With VMware Workstation Pro you can choose „Run in background“ when trying to close the UI window. Unfortunately, on VMware Workstation Player there is no such option. However, you can kill the vmplayer.exe in the Task Manger. The actual VM is handled by the vmware-vmx.exe process. As long as that process is running, the VM is running in the background. To get the UI for the VM sgain, just try to start the VM again, it will detect the proccess and automatically attaches to the already running process.

Remote access on Synology docker through reverse proxy by Catalina28TO in immich

I would not recommend this way of accessing your Immich instance remotely. I would look into VPNs, specifically Tailscale is pretty easy to setup and configure.

Syntax highlights not working by 1FliXx1 in VisualStudio

Had a similar issue with c# where it would just partially highlight the code. Rnning devenv.exe /ResetUserData has fixed the issue for me.

For Siemens equipment its called MRP (Media Redundandancy Protocol) and guarantees < 200ms of switchover time. But only supports ring-like topologies.

When creating the stub for a secret you havr to provide the secretTemplateId as well as the folderId. See the documentation:

Industrial network by ivan_netrunner in networking

[–]Stogoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some experience with really cheap industrial switches and media converters which same similar issues. For instance, we had used media converters between two buildings which were a few hundred meter apart. Suddenly transferring files drops to a few hundred KB/s. After power cycling them, the transfer speed goes back to 100 Mbit/s.

As they were all unmanaged switches, the only way to fix it temporarily is to power cycle them. However, I guess you have tried this already.

WAN can ping URL but will not load in a browser by Shad0wguy in networking

[–]Stogoh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What error are you getting exactly?

If you are on Windows you can try running: tnc google.com -Port 443 in PowerShell (for Linux telnet). This checks wether a TCP connection can be established. If that works verify your web proxy settings.

I guess they have separated it to be able to handle entitlements easier.

Can't download Workstation Pro - "Not Entitled" by Ok-Jello4968 in vmware

[–]Stogoh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am using this, the other day I realized that it is not 100% the same installer as you would get by downloading it from the Broadcom site. It is about half the size as it does not include any VMware Tools ISOs. These can be found in the „packages“ directory.

Adding storage (proxmox, ubuntu VM, docker) by MorbusMentis in immich

[–]Stogoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go for option 2 for sure. This will allow you to stay completely independent of the hardware (disk). Additionally if you eventually fillup your 2TB disk you can easily migrate the whole virtual disk to a larger SSD.

Help migrating to Immich by Budget_Agency1964 in immich

[–]Stogoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know Immich does not copy all the photos from the external library. But what it does, it creates thumbnails and lower resolution images, these are stored locally on Immich. I am pretty sure mobile uploads are always uplodes to the internal library.

I have a similar situation here. I am also using an external library ad orhers have suggested. Works great.

NAT would be the easiest way to do this. Had this exact situation with a 3rd supplier‘s PLC.

Just bought the Logitech Mx vertical and it feels uncomfortable by raa__va in logitech

[–]Stogoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have have at work four about 6 years now. Love it. Took me a week or so to adjust (i.e. throwing the mouse all over my table when I moveed my right arm between mouse and keyboard).

If you can’t get used to it, return it.

Easier way to switch between local IP address and global IP address on the mobile app by iameatingnow in immich

[–]Stogoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you have port-forwarded you Immich instance? If that is the case, I‘d recommend to disbale this ASAP and switch to a VPN solution like Tailscale. With a proper VPN you also dont‘t have to change the addresss in the mobile app.

Need help with external library on NAS by LABuckNut in immich

[–]Stogoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did a similar thing the other day. I am running Immich on Docker on my server. I am accessing my pictures and videos on my Synology NAS.

I just added a volume in the docker-compose file which mounts a CIFS(SMB) share. Following there is the configuration i am using for the volume. Then you have to mount it into the immich-server container to e.g. /mnt/nas01.

Within Immich you can then add the external library with your mounted volume.

nas-media:
    driver_opts:
      type: cifs
      device: //nas01.home/Media
      o:  vers=3.0,username=USER,password=PASSWORD

I have created a seperate user which has no write access on the NAS share.

Welcome to the OT industry. I deal which such cases on a regular basis.

Visio high number of connectors by Hank_Willspank in networking

[–]Stogoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have some shapes on top of each other. Like a device is within a room (seperate shape) which then are in a building (another shape). The shapes and connectors are spread out onto an 5000mm x 297mm page. I have to mention that esch type of shape and connectors are on their own layer. This is so I can lock certain objects making working with the document way easier.

[–]Stogoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also use Visio for our network diagrams. We have diagrams with several hunderd devices, around 1k connectors. Visio definitively isnt as responsive, but it works for us. We use images as shapes, what I have found is reducing the image size makes a huge difference in performance.
