Several Gnomes get together and talk about their #DnD memories in this episode of the #Gnomecast, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the game.

Gnomecast 184 - D&D and Me

http://misdirectedmark.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/GC_184_DnDandMe_Final.mp3 In honor of D&D's 50th Anniversary, a whole bunch of Gnomes get on the mics to talk about our history with this venerable game. Prepare for a little nostalgia and musings about this hobby we all love.

Gnome Stew

Oh and I've also created one for #KDEConnect

And then done:

# ufw reset

Added all the 'apps' back that I had set up, and now I really have a streamlined list of rules.

#Gnomecast #Calibre #Samba #ftp #OpenSSH

#ufw

It all looks a lot cleaner, and I've got documents telling me what I did, which is a bonus.

Been messing about with #ufw, and finally worked out how to make it slightly easier to configure for #Calibre and #Gnomecast

I've now added a couple of 'application' files into /etc/ufw/applications.d with the correct ports listed for each and asked ufw nicely to allow the applications, under specific circumstances.

So that's my list of firewall rules minimised.

In the end I've settled on, slightly larger than standard, yellow subtitles with a darker yellow drop shadow, in a serif font for my viewing pleasure, when a film needs subtitles.

So that's what #Gnomecast now requests of the #Chromecast via my slightly adapted #PyChromecast default media controller.

And I'll stop mucking about with PyChromecast now (;*

Ok, so I went back in, and have now further altered the default media controller code (in media.py) in #Pychromecast so that I can pass in subtitle formatting from #Gnomecast and get PyChromecast to actually pass it along to the #Chromecast device.

Not so quick and dirty as the previous bodge, and there's no sanity checking for what you pass in, but since I promise to behave, it'll do.

Ok, so that works...

But it's an annoying bodge, nevertheless, would have been nice if I could just request the #PyChromecast media controller to style the subtitles from #Gnomecast rather than having to subtly alter my version of PyChromecast to get the #Chromecast to do what I want.
