I have pihole running on an old Raspberry Pi B and it just chugs along. Except for the wonky update they put out a few months ago. That took some cleaning up after.
I check the dashboard a few times a day and it’s a good way to notice network issues and misbehaving programs.
I’m also running it through cloudflared to encrypt the requests, in case my ISP is snooping on them.

Programming@programming.dev•What is your development environment?English
1·1 month agoWindows with PythonWin (like IDLE) for most stuff, VSCode for vibe coding, even though I haven’t explored it much. I still need to figure out how to get local coding models running so I can compare them to whatever online AI comes with VS.
Plus a Mac with TextMate.
I’m disappointed that this is ‘carefully restored’ and not so much ‘pimped’. I was expecting RGB.
Still, neat project.
It displays fine by default, but the image only updates every several seconds. I’m talking about a live video feed, which needs some kind of special frame which has to be bolted onto HA somehow.
I haven’t, that’s the problem. It seems like it’s possible, but I’ve given up trying for the moment.
I have a Reolink PoE camera. It works fine. As far as I can tell, it only uses the internet to check for updates and set the time, but I have it blocked off anyway. Home Assistant was actually causing it to check for updates, too, so that got disabled.
I don’t record, so I can’t help you there.
I will say that is a pain to get Home Assistant to display real-time video instead of a slide show.

Games@lemmy.world•What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?English
20·3 months agoPillars of Eternity. I really appreciate that they must have had some Anthropology majors on the team, especially for II, because the worlds feel much more exotic than other RPGs. It shows up just how generic Medieval Fantasy most RPGs are.
The tropical Roparu (?) society with its caste system is particularly interesting. The interaction of the various factions is believable. And of course the pantheon is well though out.
The downside is that they can be clumsy about exposition of the world - especially in the first one, you get these enormous lore-dumps.

14·3 months agoBitwarden Authenticator because Bitwarden seems to have a good reputation. I don’t use their password manager, though.
It does seem faintly insecure that it displays all of the codes at once on one page, but I’m having trouble imagining a scenario where it’s actually a problem.
Ah, the ol’ Skyrim Space Program.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?English
6·4 months agoFinally caved in and started playing Slay the Spire. I was resistant because the game looked so ugly. Hideous UI, amateur art, whack animation. Unfortunately, it really is like that - but I understand the game itself is very well-made, so I’ll stick with it. I enjoyed Monster Train after all, and it has the same issues.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Security camera recommendations?English
8·4 months agoI have a Reolink PoE camera. It’s plugged into Home Assistant, and some setting in the integration had it phoning home constantly looking for updates. I turned that off and now it only connects outside of my network to sync the time.
The camera has survived outside for a few years now, so no complaints.

Heads up: by default, HA does not show real-time, full-framerate video - just a snapshot that updates every 10 seconds or whatever. As with all things open source, there is a way to fix it, but you have to faff around. I haven’t bothered yet, but it’s on my list.

If you aren’t having fun with it, sure. I was expecting the comments to be people arguing with how you have fun (using the dev console), but fortunately that’s not the case.
