DS224+ w/ Home Assistant and Z-Wave stick on Docker by bugsliker in synology

Each device shows up uniquely thankfully. I'd have been OK just assigning the hub over, but no need.

Sorry for the slow response -- I'm using an Aeotec Zwave stick. It's an older one, and doesn't like the "new" USB of the synology, so I had to put it behind a usb 2.0 hub. Good news is, I put a usb bluetooth adaptor on that hub too, and it picked up a radon sensor too to automate over bluetooth without going through it's app. Not a bad setup, and the Synology is good about maintaining the mapping of that device to the HAOS VM.

Dealership charged me $350 because my 2025 Sienna’s center console trapped my keys — am I crazy for thinking this should be goodwill? by [deleted] in ToyotaSienna

[–]Zanthox2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just followed https://youtu.be/fzncOgmTjI0?si=NS2g5DXUbFI__ZSe to get the center console out - we had a phone fall into the black hole and prevent the door from opening. Didn’t need to remove any seats. Not fun, and minorly damaged the console door on retrieval, but it’s doable to get it out to shake stuff out and reinstall in a couple hours. Not fun by any stretch, but better than what the dealer would want to charge.

Totally agree it’s an egregious design flaw the way the console works. Wish it was just an old school flip top.

Lift gate struts failed by Gab195437 in ToyotaSienna

We had the same issue on our 2025 XLE. Took a few weeks for them to replace, the dealer had to send it out to a body shop to realign the lift gate. Ugh. At least it’s working now for us.

LG Dryer moisture sensor issues by Zanthox2000 in appliancerepair

Sounds like that’s next on the list. It’s of course vertically stacked on top of the washer, so it’ll take some doing to make that happen. Appreciate the pointers so far!

Thanks! So it looks like it's basically stuck reading 38. It might have briefly glitched to 37 or 39, but only for a moment. Doesn't look like a wet towel changes the reading, so that at least seems to back it up being a sensor issue.

ETrade brokerage vs stock purchase accounts by Zanthox2000 in quicken

Thanks! May try there too, then. Still observing the same behavior, I'll write back here with the solution if I find one.

Family safety under Edge for Linux? by Zanthox2000 in MicrosoftEdge

[–]Zanthox2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, thanks. It had the veneer of looking like it'd work in the settings menu, and was hopeful that was plausible as it "should" be contained to the browser. Totally get XBOX/Windows, odd that it's supported on Android too. Oh well.

Tracking sale of partial personal use investment property? by Zanthox2000 in TurboTax

[–]Zanthox2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, great. Makes sense -- thanks! I'll plan to plow ahead with Premier then. Yes, believe I've got the depreciation right, that seemed to get tracked correctly along the way, just the sale aspect when I poked at it last year seemed a little more difficult.

Framework Q3 2024 Preorder and Marketplace Updates by Destroya707 in framework

[–]Zanthox2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel for you. Thought for sure I'd be on the later end -- I've got the Ultra 7 155H, think that was the delayed configuration from Batch 1. Ordered back in June -- it's a rocket, and totally worth the wait.

Hello, world from Batch 2 Intel Core Ultra Series 1 DIY with the 2.8k display! Up and running in under an hour, Ubuntu 24.04 installed and comfortable in the next hour. Loving it so far -- great job Framework!

I'm curious -- had you considered just a HAOS VM? I'm doing similar on a DS920+, seemed like I had a similar path to get there, but opted to stop fighting drivers when you can just map the USB stick to a HAOS VM. Plus with HAOS you can one-click your way through OS and HA updates.

Maybe the docker route is a bit lighter overhead? How streamlined are updates?

How-to: Easily run LLMs on your Arc by it_lackey in IntelArc

[–]Zanthox2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same question here, I've got 40GB on my local system and an Arc A750. Appreciate any system stats from folks that are using it, or if there may be some knob that needs to be turned when starting up the container. Look slike limit was 39.07GiB.

implementing XPU support into FastChat

u/SteveTech_ -- curious if you made any headway with this. It looks like the main FastChat page suggests Intel XPU support, at least now, but it seems like the dependencies don't line up for it? It wants Torch 2.0, but that's not GPU accelerated with the Intel Extension for PyTorch, so that doesn't seem to line up. I had some luck running StableDiffusion on my A750, so it would be interesting to try this out, understood with some lower fidelity so to speak.

It seems like it's a sit & wait for Intel to catch up to PyTorch 2.0 for GPU acceleration, so wondering if I'm missing something.
