So you have photoprism pointed to a folder but you push photos into the folder witb syncthing. How do you trigger the re-index or its somehow automatic? I run my photoprism in docker and I always had to manually trigger the index after changes to the folder.

As someone who has and still used photoprism for over two years and donated heavily...steer clear. Their update cycle is slow and the things they keep adding don't seem helpful. Still no multi-user support. If you don't upload new photos via photoprism using WebDAV you have to make your own scripts to watch for changes and refresh which took a lot of time for me to setup.

I'm just going to start using Nextcloud and Memories app going forward.

Most folks ignore laptops, but if you're OK with USB storage or getting the special caddy to install the internal 2.5" drive you can get great deals on laptops. This one idles around 4W with the screen off.

Status symbol and to project a personality.

Well incompetentboob, let me tell you. You will short and blow the voltage supply on the motherboard and take that port out of service.

Install Enocean wireless, battery free switches. I've used them for many years, they work awsome. The switches can go anywhere you want (double side tape on any surface) or screw in as normal light switches. The act of pushing the button generates enough energy to send the RF signal to a receiver you install with the light and its powered from AC mains.

You have to park in a garage and walk down a narrow path lined with people trying to sell you shit. Its more like visiting a mall with aggressive salesmen than a national park. It was the worst stop I made during a cross country road trip.

I use Ruffle on my personal domain to host my college flash web page again. I made the super Mario world map into a web page for an internet gaming group on campus and spent way too much time doing it. I was delighted I could host it again.

For anyone that cares

Needing something is one thing, tax payer subsidies is another topic entirely. State tax payers have now all chipped in for these Data centers and the question is was it worth it for them.

Required course work for electrical engineers in the early 2000s.

I use the onboard CPU of my ryzen 5600g for my jellyfin and nextcloud (memories app) duties and it works flawless.

May or may not be an option for you but buy any camera that supports rtsp, only allow that traffic from their network through and block everything else. Works fine for me and my Amcrest cameras. You could accomplish this with a pi and a USB network card and some basic iptables.

Lockheed Martin pulled this shit on me 20 years ago. Applied for a job, did a quick phone screen and they invited me to their campus 5 hours away for an in person interview. When I got there they had a whole gymnasium setup with booths and about 50 people doing interviews and 200 bewildered engineers showing up hoping for a job. They never once mentioned it was going to be factory interviews. Fuck that and similar companies.

I had to google ventoy and now I feel like a cave man because I have a dish with 6 flash drives that all have different ISOs

Foldersync pro has worked flawlessly for me for over a decade. At first I just used samba on my LAN and it would sync at night but then I spun up new and more services and it supports most all of them. I highly recommend.

Been using it for over a year on two 8tb SSDs in strip and 14tb as mirror. This is on Debian and its flawless and wonderful. I run btrkbk hourly for snapshots, backups to remote locations and house keeping with 6 months of hourly snaps. Life is great.

I have the micro form factor I assume the same as you. Basically just a laptop in a small desktop case. I never installed tlp I'll have to give that a shot but I'm pretty sure it's optimized. I have two as servers and one as a router and I'd love to get it down to 12w total! I monitor the whole server rack with an iotawatt and all my servers and networking gear hovers around 75w idle.

I'd question that. I have three 3080 and they're consistently about 8W each with one ssd and onboard graphics. I even went so far to splice three barrel jacks to a single 60w power supply that powers all three to avoid the losses of an additional 2 power supplies and this gets me the 8w idle power with Debian and throttling.

They exposed the intranet RMA portal used by MSI customer reps to review RMA claims, customer communications and all the personal info of the customers. The portal has a nifty button to dump the whole database to a CSV file going back to 2017.
