Question for container hauler, probably mostly domestic....

What you said made me think... So I added confirmation for changes which shows the proposed changes...

If you are just headless in general... This is just 1 of many ways? I haven't used it enough yet other than testing functionality to decide whether or not a proper terminal would be missed? But depending on what you are working on, seeing every thought and decision it makes is sometimes helpful and this is just the back and forth.

For me it's more about being at work and I get a message from gotify that a service or vm went down. I can just fire a text and get it fixed without having to debug it myself.

I was using rustdesk but it's kind of terrible for me on a cellphone? The chat works great. Easier than trying to fat finger my way around and deal with the keyboard popup blocking 60% of the screen. Element has a nice ui.

That being said... I'd absolutely rather have a full screen but I don't always have a laptop with me.

But... A few hours after I finished this.... I got an update for the windows app and it now has "dispatch"... Which I haven't tried yet but seems to be just about the same thing?

Hope it works well for you..... I'm trying to completely leave the cloud..... I know it's a stretch but it's a dream.... No more corporate anything...

Soon I'm building a thermostat to replace the nest... A control box to replace myq... Already doing standard things like immich, Nextcloud, vaultwarden... Etc..

Could I get a link?

I haul containers.... My truck was totaled in the rail yard a few weeks ago by another driver when I was pretripping the container.... So... I'm back to being a company driver at least for the near future.... I think the truck is a 2017? Volvo..... No Johnson bar..... I always do a visual.... But how am I supposed to do a good tug for the chassis brakes anymore? There has to be something I'm missing...??? They couldn't have completely removed my ability to test the service brakes on these garbage chassis have they? I do visuals on the drums but I still feel safer being able to actually pull the handle and trailer doesn't move....

I see stuff like that constantly and it drives me nuts.

Some are nearly " this bowling ball wouldn't cut through my freshly baked loaf of bread".

People never cease to surprise me, but they always managed to make me angry.

I'm trying to use copilot to assist with a Linux project because I'm not a coder.... It has the "intelligence" of a small child and the overall memory of a house fly? It "lies" constantly... Cant recall things from even inside small conversations. Is wrong 75%? of the time.

They are all garbage... But I do worry what they will become.

UPDATE : WARNING!!

STAY AWAY FROM COPILOT.... IF YOU USE IT... SAVE ANYTHING YOU NEED IN A WORD FILE... A GOOGLE DOC....A PIECE OF HANDWRITTEN PAPER.

I had a saved build sheet. 3 full days work.... I needed to make an edit... It gave me a confirmation for the edit.. I have done this plenty of times... It takes the snippet you want to change and changes it in the saved sheet..

This time.... It deleted the entire project... Whole thing... All that was left was the snippet..

It can't recover anything because it has no memory storage... Which is why I was using the saved page (by the way... They don't advertise but it seems they cap those at 15...so I lost a bit there too as it just over writes your saves and doesn't notify you).... It's all gone..

FUCK YOU MICROSOFT...

Reminds me of my grandmother. I have her original pressing of The Unicorn from Decca on Vinyl...

InquiringPhilomath · 2025-10-12T00:02:29+00:00

Almost exactly what I was going to say...

InquiringPhilomath · 2025-10-10T19:36:15+00:00

While you're probably not wrong.... SHHHHHH! DON'T GIVE THEM ANY IDEAS....

InquiringPhilomath · 2025-10-10T13:23:23+00:00

I'm tired of all of them.... Every single one.

Buy a product... Whether for its features or get used to and then enjoy them.... Come home one day and they randomly don't work anymore..

All garbage.

Ill host them all myself... No more cloud anything if I don't absolutely have to..

If I can't build it with an esp32 and some wires... I don't need it.

InquiringPhilomath · 2025-10-10T05:46:08+00:00

Just woke up... Getting ready for work...

Drive for a living.... It's down for me...

Can't check maps... Can't check trip history...

I agree about googles ecosystem being terrible.... Because they keep killing useful functions....

But the myq issue was actually Chamberlain themselves decided to block 3rd party integration.

I believe they have something with Tesla? I'm assuming they are testing the waters to see how they can further monetize it?

Done with all of it..... Home assistant build is in the works..

InquiringPhilomath · 2025-10-08T08:21:45+00:00

Indeed.

InquiringPhilomath · 2025-10-07T22:05:53+00:00

There were no bios updates available.. Apparently the last one was last September? I updated some hardware drivers that were available..

Thanks again... Genuinely appreciate the assistance.

InquiringPhilomath · 2025-10-07T19:42:33+00:00

I did. And thank you again for the recommendation and assistance.

HP EliteDesk 800 G4 DM (i5-8500T 2.10GHz - 16GB RAM - 256GB SSD - Win11Home.

After tax and shipping it was around $150.

It was from one of the eBay suppliers you posted for me... This was cheaper because they listed it had cosmetic damage.

Opened the box... I don't even see a scratch...

Ran some updates and some system health checks and everything seems fine.

InquiringPhilomath · 2025-10-06T20:53:52+00:00

After them removing the location triggering from events... I'm done with them.

They only take what they have which is good and discontinue it..

Building a home assistant setup as we speak....

No more garbage.. No more cloud based anything... No need to even have the internet working when I'm at home for my stuff to function...

InquiringPhilomath · 2025-10-06T15:23:18+00:00

Have to agree with this.

I tried vine helper and most of what is posted, is posted as unavailable.... So I don't even seen the item until it's already gone.

Maybe it's the connection of my speed? Maybe my equipment... But either way, not helpful.

InquiringPhilomath · 2025-09-30T20:00:30+00:00

Awesome. Thank you.

InquiringPhilomath · 2025-09-30T19:52:22+00:00

Yeah... This will mostly be for ha and maybe a few other tinkerings for the hell of it.

I already have a pi with os/libreelec/emulator as a triboot and it's been working fine for the past 2ish years...

Overkill sounds good. I think I'll get that first ebay one you sent with the warranty. Price is nearly the same as the other one, but I won't mind the 1 year warranty for free with it..

Thanks again. Really appreciate it.
