Performance mostly, encoding is better, reducing load on my NAS and using it specifically for storage. Immich performs better as well, it’s pretty resource hungry I found. I also am planning to set up Frigate for home security and that’s the main reason I wanted something with a bit more power.
I just recently discovered proxmox and am slowly moving my docker containers off my NAS. Picked up a used Intel NUC, i5-8259, 32gb ram, 512gb HDD. It’s been great so far, very happy with its ability paired with proxmox.
I downloaded and tested as well and noticed right away there is no sleep timer which I use every night. I actually quite like the audiobook shelf app. It’s served my wife and I quite well this past year.
I think it’s mostly to do with their advertising tactics and misleading people in what their service is actually doing.
They also had a data breach and did not handle it well.
Maybe there’s other stuff I don’t remember… I’ve never used them, I’ve been on Mullvad for some years now but considering proton next.
I’ve got a pineapple habanero cider in its last week before I bottle it right now.
Used apple juice as the base for primary, infused habanero into pineapple juice and added into secondary fermentation. It’s pretty spicy, I’m going to back sweeten with pineapple concentrate I think and then pasteurize.
The lights we have definitely require the app and an account to get them to do anything other than solid white.
Thanks I will look into those products as well as Home Assistant. I’ve yet to pull the trigger on installing HA, I don’t have a lot of devices that have made me want to use it yet. We only have a couple Google speakers and Chromecasts.
Apparently it’s to detect nearby devices so that you don’t have to pair the traditional way.
The other thing that bothers me about these lights is they have a built in microphone that listens for music playing and can adjust the lights to match the music. I haven’t looked myself but some users on Reddit have posted about the amount of network activity with Govee cloud and Google Analytics being very high.
If I can isolate them from accessing the internet and connect through Home Assistant locally then I may keep them… These are sort of a trial run for future permanent Christmas/Occasion lights on the outside of the house.
Have you read The Expanse? How does it compare?
I think it’s debated a lot but from what I remember it’s because the sky is a big empty space, the Eagles are sentient and do what they want, the nazgul patrol the sky and dead kings sense the ring. Sauron has an eye that is ever watching. It would’ve been too dangerous and risky to lose the ring for the Eagles while the enemy still lived.
I use an android device and my NAS is a Synology ds923. Jellyfin wasn’t nearly as smooth an experience for me as Plex was. I’m willing to switch to FOSS but it doesn’t seem as good yet…
What exactly is he talking about? Which law prohibits the specific ‘free speech’ he is referring to?
Do you have an offsite backup? Or do you only backup specifics? Like 10-20% of that?
I’ve been to Paris 3 times, I’m from BC in Canada. April, May and October I went. Had an amazing time every time, people, food, places. It’s one of my favorite cities.
I live in southern BC and heat with a newer Carrier heat pump. The outdoor unit is a 28 seer model paired with an indoor ducted unit. It works fairly well until a week or two when we have -25c and below which I switch to our baseboard. I’m a home builder and built the house and it’s definitely better than a 1990 or older home but nowhere near the efficiency we are building today.
Our electric rates are $0.142/kWh. I don’t know what gas is as I don’t have the option.
I do agree that heat pumps struggle with colder temps and northern homes, especially older ones, aren’t going to be able to heat consistently through the winter. Storms and outages also are an issue but gas won’t heat a house if there’s no power either.
Gas is cheap and it is fairly efficient (debatable) but the rest of your comment is silly. My wife and I and a child of 5 live in a 1000sqft house (two floors total 2k sqft) and heat and cool with a heat pump. Electric on demand water. Nothing crazy about the building as far as insulation and air sealing. 2012 build-to-code. Our electricity bills are NEVER over $200 a month and usually under $150 a month. We haven’t had a power outage in two years and the last one was scheduled for about 1 hour.
If you want to argue for gas make better points. Electricity is cheap and reliable. I don’t disagree that gas is cheap also and that we shouldn’t entirely abandon gas and I’m a realist in thinking we can’t eliminate it entirely and suddenly.
Ceramic/glass top electric is shit. I’ve used gas and induction a fair amount, but at home I have a mid range priced electric ceramic and it’s terrible compared to the other two options.
I think it’s to save them from sexual orientation education in schools? Some people think teaching our kids about gender fluidity and acceptance will somehow make them gay.
!kootenays@lemmy.ca (BC) is not growing much but could be added?
Thanks a lot for Immich and for posting here. Much appreciated the hard work this year and helping myself and family on our self hosted journey.
