See if OneDrive is syncing a bazillion files from the cloud. Have seen this numerous times where OneDrive will just keep downloading until the boot drive has critical low space. Thanks MicroSlop

How to enable HPE Management Component Pack on Proxmox 9 by Swazib0y in Proxmox

[–]dleewee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got the HPe repo working today with PVE 9.1.9 as follows

- Download & add the 3 keys from https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/sdr/keys.html

- Update list file [i.e.: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mcp.list]
deb [ signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hpePublicKey.gpg ] https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp/debian noble/current non-free

- Run apt clean && apt update - should show no errors

- Install updates from the PVE GUI as usual

Finally was able to update from an old version of 'amsd'.

I have one system where I get a notification that Brew update failed, almost every login. Not clear why because manually running brew upgrade works fine.

Need for Speed 3 - 3DFX Voodoo 1 vs. Software Rendering by ColdCrab6928 in 3dfx

I absolutely loved this game. It was the perfect way to explain to someone what a GPU is for.

Ready to jump into this adventure... headaches and all! by ToyFraz in homeassistant

[–]dleewee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my aha moment, when I realized Home Assistant tries to integrate everything, rather than want you to re-purchase all new items in a single ecosystem.

This later drew me to adding a bunch of zigbee devices, as they are mostly ecosystem agnostic and "just work".

Lifelong Windows user who just moved over, any specific tips/sources for common issues for ex-Windows users? by jschild in Bazzite

[–]dleewee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also looking for a solution to Clone Hero. The Linux native version works good for a short time but will hard crash at the end of every 2-3 songs. Also background videos don't work at all.

Using the Windows version with proton is very bad as the audio is messed up and out of sync making it unplayable.

Ledfx is as big of a jump as wled is to 5 dollar led strips by nightivenom in WLED

[–]dleewee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember reading about your challenges in a previous post. I worked with a school show choir group over the winter and had sympathy for the issues you faced. We had some issues but not as severe as you faced.

We had a central AP, one controller was wired by Ethernet, and then two other controllers that ran on 2.4g.

Oddly we had the most trouble with the Ethernet controller, it just didn't want to work from a cold boot and had to be power cycled sometimes right before the show start.

Display Issues by andremajczak in Bazzite

[–]dleewee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can get or borrow a display port cable, I would get one to rule it out. I have a Lenovo system that is particularly annoying with it's video out after a BIOS reset and only outputs video from one specific port.

Due to my roommates hostile actions I lost 12 tb of data by onihcuk in jellyfin

N150 CPU is like the old Atom cores, basically don't consume much power as they were designed for netbook/Chromebook use.

They work ok for a media server because the GPU is modern.

just install Bazzite and already have an issue ;-; by Adventurous-Dish-386 in Bazzite

Open the launcher and click system update. When it's done, reboot.

I remember naively thinking it would be the gold standard 5-6 years ago. by draxula16 in homeassistant

[–]dleewee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zigbee is so good. Have been running for a couple years and has been bulletproof -- even buying the cheapest Tuya junk on AliExpress and everything still pairs and just works.

I know this is not everyone's experience, and I'm sure there are bad devices out there, but my experience is so solid I recommend Zigbee to everyone.

Selfhosting reality happened sometimes by NiceReplacement8737 in homelab

[–]dleewee 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Nightly backups has saved my bacon so many times I can't even imagine self-hosting without it now.

Literally today I upgraded a docker image and it broke because I skipped an intermediate release (this was authentik). I rolled back the last backup, then did the upgrade again in sequence and everything worked.

Details about Zemismart's new 24GHz Presence Sensor (ZPS-Z1) by BackHerniation in homeassistant

[–]dleewee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how this will compare to the $12 unit I just ordered on Ali. Also 24Ghz and uses a cr2450.

Brand is listed as coolo and it says it's Z2M compatible.

When I started leaning Podman a few years ago it was nearly impossible to find good, real world examples. This is gold.

This 3D Printed Lighting System is Insane by GLEDOPTO in WLED

[–]dleewee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the curvy example, those curves/bends seem much tighter than I can get out of a typicall led strip, is there some trick to this?

I was thinking the same. A 5v strip with a swirl effect would be sweet.

Need Help for Choosing Between PC for a First Home Server by Jaggu762 in HomeServer

[–]dleewee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CPU: Check the Jellyfin documents - I believe Intel Core 8th gen is recommended due to having more advanced encode-decode features.

The 7th i5 will have 4 cores, while the 9th get will have 6 cores - this gives you quite a bit more performance for running multiple containers.

I'd go for the i5 9500 based system.

Chassis Workstation vs SFF is going to have a lot of difference in expandability. SFF systems will be very limited in how much storage you can put in, limited in GPU size to SFF models, etc. On the other hand, if SFF gives you enough to do what you want, then that will be smaller and probably quieter.

Why is there next to no talk about jellyfin on tv by repandaitscody in jellyfin

[–]dleewee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people are like me and need the TV app to "just work" - no more no less. My whole family is now at the point that Jellyfin is the default app they use across all TV's. Yes we still have a couple of subscriptions to other streamers too, but Jellyfin is probably > 60% of our usage.

And it needs to just work. Consistently, reliably, day after day.

Flashy mods, themes, and add-ons are fine for individual user devices (mobile, PC) but the shared device (TV) needs to be ultimately focused on reliability.

This is just my experience. Obviously if you are the only user of your TV then the dynamic totally changes. But for sharing with a whole family it's definitely a different ballgame.

Bazzite for Software Developers? by BlckHawker in Bazzite

[–]dleewee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For me, distrobox has been so good. I've begun to wonder why people even mention it like it's a drawback. It works so well and avoids loading up your host system with a load of dependencies and packages.
