I did this with ESPHome on an ESP8266 connected to an IR led for some rope lights that had IR control. The hard part is finding the codes for each control, but there’s a surprising amount of info out there.

You can connect an SSD to these boards and boot from that instead of an SD card. Definitely the way to go especially considering SSDs dont really cost more than SD cards.

Yeah these graphs are frustrating. The knife one also has a Y axis starting at 600 along with the numbers being a “rolling 12 month average” of stabbings, whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean.

I have no familiarity with Yunohost but this is just a matter of separating your services. Have one container with the *arrs, qbit, glutun, and VPN and a separate container with Immich and Nextcloud. I personally use Proxmox with Portainer to run tne containers, but you may be able to just run Portainer on your OS to accomplish the same thing.

You’ll only connect to people who do have port forwarding setup, but nobody else.

Yeah thats just a seal to keep the poop in but not what holds it down to the floor (mostly).

There’s also the possibility they’re referring to the current draw through the mobo connector itself frying things. A couple of HDDs at 12V, 10W will be pulling almost 2A which can be a lot for some circuit board traces, but there’s no great way know what the board can handle without documentation from the manufacturer or someone with relevantt engineering experience well above what a typical computer repair shop would have.

If I were OP I would just roll the dice and try it out. Its not as if old Dell office PCs are high dollar items.

I see what you mean now.

Even still, our toilets in the US are bolted to the floor and only sealed with caulking along the floor to keep water from pooling underneath and rotting the floor. With our American diets, we rely on the structural rigidity of metal bolts to keep things in place during our massive dumps

Those are the molex to sata power adapters that are a fire hazard. I haven’t ever heard of this type causing issues and have been using them for years and years without issue.

Toilet seat got glued in as well.

I’ve gotta see a picture of this too. I’ve never seen a toilet seat that wasn’t bolted to the toilet.

This is what i have. Amcrest cameras tied to an Amcrest NVR which offers remote viewing, recording, and playback and then also tied into Frigate and Home Assistant also for remote viewing, event notifications, etc. I could ditch the NVR but I’d need to get a POE switch and I like having it as a backup.

I followed this dude’s tutorial to get everything setup in Proxmox: https://youtu.be/qmSizZUbCOA

It was still the same back then, it was just done via network TV channels instead of streaming channels.

Because music streaming services compete (for the most part) based on experience and features not content. This happened after the market plummeted for music sales. TV and movies are still in the stage where everyone is competing with content by having exclusives while their services suck dick with few features, horrible UX, and ads. Im sure at some point they’ll go the route of music and games where youre not forced to sign up to a specific service to see a specific show, but who knows when that’ll happen.

As someone with no PS experience or other baggage weighing me down, I find the default UI to be insanely unintuitive. Im not even sure what the panels on the right or bottom are for, the left toolbar panel randomly disappears on me occasionally and I can never figure out how to get it back without closing and reopening GIMP. Things like Crop don’t seem to do anything obvious. Painting with the brush doesn’t work unless you first use the selection tool to draw a box around the area you want to use the brush. Etc, etc, etc. Some of this is obviously just because I’m a novice, and I manage to fumble my way through things, but at the same time it could be drastically simplified for simple tasks. It feels like a tool that was built for people who already knew how to use it.

Oh I wonder if this is the same guy who’d tag a GPL license onto the end of his comments as if this were Facebook and they’re telling Mark Zuckerberg that he doesn’t have permission to use their comments.

Today I have a huge bottleneck in unpacking and moving. I’ve got 1gb fiber and can saturate it, getting a complete iso in just a few minutes, but then it’s another 30min plus waiting for that to actually be usable.

Are you doing this all manually or using the *arr suite? For me, this process takes a minute or two depending on the size of the files with Proxmox and ZFS but even previously on Windows 10 with SnapRAID it was quick.

Its honestly pretty small for what you can pack inside but they do have smaller options like the Node series. The 304 is around 8"x10"x14" with room for 6 drives.

The third alternative (and best IMO) is to buy a PC case with lots of drive slots and transfer everything into it. With a NAS you’re going to pay a ton of money for the NAS itself which is just laptop-equivalent hardware and a fixed number of drive bays meaning you can’t expand it when it fills up without buying more expensive hardware, and you’ll also be forced into buying matched drives. With an HDD enclosure, you’re spending less money but again fixed on the number of drives while also being somewhat unreliable due to the USB connection.

I use a Fractal Design Define 6 midtower case which can hold around 12 HDDs. For hardware I bought a mobo with the most SATA ports I could get and began slowly buying drives as my storage pool filled up, eventually needing an LSI HBA card to expand the number of SATA connections. This is the best value IMO as the cost is comparable to buying a NAS, you can add drives as you go with a much higher drive capacity, the connection is rock solid, and you can run real PC hardware.

It was definitely not fun stringing Cat6 through the attic, but knowing myself, I probably wouldn’t have stayed on top of battery changes and I also wanted 24/7 recording since a battery powered camera can miss movement and start recording late or not at all. I also need a doorbell camera still but I’ve had trouble finding one that checks all the boxes.
