Install Guix

  • My breakage happened a while ago, so I don't quite remember all of the details...

    but what I think happened was I updated /etc/immich/.env. I updated the path for DB_DATA_LOCATION and/or UPLOAD_LOCATION and then I ran docker compose up -d I think. But nothing changed....

  • What commands do you have to run after you update docker-compose.yml or .env files? I updated one of those files once bad things happened... I haven't had to update the configs in a long time.

  • I need to learn more about the *arr stack.

  • I have my own server and it's great, but the real product these streaming services sell isn't access to content—it's discoverability and recommendations. We need a better solution for that!

  • I guess it depends on what "orchestration" means to you... 🤔

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchestration_%28computing%29

    In system administration, orchestration is the automated configuration, coordination, deployment, development, and management of computer systems and software.

    Docker compose pretty much seems to check every one of these boxes.

  • I said yes. Then it asks what platform you use and I clicked "Docker".

  • CHIDO.

  • Guix, there are dozens of us! Dozens!

  • If a service falls in a server and no one is around to hear it, does it actually matter?

  • frigate

    I'm learning more about Frigate, seems cool. Are you able to get notifications to your phone with Frigate? Actually, is there a mobile app at all? Do you need to run Home Assistant to get notifications from Frigate or can Frigate provide notifications by itself?

  • Oh! Interesting! The maintainer doesn't have Reolink in their recommendations. (Although... the affiliate link stuff kinda muddies the water...)

    I recommend Dahua, Hikvision, and Amcrest in that order.

    Here are some of the cameras I recommend:

    • Loryta(Dahua) IPC-T549M-ALED-S3 (affiliate link)
    • Loryta(Dahua) IPC-T54IR-AS (affiliate link)
    • Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW-AI-V3 (affiliate link)
    • HIKVISION DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL ColorVu 8MP Panoramic Turret IP Camera (affiliate link)

    There is a suggested Reolink setup mentioned though: https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/camera_specific/#reolink-cameras

    Reolink has many different camera models with inconsistently supported features and behavior.

    Also, dang.

    WiFi cameras are not recommended as their streams are less reliable and cause connection loss and/or lost video data, especially when more than a few WiFi cameras will be used at the same time.

    Are most folks using wired cameras? 😬 That seems non-trivial to wire up cameras all over...

  • How do people feel about support comms? We already have a comm for Google Pixel, what if Google officially took over the comm and offered support there?

    A lot of companies, unfortunately, offer support on Reddit. I'd much rather find questions and answers here on Lemmy, instead of having to visit Reddit.

  • Security by trashcurity, brilliant!

  • How about "Thieves steal computers"?

  • What are they gonna do with that?

    Steal it.

    Who is gonna buy that from them?

    People on eBay who buy used computer parts, like me.

    What can they buy with that?

    Money can buy many peanuts.

  • Thankfully, I don't think there's ever been a flood where I live. House burning down is way more likely. But, break-ins do happen in my town. Actually, what prompted me to think about this was that my neighbor recently had their house broken into.

  • Backup and encryption

    Yeah, I guess this is the solution. Encryption I get. But where do you backup to? I currently have about 4TB of data and was thinking of at least doubling capacity soon. How expensive is it to backup 8TB of data somewhere?
