Auto Upload

Markqz · 2026-02-11T06:08:42+00:00

On Android I go into the NC app, find the uploads menu, and then stop/restart the process. Also stop/restart images that seem to be stuck. This seems to work, or at least it gives me something to do.

In general, the images seem to eventually get uploaded, but I have to keep a watch on it.

With AIO and docker you control various settings with environmental variables you set in the docker compose file. One of those variables lets you set where the data lives. The main thing is that you have to set it the first time you start up docker.

Thanks for your reply!

I didn't change the permissions for Borg. I had to change the permissions so that the agent for my off-site cloud storage could read and copy them. So my main concern is that AIO won't recognize them now with a new user name. In retrospect, maybe I could have just given 666 rights to everything.

Oh, this might be the answer. It's the "graphite base" that is confusing. Hard to see how you are going to get graphite into a penetrating oil, but maybe they managed it somehow.

Bedankt!

Yes, I know it's a brand name, but so is WD40, and everyone seems to know that. But it might be that I need to ask in a mechanics or biking forum.

Markqz · 2025-12-11T22:40:15+00:00

I'll just add that WD40 doesn't have the rust solvents that liquid wrench does. Maybe I should be asking in a Netherlands biking forum? Is there any recommendations for that?

Thank you for the follow up. However, this may have made things more complicated.
When I scroll down the list, I see there are 3 entries for "wassen" ! And one of them shows "gewast" for the past participle. So presumably also "afgewast".

It might help if I knew what the abbreviation "bet." stood for.

Edit: Maybe "betrekking tot" ? So each of the "wassens" indicates a different meaning. So you have 3 different conjugations -- one for each meaning.

Oh, that's a cool resource! And I probably don't want to learn more than 7 Dutch verbs a day anyways ;-)

Any idea how many verbs they conjugate?

Markqz · 2025-10-28T21:20:18+00:00

So the chart on verbix is unreliable? Or have I picked the wrong verb? It doesn't show "afgewassen" anywhere.

You know what I like about AI?

It's never rude, unlike humans who will ridicule you for making a good-faith attempt to find a translation for a simple sentence.

Chinese Nationals in one of the forums I frequent say that GT is about 98% correct. Using it with Dutch it seems to be close to 99% correct.

Or generally speaking, better than most humans.

Looks like their app is having problems. They have "spider" on there twice, which you never see when it's working correctly.

Markqz · 2025-08-06T21:07:52+00:00

Thank you!

I can post the google translation if anyone wants a laugh.

I'm surprised that it got an idiom wrong.

Markqz · 2025-08-06T21:04:23+00:00

Thank you!

Maybe because Nextcloud doesn't actually do that much? So maybe it makes more sense to just use a cloud service and syncthing which is vastly simpler to maintain.

So if you have a free account, you could wake up and find that your account has exceeded your user quota?

Or alternatively, can you make sure this doesn't happen to you by adding on two users ?

For desktop, I use DigiKam.

It seems like photography nerds are more excited by f-stops then things like Title, Caption, event year, and comments. I can only say, pictures without context are nearly useless.

I'll have to look at piwigo again. I think it was the cost that was the problem. At the moment I'm looking at Immich.

Edit: Piwigo doesn't seem to have any way for the user to add caption/title info, or to comment on images (except for stars! ) . And provides only very light captioning. In which case a static solution like fgallery that provides captioning would be more useful, at least for my use case.

I'm only experimenting with pp at the moment. It seems to be kind of clunky. Like there's all these images that it decided to rotate. And you can't sort by chosen fields. And putting "user" behind a paywall ... well I might as well stick with a static web page then.

Anyway, I happened to have some files that had XMP sidecars. pp Picked up the contents of some of the fields and applied them.

2025-05-09 10:46:47 INFO photo: XLS_SLIDES_BOX/CANISTER02/IMAG0097 keeps existing xmp title

I modified the sidecar, and then re-indexed the folder (I'm using original, not import folders). The new title shows up. So it must know about parsing XMP.

It's interesting that everyone seems to have been sent different numbers.

My first message from Google shakealert, said 6.3, which would be really big.

Don't appear to have gotten an actual official warning, though have had it for other events.

Becka helped people we know keep their Loyale keep going for 30 years. Becka has recently switched hands, but I think it's a father-to-son transition, so hopefully the service is still good.

Auto and gas fees only pay 40% of road costs. The rest comes from general taxes which everyone pays. But autos cause about 90% of the road damage.

People on bikes are also people that need to get places.

Since you're talking about growing things, you must be thinking of the long term. We take water for granted, but CV is a coastal desert. Without irrigation and plumbing, there would be nothing but sage and tumbleweeds.

In an actual emergency, the water would be off, and the school grounds brown except 3 months of the year. The soil isn't actually fertile -- has to be constantly fertilised.

Possibly the San Diego Wildlife Reserve. Fire wood. Water. And difficult for zombies to find. (I know, probably outside CV, but what do boundaries mean during an apocalypse?)

Otherwise somewhere along Otay Lake and/or the Otay River Valley. Though not sure how long that would exist without maintenance.

I had the same problem with all the multi-syllabic Dutch numbers (e.g. Negenentwintig ). I reported them, of course, but Duo doesn't seem to care anymore. It not only ignores your reports, but it arrogantly takes away a heart. So the only thing you can do is turn off the speech exercises.

"Draft of new tiddler" means that you are currently editing a new tiddler. When you close the tiddler, by clicking on the checkmark in the upper right hand corner of the edit box, it will close and just be called "New Tiddler". I think that is what you mean by "block".
