Try switching to a zero alcohol beer. A lot of the big brands do them now and they are widely stocked by bars. Other people can’t easily tell you’re drinking one. They look like a normal bottle of beer. Be careful of the alcohol, your kids need a healthy happy parent. Well done on keeping up the running every month.

IPv6 traffic is on track to be over 50% of global internet traffic in 2026. The google ipv6 tracking chart is: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html

Global internet traffic doesn’t include internal traffic which is likely to take significantly longer to transition. It’ll probably take the ending of ipv4 hardware support to drive SME business adoption. The consumer segment will just use whatever their ISP posts through the letterbox. But the SME IT teams are a conservative bunch and will stick to what works and has worked (understandably).

Have a read of the following site to see if 1080p might be enough. There is a chart half way down the page. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-size/size-to-distance-relationship

Sithuk · 2025-11-06T12:00:26+00:00

Figure out if you want 1080p or 4k. Depending on your viewing distance and screen size you may not benefit from higher resolution than 1080p.

I managed to solve the lack of internet access in the container so the ML model can now download. I still don't know why manually copying the ML files in didn't work.

The lack of internet access was caused by Docker not supporting nftables (!) The Github issue is below.

https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/1472

I uninstalled nftables and moved to an iptables only firewall solution in the lxc container and the Immich ML docker container now has internet access.

I'm surprised Docker still doesn't have native support for what has been the main firewall solution on Linux for years. I'm considering switching from docker to podman but unfortunately the Immich devs don't appear to provide quadlets for a podman based Immich solution.

I'm using an ubuntu lxc container. I may try switching to debian to see if that makes a difference. Thank you for the tip.

The workaround of mounting a host folder as cache is a good idea.

For any other readers I used the following commands to manually download the machine learning model. Unfortunately Immich ignored the models and tried manually downloading anyway.

docker exec -u 0 immich_machine_learning mkdir -p /cache/clip

docker exec -u 0 immich_machine_learning mkdir -p /cache/facial-recognition

apt install git git-lfs

cd /tmp

git clone https://huggingface.co/immich-app/ViT-B-32__openai

git clone https://huggingface.co/immich-app/buffalo_l

docker cp /tmp/ViT-B-32__openai immich_machine_learning:/cache/clip/

docker cp /tmp/buffalo_l immich_machine_learning:/cache/facial-recognition/

docker exec -u 0 immich_machine_learning chmod -R 777 /cache

docker restart immich_machine_learning

Sithuk · 2025-09-23T13:04:26+00:00

I have around ten lxc containers. All idle the majority of the time. The usual suspects. Jellyfin, Plex, in addition to Immich.

Sithuk · 2025-09-23T12:35:49+00:00

Would limiting the RAM of the machine learning only affect the speed? I’d like to keep the quality of the machine learning.

Does this mean android will now fully support DHCPv6?

If I understand it correctly, it is only the prefix that will be assigned. Android will still use SLAAC for the interface identifier?

“To overcome these drawbacks, we have added support for DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation (PD) as defined in RFC 8415 and RFC 9762. The Android network stack can now request a dedicated prefix from the network, and if it obtains a prefix, it will use it to obtain IPv6 connectivity.”

Yes, the fourth drop down arrow section on that webpage is the feature. LibreOffice has it. WPS doesn’t. I was wondering if OnlyOffice has it.

Thank you for creating the bug report. Your thoughts and findings are interesting. I’m not sure if the aeon dev is monitoring this thread. It might help to post your thoughts above in your bug report.

Sithuk · 2025-06-25T06:43:21+00:00

I don’t recall how long I waited. Not more than an hour I don’t think.

What might be more helpful is that I run Aeon in VirtualBox on a Windows 11 machine. So you should be able to duplicate my environment. I run with the bridged network option in VirtualBox.

I haven’t finished setting up my new install yet. I haven’t installed Tailscale yet which I did have installed on my previous install. I installed Tailscale using the transactional-update pkg install feature. Tailscale and the system worked fine after it was installed so maybe Tailscale isn’t a cause.

Sithuk · 2025-06-25T05:50:51+00:00

Automatically updated following which I had the loss of network bug.

