Waffle cut are a novelty. Crinkle cut are the best. Fight me.

I know it's CoM, who is basically Apple propaganda (forever living up to their name), but I've seen these iPhone 17 mock-ups before, and I really think they look like Pixels! Seriously, I have a Pixel 9 Pro that I use for work, and the design of the iPhone 17 is the definition of uninspired. Please, Tim, hire some good industrial designers. It's been a long boring stretch since Ive left.

I'm trying to boot some VMs using a script w/ a kickstart file. I'm using the following script that I found online and modified:

Current setup is PMS running on a Synology 5-bay, and another PMS running on a Shield Pro. The NAS server is primarily used for remote streaming, while the Shield serves to my home LAN (AppleTVs mainly).

I've been seeing stuttering on larger files, either using the Plex app or Infuse, and I'm fairly certain the Synology is the weak link. Network performance in the house has pretty solid, though admittedly I could stand to test it more thoroughly. I've been looking at moving my library to a standalone system. I've been looking at the Beelink ME Mini (which happens to be on sale!). What I don't know is the best way to build this out.

I don't want to have to buy all 6 SSDs (ar at least 6x4TB ones!) at once, so I'd be looking at either a stock Linux (Ubuntu or Rocky) install w/ I guess a BTRFS pool for the SSDs (I'm guessing I can use the eMMC for OS depending on how big the install is - that or use the SSD in slot 4). Alternatively, i could possibly set up TruNAS w/ the Plex pp to mana

There comes a point in the career of every contemporary Republican politician when they will be forced to do, say, or defend something that is broadly unconscionable. This mandatory inevitable heel turn is the price of conservative political ambition in the Donald Trump era. In exchange for the right to seek and attain national office in the party that he leads, Trump—in a curdled neofascist parody of the wedding scene from The Godfather—always eventually requires his supplicants to prove their loyalty to him by taking on his vendettas, bigotries, hatreds, and obsessions as their own. What’s more, he prefers that they do it with gusto.

Watched it with my wife over the weekend, and had some thoughts. First, the acting is exceptional throughout. Seriously, I don’t think there was a weak performance from anyone. Second, the cinematography was clever, but I’m not sure it was anything more than that. Shooting each episode as a oner brings some limitations with what you can do plot-wise. This brings me to my third thought: I think they missed an episode. Each of the 4 episodes focuses on one person or small group of people, but there isn’t really an episode that focuses on the boy and the victim before the “incident.”

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler Episode 1 first hits you with the arrest, then there’s a slow boil until the end when you see this kid you had some sympathy for actually did it! I think episode 2 or 3 should have been a look at his and her perspectives leading up to the attack. Was she bullying him, or was she pointing out what everyone else already knew: that he was a men’s rights activist/incel/redpiller. His

I got a P1S as a Christmas present for me and my wife. For now, my plan is to block its internet connection and stop using the Bambu app altogether. When/if it his stops working for me, what does the community recommend as a replacement for newbies like me, or future newbs who haven’t made this mistake?

Looking for some good comedies. I looked at the top shows on Brit Box (streaming channel in the US), and most of them are police procedurals! I think the first comedy is Gavin & Stacy, which I haven’t seen but isn’t there something newer? My wife and I have enjoyed Coupling and Inbetweeners. Any suggestions?

Guy: Jenny McCarthy?

Martin: That’s OK.

I have a handful of photos that were taken with my iPhone and are raw DNG files. Immich refuses to display them rotated properly. Unfortunately, unless I'm missing something, the "rotate" function in the app is really just creating a new JPG (with new, separate, metadata) to be reuploaded. Thing is, everywhere else view these images they come up rotated correctly. Photos, Synology Photos, Lightroom all display them right side up. Immich refuses to. Anyone have a workaround? Some are upside down, others should be landscape orientation, but Immich thinks they're portrait.

I've had 6 LiFX BR30 lights on the front of my house since 2019. At first, they were pretty decent. One would fall off the network every other month, or so, but that wasn't much of a pain. Lately, multiple lights will drop off the Wi-Fi every week. I'm at the point where I will either replace them, or install smart switches to just turn them off/on like normal lights. Looking around, I don't see much in this size that are rated for outdoor use and support multiple colors. The current ones are set to Ukraine colors since the invasion, and I also change them for holidays. Ideally, I'd like to find something supporting zigbee, thread, or z-wave - pretty much in that order.

I want to start by saying I recognize that everyone's needs & priorities are different.

My wife and I both have iPhones, and i have a Pixel 7 Pro I use for work (and sometimes to compare the camera to the iPhones). All of our photos are currently backed up to iCloud (Apple One Premier - 2TB storage) and via Synology Photos. The Pixel has "unlimited" storage for photo backup w/ Google, and also backs up to the Synology. In general, I would like to get off of Google, but it's 99% work stuff that I wouldn't miss if it was lost.

There's a lot that I really like about Immich, but there are also some real pain points for me. I'm not going to comment on the discrepancies between the mobile vs. web interfaces as I expect them to be addressed as the product matures.

• The rapid development is both a blessing and a curse. I love that the team are really working through the roadmap. But sometimes it feels like new features arrive somewhat half-baked. The most common example being something is r

Currently, I use dockerproxy + swag and Cloudflare for externally-facing services. I really like that I don't have to open any ports on my router for this to work, and I don't need to create any routes for new services. When a new service is started, I simply include a label to call swag and the subdomain & TLS cert are registered with Cloudflare. About the only complaint I have is Cloudflare's 100MG upload limit, but I can easily work around that, and it's not a limit I see myself hitting too often.

What's not clear to me is what I'm missing by not using Traefik or Caddy. Currently, the only thing I don't have in my setup is central authentication. I'm leaning towards Authentik for that, and I might look at putting it on a VPS, but that's the only thing I have planned. Other than that, almost everything's running on a single Beelink S12. If I had to, I could probably stand up a failover pretty quickly, though.

I've been banging my head on this for a few days now, and I can't figure this out. When I start up immich container, I see in docker ps:

netstat shows that port 2283 is listening, but I cannot access http://IP_ADDRESS:2283 from Windows, Linux, or Mac host. If I SSH in and run a browser back through that, I can't access it via localhost. I even tried changing the port to 2284. I can see the change in netstat and docker ps outputs, bu

A long long time ago, I bought a domain or two, and a shared hosting plan from Dreamhost w/ unlimited bandwidth/storage. I don't have root access, and can't do containers on this. It's been useful for a Piwigo instance to share scanned family photos. The problem I have is the limited resources really limit Piwigo's ability to handle the large TIF files involved in the archival scans. There are ways around this, but they all add time to the workflow that already eats into my free time enough. I'm looking at moving Piwigo to my local server that has plenty of available resources. That leaves me with little reason to keep the Dreamhost space. So what's a decent use case for cheap, shared hosting space anymore?

To be clear, I'm not looking for suggestions to move to a cheap VPS. I've looked into them, and might use one in the future, but don't need it right now. The shared hosting costs about $10.99/month at the moment. If there was a way I could leverage the unlimited bandwidth/storage a
