Arrrrr and ahoi o7

Post this in a piracy community and it goes full circle

Looks like factorio

It is worth noting here that Valve recently announced a new feature that allows Steam users to share games with their friends and family. Dubbed “Steam Families,”

New? That exists for years Oo. Or what am I missing here?

Not using Google for ages, bit I remember that big changes on,eg, Facebook roll out gradually. So not all users at the same time.

A lot of people are pirating not because of the money, but the horrible service of the streaming platforms

They don’t have such kits at all but I like the store really much. Thanks for the link!

Thank you, that helps a lot. This kind of hardware introduction is missing on esphome.io :)

Yes exactly, when looking for it I find only Arduino kits. Some time ago I got interested in pine64, was reading a while and bought a soc board plus some stuff around it (like a touch screen and emmc storage). Turned out that particular board didn’t come with the display output and to install a system on emmc you need an UART Adapter, so I ended up buying more stuff, which I was missing. Don’t want to do the same again ^^

With esp32 I have the problem that there are so many different and I don’t see how they differ (except the price)

Really nice project! I wanted to get into esp home for a while, but am missing some kind of starter kit hardware wise. Do you have any recommendations?

Great idea, thanks xD

Always good to hear such news.

Maybe here somebody can help me with a related question: I’m so far just using nextcloud to have my photos somewhere safe but wanted to move to another solution for a while. So far I have only really looked into photoprism, but some problems prevented me to change.

So my first question is: can somebody sum up a comparison between immich and photoprism?

And second is the same just focused on my prior problems: I have a lot of very old (scanned) photos which are hardly sorted, duplicated and so on. Further I have an album of rather decent photos (my own wedding) in which the photographer didn’t include any exif data which is relevant for me (particularly coordinates and creation date, without that they are just completely unsorted on the database). In photoprism I did not find a good way to fix those meta data in bulk and need to do it before I import them, so if I miss something I need to delete them from photoprism and start over (which is also struggling). Is this solved better?

In general I would love if such a tool had some kind of import staging. So my phone uploads the photos and they are safely backed up, but I need to approve them to be included in the overall library. This feature I would like because I often make photos of things I don’t need more then ten minutes.

Best wishes

Didn’t say you should. I would rather not, but, e.g., the mautrix bridges are the only way I can keep contact to a majority of family nowadays sigh

Yeah, I gave up long ago to suggest ppl some alternatives. The problem PPL Here have is the discord only thing. With tools like matter bridge you could combine several tools seemlessly, but that is of course way to much trouble for smaller projects.

Having a reliable drive erasing setup on site is not a thing? That sounds economically better to me

Oh damn. In I was happy 20 years ago about two jet engine like coolers, which ran on 230VAC from a decommissioned computer tomograph

VPN providers usually do not offer port forwarding, so the dedicated IP doesn’t help you. I discussed that in length with a support guy from nordvpn. The dedicated IP is only meant for outgoing connections, so your IP doesn’t jump to crazy, which would cause problems,e.g., with bank logins.

Good that my windows 7 system still runs when I need it once a year ^^

Rule of thirds hurts my OCD brain. But it’s probably a fair enough approximation
