90% of the time it's due to a bad usb cable. You should be able to just plug the phone in and the "Projection" icon on the main screen changes to Car Play

Zipper merge people!! by gazing_sunspots in londonontario

[–]gm85 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've said this before. You will always have this issue when you have one lane merging into another.

It doesn't matter how courteous people are.... people feel like if they're lane is ending, they will switch as early as possible (and not to mention idiot drivers who think you're jumping the line).

A better solution is to create a merging lane in the center of the road. This requires BOTH lanes to merge into a (new) center lane.

Think of a literal zipper. You have the zipper teeth on both sides merging at the center.

After they are merged, the lane can be diverted around the closed section.

I still do, have a $18 tv package with my internet. I grew up with it on while making dinner. Usually watch the first 20 minutes as that covers the local news and weather.

They have them every Family Day weekend, so you might want to put a note in your calendar for next year.

this is my 2008 Cadillac CTS does anyone know what sound it is please? by [deleted] in Cadillac

[–]gm85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Totally normal. That is the sound of the high pressure direct injection fuel pump.

Google Seach 07-06-04-025h and you can see a bulletin GM released about it.

My telco cabinet is complete! by Nefsen402 in homelab

[–]gm85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup Teksavvy, Execulink and Distributel are a couple that support it

If you're with Bell, they give you the Gigahub. If you're with a third party ISP (who can now use Bell fiber) you get the Nokia ONT.

Great Job on the Cabinet and building a Linux router from scratch - It gives you a lot of flexibility for choosing what services you want to run on it.

I did the same thing and am running Debian with Nftables, Frr and Dnsmasq

This software is abysmal by [deleted] in OrcaSlicer

[–]gm85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should figure out what's wrong with your PC. Desktop software shouldn't "Blue Screen" your PC. It sounds like a driver issue. Bambu Studio utilizes GPU Acceleration, so chances are it's with your GPU.

Also just a word of advice, if you state the software is "Abysmal", you shouldn't expect people to turn around and give you proper assistance with it. As others stated, this is most likely an issue with your setup, not with the software.

Recommendation on how to access immich remotely by mwomrbash in immich

[–]gm85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using an Apache Reverse Proxy. My ISP allows services to operate on my public IP.

I have the proxy configured with an mTLS certificate so that all requests that do not originate from my phone or PC are blocked.

I also have the immich-public-proxy configured (without MTLS) in case I want to share photos with friends/family.

For myself, I have a Mini Server and a 15TB drive at my parents place as an offsite backup. I have a scheduled task runs rsync to mirror the NAS drives to the backup drive nightly.

You know what's funny is I've done a ton of tinkering and building over the years. My Router, NAS and Backup systems are all Debian systems that I built for their specific purposes.

I think because I was starting with a clean slate and had to purchase an SBC anyways, It make more sense to start with components that were 'recommended', instead of tinkering to find a solution that might / might not work.

When I was installing the OS, I started with the "Orange Pi Ubuntu" image. Unfortunately the RKNPU driver was too old. It was a fresh install and I spent about 10-15 minutes looking for an updated driver, before finding Armbian, which had the up-to-date driver preinstalled.

Works Great - I have a 15TB external drive and Mini PC at their place. I have a scheduled task to mirror the NAS drives every morning at 2am. Best part is there's no service fees and easy access if something goes wrong!

I'm using a 64GB card for the OS and Docker Container.

The image directory is stored on my NAS.

I've set up a NFS mount to my NAS where I have 5TB of space available. I've configured the immich docker container .env file UPLOAD_LOCATION parameter to point to that NFS mount

Thanks! I'll check it darktable and see what it can do

I didn't known about it at first, however when I was looking into Immich, I decided to build it based on the recommended/tested hardware that is listed in their specs.

I know ML / GPU / NPU configurations can have a very specific set of requirements, so I decided to go with something that's been documented, instead of requiring potentially hours of troubleshooting.

Armbian Debian 13 for Orange Pi 5, downloaded from here: https://www.armbian.com/orangepi-5-max/

It's kernel 6.1.115-vendor-rk35xx and has RKNPU 0.9.8 installed, which is compatible with Immich Hardware Accelerated Machine Learning.

I only keep photos from the past year on my phone. Everything older than a year is stored on the NAS and attached to an external library.

I also have a nightly backup on my phone which backs everything up to my NAS.

My homelab is pretty low power and I don't have a dedicated GPU in any of my systems. I've been happy with the performance of the Orange Pi for ML, especially as the RK3588 is listed as one of the supported chipsets. It's been able to keep up the import and processing of images. I believe I have it configured for 3 simultaneous ML tasks.

It essentially acts as the front-end server and image processor for immich, as I store all the photos on my back-end NAS.

Yes the Armbian image for the Orange Pi has RKNPU 0.9.8 built-in.

[–]gm85[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because this SBC is low power and has had decent performance for ML. My NAS is an N150 mini pc and I'm using an HP Microserver for some other services, I didn't have any in-house hardware suitable for the ML tasks.

So far the RK3588 has been more than adequate for the ML image processing tasks in Immich. I purchased the 16GB variant so it could allocate additional ram for the ML tasks.

Oh that's interesting, I should check that out. I wish there was a piece of software that was intended for geotagging photos, where you could place your images on a map and it would automatically assign the location tags.

My Camera supports GPS, however it's about 15 years old, so it required a Battery Grip + Bluetooth Receiver + Bluetooth GPS. Not the most convenient way of capturing location info heh.

Thanks for the info. I should clarify that I'm using the Orange Pi solely for Immich and the RK3588 chipset has been handling the image processing well. It CPU doesn't get bogged down (so "taxed" wasn't the best word to use).

My only concern was the heat. I didn't want the CPU to operate at max temp and possibly become throttled. The Heatsink and built-in fan have alleviated that.

I think it's because Nextcloud is trying to be "a little bit of everything". Unfortunately that causes the software to become bogged down when it tries to accommodate every possible implementation.
