For those of you who play TTRPGs: Which system is your favorite? What kind of characters do you like to play? What characters are you playing right now? in c/casualconversation@piefed.social
[–] anticonnor@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Also a big fan of Pathfinder! I tend to like systems with some crunch, but not enough that it bogs down the narrative.

I’m currently playing Hunter: The Reckoning with some friends over zoom and loving it! We’ve played a few World of Darkness games together, so it’s an interesting change playing an all-too-human hunter instead of one of the creatures I’m now hunting.

If you’re into TTRPGs, try posting to !rpg@ttrpg.network occasionally… that community could use some love.

Am I the only one that made my Shepherd hilariously stupid looking?

Quick sketch of my Hunter: The Reckoning character (infosec.pub)
 

First of all, WHY IS THIS COMMUNITY SO DEAD? I know we have some TTRPGers out there, so let's get this going!

Secondly, here's a quick sketch of my new character for Hunter: The Reckoning 5E. His name's Bram Biggs, an older vet using his wits and trusty dog to fight the things that go bump in the night.

WiFi router vs wired router + WiFi access point? in c/networking@sh.itjust.works
[–] anticonnor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Thanks for the recommendations! I pulled the trigger and ordered the following:

  • TP-Link ER605v2 wired router (I'll flash this with OpenWRT)
  • Cudy AC1200 wifi access point
  • Netgear GS305P unmanaged switch with POE

WiFi router vs wired router + WiFi access point? (lemmy.world)
 

My Netgear Nighthawk wifi router just crapped out last weekend and I’m gimping along on the rental wifi router from my ISP, so I’m looking to buy a replacement and am torn: should I go with a single WiFi Router or a wired router plus a wireless access point?

I don’t need crazy throughput, just enough to handle some lite home automation, streaming, and a future NAS. My house isn’t large, so wifi coverage with a single device hasn’t been a problem so far. I’m also interested in flashing OpenWRT or DD-WRT to the router, so compatibility is a consideration. Hardware recommendations would be great!

Preventing Asian Citrus Psysllid (lemmy.world)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/32522810

I have a small lemon tree that was bought from a local grower and came with the extra bonus of an Asian Citrus Psysllid infestation. The tree is dead now and I'd love to get a new tree, but want to make sure I've done everything I could to prevent a new tree from getting infested by any Psysllid still in the area.

Is there anything I can do to treat my soil or surrounding plants to make sure those little buggers aren't going to keep coming back? I'm in California where the sale of IMIDACLOPRID products is banned, which was previously the primary treatment for this.

I wonder if there are any IRL examples of turn-based combat, besides competitive slapping in c/microblogish@lemmy.sdf.org
feedback on my next steps for self hosting in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] anticonnor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Thanks for the feedback!

  1. I may not have labeled that accurately, I just plan to use Tailscale to access these services from specific authorized devices.
  2. I meant "before I do something that is a pain to correct". Like starting with the wrong OS or file system format.
  3. My plan is to build a media server which will include 4k media, so I think my storage may need to grow over time... maybe TrueNAS is something I can add later if needed?
  4. I guess the reason I was thinking of 2 separate machines is that I've heard using an OPi as a media server or NextCloud server will go really slow and potentially cause other issues. Plus I already have an old computer doing nothing right now, just needs new SSDs.

feedback on my next steps for self hosting (infosec.pub)
 

I'm still dipping my toes into self hosting and trying to figure out what services I would want to be always accessible from my devices vs those that could be awakened by LAN, and which services should be installed at the OS level vs as containers.

As of now, I just have an OrangePi 5 Plus running Home Assistant Supervised under Debian and nothing else. I'm hoping to expand the OPi a bit and also build out another PC (hardware unknown) as a NAS media server and NextCloud machine.

Before I start doing anything I can't undo, I'm wondering if I' on the right track with my proposed setup in the image, or if there's anything else I should consider?

Physical remote control? in c/homeassistant@lemmy.world
[–] anticonnor@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'll probably go this route, thanks!

Oh, those look nice! Looks like they're sold out at the official retailer sites though. Bummer.

Physical remote control? (lemmy.world)
 

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for a physical remote control that can be used with HomeAssistant? I'm hoping to find a multi-button zigbee or wifi device that HA can recognize and allow me to configure buttons to HA automations.

I'm already using a couple single button devices that can be configured to perform different actions on single press, double press, and long press, but would love a single device with multiple buttons for some locations.

Werewolf The Apocalypse 5e - Character Sheet in c/rpg@ttrpg.network
[–] anticonnor@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah, that's good feedback. I usually don't like getting crazy with fonts and colors, but thought I'd give it a try here. I also almost always have a dark mode extension on in my browser which totally changes the look of the sheet, and I sometimes forget what the actual colors are.

Volunteering in LA in c/losangeles@lemmy.world
[–] anticonnor@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for the suggestions! I know what you mean about the commitment to the Big Brother/Sister program. It's something I've thought about doing in the past, but never considered myself as great with kids and was a bit intimidated by the idea. It's probably about time I get over that nonsense and take the plunge.

Volunteering in LA (lemmy.world)
 

I used to more actively volunteer around the city, but now find that it's been WAY too long since I last got off my butt to help others. What are your suggestions for volunteer opportunities around the city?

I prefer tracking my TTRPG characters digitally and really hate PDFs, so I tend to make custom spreadsheets for each game I play. This is one I made for Werewolf 5e that not only tracks the same info you would see on the standard PDF, but also includes info on gifts, rites, advantages, and forms so I don't have to dig thru the rulebook for the things I need most often.

Feel free to copy and for yourself, or let me know here if there anything that could be improved in this shared sheet. I'll probably switch from Google Sheets to some other FOSS alternative in 2025.

I've also got character sheets for Changling 5e, Vampire 20th, and Masks: A New Generation if anyone here is interested, but those are older and probably not as fully fleshed out as this Werewolf sheet.

Where are all the artists at? (lemmy.world)
 

I used to primarily use Instagram for following illustrators, sculptors, digital artists, etc., but I dropped Insta for obvious reasons.

There was also a large exodus from Insta to Cara.app almost a year ago due to Meta's stupid policies on using Insta content to train AI. While Cara is generally a great site and has anti-AI policies (I'm not anti-AI, just anti the way most companies implement AI), my problem with Cara is that it's an owner funded site that will inevitably need to find a way to monetize the content/users.

On the Fediverse, I'm on Lemmy, Mastodon (though I don't love the micro-blog format), and Pixelfed (very little activity).

So my question is: What platforms in the Fediverse are you seeing the most original artist content?

Feature request: While browsing posts, disable back button taking you to the Communities page (lemmy.world)
 

When browsing posts, it's far too easy to click the back navigation button on my device which currently takes me to the Communities page. The problem is, once you move away from the Posts page there doesn't seem to be any way of returning to your previous place in the Posts page.

This could be solved a couple of ways:

  1. Disable the device's back navigation button from moving you away from the Posts page.
  2. Have some method of remembering and returning your the previous place in the Posts page.

Recommendations?: Cloud-based storage + doc editor + spreadsheets (lemmy.world)
 

I'm in the process of de-googling, and for the most part I'm pretty okay with using separate services for things like email, photos, calendar, etc... but the few things that I really like having bundled are Google Docs and Sheets in my Google Drive.

There's plenty of good alternatives for cloud storage, but I haven't seen any that come with any sort of office-like products. I know that I can self host my own private cloud storage and something like OpenOffice, but I'm hoping to find an existing cloud solution so I don't have to bother with that maintenance.

Any recommendations?
