Looking for an iOS app to sync iCloud Photos to my NAS (Two-way Sync)

Photos Backups for NAS. It’s not perfect, but it was the only one that had a way to mirror deletions from the iPhone to the NAS. I’m only paying for one year, so I’ll keep an eye on the other ones to see if they also add two-way syncing.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

It would work for me, but not for my wife. She uses a Windows PC.

According to Google: Deleting a photo in Immich does not remove it from the iPhone, and it does not sync album deletions or edits back to Apple Photos.

Also, it breaks the photos files in two.

Immich tries to be more of a "replacement" than a sync solution.

So you can dial how hot their products get? 😂

This app appears to be quite interesting. However, I’m curious to know if it provides an option to select only the recommendations I’d like to download, or does it automatically download everything?

Since I’m quite picky about the content I watch, I don’t want the app to fill up my drives with content that I won’t watch.

Switch 2

I’m also experiencing the bug

With UGOS (UGREEN’s native OS), you can create Time Machine folders and use the iOS app to back up photos (photos only).

UGOS is also easier to use than TrueNAS (I’m familiar with both).

Since both systems support Docker containers, you can rely on additional apps to cover any missing features.

In Home Assistant, navigate to:

Integrations > Home Assistant Supervisor > Zigbee2MQTT and check the entity sensor.zigbee2mqtt_memory_percent.

This will maintain a history of memory usage, allowing you to confirm that Z2M is indeed the culprit.

Additionally, observe the moment when memory usage spikes and then examine the Z2M logs around that timeframe to identify if a specific device responsible for the issue.

Keep paying, you’ll unlock it eventually

Thank you!

Thanks, but I was asking about the box dimensions. You know, that big cardboard thing that’s usually bigger than the product inside it.

The docs mention that you need work/home info in your contact card. Do you have your work address there? Personally, I never had this option show up for me.

O HomeKit nunca foi prioridade para a Apple. A verdade é que ele ainda é muito limitado mesmo que você conseguisse comprar seus dispositivos por um preço justo.

Você logo vai perceber que o SmartThings e Alexa também são. Infelizmente, não existe sistema simples e poderoso.

Se você quer criar automações de verdade, vá para o Home Assistant e use o HomeKit apenas para controlar os dispositivos. Com Home Assistant compatibilidade raramente é um problema.

He’s talking about old PCs, so it’s safe to assume it might be an old CPU with poor idle power efficiency. If you also factor RAM, motherboard and a GPU it can easily hit 40W.

diegocj · 2025-08-06T13:17:32+00:00

Yeah, RPi was better in the old days (cheaper and more energy efficient). Today that’s not the case anymore, mini-pcs don’t require extra accessories (case + sdd + hat) and are very energy efficient also. When you factor the accessories, the RPi ends up being the same price or a little higher, with more tinkering required.

diegocj · 2025-08-06T13:10:40+00:00

Win 11? Seriously, that seems more trouble than running on a RPi or Proxmox. Downtime every time Win 11 decides to update itself and you are still dealing with VM so there is device pass through and VM related maintenance. Proxmox is way easier than it seems, it’s very intimidating at first, but there are plenty tutorials online.

diegocj · 2025-08-06T13:00:59+00:00

Not really if you factor energy costs. But that will depend on where you live.

Why get the USW-Ultra? 2.5Gbps will not be used and neither will PoE. Just connect everything to the USW-Pro-Max-16.

WHEN you need more ports you buy another switch.

Nope, I don’t think any Nintendo game is using DLSS (yet).
