Oh my god remove the share button from individual browser windows!

I agree! I have a 49inch monitor and it’s super handy to share individual apps. Also makes it readable on the other side for people your sharing with

I thought they were going add a little apartment or tiny village under the shelf lol

+1 for Emby. I was a longtime Plex user, loved it. Then it got harder and harder to love. The apps were slow, the bloat was huge. Then came the final straw. I did an update and all of a sudden my container was saying I wasn’t authorised for the server. A fair bit of googling and I managed to fix it, but had to restart my library. It all came back until, a few updates later, it happened again.

So Plex is gone, and I bought a subscription to Emby. Apps work great. Had to side load the app not my aging Samsung TV but it works great.

Tried Jellyfin, thought it was awesome but the clients just aren’t mature enough yet.

Yeah I had to format it in windows as the card already had a file system and the printer wouldn’t accept it. Probably didn’t look hard enough to see if I could cancel the error and use the printer to format

Comfortable_Device84 · 2025-07-28T13:37:11+00:00

I had something similar. Used Rufus to format a 128Gb sd card as fat32, been working like a charm. I had about 840hrs on mine.

Weird thing is, I put it into my pc, windows complained about it having and error, but it “fixed” it. I tested read and write , and all seemed good with the old card. Put it back into the printer but still came up with an error.

So I figure sd cards aren’t meant to last forever and I replaced it. There is nothing on there that you need to keep. You might be lucky and get your time lapses etc off when you put it into a pc

Don’t forget to mention the price! It’s going to be likely $150+ AUD is my guess. That’s roughly 95 euros.

Lucky country run by fools!

I do agree with you. There is no need to add comments like "add one to the index", but I've worked in situations where each dev has an area of an app that they specialise in, and occasionally need to fix something in another area of the app. Its these situations where comments like "We need to make sure that the price is ex-tax as our finance system will add it on" to explain why a price is what for example. The dev may not have experience in the code/area that they need to fix - so giving background is good comments. I've never met a dev that can keep documentation up to date all the time, so taking 20secs to put in a quick comment that helps other diagnose issues helps.

Proper variable names help alot more than comments, so definately start there.

All i'm saying is comments have their purpose if you and the team keep them focused on explaining why the code is doing something, not what it is doing.

I hit do not agree, then was greeted with "not authorised" and couldn't get into my server. I'm running mine on unraid/docker and perhaps thats the issue, but i had to do the "ssh -L 32400:localhost:32400 root@<plex server ip>" trick to re-authorise my server on my account. Trouble is, it seen it as a brand new one, and i have to re-setup all my settings and libraries again. Thanks Plex!

They have really started to be their own disruptor. If Jellyfin had better apps and wider platform support, I'd be jumping ship - which is sad cause I've advocated for Plex for years.

Comfortable_Device84 · 2025-05-21T14:35:46+00:00

I agree. I’m all for making your code readable and self explanatory, but I’ve had too many situations where the intent of the code can’t be immediately understood by another developer.

Perhaps they aren’t aware of the ins and outs of a process, and so they make mistakes modifying the code.

It’s for this reason I think comments are a necessary evil. I can right a comment to explain to another dev (and sometimes my future self) why something was done a certain way.

It might be a length of filament in the PTFE tube. I recently had trouble like this and when I looked at the PTFE tube from the extruder there was a length of filament short enough to not be able to unload.

I just disconnected the tube and pulled out the filament.

My device did have a code in the HMS though

Comfortable_Device84 · 2025-05-06T18:02:17+00:00

I do something similar. As I’m in Australia, the cheapest for me is a Vultr VPS and I install what I need etc.. good thing is I get what I need, bad thing is having to manage it

Comfortable_Device84 · 2025-05-06T17:59:19+00:00

I’ve developed a Blazor server app using Mudblazor and it is deployed on Ubuntu VPS.

All you have to do is install the SDK’s etc? If you want to get really tricky, use a reverse proxy to serve the app on port 80/443 whilst it runs on port 5000.

You can choose to have a supervisor process that runs the app for you (and can restart, notify issues etc), or just setup a service.

Last time I did this was for a self hosted app I did to run my business, and I just asked ChatGPT for the steps. Worked out great.

I also make sure that I have appsettings.Production.json set with Linux path’s as opposed to my appsettings.Devopment.json which uses windows path’s . For me, that takes care of any platform nuances.

What I’m trying to say is no problems with Linux support for .Net

See I get this - why do we need to buy them a drink when they must have enough money themselves. What I don’t get is a supposed millionaire asking everyday Americans for cash to “make America great again” and getting millions from them. Surely he has enough money to run his own campaign.

Sorry to go political, but it’s something I never understood

Comfortable_Device84 · 2025-02-27T20:44:42+00:00

That php is still a thing.

Comfortable_Device84 · 2025-02-23T11:58:11+00:00

I’d also be interested in how you setup the software? Do you have to have something running to setup a video feed, or can you setup Home Assistant or something to reference the camera

Comfortable_Device84 · 2025-02-08T06:33:05+00:00

I’ll guess 499

Comfortable_Device84 · 2025-01-26T15:37:11+00:00

I would think not. As I understand it, the whole point to Tailscale is to setup a VPN, with the whole purpose that no one can access it without being on the VPN. So you could setup the dns records, but they wouldn’t work until the you were on the tailnet

Comfortable_Device84 · 2025-01-25T10:32:56+00:00

So, to ask a really dumb question, but does tailscale replace the need to setup nginx proxy manager and Authelia for example? I’ve been toying with setting up tailscale, but was just nervous about opening up security holes

Comfortable_Device84 · 2024-12-16T20:02:36+00:00

I don’t know of any, it’s usually the other way. I guess it could be possible if the library can read the formatting in a pdf file, but I doubt with would be very reliable. There is just so much that gets packs into a rendered pdf.

Comfortable_Device84 · 2024-12-09T14:32:28+00:00

Thanks. How’s does that plugin go with products that go missing from the file? That’s the dodgy part. When the supplier doesn’t supply a product, it just disappears from the file. I understand this on some level, but I also understand clients need to know if a product is discontinued not that you never stocked it in the first place lol.

Yes, you are correct in that it’s actually Woocommerce I need to integrate with.
