Man where was this post when in was DMing? lol.
This is super cool though. Rn I’m doing some film editing work for my friend, and this could probably be useful for subtitles too. Thanks for sharing.

DLSR camera is what I meant yea. That makes sense.
What camera do you use? This looks really good.
Not huge but for context, my most recent post of my cat was a little over 300KB
I’m guessing this was shot on a DSLR?
Yea not super thrilled with bambu lab for the privacy concerns but the printer itself is good. I just use it in lan only mode and block any outgoing network traffic on my router.
But there are other brands that are good. Ive heard prusa is nice but never tried them.
Agreed. Make them do the work first ffs or something. Tired of these “providers” getting free money for shit they dont even do.
Since you mentioned having ADHD in another comment which I also have, some things that have helped me and may also help those without ADHD as well:
Remove friction from everyday tasks whenever possible. If you make it easier to get stuff done around the house, you’ll have more bandwidth for other things.
Setting alarms for things that you have to do is awesome. really helps with staying organized and just being on top of things. same goes for calendar reminders. keeping a calendar took me a while to get into the habit of but its super helpful.
Anything you can have on autopay that you intend to keep like cell service, internet, utilities* etc. you should. It just makes sense rather than going through it each month for so many different things. *Utilities might not be good to have on autopay just in case you have weird discrepancies. one month I had to pay $1000 for electric. I called before I paid that lol.
Use a credit card for small things each month to help build credit. i have a card that all its for is my cell service. Its on autopay as well as the payments for that card.
Keep things in a cart for a while before buying them, it can help you to determine if you actually want that thing or really need it.
Also just cause others were talking about it, I find using videos as well a tutorials and documentation to all be helpful when troubleshooting/figuring things out, everyone learns differently and ADHD makes things like that harder. Having multiple ways to ingest that info can be helpful IMO. Not that anyone here is necessarily wrong in what they said, just coming from someone that also has ADHD, I get the struggles.

Same here man. Was using an s20 for a long time and was generally happy with it but after moving to an s22 due to charging issues, I wasn’t happy with the way that Samsung changed things. I don’t like how they often try to force a Samsung account.
And I REALLY don’t like this. I should never have to look at baked in ads in my OS that I paid for. I don’t care if its just on the lockscreen because you know that’s only the beginning.
“Watch this 30 second ad to change your wallpaper”
No thanks dude.
Gross.
I’m currently in the process of moving everything over to a pixel running GrapheneOS and am glad to be doing so because of shit exactly like this.
I just want technology that does what I want it to and doesn’t spy on me. Shouldn’t be this hard especially if I pay for the product.
Yea you’re in the right place lol. Like others in this thread, ive also thought about this a lot.
I watched a video recently of someone using a pi for android auto: https://youtu.be/Puk_pzMGd7c
I think the only problem you’ll find is that the software would need to be more custom if you didn’t want to use Android auto. Some kind of customized launcher for the pi or something akin to that to mimic a infotainment system.
IMO, using a pi for android auto would be the easiest way to do this but totally get wanting to do it on your own.
I think as long as you use something like organic maps and have a GPS module, a pi should be able to at least do GPS. That said, I think you have to use downloaded maps in that case. I can’t say for sure but that’d be my best guess.
As for screens, my advice is just buy a screen from pi. I looked extensively for a screen that you can hook up to a pi with usb c or anything else and from what I saw, a lot of the options for touchscreens are worse and or more expensive than what pi offers at $65 and its about as plug and play as it gets since they built it.
In all I think its very doable hardware wise. Software would maybe be your only hurdle depending on how exactly you want this set up. If you wanna throw a couple weeks of work at it, I’d be interested to see it so def post again if you do.
Yup was gonna say the same thing.
I took Sydney a couple years after I moved out of my parents place because I wanted a cat. He and his brother fought all the time so my mom thought it’d be better if they were apart.
Sydney and his brother even though they grew up together were better off separate.
I had that experience yesterday.
I wanted to see if a old fingerprint reader I bought 6 or 7 years ago would work, wasn’t expecting it to but lo and behold, it was in the fprint documentation as a supported device and once set up, worked without issue.
The Linux community fucking rules man. So many talented and hard working people make this stuff possible.
Very true. I thought Pop!OS would be easier for me to use and get things to work and in some ways it was, steam didn’t give me grief like Fedora’s KDE spin did.
I had issues with Pop!OS as well, and after switching to Kubuntu, performance is much better.
It was likely due to the Gnome extensions I was using but without them, Pop!OS just felt really unfriendly to me. I like to be able to tweak everything, its one of the reasons why I switched to Linux in the first place and Pop!os just feels way too locked down compared to KDE. Like you mentioned, it kinda felt like I was fighting it at times, especially trying to change the file manager. What a fucking headache, never got that to work either.
Aside from that, Pop is a decent distro, and I think cosmic is going to make it a lot better because Gnome is really the biggest sore spot IMO.
I’m known as the “spreadsheet” guy at my work since I’ve done a lot of upgrades to our existing tools and or made new ones. I’m learning coding just doing that through app script and am toying around with some game Dev ideas in godot but this sounds super interesting. Thanks for sharing.
As a artist myself, I think a community dedicated to artists that allows for self promotion would make more sense rather than in already established communities if it doesn’t fit into that communities theme or purpose. So a gaming focused community with a day for game Devs to post about their game makes sense, or a music community where self promo is allowed for an account every few months etc.
As much as I love looking at other peoples work, appreciating their art, and sharing my own, I’m also very mindful that not everyone wants to have that kind of thing in a community dedicated to something else like this one. Self promo stuff can be awesome when someone is passionate about their work but it also can be very spammy type of stuff where someone is a bit too enthusiastic about posting about their album EVERY month.
Thats just my opinion. Nothing wrong with your post asking about it just to be clear.
This def feels like a shirt that goes hard. I’d wear the hell outta this lol.
Between steam games and music vst, I’m getting stacked brother.
TL:DR, yes you can. But its not nearly as reliable as wired internet and is dependant on where you are.
I’m currently living in a place where only DSL is available for wired internet and its 1.5 mbps down at maximum so this is essentially my situation. I dont self host anything currently as I’m kind of in between projects but I could in theory self host something and access it remotely.
What I’m currently using for internet is a load balanced connection between starlink and lte. I’d recommend just using lte if possible. Starlink is good but it can be very spotty.
I’m surrounded by trees and the towers near me are old and go down more often that I would like or get bogged down so I need starlink but due to the trees it goes down frequently. Every minute or so. Sometimes I get 5 minutes of internet through it and thats fun.
I think you’d be better off just having a controller hook up and that triggers a bash script to start steam in big picture mode or lutris.
You probably could do something like this if you really wanted to but this would be clunky. If you’re always turning off the machine after you’re done using it, maybe it’d be OK but IMO, it would make more sense to just use KDE plasma and script something to get the functionality that you want.
You wouldn’t have to worry about booting things up or shutting them down if you wanna switch between gaming and whatever else, you could easily make changes to it, and it’d likely be less complicated.
Hell even a shortcut that opens it through a button combo or something would work for this. Pair controller, hit a key on your keyboard, boom, steam opens. That can be done through KDE natively through the shortcuts settings. Very easy to setup and something I use a lot.
