I have a TrueNAS scale NAS setup and I would like to host a matrix server. Do I have any options? Any particular implementation that I should go with? Does anyone have any experience with this?

I'm looking for an Android python compiler interpreter that runs locally on my phone. Any suggestions are appreciated. FOSS apps preferred of course.

Edit: changed compiler to interpreter

Edit 2: I ended up going with Pydroid3. I wish there was a FOSS alternative.

Sorry, I don't know of a community to post this in. However, anyone else having trouble creating watch parties?

I am no longer able to host watch parties on things that are free on prime. I can however, start a watch party for seasons/movies I "own" through amazon.

Edit: Put own in quotes.

Today I found a video series that I was datahoarding... I know...

Anyway, I found this old reddit post from 3 years ago on how to download from Brightcove. So I thought I would repost this here for posterity.

Here's the post below with some small revisions from 3 years ago by u/publiusvaleri_us

>I had a short video that I wanted to try to download, but the brightcove style seems to be hard to parse. I was wondering if there's a way to find out the actual URL to do the download, and I started on a hunch.

>Of course I visited the webpage with the video and let it play. In Firefox, I use Web Developer Tools, then I selected the Network tab. It listed a lot of the streams of the video (mp2t) that appeared to be a form of streaming. The secret is to look for a file type of "x-mpegurl" which is the key to feeding youtube-dl the correct video URL.

I found this step was made easier by uBlock Origin (I only had to look for the red blocked packets)

>Here is my command: (You must use ffmpeg, because of the multiple streams)

>youtube-dl --prefer-ffmpeg --ffmpeg-location ..\ffmpeg\bin --restrict-filenames [URL FROM Web Developer Tools->Network.]

>The only problem I found out is that some of the x-mpegurl files produce an end result without sound. They were combined in ffmpeg as render-render.mp4. But I found another one that downloaded to a slightly larger file, and it was called "master-master.mp4" when it was done. That video has sound. So if you examine your URL possibilities, look for the word "master" somewhere in it.

>...BLAH-BLAH/master.m3u8?fastly_token=BLAH,BLAH

>Let me know if anyone has questions or needs a few pointers. I'm surprised I figured it out without a lot of problems. When youtube-dl gave me the error for the main URL, I figured one of you guys knew all about how to do this... turns out that I do.... shocked emoji.

The Card Game 31

Here is a game that my family and I play:

• Play with a single deck of cards (No Jokers)
• Deal 3 cards to each player with 1 card face-up on the discard pile, place the draw pile face-down
• Players take turns either picking up the top card on the discard pile or the top card of the draw pile. They then exchange it for one card in their hand and place the rejected card on the draw pile.

There are three ways to win:

• Have 3 of a kind (3 Kings for example). The player lays their cards down on the table and everyone else instantly loses.
• Have the Ace and two face cards (10 counts as a face card) of the same suit. The player lays their cards down on the table and everyone else instantly loses.
• If a player thinks that they have the highest value in their hand (of the same suit) they can knock on the table. Every other player gets one more turn. Then everyone reveals their cards. The person with the lowest total loses. (Face cards and 10's count as ten points, Aces count as eleven points.)

Scoring:

• We have played with each person starting out with 4 coins that are used as "lives". Players give up one life when they lose.
• My SO and I have been playing this game with points, 31 points for an instant win and the difference of our hands on a knocking win. Double the difference if you knock and lose.

Do you make a weekly newsletter for your parents? If so, what do you put in it?

First year teacher? Veteran teacher with good advice? This is the post for you.

I think it would be helpful if we have a few posts this time of year to help new teachers.

So, what are some of your favorite procedures?

I currently have a Intel Core i7-6700 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Processor in my main build (built in 2016) and I'm ready for an upgrade.

Can someone recommend me a new cpu? I'd like something a little beefier and hopefully not have to get a new motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-B150M-DS3H LGA-1151 socket)

I'm looking to learn more by using a VPS and spinning up a few instances. Can anyone recommend a cheaper VPS service?

Please let me know if it would be better to post this in a different community. TYIA

Any interesting manipulatives that you recommend in your teaching? I've recently got excited waiting for these Magnetic White Board Blocks from Bozeman Science: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bozemanscience/switch-its-magnetic-dry-erase-blocks

Hi all! I have been using Emby for about a year now, but I was wondering, after the recent botnet debacle with Emby, if I should switch my media provider.

Anyone have experience with all 3? I really only have experience with Emby.

Some things that I'm interested in:

• Automatic file management is a plus
• Multiple users on mobile devices
• Roku apps

Not my video, but a helpful one. If anyone has a lead on a starter oscilloscope, please let me know.
