My uninformed guess is the person posting this is NOT the person in the picture.
Most likely, it’s some weirdo’s bizarre roundabout way of harassing whoever’s picture this is.

Fallout universe science, silver linings, or lead.

Your examples seem vaguely related to home automation, so maybe they’re already in Home Assistant.
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/

It has a bunch of sensors and media related integrations. You can also add custom REST API queries.

For me, Plex would often end up having audio drift lag and it was annoying as fuck. It’d start fine, then the lag would gradually increase until you changed encoding back and forth, then gradually increase again.
Jellyfin just works.
That was enough to get me to switch and not look back. I’m also rid of the bullshit plex login that I never cared for, and also of their push for whatever “recommended” stuff is supposed to be about.

Make sure you test this from outside your network and not simply by using the public IP, but from inside your LAN. Odds are your ISP modem doesn’t support NAT loopback (also known as NAT hairpin).

Not only do I see your comment, it’s not yet buried even 5 days after you’ve made it.

Speaking from experience?
That seems rough.

That was supposed to be ‘address’ as in email address, not sure how autocorrect figured that one.

Yes and no… say if you gave the email address [email protected] when signin up and you start receiving garbage on it, you just delete the alias and move on.
The trick is that you can have several aliases go into the same inbox so you only have to check one place, but each thing is given its own IP making it easier to identify and filter culprits.

Buying your own domain.
You can then use whatever provider, or host your email service… but at least you don’t need to change addresses when switching anymore.

Report the DM. These go to both instance admins involved (sender’s and recipient’s instances)

So, A1/A2 is yet another scale they invented because, why not.
A2 is supposed to have more IOPS than A1, although in benchmarks, some A1s perform better.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it tbh.

So, the SD Association is absolutely fucking insane when it comes to giving labels to literally anything.

The Steam Deck supports UHS-1 microSD cards.
That’s the name of the bus. There’salso UHS-2 and UHS-3, but they’re backwards compatible with UHS-1, so that’s whatever.

Speeds…
Some cards used speed “classes”, like Class 10…
There’s also U1 or U3 speeds (which is a speed rating independent of the bus. (A U3 cards is probably a UHS-1 card.
Some have a speed rated with a V, like V10, V30, etc.
They often have multiple labels too.
These can all be used to label the speed of a UHS-1 card:
UHS Speed Class

• U1: 10 MB/s minimum write speed.
• U3: 30 MB/s minimum write speed.

Video Speed Class

• V6: 6 MB/s minimum write speed.
• V10: 10 MB/s minimum write speed.
• V30: 30 MB/s minimum write speed.
• V60: 60 MB/s minimum write speed.
• V90: 90 MB/s minimum write speed.

Class 10

• Class 10: 10 MB/s minimum write speed (legacy).

Anyway, U3 is basically the same as a V30.
U3/V30 would be the minimum I’d get for the Deck. Price being the deciding factor for the rest.
I don’t really care if the card ever fails, so brand was (mostly) irrelevant in my choice.

The shopping/dressing part, imho, is whatever, maybe even cute.
Kids being wary of parental embarrassment is as old as time.

That last message though is really the big one: how to behave and what to say.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about your daughter, the following isn’t meant as advice.

On one hand, she wants you to be part of this.
On the other hand, it seems like covering up who you are is (mostly?) to cover up who poeple there might think she is?
It’s like she’s worried that people there will think she doesn’t belong if it is made evident that you don’t. I think she’s worried about not fitting in herself and you bringing attention to that fact.
Asking you to play a role is kinda wack… but then it may be that she’s been thinking all this time that she has to be playing the part too. Idk if cute or sad or both. Impostor syndrome in a relationship maybe, idk.

Honey, just hire actors at this point.

Me? I’d go all in.
Full-on wizard staff and pipe, or the old monopoly monocle look.
If I’m about to dress up and play a role, I might as well play as someone from the wait staff or go all out medieval bourgeois and convince people I’m a noble from a far off land that no one there has heard about, like Earl of Canada.

Sorry we’re late, customs was being picky about sword lengths and I had to leave another trebuchet to one of them meddlesome varlets.
A den of savages.
We couldn’t find the stables, my dear, if you’d be so kind as to have one of your footmen help the stable boy.

@[email protected] can probably help with the account on lemm.ee.

Or just make an account here on https://sh.itjust.works/ without messing up the email.

I think most instances’ admins are reacheable through Matrix.

Good luck

What year is it? 1999?

I forgot to mention Ascent which is one of my favorites. I played it early 2024, which feels ages ago It’s a cyberpunk twin stick shooter RPG.
It was really fun.

It’s also one of the games for which I tweaked my SteamDeck controls a lot.
I vaguely remember the right stick “snapping” too much for my tastes to the horizontal/vertical cross, which went completely away when I mapped it to a fake keyboard/mouse input instead.

2024? Lots of different titles that I played for a while then moved on.
Helldivers 2 was nice enough, I’ve also played a lot of Slay the Spire and Deep Rock Galactic Survivor.

Most surprising (to me)… I got Moonstone Island on a whim.
It’s usually not a game I’d get, but id that was fun, it’s kind of a mix of Stardew Valley, with bits of Pokémon and Slay the Spire.

Fuck this garbage human.

Good question, I’d guess it would be the closest to the center of whichever zone.
I haven’t tested them, but if they work, it’d be easier to use non circular zones than deal with multiple overlapping ones.
