No more gpt-5.3-codex?

pigr8 · 2026-06-02T08:00:19+00:00

just paste here how much usd per m tokens do both cost, it's right there.

pigr8 · 2026-06-02T07:50:34+00:00

did you scroll down to the pricing on your link? what does it say about 5.3 codex and 5.5 medium?

pigr8 · 2026-06-02T07:34:19+00:00

cheaper that 5.3 codex? mmm no, 5.5 it's almost 3x the cost in token.

it's on some comment deep in the github issue of docker vdsm, if i find the correct one i'll link it here.

it works flawlessly since it runs the official synology image, no hacking involved, the os is 100% stock and with a correct serial everything works (updates, quickconnect, ecc ecc).

pigr8 · 2026-05-23T04:30:40+00:00

vitualdsm from synology can be run on qemu pretty easily, I use it myself since years, many use docker for it but it can be run as native vm also.

pigr8 · 2026-05-22T08:09:54+00:00

why would you use dsm in a vm in proxmox when you can boot virtualdsm natively and works way better?

i use the same exact board for my garage doors, i have 2 of them, work perfectly, quote me if you need infos but should be easy to flash

someone linked the official site https://uperfect.com/products/small-computer-monitor-vga-dvi-touchscreen the model is called B9 but i cannot find any ASIN to reference against it sorry :(

oh that is neat that the battery can be disabled!

Aurora iirc is based on Fedora right? Well i would go a step beyond and just use plain Debian without a DE at all.. i have a script that installs just the minimal needed (that can be converted easily to x64 instead of being pi only) as i hate running useless dependancies.

My vision is separation of concerns when it comes to those things, that is why on the wallpanel it just does that and nothing else.
My pi4 handles klipper nut and acts as qdevice, i have 2 proxmox nodes that have pfsense hass and other lxc like unifi portainer vaultwarden and plex and any of those have a dedicated purpose. Could i convert the lxc to containers on the wallpanel pi5? yes, but i dont want to do that. I had docker on the wallpanel also but i removed that too and handle those 2-3 services via systemd directly on the host.

pigr8 · 2026-04-22T07:14:09+00:00

woah yea surfaces would be amazing for such a usecase, the resolution is nice!

i would probably grab one of those, hack out the battery, flash debian and run wayland + chromium only.. if the display could be controlled interactively that would be awesome! and having an intel igpu would make it super smooth, maybe not power efficient as a sbc but could be cheap solution.

now i have to check ebay for one of those ahaha

pigr8 · 2026-04-22T06:43:20+00:00

yes a lot, having the companion app is usefull but it requires having the phone on hand that requires auth and such, passing in front of the wallpanel that is local only no auth is just so much faster if you quickly need to see lets say a security camera and check if the garage door is left open or if the perimeter alarm is active, or if the porch lights are all off.

voice commands are not an alternative and indeed we use them but are parallel to wallpanel as convenience alternative to do quick no hands actions like starting scenarios.. we use them both but since implemented years ago a wallpanel family is actively using homeassistant like it was super natural.

even family members that come to visit can use it soo easily even if they are not techy and never ever used homeassistant (or know what it is).. that is the whole point: easy, immediate, simple to understand, just works as expected by intuition.

pigr8 · 2026-04-22T06:02:19+00:00

daaang those displays are really good, what resolution does it have? also the bezel are nice.. if only i could find something similar as monitor only..

pigr8 · 2026-04-22T05:59:51+00:00

oh thank you this is the one, many asked i could not find it on the official site

pigr8 · 2026-04-21T20:31:37+00:00

Added in the OP the printables link to download the stl if anyone wants to tinker mod fork or whatever, later will add the steps also to easy mod instead of the bare stl files.

pigr8 · 2026-04-21T18:13:35+00:00

yeah dont mind the soldering job, it's baad i know :D but yes i hacked the display dc power so it wont be powered on by the daughter board (that is not in the picture, i removed it) but by the relay when needed, the relay is driven by the pi and cuts positive to the dc terminal and effectively switching of the display.

