I don’t use my computers for modern gaming. Like OP, I prefer tabletop games, though I do speed run crossword puzzles and play some PixelDungeon on my phone when I have spare time. I also built a Retropie, and play some old Atari and PS2 roms on a bored Sunday. My stuff can run Civ IV, which is probably the last title I bought.
My main systems are for work, or for supporting self-hosted services including local infrastructure, home lab stuff, email, blogs, home automation, media servers, etc, etc. Lately I’ve been getting into SDR projects using RPi or old laptops.
So, uh… Yeah. Fun stuff, but not so much gaming.
Look into the GE Enbrigjten series of Z-wave dimmer switches & 3-poles. They’re about half the price as what you linked, and use a more modern protocol stack. You’ll need a Z-wave hub, but you can get a USB dongle for about the cost of one of the switches, and it will probably Al’s include ZigBee on board as well.
GE makes dimmable 2-pole and 3-pole switches. The good thing about their 3-pole switches is you only need one smart switch for the branch, and can use companion switches to control the main smart switch over the traveler wire.
As always, pay attention to ALL smart switch literature and make sire you have a compatible load. Many switches require a neutral wire, and/or aren’t compatible with halogen fixtures. The product literature should make it pretty clear.
I also use Minoston switches, which I believe are another brand of the GE switches.

SolidGrueto Fediverse•PSA: Posting a YouTube video? Just post the canonical YT linkEnglish22·3 months agoYou might also want to strip the part of the URL that starts with
?si=
since it’s probably a referrer hash. For example, the URL for this popular Rick Astley video (which is not technically a Rick Roll now that I’ve told you)https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=0dRL2AnuQyQ10G84

SolidGrueto No Stupid Questions•Why hasn't Lemmy.World moved up from Lemmy 0.19.3 to Lemmy 0.19.7 yet?English32·5 months agoUsually .world upgrades late in the cycle because they’re big, and also in part because they have an outsized impact on federation issues if any should arise in the upgrade.
Also many similar reasons, but mostly because its prudent for .world to wait
+1. Honestly, any of the three can be a recipe for disaster, especially when messing with DVW.
Of all of them, gas is the one that can be explosive, although crossing electrical pairs is a big risk too. I bought my house from an electrician, and you probably would not be amazed at the number of 20A breakers on 14awg branches. There were at least 3 I’ve swapped back to 15A first time I cracked open my panel.
To every man his domain, I say. Myself, I grok electric and plumbing. I hate messing with gas.

SolidGrueOPto Lemmy Shitpost•Fuck it, we're doing eggs this weekend. Behold: Scotch eggs.English36·5 months agoIn fact, yes.
I forget exactly how, but basically roll out some uncased sausage into a thin sheet which you divide and use to wrap some peeled soft boiled eggs. Then the wrapped eggs undergo a traditional flour-egg-crumb dredge before a quick deep-fry in 365°F neutral oil to a desirable shade of brown.
From the pic, I’ll wager I cut in some Parmesan cheese (green can) and corn meal into the dredge. Probably also some salt, pepper, and herbs.
There are some good online recipes. I haven’t published one, myself, but I should.
