Personally, the vast majority of my smart home stuff is light automation. It's nice having a selection of lights automatically turn on half an hour before sunset, and it's nice having a button next to my bed that either turns on the reading lamps, or turns off all the lights in the house depending on how long I press it.

Though in fairness, I am drifting back towards having my lights controlled by buttons, because voice control is mostly bollocks. But now the lights font have to be the ones wired in to the house. It can be any that I can add to Home Assistant.

But my god, Fugitive Motel is a work of art.

I'm currently replaying Horizon: Zero Dawn on my wife's old GTX 1060 machine. Yeah, it's kinda janky at times, but it's still a great game.

Also, people are less able to afford the hardware to truly make the most of AAA games.

There are two wolves in me, and I'm glad I came to this furry convention.

Foot Tapper by The Shadows.

Barely a day has passed in the last 25 years where that hasn't popped into my head for a while. Fortunately it's delightful.

Everything is a conspiracy if you're too stupid to understand how anything works.

And if they're incompatible creatures, you could also end up with scratches.

My favourite geography fact is that when traveling along the Panama canal from the Caribbean sea to the Pacific, you're further east when you exit than when you entered.

Same as the Mario movies.

I assume you're not including SMB93 in this, because NO ONE can forget that masterpiece.

As the title says, I'm having one hell of a time getting HAOS to see my Conbee II.

I have HA running in UTM, which works fine, but I simply cannot get HA to see the Conbee. UTM can see it, and says it's passing it through, but HA can't see it. I figured that perhaps UTM is the issue, so installed it in VMWare Fusion then restored my most recent backup.

Same problem.

VMWare says it's sharing the Conbee, but HA can't see it.

On both setups I have the USB set to 2.0, and I've tried connecting both directly and through an extension lead, but the end result is always the same: HA can't see the dongle.

Am I missing something?

I've recently resurrected my partner's old gaming PC by wiping the Windows install and putting Kubuntu on it. It's a reasonably old machine at this point, but it's still capable enough to play games like Red Dead 2 without any issues.

It's running an AMD 8120 3.10Ghz CPU, with an Nvidia GTX 1060 GPU, with 16Gb RAM.

The GPU happens to be the minimum spec for Cyberpunk, which runs pretty well on it. I have the Nvidia drivers installed and everything seems ok in that regard.

The trouble comes when I try to stream it to, well, anything other than its own screen. With both Steamlink and Sunshine/Moonlight it's unplayable. If/when a game does finally load, it runs at a good 5fps.

I'm pretty new to Linux gaming, so don't really know where to start, so also don't really know what questions I need to ask in the first place.

So yeah, which are the best guides to look at to figure out how best to optimise my setup?
