They use OpenVPN for some reason. Wireguard is superior in every way. In case you set up a VPN.

Lol I definitely read the same thing twice. Assumed they were just repeating for emphasis. You’re right, my bad.

EoP, not PoE. Two different things.

Looking for Group. As someone else said, the ability to click “queue for dungeon”, be dropped into an instance with a bunch of random, and proceed to faceroll the dungeon without any thought or patience required.

The fun part of old school MMOs was the journey, not the destination. Modern MMOs have all optimized the journey out by making everything doable without ever being dependent on another player.

I know exactly what you’re feeling, and I totally get it. Still, if executed well, I’m at least impressed that they pulled it off. I would have sworn such an experience wasn’t possible.

But yeah, I’m not interested in having artificial multiplayer interactions.

As someone who believes LFG was the beginning of the end of MMOs, I can’t tell if I despise this or if I’m impressed.

ZigBee devices form a mesh network, which WiFi devices don’t do. This means I can have my hub on one side of my house and a bunch of bulbs and smart outlets maintain a backbone through the house for a bunch of low power devices (like thermostats and door sensors) to connect to it.

If you’re having a bad ZigBee experience, I recommend making sure your bulbs can serve as a general ZigBee bridge, and not just a bridge for other bulbs of that brand. Otherwise, a well placed smart outlet can serve the same purpose.

I also don’t want devices I’m actively using to needlessly compete with random logistical packets from a dozens of devices around my house. I also don’t want the devices themselves to need all the power of a WiFi connection when another protocol suited to low power home automation devices is sufficient.

ZigBee/zwave were fine for me, though. I personally haven’t seen a clear benefit to matter+thread yet.

It said it was going to explain why enshittification wouldn’t happen to them, but didn’t.

Letting perfection be the enemy of the good is why we can’t have nice things.

I mean…not that curious. It’s his entire livelihood at the moment.

To discuss the video in a comments section associated with it.

I agree it is that way currently, unfortunately, but it’s definitely a recent phenomenon (last 10y).

He switched to linux a while back. Now he’s trying to switch as much of the rest of his digital life to FOSS/non-profit stuff. He advocates for duckduckgo, firefox, paid email, graphene os, selfhosted vaultwarden, nextcloud, anything but google maps, kodi, etc.

I see you didn’t make it 40s into the video.

If it’s not obfuscating your IP address, then you’re open to getting targeted by anyone you interact with on a reddit-like platform. That sounds like a circle of hell I’d rather not visit.

I don’t know why people use dishwashers. It’s in the kitchen. A lawn mower is a no brainer, yet people still use dishwashers??

I’m convinced 90% of them have never run either and just like to complain about stuff.

A CSV file should work.
