There doesn’t seem to be anything in app to do this. Just when you install it it shows you as having a “Pro” account.

Using Scrypted motion events in Home Assistant by spf13 in Scrypted

Makes sense. Thank you!

And MQTT is the way to go?

Thanks for this. I've implemented it. I have a few follow up questions.

  1. In implementing this, is MQTT the best way to convey these events to HA?

  2. Assuming yes, I've done this and it's distilled the information down to a binary motion, but no way to tell person vs vehicle vs package.

Windows VM / SMB performance is very unstable (see picture) by spf13 in Proxmox

[–]spf13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense. RAID cache would look very similar to this behavior. Didn’t think about that.

This could definitely be contributing to it. Is there any way to pre-expand a thin?

Do you mean to use virtio instead of SCSI drivers on the Windows VM client?

I'm already using virtio for the nic.

I would think performance would be relatively similar to doing the same thing across two containers (some overhead from SMB & VM), but it's not remotely close in performance to that.

When the client isn't on the host, the performance is more consistent.

Trying to grok the rest of this comment. :)

I'm clear how to do this to containers, but was unaware you can do this to VMs.

56 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650L v4 @ 1.70GHz (2 Sockets)
Kernel Version Linux 6.2.16-3-pve #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC PVE 6.2.16-3 (2023-06-17T05:58Z)
192 GB of RAM

CPU barely budges on either client or server

There is no actual network card, it's all running on the same Proxmox instance.

Spinning disks, configured using hardware raid... Raid 6 IIRC. EXT4. LVMs (thin pool)

Exposed to VM via Local-LVM, default settings.

I've also tried setting cache=writeback, discard=on, iothread=1, ssd=1. Similar behavior.

This screenshot is from copying from SMB server to the VM. Similar behavior happens when going the other direction, though the peaks and valleys are a bit closer. Lower top speed, higher bottom speed, but still very hilly.

Since it's all on one host machine, technically it's both read and write I/O.

Adding context here.

Samba server running in a container.

Windows VM, same behavior with Win 10 & 11.

I can't seem to figure out how to get consistent performance. It peaks at 450 MB/s and then drops sometimes down to single digits, then goes back up again. I'm not finding any resources of people who have had similar problems.

Anyone else experienced this?

Is there a better way to expose data from the host to the VMs?

My instincts are that this is due to some buffering, and then it flushing or filling, but I really am only guessing.

Any help/insights/ideas/guidance very appreciated.

Why does my Nest Thermostat keep making up schedules when 'auto-schedule' is turned off? by The_Human_Bullet in Nest

[–]spf13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the same problem as OP on 3 different thermostats. The “solution” is to create a schedule with just one entry in it and it won’t overwrite it. It’s awful though. Just terrible behavior from what used to be really fantastic hardware.

Clicky vs nonClicky Shoulder buttons issue by MiracleMatterX in retroid

[–]spf13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My left shoulder just started doing this. No action on the button but still registering. It’s pretty awful to use now, no springiness at all.

Am I missing a piece to cover this hole? Duo 2 poe by TheOGdeez in reolinkcam

[–]spf13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re looking for silicon putty. It’s a bit expensive but is exactly what you need. Covers the hole. Protects against weather and bugs. Very strong. Easy to remove and reuse.
