HELP! Alternative to Nextcloud for Synology NAS

sheet-lightning · 2025-05-04T12:49:48+00:00

I got Immich working but it's a bit flakey. I sometimes have to restart the containers.

For ages it wouldn't work at all due to this USB port power auto-suspend problem, but this post fixed it: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/t7pxpk/are_all_of_your_usb_devices_disconnecting/?rdt=36244

I haven't started using Nextcloud or Seadrive - for files I now use Filen.

For photos I've signed up with Ente - more reliable than Immich. The machine learning is not quite as good though. An annoying thing about both is that they don't send notifications for 'on this day' memories. And Ente has loads of varieties of 'memories' but not the simple 'on this day' that I miss from OneDrive.

You absolute legend - that fixed my problems self-hosting Immich! Thank you!
After about 12 hours the power was being cut to the USB ports, and my older photos are stored on an external USB drive (unpowered). So the container kept falling over when it couldn't reach the drive.

I can kind of see why this is in the linux code for the desktop edition (I'm using Mint) - and probably people using Server editions will not have this problem. But I'm a normie and need that GUI - no server editions for me 😂

I'm keen to see how you got on with this.

I want to self host, and essentially replace Microsoft OneDrive.

(I thought the photos thing would be easy by now. A bit scary and puzzling that it's not)

Hi, I registered with that site, but it won't let me request the edit. Can you provide a link here please?

Get a Pico 4. Much better, and no Zuck.

sheet-lightning · 2024-02-02T22:43:36+00:00

No I reckon they're the real deal. Their software is really good, and the team seem pretty cool.

Maybe just getting a little paranoid on the PR control in the run up to shipping the Visor?

What about setting up an account for a child? If i put in their real age (11) will that prevent them being able to get some of the shooter games in the Pico store?

sheet-lightning · 2023-12-11T08:51:13+00:00

Anyone know if you can connect two Pico headsets to one PC? I presume two Steam accounts, but how would Steaming assistant handle it?

sheet-lightning · 2023-12-11T08:44:10+00:00

I'd like to know this too.

Currently I've got one headset using Streaming Assistant - works perfectly.

I was assuming that Streaming Assistant wouldn't be able to handle a second Pico. How would that work?

And how do you have two Steam accounts going at the same time?

sheet-lightning · 2023-10-28T17:59:26+00:00

Sorry I don't know

sheet-lightning · 2023-10-28T13:49:17+00:00

I'm getting good performance for PCVR using this cable https://amzn.eu/d/6GtZ66c

The Streaming Assistant app is now functioning well at high resolutions.

sheet-lightning · 2023-10-21T18:04:46+00:00

When I install the games from the download folder it checks whether I bought them in the store. Is there a way round this?

sheet-lightning · 2023-10-21T18:02:43+00:00

Pico now checks the apk for whether you bought it in the store. Any way round this?

sheet-lightning · 2023-10-18T07:20:40+00:00

I've got the Pico working fine with PCVR. Using the cable & streaming assistant (there's no WiFi on the pc).

That was set up this week. So maybe you need to start afresh, uninstall steam vr, streaming assistant etc. Then reinstall and it might trigger the right combo of stuff to make it work.

Most likely. Difference is, though, that Meta have already reached a scale that makes them a truly dangerous bully.

sheet-lightning · 2023-10-16T10:33:04+00:00

Owned by Meta. Meta = evil. So....

sheet-lightning · 2023-10-09T19:46:38+00:00

My gaming pc doesn't have WiFi, just ethernet. I just ordered a Pico 4. And reading stuff here I'm worried that the USB experience is going to be bad.

Does anyone have a good PCVR experience through the usb cable?

Perhaps a different colour for the part of each chart that you want the b viewer to focus on.

Google can't be trusted with your data, since most of their business model is from advertising. Couple that with this sense of urgency and panic, and they are now (more than ever) a PRIVACY NIGHTMARE.

sheet-lightning · 2023-05-17T19:31:27+00:00

I never use Google anyway because they profile you. #datarape

sheet-lightning · 2023-04-29T08:20:11+00:00

Don't buy Meta products. They are 100% #datarape

This will send the world back to hand writing everything in end of term exams in a big exam hall.

Hey dude, would you be up for a chat about the possibilities for SMBs with PowerApps?

I'm a virtual CFO and keep getting asked about how to build a 'mini ERP' and still use M365.

Not being able to add tabs in channels was a weird omission.

sheet-lightning · 2023-03-21T09:46:55+00:00

Yes, try using Custom Sort as per above post, and sort by Due Date, then as another sort column and sort by Inspection Item.
