Just a few minutes ago I learned about neocities.org. At first glance it looks like it might do what you want.

I’m older - I had 2 kids in the '90’s. I wouldn’t now. My oldest had 1 so far - doing their bit to counter the apparently inevitable slide into the future portrayed in the move Idiocracy.

Third place behind 2023 and 2024.

I know I can go read, or experiment, but I’ll ask anyway - does Immich gracefully handle changes to the external library after the initial import?

Edit - after posting I realised I’m not talking about an external library, but I hope my question makes sense?

I use it for my photos, but I have no specific needs - android app and desktop browser work for me. I’m looking to move my wife’s photos over but she needs R/W access to the photos on desktop (probably via a SMB share) for Photoshop etc. Can Immich handle that?

yeah, this isn’t a “real” salt lamp - the LED generates no heat. I have seen it dripping in particularly humid weather, so I won’t be putting the esp32 (or whatever I end up doing) anywhere near it.

I have a bit of an aversion to smart plugs - they seem like a bit of a kludge. I totally understand there are lots of cases where there’s no other option, but I don’t think this is one. I’m also looking to learn about esp32 and I’m just sanity checking that this is a reasonable thing to do with one.

I feel there must be some error in translation somewhere. The way I’m reading it, 26% of Canadians spend their winter in the US. That can’t be right! Even 26% going for a short holiday there sounds ridiculously high?

I was able to move to the country my wife grew up in - she, as a citizen, sponsored my visa. We moved from an area with relatively high real estate cost (sold for over $1mil - we had a mortgage, but also significant equity) to an area where it’s much, much, cheaper (bought for about $100k currency corrected) so we could retire early - we’re both ~60.

I know what futo is, but I don’t understand what you’re asking for here?

I must be still half asleep because I can’t make sense of that.The article says:

Position 1 - Geographic Region:

    1-5: North America
    6-7: Oceania
    8-9: South America
    A-H: Africa
    J-R: Asia
    S-Z: Europe

Position 2 - Country Code: Within North America (1-5):

    1,4,5: United States
    2: Canada
    3: Mexico

How can any VIN then begin with “5Y”? Their dictionary does not assign a value to “Y” in position 2??

The irony here is that, to me at least, someone that is comfortable being themself is generally much more attractive than someone trying to look good for the sake of looking good.

This makes me so mad. If we can’t do anything to actively help stop the genocide, the very least we can do is not be complicit!

So, we’re on a boat. It starts leaking with these mysterious finger sized holes. Most people start sticking fingers in holes to stop the water, but there are a bunch of people that are worried their finger might get stuck, or a fish might come and bite it or divine intervention will save the boat - and they decide not to stick their finger in a hole, and just for good measure some of the people that won’t stick their finger in a hole go and make a few new holes. You think that’s ok? For a bunch of people to, not only not contribute to saving everyone, but actually make the situation worse? And for there to be no consequences??

I guess it comes down to your definition of “forced”. People were forced to get the vaccine in the same way they are forced to not walk around with a gun indiscriminately firing bullets - you’re welcome to do it in the privacy of your own home (as long as your home is big enough that the bullets won’t leave it) but if you want to participate in a society then you are forced to follow some rules.

OK, I’ll bite. I read the WestJet article. The person won their case because the judge decided WestJet didn’t believe they were serious in their religious basis for their exemption request and therefore didn’t consider options to give the person work in another role that wouldn’t be impacted by their lack of vaccination.

This in no way supports your position that the mandates were somehow illegitimate.

yep - I was still happy with my 4a until they killed its battery. I bought a used 8 Pro. That was about 3 months ago, and it still feels too big.

I wasn’t aware when I first posted this, but am now. I’m struggling to get it working though. My automation to record video for person, vehicle etc. events was working but as I read more I learned that, as you say, it should all happen in camera. So, I’ve turned off the automation and nothing is appearing in the Reolink media folder. I’ve been through and double checked that everything is turned on - that I can find. I’m wondering if I need to turn on FTP upload, or if the Reolink HA integration pretends to be a Reolink PVR? My camera is a RLC-520A, with no SD card, which, if I understand what I’ve read correctly, should have this capability.

Edit: I’ve been reading and playing more. It seems the Reolink media folder is just populated with links to the recordings on the camera SD card - which I don’t have. So, I’ve configured FTP upload to a folder accessible to my Jellyfin - I can now view the videos from my phone, PC and TV. That works for now - I’ll keep playing.

I said my hardware was old and I meant it :-)

Intel® Core™ i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz

I just don’t see any reason to upgrade - I feel it’s doing a lot for me and spends almost all the time at least 90% idle. It was nearer to 98% until I enabled Reolink on my Home Assistant VM - I’m running the highest quality stream from the camera, just to see how it performs.

I’ve been using various versions of keepass for ever. Until recently I had the database on Google drive. It’s now local and sync’d with syncthing. It’s a bit “different”, but once you get used to it, it works very well.

1. If you use the same USB port for this all the time, disable power saving on that port

I use the same port all the time. I want power saving on the port. I like to just get up from my PC and have it go to sleep by itself and wake back up when I come and jiggle the mouse. It’s working exactly as I would like maybe 90% of the time. Just sometimes the external monitor doesn’t wake up.

2. Make sure this isn’t a PD port (this is a laptop design annoyance)

It is a PD port, and it is powering the laptop. I’m not sure why this would be a problem? It’s worked fine for 5-6 years with Windows and works 90% of the time now with Linux.

3. Make sure your monitor’s own power saving settings aren’t the issue by disabling things like “deep sleep” or similar

Again, I’m not sure how this could be a problem for the scenario I describe. The settings work fine 90% of the time. It’s not even time related: sometimes I can come to it first thing in the morning, after it’s been asleep all night, and it wakes perfectly; sometimes I can get up to go get a glass of water and come back and the external monitor won’t wake up. It seems totally random.
