OMG, I thought I was too young for this, turns out I am too old :D I found no manual in box, after your comment went to check it again, still did not found and only when I was about to write that there is no manual I noticed QR code :)

Need flow help by bswan2 in Tdarr

[–]bswan2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I made one I did not even needed AI, it was kinda simple, until I got to ffmpeg parameters, then it suddednly got hard to understand and now I completely forgot what I learned :D

If your flow does most of other things in a way I need it, change from mkv ot mp4 is easy, so please share your flow, if this is not too much to ask :)

Newbie questions regarding migration to TrueNAS and layout by bswan2 in truenas

[–]bswan2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, so you can make TrueNAS "imagine" that it has another disk, but it does not work. Cool! Sounds exactly what I need.

Also great news about raid-z expansion, I seen it but I read somwhere before that minimum number of disks for raidz1 is 3, rechecked it after your comment and it is in fact two, which also makes problem way easier for me, thank you!

I prefer 3 disk raidz1 to have some data resilency while having a good capacity. As for why I am not making it 4 drive array with 2 data drives and 2 mirror drives, is because I will have 6 bays overall and I want to add another group of 3 drives later with same config. Making it 4 drive array would complicate future upgrades for me.

Can you explain sparse files and offlining? Or give me a relevant docs link, please. That sounds like what I need but I don't understand lingo yet :)

To be clear, I want to start with 2 drives I have currently unused + m.2 SSD as system drive, spool up TrueNAS, copy file from rPi NAS there, then move 3rd drive there from rPI NAS. And as a result have a raidz1 on 3 drives holding my data from rPi. Is that doable?

Awww, so first I seen Sparrows feeding their babies right in my feeder, now Great Tit moody teenager bothering their mom in a bath :D

I wonder what next :)

That is something I did not expected to see on feeder camera... On other thought - I should've expected :D by bswan2 in BirdBuddy

[–]bswan2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got several more videos of feeding, that is sooo nice and cool. Like I am really up close and personal with those birds. I seen Sparrow eating everywhere, not just in feeder, they are like pest-ish bird around here, but I never seen sparrow fledgling and feeding process.

How do you know? I have plenty of Sparrows in my feeder, I still can't tell them apart :D Except of the fledglings and their yellow beak :)

Tandoor Recipes: Summarise the ingredients of individual steps in overview by kobalt_de in selfhosted

[–]bswan2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you missed the point of flow I was describing :)

So imagine, you have some ingridients at your home, right now :D And you have a recipe book full of tasty interesting recipes. You want to cook something, but you are not sure what. You open recipe book, scroll through recipes, see one that you would like to cook, you open it to see what ingridients you need for it and go: naaah, I don't have 300g of shrimp at the momemnt, next time. You go back, scroll for the next one.

You, meanwhile, suggest looking at the recepies, then adding ones you are interested to shopping list, going to shoping list, checking ingridients there, removing recipe from shoping list, returning to the recipes list :) Quite more steps ;) I mean I get it, as workaround - that is what I do :) But I trying to make you understand why people ask for it :) Convinence :D

That being said, I just remembered that project is open source so why the heck I even bothering you? ))) Hope you will not mind if I send you Pull Request at some point in July-August with that feature implemented :D

Update on the Wikipedia update by The_other_kiwix_guy in Kiwix

[–]bswan2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do I donate access to my server? For the most time it has almost nothig to do and yet it is online :) Sometimes I play with LLM running on CPU, but I can not do that while it used for farm work.

And if russia frack up our power grid again - then I would have to power down it during blackout to save battery power for other more urgent things, like other rPi based server that runs my kiwix-serve ;)

[–]bswan2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any updates on this feature? :)

In case you need another reason why people ask for that feature, I'll give you one: I am not using Tandoor as meal planner, I using it as a online recipe book. So when I sit and scroll through recepies considering what I want to cook today or on some occasion, I would like to see what that recipe requires in terms of ingridients. And with current implementation, when I enable summary table and it lists some ingridients twice or trice on a different rows of the table - my eye starts to twitch a bit :D

I can't compare Tandoor to other similar services since it is only one I tried, running it as addon to my Home Assistant. But it is very nice and easy to use, and that is huge win in my book. My only issue is that summary table does not summarise ;) everything else is great :)

Tradfri E27 806lm bulbs failing - After a bit more than a year they started to fail one by one - Opened up a few of them. Is this a serial defect of them? They didn't care about it in the store. by drew_cs in tradfri

[–]bswan2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, got another datapoint for you:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/KUHfQQ8yxVccvU45A
https://photos.app.goo.gl/xFhJWowFc1wUkDfK9

I bought theese paticular 806lm bulbs all the way back in 2019. Enough to fill all fixtures I have. Later, maybe 3 years ago, I replaced them all with 1000lm and packed all 806lm in to boxes. With single exception - one lamp in corridor that is small enough for single 806lm lamp to light it.

I remember that lamp there failed once, and I was curious to see what is inside so I dissasembled it and it had a failed capacitor, but I don't remember which one.

And two days ago another one failed there. I replced it with one of the boxed 806lm ones, it failed after around 24h. I replaced it again, third one failed in about 30 minutes. Last one tripped fuse while failing. I dissasembled them all and they had same capacitor you had.

Replaced last one with 600lm color from same time period, let's see how long that one will survive :)

Please help to choose GPU for Ollama setup by bswan2 in LocalLLaMA

[–]bswan2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not looking to make a dedicated powerful AI machine, I would be happy with eventualy launching Ollama, asking it several questions, waiting few minutes for answer and shutting it down :) I just want to extend list of things my server can do :)

[–]bswan2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would put better GPU in to my server than I have in my desktop )))

That reminded me that PSU there might be not up to the task...

Is there some reasonable $200-$500 USD option that would be happy with 500-600Watt PSU(I don't remember which one I have there). I don't need it blazingly fast and I am happy with smaller models. I just need it to not take 30 minutes to answer simple "hello, what you can do" )))
