weeks i put nearly 50 hours into it. It’s so fun/addicting i couldn’t put it down.
One of the best parts, for me, is under accessibility settings you can turn off damage and magic drain making you immortal wth endless magic in the combat side of things. As someone who isn’t the biggest rogue-like fan this was perfect. As couple stress free dives for resources and advancing the story then right back to my silly little farm for hours.
