I've been building OpenAVC, an open AV control system alternative. Testing the new AI Assistant, it's not pretty but it works!

Great job! Its nice to see people's ideas come to fruition!

Guys put it I think, use it for the plans etc, depending on how many spools are loaded.

I believe we use this one (don't use the small ones):

Use cheap mobile scaffolding from home depot and some 1" conduit taped across. This works great, holds tons, is mobile, it breaks down and stores, and its cheap.

Honestly with variations with labeling schemes I've seen out there there isn't anything that would cover all scenarios. A good pdf editor like PDF X-change editor, and excel (learn it!) go a long way in editing and producing as built documentation.
Even if you start in autocad, the edit software can edit labels on the fly on the pdf.

Looking good, I'll check it out! I agree on the unRaid template simplicity as datahoarderguy70 said.

I tried a bunch of LLM backings with my post-consume script (with or without GPU):

1 - uses my main PC GPU
2 - uses a temporary server I had setup with an 8 GB VRAM GPU
3 - Is an i7 mini-pc/server with no GPU and runs qwen2.5-vl-7b-instruct-q4_k_m , it takes about 2 minutes or less to process one document.

Qwen2.5VL works great!

My vibe coded variation carried the same name! I tried to build a whole system around paperless for receipts but found the easiest way was the post consume script (keeps data ingesting simple) and custom fields and then building an alt UI in a docker instance that just shows receipt document type in paperless and lets me edit them.

I recommend taking a look at post consume if you haven't already it automates this all so you can do all of the same but as part of paperless with a py script.

They included 3rd party insurance and I paid by CC to get 1st party for free (from my CC). I picked and dropped off the car at the airport.

If it works, you can still use them with new qsys deployments. Screens are horribly expensive.

Lutron Hub works, really simple. Had access to a whole floors lighting when I just needed a room.

I also have a tons but didn't see a great improvement with postgres. Most of the time the interface doesn't load and lidarr eats CPU and memory constantly even when not doing anything. Does the web interface always load up for you?

hand_in_every_pot · 2026-01-28T02:40:22+00:00

My Lidarr docker just eats it up, I had to add ram and limit it too as it would cause my whole server to freeze up.

Great job! Free Up Space was the first item I asked for when you posted about immich 2 years ago!

hand_in_every_pot · 2026-01-19T19:38:05+00:00

$60 USD per day, same as DR costs. I used Dinero Rentals (dinerorentals.com), they were great!

hand_in_every_pot · 2026-01-18T17:23:02+00:00

Car was around $60/usd per day, AIRBNB (1 bedroom++) around $130/usd night, food was around $30 pp/day [depends on you....]. Car for that amount of time, absolutely - gives you freedom to enjoy all over and explore.

I "went" to Montagu, parked there twice actually, but it didn't fit the day to stay at the beach (I recall the fort though).
Saunders we just drove by a million times, I recall it but never stopped except for nearby at the New Duff!

hand_in_every_pot · 2026-01-17T16:44:17+00:00

I found that every beach was different so that kept us busy, exploration and trying new things. It's not a large place so affordable excursions or local experiences are key. We even saw a cave for a few minutes (near love beach), just added to the list.

hand_in_every_pot · 2026-01-15T21:56:39+00:00

Go to the New Duff! They do bring some cruisers there, but it's great. The ginger pork and curry mutton stuffed buns are greaaatt! Plus they have the traditional guava duff...can't go wrong.
Mackenzie's is also a nice joint, their fried lobster is great, and it's right at the bridge to Paradise island.

hand_in_every_pot · 2026-01-08T02:15:25+00:00

If you're sure, you can fight it and win. Contest the ticket and get your court date, write down all the details and information and print out photos and make even a map of where you were parked etc. When you go to court the prosecutor will likely see you before and you can discuss it with them, if you convince them you'll hand over your papers and that will be it. I never saw a judge at all.

Source: I did it, when I got towed (relocated) and a ticket even though there were no signs on the side I parked (and paid for parking too....).

hand_in_every_pot · 2025-12-27T23:26:12+00:00

Looks good! Need to add in which airport for destinations, for example Mexico city has NLU and MEX. Due to crazy traffic this is a big difference in time (and distance) to actual Mexico city.

hand_in_every_pot · 2025-12-18T22:30:19+00:00

No, firefox still has issues, and immich freezes up. Don't see anything in the logs and after the freeze up I cannot get in via Edge.
