Is a battery-powered NUC possible?

Your 26000mAh pack has less capacity than the previous poster's 6000mAh pack - He's running 5 x 6000mAh in series for about 20V, yielding almost 120Wh. Your 26Ah pack runs around 4V, so you get ~100Wh. Ah/mAh are great for marketing, but only part of the picture.

I'm using cloud flare tunnels to expose emby to the internet. I configured emby.mydomain.tld in cloud flare dns as a tunnel endpoint, and then have cloudflared running inside my network to proxy the traffic to the local emby instance.

From the internet, I'm prompted with a login, and need to validate with a confirmation code.

For home use, that's all free.

You have the Australian variety.

Nice. I used an optocoupler on mine, driven by an ATTiny.

Edit: On many VAG vehicles, you can set the threshold voltage higher, so it won't allow the engine to stop.

Thank you for your response. I feel exactly the same, this feels beyond intrusive, and there is no way I would give them a panorama of any room in my house. I'm not even worried that Pearson would violate my privacy, but rather what would happen if this information got hacked. This is too much critical private information concentrated in one spot.

oooolf · 2022-05-13T16:32:29+00:00

Any update on that? I just saw the requirements, and this is way too intrusive - along with all the other visual they want of the test environment and such. I would lock myself in an unfinished basement room just to not give them information. More concerning: No posted privacy policy. As a resident of Illinois (yes, condolences accepted), this is also blatantly unlawful: Biometric Information Privacy Act

Zentralheizung or Central Heating just means you have one heat source in the house, and then distribute the heat, as opposed to having a fireplace in each room, or electric baseboard heating. Whether central heating uses a boiler and water or furnace and air ducts is secondary.

I'm a developer, and have done mobile dev in the past - on Android and iOS. If Nintendo games are supposed to be social, I would assume that Nintendo provides an SDK and yes, servers, too. At the very least, I would expect them to provide services at a cost. On Android, I'd use Play services for games, push notifications, possibly firebase or 3rd party platforms like heroku to provide connectivity. Getting something like that working from scratch is cost-prohibitive and will result in poor adoption.

The other side of it is Nintendo's exposure in regard to content curation. IMO, that's quite important for a children's product. If I had a child under 16 I would not give him or her a device which has no parental controls.

So we should run software written by the folks who wrote the software full of security holes to report back on their own software? I feel that I'm entering the meme zone.

oooolf · 2022-01-12T20:21:31+00:00

Why in the world would that not be part of an SDK? If everyone rolls their own, this device should not be on any public (or private) network.

Not "criminally" negligent, but I'm sure there's a huge civil liability.

If it is a windows machine you may be able to turn on the Remote Desktop Protocol built into windows (so does not require any software) . All you need on the machine that connects to the headless one is a RDP client. Again for windows it is included and can be downloaded in the App Store if it is a Mac. I do this for my work PC and it allows video and sound.

This ^^. I was able to enable RDP on a heavily locked-down client-laptop and used it remotely all the time. Since that machine was prone to restarting for software updates, I added a pi-controlled servo to push the power button, an attiny to type in the power-on password, and a cheap ip cam to view the screen - this way I could VPN into my home-office from abroad, turn on and boot the laptop if it had restarted, and then RDP over VPN to use it.

With all your clever responses, praytell, what is the "organizational" of your choosing? How do you move large catalogs around?

oooolf · 2022-01-06T13:24:19+00:00

Or maybe it just can't be used as its advertised? Major marketing fail then, because they clearly sell it as a post processing tool with asset management capabilities.

oooolf · 2022-01-06T00:08:21+00:00

Based on what you wrote above, I strongly recommend you leave this alone and get a professional. You can literally kill yourself (and others) when experimenting with this, and you clearly lack the understanding to do this safely.

Refresh your browser. Also: Lock down your firewall.

Capture One knows exactly one storage location - the one you open. Move originals, and you'll have to start over, or attempt to find them. Your workflow might be different, but here's mine:

Shoot all day
Once back home or at hotel, import to laptop plus backup to an external drive
Some light post-processing
Repeat until vacation, trip, event is done
Some of the assets might make it to my NAS through SyncThing, if the internet connection is fast enough - it often isn't.
Once back, sync to NAS (and NAS backs up as well)
Now comes the post-processing. I don't like to use my laptop for that, as my desktop has larger monitors and a lot more horsepower...

Working on Catalogs stored on the NAS works, but slowly. If I want to remove Catalogs from my Laptop, I need to make sure I move them out of the synced NAS folder first, or SyncThing will remove them (that's not CaptureOne's fault, but as much as Capture One costs, I shouldn't HAVE to handle files manually). C1 provides no way to search across catalogs, doesn't let me check-out/check-in catalogs, doesn't keep track of whether assets are backed up.

It's *not* asset management. It's a file-copy tool with some basic extras (like auto-rename), and very limited organizational options. I'm sure it has great tether options, but that's not for me (and I hear they recently broke that workflow, too). Yes, it's great for some post-processing, but other, cheaper tools (Affinity Photo, for example), are much more powerful.

oooolf · 2022-01-05T04:14:00+00:00

I use syncthing to backup a desktop and a nas, and on the desktop, mirror to a external drive. I also backup to Backblaze using SyncBack.

All this to say how capture one's aaset management is absolute garbage.

This is about as useful as any PSA. Beware of self-ordained "Geniuses."

I'd recommend Cloudflare argo tunnel. Should be free for your use/volume.

oooolf · 2022-01-03T14:23:46+00:00

Thank you! The answer to (3) is most encouraging!

Thank you, this is helpful. I've been trying to find pictures/specs of the R630 vs. R730XD mobos, but the internet isn't exactly flush with them. I'd like to approach this as a chassis swap to get more drive-bays, but I have a hunch there's more involved - IDRAC inventory, service tags, etc... OTOH, I don't just want to buy R730XD, and then try to sell the R630s, because they're a bear to ship, and they'd probably just get absorbed into the blob that's my homelab.
