So far it is just basic wifi switches (tplink). I have been trying to figure out how I am going to handle these weird edge case switches situations before I get too deep and discover I went the wrong way. I gave a little bit more detail in an answer to another user.

I’ve been thinking about what to do for a master control station. I like the idea of a dedicated tablet mounted and powered right next to the master bedroom switches.

Just a basic wifi setup so far. I was thinking I would need to rewire the original switch to hardwired and skip the switch part. But, I really like your idea of a 3D printed cover, that way I can still kill the power if needed. And depending upon the control I end up going with I might even be able to integrate it into that cover… That’s awesome.
That switch you linked me to is pretty sweet also. Not only would it eliminate the need to change or charge batteries for remote type devices, but I also would not have to cut into the wall or do anything drastic to add switches to the current single gang switch.

The existing switches operator fans with a light. The fan may be on but the light off, so you currently have to cross the room to get to the pull switch to turn the light on. And in my bedroom, if my wife is asleep with the fan on, I would like to turn on a small lamp that won’t wake her up. It’s easy enough if I have my phone on me, but otherwise I’m trying to make it across the room without tripping on the dog.

Interesting, that sounds a lot like what I’m trying to do. I will look into that thanks.

I don’t know… I had thought they were specifically remotes for the Philips switches. But now I will take a better look, thanks.

Thanks. I had searched for something but I never thought to look for a “button”. It’s kind of obvious now that you’ve pointed it out.

Some psychopath that loves crosswords.

No, not metaphorically. What they are saying is that you have to get in there with knees and elbows when dealing with the lilliputians normal people. There are so many more of them than us they will overwhelm you if you don’t take them down hard and quick.

And that’s how we found Trump’s Lemmy account.

I’d say that I probably “work” more hours from home. At work if I get so tired I zone out and am fighting to stay conscious, that cycle of trying to stay awake, trying to focus, going for a walk, getting coffee, can all put a 2 or 3 hr whole in my day. At home, I will set a 15min timer on my phone and then go crash on the couch (just comfortable enough for a nap, but not for a long sleep). Even on rare days when I am really wrecked, after 45 min I am ready to focus and get back to work. Additionally, since I don’t have a deadline to beat traffic, and I take naps whenever I need, if I am focused and in the flow, I don’t just stop working at the end of the day. I ride that focus and flow to its natural fall off. Whereas if I am commuting, when my alarm goes off, I am done and out of the building like a god damn ninja.

Those school buses can generate a lot of g-forces when doing high speed cornering.

But most land owners already pay land taxes every year. And the amount of tax you pay depends upon the value of the land. 20 years ago I bought a little house way out in the fucking middle of nowhere, cuz that’s all I could afford. Now, the area around me has suddenly become a hotspot for development and I am paying 4x what I was originally paying.
The real problem, as others have stated, is the loopholes that give companies special rights and privileges.

Maybe it was just a personal observation… Like maybe a shower thought gone wild.

It’s a gross kind of weirdness is it? It’s like some kind of really sad masturbation ritual. Like they can’t get an erection unless they are angry enough and their little private fetishes just aren’t enough anymore, so they are trying to get people to argue just enough that they can finally whip one out.

I agree with your entire post, but especially the second paragraph.
Every time stupid shit like this begins to pop up more frequently, there’s something like an election or an Epstein ruling that is about to show up.

Wow. Just announcing your terrorist plans right out in the open. Bold of you.

Let’s just hope that the politicians never realize the danger of sharpened sticks or they might ban trees and bushes too.

That’s true. I hadn’t realized how little it uses the GPU. I have had other 3d cad apps that I have worked with that were impossible to run on a server without a well above average video card, so that was definitely my first thought.
I guess one thing he could do is try some other opengl apps on his server and in the same docker. I have seen some badly configured servers and docker instances that fell back to rendering everything to bitmap.and then using some antiquated x11 bitmap handling routines to transfer the images. The handling of the images was so slow it was impossible to use.

Ya, that is what I thought, but skipped because I couldn’t remember for sure. GetVersion didn’t even exist until win2k, so everyone already had their code that checked version numbers written and squared away. They never needed to go back and change it or read the new documentation.

My guess is that the GPU available on the Serv is either really underpowered for 3d rendering, or not being clearly picked up by the docker. If the docker having to completely render in software, it is going to be slow

Microsoft’s version function didn’t return what you think it returned. They would deliver massive changes to OS functionality and call it “second edition” or just some service pack number. The version function gave you the same value for all of it. Literally, the only way to know what version you were working with was to parse the name. Microsoft’s own documentation on new functionality told you that was the way to do it. MS even gave you example code to copy and paste.
It wasn’t until much later, well after the dumpster fire they had created was blazing away, that they took the time to revise the way any of it worked.
