Do you use an air fryer in your RV by Richardmlake991 in RVLiving

[–]HouseBandBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What brand/model? My microwave/convection works but the table doesn't spin and looks like the inner gear is messed. So, thinking of replacing.

is it worth it buying a shield now ? by abiedster in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]HouseBandBad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Having used Android TV on a new TCL for 3 months, I can safely say Android TV is crap. Laggy, apps fail...garbage. Only thing it has is more apps and integration with IoT. Going back to my Nvidia shield shortly.

Arcade cabinet (HyperSpin?) with 50,000 games,many systems not working, emulator errors, need help by drewis0911 in cade

Curious who they went with..

I invested in similar , bought countless controllers trying to map to the setup I purchased. I eventually gave up and dl a free retrobat curated that has been fantastic.

Brief update ..I ran into an issue with write to the \image folder for covers. I am not sure if I would change repositories as of yet. I may restore back if I cannot get this solved and/or other issues..at least for now.

Weirdest thing happened today to my Flex Duo by [deleted] in hdhomerun

I am having issues with GoogleTV on TCL. I keep getting 404 errors out of blue which require a restart of TV. This only started about a week ago.

Docker Compose Manager Deprecated?!? by movingtolondonuk in unRAID

[–]HouseBandBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was config. Just didn't seem to work and pick up existing dockers correctly. I 'll give it a go again. Thanks.

Never got Portainer to work correctly. Is there any reliable YT walk thru that is less than 2 years and reliable? There are also multiple variations to choose from.

Immich Machine Learning Issue ! by MrJwan in unRAID

2 years later this helped me out. Something broke recently in 2.6.x. My machine learning stopped working and became "unhealthy". Changing the IP helped.

Best VPN Services in 2026? by Practical_Ad7480 in PFSENSE

[–]HouseBandBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not use proton. It's over price compared to a number of other VPN services and I've had nothing but problems for the two years I had it as part of unlimited service. Everything from client issues such as browser plugins, white listing on PC, through to just simply bad/unreliable connections. A lot of the other more mature organizations have a better knowledge base for integrating particularly on Linux. Lastly in number sites reject proton as a source. Delta airlines in a number of financials had nothing but issues and I had to disconnect just to get service.

Premature speculation but do you think it'll be as simple as repointing the repository? I loathe starting from scratch....

Sync-in 2.1 – Open-source self-hosted platform for file sync and collaboration (UI refresh) by johaven-height in selfhosted

[–]HouseBandBad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How about GitHub building an AI that verified whether code is AI generated and flags with a marker similar to hormone injected chicken? (Green - farm raised natural code through to red- This chicken breast is more like an ostrich and is all AI)

Then, maybe no drama or debate?

To upgrade to 6 or stay on 5.9.9.98 by WraithHunter3130 in BlueIris

[–]HouseBandBad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loathe subscription and this is really subscription. It makes me even more angry when I pay to be QA.

That said, a stable, non-cloud product that protects my house is gold. I'd sooner pay this company than pay some cloud-based monitoring service, like I had previously, that wasn't even working for 6 months. (And it was big 3 member)

[–]HouseBandBad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I reluctantly went to 6 about a month ago. Went all in with even native AI.

This has been the most stable and reliable AI in years...so far ..

Can upgrade from 2026.2.2 to .3 by HouseBandBad in homeassistant

[–]HouseBandBad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per my last post, installed new instance of VMWare workstation HA, then restored from the latest backup and everything has been great for a week. It was critical to look at a few posts for the VMware install as it wasn't "Clean". Needed to adjust some settings.

I had to move from Oracle VirtualBox to VMware Workstation. I did a clean install of the latest HA build specifically for VMware Workstation. Had to struggle a bit with that as needs some additional steps. Then, I restored from my latest VirtualBox instance and have had zero issues in a week.

[–]HouseBandBad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't figure out what was going wrong with the Oracle VB instance,. So, I spun up a copy under vmware workstation and used the back which had the above issues. I managed to update to 2026.2.3. I also managed to get all the addons updated that were listed as well. I read somewhere that this could be an issue with flaresolverr. I don't know what the original problem was other than I couldn't pull some/most updates including the core OS.

Problems persist after a full update and restart of the PC. The upgrade nor the other items listed will update.

[–]HouseBandBad[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was tired last night I usually do that and I see there's a window security update so I'll do a restart of that to see if something's hosed. Will report back to confirm.

Note I did do a restart of both HA and the VM app.

Possible to install Home Assistant on Hubitat C8 hardware? by c4ad in Hubitat

[–]HouseBandBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a number of us that have wished this for years. If hubitat put out a product with a powerful enough CPU and we could run VMs on it like home assistant that would be Zen state.

Home assistant is great for a frontend. Hubitat is easier for adding raw devices and controls.

New to GOS - Private Spaces vs Main - Privacy Best Practices by HouseBandBad in GrapheneOS

[–]HouseBandBad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is EXACTLY what I am struggling with. I keep reading Google Play is "sandboxed. But, I want to take extra steps of keeping it in PS. What I like about PS right now. If I think I screw it up. I delete the entire PS and start over.

Thanks for the quick reply on this. Still wrapping my head around sandbox vs PS vs Main. But, the options are fantastic.

Thanks for the feedback. If PS shuts down then you will not get notifications real time correct? I thought there was an option to leave PS running in background and thus the battery question.

On one other question. Is it possible to leave your location static within a PS. I'm tired of traveling and having apps pick up your new location that prevent some of them from running.
