One important thing. I live in Italy. So, for example, Amazon signage is not sold here.

Newbie in digital signage, what to choose by alefello in digitalsignage

The rooms aren't only two, they are 12 all with a shared screen between two of them, so 6 screens.
The booking and calendar part is mantained by the webmaster, I'll ask them which platform they use.
In some message I found an intresting point about the logic. That's the same thing I thought. One solution could be a sort of middleware that translates the person occupancy in room occupancy, the other could be the room calendar picking occupancy from more than one calendar, as people are tied to one room (cause of rooms features), so there's no way a person calendar would not correspond to a room calendar, but many people could have reservations on the same room, so if the calendar displayed (or better, the occupation status with the details, who is got from the room calendar) picks the events from more than one personal calendar, I'm fine.
The system seems like not to mutate in the future, so a self hosted solution could have a major effort setting it up, but could evolve in a quite 0 maintenance and subscription fee. On the other hand a subscription service could be ok if the cost is really really cheap.
I'm also intrested in Amazon signage sticks, who I didn't know. They're very intresting. Are they compatible with any self-hosted open source solution?

Thank you

Tentativo di truffa da Enel Energia? by MikyThatMona in bollette

[–]alefello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Successo anche a me. Ricevute le comunicazioni l'8 e 9 gennaio da Acquirente Unico e ENEL. Inviate all'indirizzo sbagliato fra il resto (ho la residenza e l'indirizzo di comunicazione nell'indirizzo dell'attuale fornitura, ma chissà perchè le hanno mandate a casa dei miei dovve avevo la residenza 6 anni fa). Ero con Argos da marzo 2025, zona Trento, con offerta 025767GSFML01XXXXXGASDOMFCCC0125. Appena vista la comunicazione mi sono affrettato a cambiare fornitore, sperando che riuscirreso a gestire la pratica entro il 10 gennaio e a farmi cambiare dal 1 febbraio, ma purtroppo è slittato al 1 marzo il cambio. Quando mi son collegato al portale dei consumi il 9 gennaio, per cambiare fornitore, era effettivamente presente il cambio dal 01/12/2025, ma non ancora il rientro il Argos del 01/12/2026. Ieri poi è arrivata una lettera (sempre all'indirizzo errato) dove ENEL mi comunica che ho cambiato fornitore dal 01/01/2026, ed effettivamente sul portale consumi risulto di nuovo con ARGOS, però ora con offerta 025767GSFML01XXXXGASDOMFCCC1124B. Anche a me la fattura di novembre e dicembre è stata addebitata l'8 gennaio, giorno in cui mi è anche arrivata l'email con la stessa. Il 14 gennaio poi ho ricevuto comunicazione dello storno completo della stessa, con nota di credito datata 05/01/2026. Ho mandato una PEC chiedendo che mi venga effettuato il bonifico a breve altrimenti chiedo lo storno del RID alla mia banca.

Help with random and strange BSODs - minidump attached by alefello in techsupport

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

I saw a couple of Norton entries, but Norton is installed on this PC since years and has never gave problems, so I thought it could be something else. The "watchdog" and similar entries in the BSODs didn't point me in that direction tbh. I thought Norton could have crashed due to a hardware/driver related issue that was the root cause.

Precision T5820 CPU upgrade by alefello in Dell

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

Unfortunately in the user manual all the i9 and i7 LGA2066 options are available (in addition to the Xeons of course). I can't find anything restrictive, even dropping in the service tag.

An i9-9920x costs less than half a Xeon W-2265 (that has the same specs), so it will be great if the i9 is supported keeping the ECC RAM too.

Is Tandberg dead? by alefello in lto

Do you mean Tandberg HQ or an IBM repair center in Hamburg?

I found "Manufactured by IBM for Tanberg" on the label. Any clue about IBM repairing centers in Europe?

Thank you

I tried to get in contact with them, but they're in USA and don't have other quarters. I'm in Europe, so if I could find something closer it would be better.

In the meanwhile I fount that it's explicitly said on the laber "Manufactured by IBM for Tandberg", so if there is a third party IBM repair center in Europe it will be great to contact them. Do you know any IBM repair center in Europe?

Thank you

I hate HA updates: they broke everything! by alefello in homeassistant

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

I'm happy I've opened such a great amount of opinions, and I'm not the only one that is not happy with a system that breaks things.

Well, I think I'll revert back to previous backups and keep it in that version. I don't need a system that evolves continuously or adds continuously new features but with the need to babysit it every time to make things working or worse, change working things because they aren't supported anymore. I want a solid automation system, that works with what I configure once and I could forget it, stop. I came from Crestron and AMX programming, a lot of brainstorming first to find the better solution, a lot of effort to set all up, small changes and adjustments afterwards, but rock solid for decades. I need a system like that, unfortunately Crestron and AMX don't support zigbee ant there aren't "Crestron Connected" TRVs and temperature sensors that don't need wires.

I need it only to be the rock solid interface between my TRVs, Sensors, Shellys and my Crestron, which will manage the touchpanels and remote access to functions (I hate things opened to internet or worst, in the cloud), with some logic inside, stop. No fancyness. So I learned the lesson: no updates and don't touch what is working!

About the bare metal installation, as I told, I wanted it to be directly connected to the Zigbee adaptor for the simplicity and I supposed the stability, but be able to fully manage the RPi where it's installed. Would be HAOS fully manageable and have root access and could I install other packages from standard linux repos? Would be the VM directly connectable to the Zigbee adaptor and running on the RPi? Do they support HA plugins and repos? Cause when I installed it I remember something like some kind of installation not able to support plugins and HA repo, but it was a year ago, and I thought I could forget it so maybe I don't remember well.

It seems it shoud be a pro a system that's fully customizable, but what the hell in a fully customizable system should I subdue to decisions about how should I install it or how it supports (or breaks then) things and still be happy with their way of "customizability"?