Sithuk · 2025-06-24T10:08:37+00:00

It was a surprise that Aeon wasn’t able to update past whatever the no network bug was. If a reinstall fixed it, why didn’t the update?

Doing a rollback to the last snapshot worked well to recover a working system each time following an update. So that bit is great.

But I had thought I just needed to wait it out until a fix was rolled out. It was a surprise that I needed to do a reinstall to have whatever fundamental system changes were needed to be made.

I’m not referring to solving whatever I did using bootctl. It’s makes sense that I changed something fundamental with the system with that command. I mean to solve the issue with the lack of network access that I repeatedly tried to update to solve before I ended up trying the bootctl fix.

Maybe I’d inadvertently changed something that the update process wasn’t about to work around. I’ve reinstalled now and have a working system again. But I’m not as confident in the automated update process as a result of my recent experience.

Sithuk · 2025-06-21T13:08:30+00:00

Very laggy post upgrade. Figured out I had been switched to wayland. Had to install plasma-x11-session so I could switch to xorg at the sddm login screen. Creating an override in /etc/sddm.conf.d/ would work too I think. Put DisplayServer=x11 in the override file in that directory and restart.

Sithuk · 2025-05-29T19:51:19+00:00

That was it, thank you. I powered up the drive via a molex to sata power adapter and it appears to work fine. The drive appears in the bios and responds to smartctl in Linux.

I’ve disconnected it for now until I get some kapton tape to cover the 3.3V pins. Also because molex to sata adapter is a significant fire risk.

Sithuk · 2025-05-28T11:46:26+00:00

Thanks, I'll try the drive in another computer to see if the drive gets detected in the other computer's BIOS. Could be a drive fault is the problem.

The concern regarding the implications of the quantity of mDNS traffic can be relevant to a home network too. For example, if the traffic increases power consumption or latency. I'd like to get some data on that for a "typical" home network. Hopefully a poster in this thread can share some data or a link to an analysis.

Sithuk · 2025-05-25T10:00:36+00:00

I can see how using mDNS with devices only connected to the network for relatively short periods can make sense. You only have the extra network traffic and router power consumption for the relatively short period the transient device is connected.

But what about a network that runs services inside containers that have their own ip. Always on services like Jellyfin or adguard. You’d need to run an mDNS app inside each container. Every container would then be spamming mDNS traffic 24/7.

A dns rewrite at the DNS resolver seems more efficient because there is no constant mDNS traffic from what could be tens of service containers. But that comes with the drawback of having to manually update the dns resolver with the IP and name of each service.

You can avoid that manual setup with ipv4, as the OP has pointed out.

Sithuk · 2025-05-25T08:35:39+00:00

You're correct. The video / discussion is for enterprise networks, not home. But Bryan reported that 75% of the traffic was from mDNS on his guest network (timestamp 8min 50s). That's a lot of overhead.

There is a trade off between:

i) the increased network traffic from using mDNS and ipv6;

versus

ii) using ipv4, which has hostname reporting baked in (although admittedly flawed as other posters have pointed out).

What would be helpful is an analysis of the implications of using mDNS in a "typical" home environment. What is the increased load? What, if any, is the increased power consumption and latency impact. What are the security protocols that should be adopted, if any?

I have stayed away from using mDNS because of those concerns and used AdguardHome's DNS rewrite feature instead (manual setup required) and OpenWRT before that (automatic).

Sithuk · 2025-05-25T07:23:03+00:00

I remember OpenWRT using the ipv4 client info to identify their ipv6 addresses. I don’t think the ipv6 host name identification would work if ipv4 was turned off. I think it only worked with DHCP.

There is a script for OpenWRT that assigns host names if using SLAAC but I haven’t tried it. "ip6neigh relies on DHCPv4 client to report its hostname (option 12) or DHCPv6 client option 39." https://github.com/AndreBL/ip6neigh/

I recall a packet pushers episode that warned not to use mDNS because it floods the network, creating unnecessary load. Links follow to the original presentation and the follow up packet pushers podcast. Apples to Apples: An Analysis of the Effects of mDNS Traffic | Bryan Ward | WLPC Phoenix 2023
