Photos Date Taken Sort will be available in Nextcloud 28
  • I need to spin it up and have a look. I was on photoprism for years, but the dev was always so prickly on Reddit. It really rubbed me the wrong way. With nextcloud, I may also have a better chance getting my spouse to come over.

    Photos Date Taken Sort will be available in Nextcloud 28
  • I run the linuxerver nextcloud container, and it seems like it doesn’t really play well with memories. At least, I can’t get the external transcoding container working, so I’ve put off migrating to the official container just to get memories working.

    Home Assistant Yellow unboxed to bricked in 10 minutes
  • I mean this in the nicest way possible, but if this threw you for a loop, you’re in for a world of hurt once you get the software up and running. It’s not rocket science, but learning to administer any Linux server will take a little time. I’m sure it’s not bricked. Consider this an opportunity to learn how to write a new disk image and interact with your new server through the console.

    Getting in a pickle over hardware
  • 7th gen i5 NUCs can be found on eBay for under $100 shipped with 16gb of ram and a small m2 drive. They’re not as powerful as a larger SFF chip, but at 15w TDP is pretty hard to beat. I have four of them now. I pick one up every time a find a good deal.

    8th gens are still really expensive.

    I Need Frigate or General Home Security Dashboard Inspiration!
  • I honestly just use the frigate web ui as my dashboard. It has everything I need and can be easily accessed from the home assistant app. The only other thing I do is pop up the view on my fully kiosk wall panel when a person is detected for a minute or two. Makes it easy to just glance at who’s at the door without having to fiddle with it.

    If you want to host something on a Raspberry Pi, you should consider using literally any other piece of hardware
  • For that workload, I’d use an ip can and offload the smarts to something like frigate running alongside the rest of my home automation stack. For smaller workloads it’s esp8266/32 all day long. Again, offloading the hard work to my home automation stack rubbing on decent hardware.
