  • I have pihole running on an old Raspberry Pi B and it just chugs along. Except for the wonky update they put out a few months ago. That took some cleaning up after.I check the dashboard a few times a day and it's a good way to notice network issues and misbehaving programs.I'm also running it through cloudflared to encrypt the requests, in case my ISP is snooping on them.

  • What is your development environment?

    Jump

  • Windows with PythonWin (like IDLE) for most stuff, VSCode for vibe coding, even though I haven't explored it much. I still need to figure out how to get local coding models running so I can compare them to whatever online AI comes with VS.Plus a Mac with TextMate.

  • Cams, anyone?

    Jump

  • It displays fine by default, but the image only updates every several seconds. I'm talking about a live video feed, which needs some kind of special frame which has to be bolted onto HA somehow.

  • I haven't, that's the problem. It seems like it's possible, but I've given up trying for the moment.

  • I have a Reolink PoE camera. It works fine. As far as I can tell, it only uses the internet to check for updates and set the time, but I have it blocked off anyway. Home Assistant was actually causing it to check for updates, too, so that got disabled.I don't record, so I can't help you there.I will say that is a pain to get Home Assistant to display real-time video instead of a slide show.

  • Right? Has this ever worked for anyone? I've never bothered because of how easy it is for spammers to bypass.

  • Wrongly, I'm afraid. I remember this series of "alot" illustrations from years ago. IIRC a web comic author made them.

  • What are you all using for a 2FA token manager?

    Jump

  • Bitwarden Authenticator because Bitwarden seems to have a good reputation. I don't use their password manager, though.It does seem faintly insecure that it displays all of the codes at once on one page, but I'm having trouble imagining a scenario where it's actually a problem.

  • Security camera recommendations?

  • I have a Reolink PoE camera. It's plugged into Home Assistant, and some setting in the integration had it phoning home constantly looking for updates. I turned that off and now it only connects outside of my network to sync the time.The camera has survived outside for a few years now, so no complaints.

  • Home Assistant for viewing

    Heads up: by default, HA does not show real-time, full-framerate video - just a snapshot that updates every 10 seconds or whatever. As with all things open source, there is a way to fix it, but you have to faff around. I haven't bothered yet, but it's on my list.

  • What are you guys using to sort and name music?

  • Sonarr + Picard

    Do you mean Lidarr? Sonarr is the TV one (confusingly).

  • CPU-heavy process

    Sounds to me like a hardware issue: you're overheating. Find a way to monitor your temps. I'm not sure how to do this on Linux, so I'm open to suggestions too.

  • Ignoring lemmyhate, are programmers really using AI to be more efficient?

    Jump

  • I've had good luck having it write simple scripts that I could easily handle myself. For example, I needed a script to chop a directory full of log files up into archives, with some constraints. That sort of thing.I haven't tried it on anything more substantial.This was using Copilot because I haven't found a good coding model that will run locally on 16GB VRAM.

  • What Git clients do you use?

    Jump

  • I use GitHub Desktop on Mac and PC. It works fine with local repos, too.

  • DietPi is great!

    Jump

  • Given pihole's recent record with updates, I'm not sure I want them firing automatically.

  • DietPi is great!

    Jump

  • Unfortunately I can't remember whether I downloaded pihole from some package manager within DietPi, or whether I used the instructions on pihole's site. It's not hard either way, it's really just one package.

  • DietPi is great!

    Jump

  • I run it for my pi-hole. It's been great. It tells you when there are package updates when you log in, which I find helpful.

  • Lots of Lemmy forums have a problem with stupid rage bait being left up. Like this could be in /c/programming since X is a program after all.