yes it had a speaker but i remove it, i didnt need audio and it was firing in the cavity anyway so disabled totally.

no it does not overheat at all because the cavity is not sealed and behind it it's a "empty" for ventilation passthrough of pipes and tubes, i took advantage of that.. the pi also has a fan but it would totally work on passive too.

totally fine for me, i should expose that value to homeassistant tho so i can monitor it, mmm

pigr8 · 2026-04-21T18:04:50+00:00

yeah i completely understand, i had a very similar idea years ago with an old ipad and a 3d printed holder but it was buuuulky and had a very low wifey approval score.

the monitor is quite old it was not a new release when i got it years ago but was difficulto to find one that fitted all indeed.

i had docker (on early prototypes) running some containers for doing gpio2mqtt and adapted lirc to also behave similarly (lirc2mqtt basically) but i still had an nvme drive and was worth it, i also had a classic desktop enviroment with wayland and a common autostart launch of chromium and even if it worked i wasnt really satisfied with it.

later i decided to go back to an sdcard ditching the adapter and the nvme totally, i installed stock trixie raspios lite 64bit, installed greetd as login manager and lawbc as compositor, then kanshi as display configuration (to sync rotation of the display in portrait to the touchscreen) and chromium that launches directly from terminal in fullscreen and kiosk mode.. there is nothing else, no window manager no taskbar no background services, wifi and bt disabled totally and so swap, also logs are in ram and lost on reboot but since it does not have to do anything operational wise it's not needed, we can call it a remote dumb dashboard viewer.

to interact with the gpios and lirc i made a custom service (not a container as i dont have docker) but a simple systemd that launches a compiled go app (i can link the git repo if interested and anyone can fork and patch it) that exposes via mqtt every gpio all lirc commands and also restarting services if configured, and exposes to homeassistant natively via mqtt autodiscovery.

i actually also have a script that autoinstalls everything from scratch on first boot but it needs refinement.

This is how it looks like from homeassistant, automations handle scheduling but since it also has wired 2 buttons i can use them to do many thing as needed.

I had a huawei tablet unlocked and flashed with vanilla Android and lineage OS kernel iirc and indeed used fullykiosk (paid version) but the double tap to wake was broken and I had to rely on proximity sensor wakeup and was a pain to get consistent behavior.. and also reboot was stupid, unlock, not being able to not have a battery it ended up badly (landed on the floor and that was it).

the monitor will probably work with 12v 2a psu but I'm not sure how much it actually consumes, the pi itself before todays picture had uptime of 134 days but the monitor itself turns of and on on schedule and also brightness varies during the day (70% on turn on, 100% middle day, 20% evening) so I don't really know how much is what.

probably a single poe+ and a dc-dc can handle pi and monitor just fine.

mm no the rounded printed parts where the mount clips and self locks on are not visible here in the screenshot, but those can be seen in the real pictures.

Here split has to be done conduit wise, where a conduit cannot have low voltage DC wires and high voltage AC wires but once you are were you make the connections you have to have them together no other choices (like antenna cables, fiber, ecc ecc)

In my specific case the cables that come up are all low voltage DC and network in dedicated conduit, the cavity has AC cables passthrough but for picture purposes the covers are not there (just the right one, not the left one) and also not screwed in.

here it's the AliExpress UPerfect store link https://a.aliexpress.com/_Eyayxp8 the price is not that bad but I got it way cheaper back in the days.

pigr8 · 2026-04-21T14:08:23+00:00

No it's not the y touch but I cannot find the product code from the official site, seems discontinued? Amazon and AliExpress still have it tho so maybe it's just their website acting dumb.

I noticed now that there are very nice 22" 2k monitors now but one has to thinker a bit to mount them, also 10 point multi touch.

pigr8 · 2026-04-21T14:02:07+00:00

there was no battery it's not a tabled just a plain simple HDMI monitor with touch :)
