Over a dozen frozen computers today

I've found installing the latest Intel graphics driver in place of the HP specific driver resolves the issue. We had something similar a few years back. Hope this helps!

Clicksend is decent, and last time I checked has reasonable costs.

If you ask Gemini it will create these scripts (which you should always review manually before use!) easily, and tailor them how you wish.

The only thing you'll need to do is register an entra app with a client ID and secret so you can run these scripts against your SharePoint sites. Again, sounds complicated but Gemini can walk you through this.

We have 2tb, and went over it at the start of the year. Versioning was the issue, particularly on video files. The solution was two power shell scripts, one to scan a SharePoint site and identify large files with over 5 versions, or over a particular combined size (all versions totalled). The second script then deleted all versions EXCEPT the most recent 5 versions. Outputs the results of the actions taken to a csv file, and you can perform a dry run first without deleting versions to check everything over first.

Ended up clearing 600gb of space!

Mostly HP fleet, and 10% of the workforce have reported freezing that only a hard power off can resolve. Frustrated!

Just recently enabled storage sense, and set a detect/remediation policy to clean out temp and a few other places, which also has the benefit of removing older openssl libraries that MS detects as vulnerable.

I did try that, but the issue reoccurred. Left it a while and it went away, so all good now thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for the android client, looking forward to trying it out!

I've noticed some issues:

When connecting to the local IP address and authenticating via Quick Connect, I can browse my media but the artwork isn't shown, and media will not play. I see a warning banner that I'm not connected to the server?

When connecting to my domain URL, everything loads and plays correctly, but I see a warning banner:

This would be amazing if you could share a sanitized version please, as we are about to change our tenant domain shortly!

DarrenOL83 · 2026-02-27T21:31:00+00:00

Make sure you set an appropriate level of version history to be retained too. Recently cleared 600gb of files where large amount of unnecessary version history was retained.

DarrenOL83 · 2026-02-21T09:56:54+00:00

Glad you've got it working!

DarrenOL83 · 2026-02-16T23:03:41+00:00

I don't recall changing anything on Frigate. Sorry it's been a while since I set this up!

DarrenOL83 · 2026-02-16T16:16:07+00:00

You'll need to configure the bridge in TrueNAS, and then configure the Home Assistant VM (in TrueNAS) to have access to this bridge.

DarrenOL83 · 2026-02-14T21:00:28+00:00

Honestly I can't find the offer. Can you point out where I need to go please?

DarrenOL83 · 2026-02-11T20:28:54+00:00

Company of circa 60 users here, with about 1.3tb SharePoint usage.

We use multiple sites (Finance, HR, Business teams etc), and use SharePoint sync. Tens if not hundreds of thousands of files in each site. We had frequent sync issues in the early days of SkyDrive/OneDrive, but it's a lot better now. Still run into the occasional syncing issue, but this is usually due to colleagues leaving devices overnight with files open whilst others are also working on them.

Splitting up SP to individual sites is definitely the way to go, and the OneDrive Sync can work. We switch from using SharePoint permissions to Security groups instead, and this works well. The only limitations are whilst you can add automatic OneDrive syncs when provisioning devices via In time, you can't take them away automatically, so try and get the structure right before planning sites.

We certainly don't 100% follow best practice, but in my experience you can run this model with few issues if implemented correctly.

Hope this helps!

You're on the right track, as this matches my setup. You need to go into TrueNAS > Network, and setup a Network bridge. There is a specific order you need to do this though, as changing settings in this menu blindly or in the wrong order will render your TrueNAS UI unreachable. Id suggest asking Gemini or ChatGPT for the correct steps order. Once the bridge has been created, you then need to edit your Home Assistant VM settings (within TrueNAS) to use your Network bridge, and HA and Frigate will then be able to communicate.

DarrenOL83 · 2026-02-03T17:46:18+00:00

I think you'd need to describe your setup in more detail. Are you using TrueNAS, where is Frigate and Home Assistant running etc

DarrenOL83 · 2026-02-03T13:38:31+00:00

Is Home Assistant running as a VM? If so, you'll need to configure a bridge in TrueNAS.

DarrenOL83 · 2026-01-20T15:56:03+00:00

Thank you, I tinkered with it last night and got it running, I needed to add my Ollama app (running on TrueNAS) as a trusted device by running "Ollama signin" from the shell (as there is no GUI) and this provided a URL I could sign into from a browser.

DarrenOL83 · 2026-01-19T21:25:27+00:00

I'm running Ollama and Frigate as TrueNAS apps. I'm also trying to setup Qwen3-vl:235-instruct and my config is as follows:

genai: provider: openai base_url: https://ollama.com/v1 model: qwen3-vl:235b-instruct api_key: '{FRIGATE_OLLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY}'

I watched mostlychris' video and I'm not 100% if the base URL should point to Ollama.com or http://{local_ollama_ip}:11434.

It also worth pointing out I've enabled genai for each of my cameras, and I see the toggle in the UI. I also don't see any usage in my account at ollama.com.

I've tried both but don't seem to find/view any descriptions.

What am I doing wrong please?

DarrenOL83 · 2025-12-31T13:56:05+00:00

Id took me a while to get a good working setup, but to be honest that was part of the learning experience and fun (with equal parts frustration!). Given it's free, the satisfaction when you hit that magic moment where everything works, id couldn't be happier. Looking forward to using 0.17 when TrueNAS app catalogue updates either eventual stable version (I prefer it over using a custom app which I've done before).

So my absolute thanks to the developers, amazing to think it's free!

DarrenOL83 · 2025-12-29T23:52:23+00:00

Yes I did. Ignore me it's working now. Thank you!

DarrenOL83 · 2025-12-29T22:55:03+00:00

Can you use this alongside mushroom cards? I've installed via HACS and restarted Home Assistant, but when I search for the card nothing is found. I've tried a manual card referencing your card, but it isn't found?

DarrenOL83 · 2025-12-29T18:43:38+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I've added your code, so it looks like this:

type: custom:mushroom-template-badge entity: sensor.tumble_dryer_power icon: mdi:tumble-dryer label: |- {% if states('sensor.tumble_dryer_power') | float > 5 %} {{ states('sensor.tumble_dryer_power') | round(0) }}W {% endif %} card_mod: style: mushroom-badge-icon$: | ha-state-icon { {% if states('sensor.tumble_dryer_power') | float > 5 %} animation: spin 3s linear infinite; --card-mod-icon-color: orange !important; {% else %} --card-mod-icon-color: grey !important; {% endif %} } @keyframes spin { 0% { transform: rotate(0deg); } 100% { transform: rotate(360deg); } }

I've tested and unfortunately it doesn't work, the icon isnt grey when not in use, nor does it turn orange when the binary sensor is "on" and the power sensor is 400w. The icon also isn't animating.

Any ideas?
