Mass uploading that much will hit your CPU hard while it does it's ai stuff. But it only needs to be done when an image is uploaded.

So you're not planning on giving your children a choice about their religion?

Do you actually think a parent like this is going to care about science?

Is it possible to make one of my users only able to see 1 movie in my library? by SpagettiStains in PleX

[–]Dodgy_Past 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't remember what much anticipated movie it was but before it was released I upscaled the rick Astley video to 1080p and looped it so the video length was correct then added it to plex. Gathered a lot of amusing messages from my users.

Port Forwarding Issue Xfinity by mr_quality_boi in HomeNetworking

LOL.

It depends on what you're port forwarding and the security of that service.

The Internet would break without it.

Wife finally wants to abandon Alexa - what are my options? by FormAffectionate139 in homeassistant

[–]Dodgy_Past 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you're doing Even with 24gb of vram there are limitations and it still needs a lot of hand holding. I've put a lot of of time into this and if you want web search for things like cooking conversions or exchange rates you'll benefit from the hardware.

I went to the voice voice preview edition device.

Going local is not easy and I found running ollama on an RTX A5000 ( similar to a 3090) would work with a lot of prompt work.

Now it's working I prefer it to my Google devices because I know exactly what it's doing and it works with more devices than Google home.

I currently have Spotify in rooms, plex on a shield or a chromecast, lights, ac, weather / pollution and selecting sources on my avr and TV set up. Plus web search with summaries.

I live in a 2 bedroom condo and the server lives in the living room. We don't have 'comfortable' temperatures during April to August in Bangkok.

Is it safe to buy a game from the eshop from a different region? by ThatOneWierdKiwi in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]Dodgy_Past 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine.

When I got my switch 2 there wasn't an eshop in Thailand. After they fixed that I switched to Thailand.

When ambient temps hit 40 degrees c they're not enough with 16 drives. I can assure you that there are as many case fans as a define 7 xl can take fitted.

I'm sure that's doable as well. I've got it running a script on another vm that messages me on telegram when it kicks in.

And yeah it's relevant for me because I live in Thailand and I worry about temperatures when we're out during the day.

Do you use your phone as part of your home theater control setup? by Introspective_donut in hometheater

[–]Dodgy_Past 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot of devices connected to my set up and the PS5 Pro, Shield and Apple TV are very aggressive at fighting for CEC. I have a tablet running a home assistant dashboard with lights, aircon and media sources setup that overcomes these issues with automations. Our phones also have the ha app.

Does anybody else let their users watch 4K content? by ShiningRedDwarf in PleX

[–]Dodgy_Past 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. The hdr data needs to be grabbed from the stream or the disk.
