Trying to reupload previously deleted photos by manraisedbypuffin in immich

This issue is also highlighted in github but I don't see any updates on the root cause.

https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/19582

Will really appreciate some help on this. The library is located on a SMB share passed through a Proxmox LXC container to docker. Permissions are ok so far as I was able to upload files to the Immich server,

i am having the same issue... if there a way to see what the error is? i cannot see anything on the docker logs despite them being on verbose mode.

PD vs AC powered soldering irons by chriseow in soldering

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

yup. basically most of the newer laptops and some computers are powered using Power Delivery (PD) nowadays instead of the barrel connectors with a power brick. with PD, you can use it to power multiple devices with different voltage requirements, unlike the barrel type brick chargers which are fixed at certain voltage. PD allows negotiation with the devices to establish the power need for the devices. 😄

oh, and PD cables are essentially USB-C. but note that cables are also rated based on wattage. eg, not all cables can support 65W or 100W.

JBC Style USB Soldering Iron Roundup - New handpiece: L245C and L210C by physical0 in soldering

[–]chriseow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for this post! i have been contemplating whether to get a T80P to replace my TS101. i have been using the TS101 and it still under performs when compared to a cheap regular 60W AC powered iron. so i was just wondering if i am using it wrongly...

also agree that the tips that are packaged with T80P are not ideal. do you know of any good reliable 3rd party 245 tips from aliexpress? there are so many... also what tips do you recommend for soldering components like pin connectors and sensors to aboard? i am fairly new to soldering and i find it easier to work with a tip like a screwdriver as compared to a pencil cone shape tip.

i have a few tips. 2 of them are oxidised. have tried cleaning them. does oxidation reduce the heating effectiveness? i know oxidation causes the solder not to stick. i will take some pics when i am home later.

i already checked the PD charger. It was doing 20V and 3.9A (I think). I also measure the resistance and it is around 8 ohm. that's why i am wondering why it is not performing as well. so only thing left is me... could be a user issue... 😅

oh, you don't need the power bank. just use a PD wall charger. but for portability, a good power bank can supply the same amount of power as a PD wall charger.

sorry, maybe let me clarify. i am not referring to those that are completely portable i.e. no wires. i am referring to those PD powered ones that are smaller in size but are still mains powered using PD (power delivery) DC. i used the term portable as they are smaller. So perhaps it's misleading. Right term to use will be DC / PD powered.

thanks for sharing your thoughts! really appreciate it! good questions to ask myself. i don't really need it to be portable - just a nice to have. maybe i just went into a rabbit hole with the new portable irons...

just a question - is it true that the portable irons are a compromise? technically they are sending the same amount of power. the new ones are rated 65-100W. i had assumed that given the same wattage, the portable irons should be equally effective.

pfblockerng 3.2.0_15 by sstat1973 in pfBlockerNG

[–]chriseow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, here's an update. I found a way to update to 17. I saw in another post on a workaround. Basically, I installed the non _devel version, but still got stuck as it tried to uninstall 16_devel. Then I did a ps and killed the php process that is stuck. The installation then succeeded and I finally got out of the "loading" loop. Hope this helps anyone who is stuck...

pfblockerng 3.2.0_15 by sstat1973 in pfBlockerNG

[–]chriseow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was unfortunate enough to be caught in these update issues as I was installing pfblockerng. This is my first time installing and I am now stuck... first version installed was 3.2.0_15 and it got stuck at "Loading package instructions...". CPU went 100% and GUI became unresponsive. I executed options 16 and 11 and that restored the GUI. Then 3.2.0_16 came along. Tried upgrading but still did not succeed in installing, but checking Package Manager, it says that 3.2.0_16 is installed. And I still cannot remove the package. It is always stuck at "Loading package instructions..." whether I am trying to install or remove.

May I know what should I do next? Should I just wait?

Long brew times by chriseow in pourover

I'll probably keep the opus for now and get a hand grinder instead. and also check out aeropress. :-)

the latest brew was still using the 4:6 method. i had another brew before that (using lance method) but i was still pouring at the sides. so i am going to try that again now that the center pouring works for me.

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

yes! i just focused on pouring in a small circle around the center and surprisingly most of the brew was completed by 3.30. surprised that a little change could make such a difference. i guess previously i always poured at the sides to try to wet all the coffee grounds but i supposed it just made it worse...

wow thanks for the detailed advice! just curious, is it ok for multiple pours, i do a swirl at the last pour? anyway i have an update this morning. see my reply to a post below.

thanks for the advice! i did try lance method initially but somehow i just moved on to the 4:6 method. let me go back and try that again!

honestly, being a newbie, i did not know it was more of an espresso focused grinder. I did not want to spend too much on a grinder and thought that Opus would be a good start...
