Some meetings, I wish I'd bought a steamdeck.

Terminal 5 was an absolute masterclass in how to deliver a megaproject.
HS2 is, unfortunately, just another magnitude of complexity. Some of it avoidable, some of it was going to be a pain no matter how much was planned.

It also doesn't help that HS2 got massively underestimated to get political approval and shovels in the ground. (The flipside being, if it had gone with realistic estimates, it could well have been stuck in committee for until 2050)

It's fine though: They've just asked for freedom from liability. And I'm sure they're going to use that power to build a reservoir or something...

I considered this, but was forbidden: The limescale would leave it looking manky.

I think live view is how mine are configured, with a snapshot that updates every few minutes.

Then if it's clicked, the true video stream is opened.

That's a very good shout, as it'll save me mucking about in bash.

That was going to be my backup plan, as I didn't want to use any more resource if I could avoid it 😅

The good news is, we figured it out, and got the file serving out of /config/www without an auth requirement.

Aha, that was what I was after, big thanks!

So, after a bit of meddling:

The location I was placing things in was media>my media (from the HA UI).
Assets there are stored in /media, and served in 8123/media/local, but require an autoSig.
Changing permissions doesn't affect the availability, no sig is a 401 error.

However, if the file is copied from /media to /config/www/ , it's then served (as you said) under 8123/local.

Brill, not too painful a process for a few static images (or indeed if I'm feeling brave, I could just symlink the folders).

Maybe one day there will be a way to upload background images for picture elements cards from the UI :)

I can appreciate that!
I do have standard layouts which are mostly big button to do a thing in the room.
But I also fancied having by-floor layouts.

And you're right: The button I have that sets the kitchen spots on/off/dim as a group is 10x more useable than a scale representation of their location in the ceiling!

HAOS under proxmox.
It's definitely one of those "many ways to skin the cat" situations!

Whichever one best justifies the lifestyle and decisions.

I'm more interested in what people are doing for internal hosting, not external hosting services. Thanks for the info, however.

It could also be that you need to re-add the thumbnails displayed in your dashboards, as the entities may be vestigial ones from when you used Dahua.

I had a weird issue recently, where after a few reboots all the radios seemed to fail with weird errors.
In a similar vein to your solution, replugging them all worked, and after restarting the services they all came back.
And this was an install which (at the time) was quite a few versions behind.

I wondered if it was something strange with the way the USB devices were passed through the hypervisor, maybe a weird race condition where HAOS was ready, but the USBs were not...Anyway, all sorted, same as you!

Feedback I've heard about Drip was that the interface was slightly wanting. Which is a shame. Sample of one, bear in mind!

The important thing is, they're using SMRs.
Megaprojects can go off the rails of time/budget because people try to make them special, bespoke, unique.
"Nothing like this has ever been done before!" When really, you want your project to be like lego: Lots of standard parts (or at least, mass-produced for your project) that connect together to make a larger whole.
SMRs mean more common parts, and more modular building. Build the first, build the second faster, learn from mistakes, etc.

Is that not inevitable once this round of vultures pick at the carcass some more anyway?

One step closer to The Fifth Element every day.

At the moment, it's seen more like using a proxy or VPN. UK users connect to fuk outside of the UK, then the messages are relayed to zip. Fuk is UK focussed, so tries to work with the OSA.
The best analogy is using a UK-focussed email service (wherever it's actually hosted) to email a non-UK address.

Uniqlo knows that there are 4 genders:
