Does selling stuff you own affect your unemployment? (NYS)
  • If it's stuff you already own, the income would be based on the difference between what you paid for it and what you get for it. Likely, you're selling at a loss, so that's not income.

    Notes: IANAL and have never been on unemployment.

    Programmatic access to discord
  • Check out Discord's Webhooks; many applications publish notifications through them. Should be as easy as sending a message to a specific URL, I think.

  • New to CircuitPython, this feels like it should work according to the docs but it prints six Falses. Any ideas?

    ``` #!/usr/bin/env python import board import digitalio import time

    class body_controller:

    def init(self): SWDIO = board.D5 self._reset_pin = digitalio.DigitalInOut(SWDIO) print(self._reset_pin.value) self._reset_pin.switch_to_output(True) print(self._reset_pin.value)

    def turn_on(self): print(self._reset_pin.value) self._reset_pin.value = False print(self._reset_pin.value) time.sleep(1) print(self._reset_pin.value) self._reset_pin.value = True print(self._reset_pin.value)

    body = body_controller() time.sleep(1) body.turn_on() time.sleep(1) ```

    Why is there no Christmas version of Spirit Halloween?
  • I believe you're looking for Christmas tree farms.

    Also, there are so many year-round Christmas shops.

    Also also, Spirit is mostly for costumes, which aren't relevant to Christmas.

  • Is there any way to turn off the random tips like "make a receipts folder!" in the Linux desktop app?

    This happens if I use set_time or set_position. Is this typical, or am I just not doing it right?

    This is on a Pi Zero 2 W, so not the most powerful, but should be able to handle this.

    These are the relevant bits of how I'm setting up the player:

    ``` self._vlc = vlc.Instance() self._player = self._vlc.media_player_new() self._list_player = self._vlc.media_list_player_new() self._list_player.set_media_player(self._player)

    playlist = self._vlc.media_list_new() for index in self._play_order: playlist.add_media(self._vlc.media_new_path(self._songs[index]))

    self._list_player.stop() self._list_player.set_media_list(playlist) self._list_player.play() ```

    And trying to seek is just this:

    self._player.set_time(_s_to_ms(seconds))

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    I've somehow managed to bend a RAM clip so it can't clip anymore because it's blocking itself. I haven't been able to bend it back. Any suggestions?

    Do anyone else's wrist hairs get caught in the little gap between the frame and the trackpad/spacers?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to have events from the Keybow keyboard cause effects on the Pi Zero W running the keyboard instead of outputting to another machine? Or do I need to go with a different OS and figure out the handling of the keys myself?

    I just hibernated my laptop and then brought it back up, and it went straight into LMDE without asking me for a password on a lock screen. That seems.. like weird behavior. Is there something I can set to fix that?

    Anyone been able to set up a fingerprint reader in LMDE 6 with Cinnamon? I can use fprintd-enroll and fprintd-verify successfully, but it doesn't show up in pam-auth-update so I don't know how to add it to the login screen or the terminal.

    I know the drivers come in the distro package manager, but, is there a set straight from AMD? Trying to use Brave causes freezes and black screen flashes, which I'm pretty sure is a driver thing.

    Is there any way to complete the Outpost Control job? It's that only (non-First Order) job I haven't completed, and I'm not sure how to. I thought maybe I'd need to install and retrieve the skimmer, but I did that today and it didn't progress the job chat.

    Edit: I've tried installing defenses on every panel, but that also didn't work. Next time I'm on planet, I'll try installing the skimmer and leaving it long enough to gather some credits.

    Edit2: Okay, I think maybe it doesn't actually complete until one faction gains control of the outpost for the day, and not enough people play for that to happen. Damn.

    So, I have a bunch of services behind Authelia, utilizing LDAP hosted on my NAS. I log in once and it carries through my other services that are secured by Authelia, which is great.

    However, since my wife rarely visits these services - mostly when I send her links - she has to log in basically every time. I've contemplated putting our laptops on a network login backed by the same LDAP, though I haven't started researching how to do that yet. If I do, though, is there a way to have the laptop login integrate with Authelia or another solution to prevent login prompts?

    I know I could do it with Windows and AD, but we're both on Linux, so that complicates things a bit.

    Is there a way to set a movie extra to repeat endlessly? There's a fireplace feature that can cycle on the DVD but I'm not sure how to make it do that in Jellyfin. I have it in there as an extra.

    Is this a good deal?

    www.ebay.com Asrock Rack EPYCD8 motherboard+ AMD EPYC 7642 48c/96t CPU +64G(4*16)2133P RAM | eBay

    1X Asrock Rack EPYCD8 motherboard. 1 x AMD Epyc 7642 cpu. 4 x 16 G 2133P DDR4 ECC (in total 64G). AMD EPYC™ 7642. CPU AMD EPYC™ 7002/7001 series processor family. AMD EPYC™ 7002 Series. ASRock Rack Instant Flash.

    It seems good based on the price of just the CPU. If it's good, what kind of server case would it need?

    Advice on building a small PC/server

    Hello! I am doing some if-I-die planning, and I want to create a machine that is separate from my current homelab that can a) host paperless-ngx and b) be used with keyboard/mouse/monitor if needed. I want it to replace my current paperless-ngx instance that's hosted in my lab.

    Ideally, I'd want two SSDs in RAID 1, possibly with a third drive for the OS? I'll be backing up to my NAS and from there to the cloud, but I want to separate this machine from the rest of my infrastructure and still be able to have reliable access to the documents on it.

    In theory, I could just sync the files to a USB drive and tell her to grab it if anything should happen to me, but finding the right files while stressed without the metadata stored in paperless wouldn't be the nicest thing to make her do.

    tl;dr: What should I buy to build a homelab-in-a-box that can be attached to my homelab normally but also function separately as a PC.
