This is the first article I found that's not behind a paywall. As a local resident I can tell you this has a potential to be the most devistating storm in decades... will find out in about 24 hours

As it is now, after I say "OK Google, take me to (destination)", it will show the route to destination and shows an icon for you to press before navigation actually begins.

Is there a way to skip that icon pressing step?

(Edit: If you have read this post before, please ignore what I posted before and re-read my updated content below, as there has been a number of drastic changes due to an inaccurate testing methodology in my previous attempt at configuring DAWN !)

For those who have not heard of DAWN, it allows Openwrt to steer clients to the AP with the strongest signal.

I spent a week experimenting with it to make it function the way I want it to (with several days' worth of effort wasted due to an app I used call "WiFi Analyzer" for my android phone. This app turns out to have the capability to make my phone make Wifi roaming decisions on its own, when I thought DAWN was the steering source). So these tips are what made it work for my environment. Please be reminded that every network setup is unique, and what works for me may require some additional tweaking for you.

It is very important to get up to speed with the basics by going through this website first and foremost: https://github.

No docs yet on wiki - https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/base-system/basic-networking#switch_configuration_dsabridge-vlan - just says 'TO DO'.

But all you need to do in LuCi is go to Network -> Interfaces -> Devices -> Configure br-lan -> Bridge VLAN filtering -> Enable VLAN filtering -> define your VLANs -> then for 'bat0', tag the VLANs that you want the data of which to flow through your mesh.

Simple as that. Of course you also need to define your network interfaces (one per VLAN), and remember to attach br-lan.1, br-lan.2, etc (where 1, 2.... are actually your VLAN IDs) to each of your network interfaces.

Is this new or has it actually existed for a long time? Stumbled upon it when I was typing this in a whatsapp conversation: "Should I call him?", then this graphic popped up:

I then started trying random words, and discovered for at least a few short phrases, and a little more number of singular words, as soon as you enter a punctuation after the word/phrase such as a period, question mark, at the end, the suggested graphic would show up:

• Yes!
• No.
• Good?
• I love you!
• Cheers!

Some (like Cheers) even have accompanying beer mugs to go along with the word art.

What other words / phrases are there to trigger these word graphic?

Summary: It has actually been a few months since my site came into existence. But being a newcomer to Lemmy I thought I'd post my experience once again here.

I had close to zero experience in web site development. I had never written a line of code in PHP nor used a PostgreSQL database, let alone creating and managing one.

However, I thought this lack of experience made me a good candidate to test just how powerful ChatGPT is. After two weeks of on-and-off construction, I finally completed a completely functional website that serves as an "online guest book" and is open for everyone to try out. A feat that I probably could never have achieved without any help.

Here are some of the amazing highlights of how ChatGPT helped:

• Debugging - I took the approach of using a website design software and incorporating snippets provided by ChatGPT. Very often, that would lead to unknown errors, and I just found myself copying and pasting the entire file and giving one single word

This is actually a pretty good way to kill time while your car is parked and you are waiting for someone...

The animation is normally super smooth, but since I was using the same phone to run AA and take the video, that caused a bit of stuttering for the games.

Is there any 3rd party AA game other than this stock GameSnacks app?

Typhoon 8 was hoisted for most of the day but HK is basically unscathed.

Next week though according to windy.com a strong typhoon will directly impact the city. By Wednesday it will be awfully close to HK.

... Another day off for some of us?

There are a plethora of ways if you search around, some obsolete, some still work, some require root, some don't.

For me (as someone who has just started using AA), I have been using Fermata Auto downloaded from github, installed as an LSposed module to bypass AA checks, and it works well playing videos including those from

• Youtube
• Jellyfin server that I am self-hosting
• Local video files

I'd like to be able to cast KODI to my head unit screen. Is AAAD a possible way to do this? Or do I need a screen mirroring method?

The m3u list is accessible like this (example only) https://hello:[email protected]/tv.m3u

So it has a username and password of 'hello' and 'there'.

If I enter the URL in a browser, the m3u gets downloaded. But if I enter the same thing in Jellyfin Live TV Tuner Devices setup as a new M3U Tuner, it returns with an error: "There was an error saving the TV provider. Please ensure it is accessible and try again."

Any help to add it would be greatly appreciated.

The Jellyfin app on my Android phone runs normally when not connected to Android Auto.

But when AA takes over, and I run Jellyfin on AA's dashboard app list, it shows the screen below:

Doesn't seem like it is accepting any input. Is this an issue or have I missed a step?

Edit: problem solved. Or I should say there is no problem in the first place. Jellyfin AA simply only plays audio, and it doesn't support video playback period. My Jellyfin only has videos hence "no item" (no audio item).

Two dudes visiting HK for the first time. Long video but pretty interesting

I host my own e-mail server, and for a long time I have been pulling my hair out on why the receiving end will still accept e-mails sent from my domain without any DKIM signature.

I have made sure that DKIM has been setup properly in my server, which means if an outgoing e-mail either fails the DKIM test, or doesn't contain any DKIM signature, then the e-mail must be fake. But currently while the receiving end knows to reject if DKIM=fail, it lets the e-mail pass if there is no DKIM signature.

Problem: I found as long as someone impersonates my e-mail account then send an e-mail that will pass the SPF test and doesn't contain any DKIM signature (real or fake), then it will still be considered legitimate by the recipient email server. This is even more problematic in my case as I have to rely on an e-mail relay provided by my ISP to send e-mails out (my ISP specifically blocks any outgoing port 25 connections, apparently to fight spam). This unfortunately means any other customers

Today marks the first anniversary of owning this car !

I have only used Plex very briefly before I moved to try Emby then Jellyfin. Granted I am not a heavy user of a media server - basically no one else in my household uses it, and I don’t have a lot of content, but I do use sonarr / radarr with it.

The moment Plex put me off was when I realized a Plex Pass was needed to add transcoding capability. What are some of the reasons people like Plex better than Jellyfin, other than those who have been using Plex forever and are just too lazy to explore other options?
