Oh I didn’t thing about access points. With something like ZigBee, the switches add to the network range. But for WiFi, each switch will need to be in range of an access point. We have pretty decent coverage but the benefit of using ZigBee is other devices can take advantage of the extended network.

Others have talked about Zwave, I’m not sure which camp they sit in.

Interestingly. I was a bit worried about adding dozens of new WiFi devices but it sounds like it’s not an issue so I will consider the WiFi switches after all.

Sweet, I was a bit wary of WiFi switches but maybe I’ll consider them after all

I was under the impression that WiFi could only handle so many devices connected. 20 years ago if you got more than 10 or 20 some would start getting kicked off. Maybe that was my short router. Is that never an issue with modern routers? Even adding hundreds?

How do WiFi switches do when you have a lot? Is it an issue to put in 50 WiFi switches, wouldn’t that overload the network?

DNS is when your browser asks where to find a website. You enter Lemmy.One in your browser, and your browser asks the DNS resolver the address of the computer the website is hosted on.

Most people will use their internet company’s DNS, and it sounds like France ordered these companies to block some illegal streaming sites by having the DNS server point to a page saying it’s blocked instead of to the website server.

More technical users changed their settings to get DNS from google, Cloudflare, etc instead of the internet company, so now France is going to make those companies block the sites too.

Ah yes, thanks, edited. Using a new keyboard and the autocorrect is still learning.

You already have Jellyfin, maybe test out adding a music library and using Finamp or Fintunes to access it?

I think it’s like this: if your game is not on Steam, you won’t sell many copies. Publishers fight to make sure the game is on Steam.

If your movie isn’t on Steam, the company doesn’t care. No one goes to Steam for movies. So Valve has to fight to get the rights to distribute (and compete with streaming services).

Isn’t that an argument for the existence of this post? Many don’t know this, well, now they do.

I have minor beef with Immich and basically any larger project and the way they go about their Docker Compose. Basically I feel they make the assumption that they’re the only thing running.

^Disclaimer: I fully accept this is all just me being too stupid and not the Immich development team.

This might be my turn to be too stupid but isn’t the point of docker that they all run in containers so it doesn’t matter? They can all use the same database port, because the database is in a container and so doesn’t prevent another database container using the same port. The port doesn’t need to be exposed to the host.

The only issue that comes up when running lots of services is accessing them all over http, and that’s what a reverse proxy is for. I run a dozen services on the same machine, mostly using the default docker compose files, and never have to mess with things like you have here.

If you struggled with the UI because you’re familiar with Photoshop, you may want to have a look at PhotoGIMP.

Otherwise Photopea.com is a free online photoshop clone.

My instance’s image cache is like 230GB. Plus a bunch more for the db. Can confirm storage is needed.

(unrelated question 😶 - anyone running pictrs 0.5 on local storage happily?)

Thanks! I managed to get it working using one automation with three triggers (original trigger, plus one trigger for each of the two actions), where I have a conditional checking which of the triggers was the one that started the automation. It seems to work 🙂

Oh that sounds like a better way of handling it! When I get a chance I’ll take another stab at it and see if I can get it working your way.

Thanks!

I got it working, though it seemed to be a combination of two things. I added the timeout, but it didn’t help. Then I read that sometimes calling a general notification doesn’t work, so I set it to specifically my phone and suddenly it worked! I removed the timeout, and broken again, so it definitely needs the timeout (despite saying it’s optional), so thanks for that tip! Weird that it still fires and recognises the trigger, but it just doesn’t do other actions because the automation already aborted.

Is there any issue setting super long timeouts? Can I set it to 24 or 48 hours without issue?

I just ran it through one, and it says it’s valid.

Home Assistant actually seems to validate it as well.

I was surprised to see that I could see other users’ documents.

TBH this is how I expected it to work. A shared family document repository. I’m not against having more granular permissions, though!

I use Kavita. I have some minor complaints but in general it works.

I haven’t tried others though, so can’t say if it’s the best or not.
