There's another trick I use sometimes when nothing else works..
Use ANOTHER computer to install Windows onto the the original laptop drive. (make sure that computer you're using has no other drives plugged in).
once the installation process is complete, during the reboot countdown, turn off the computer instead, don't let it reboot.
install the drive back into the original computer
I've used that method to get around off lease or auction laptops where I couldn't reset/remove/clear/reflash the bios password and all the boot stuff/order is locked down
Lot's of things have been fixed but theres still much to do. The issue was broken down to smaller issues for tracking and I check back every once in a while.
Even if there were no security issues, exposing jellyfin is also another can... choice of:
open up ports
cloudflare (and potential ban for video content on the free tier, even if caching is disabled)
There's still a bunch of outstanding API security issues last I checked, so it's not secure enough for me to open to the web.
Teaching friends and family to use it with a VPN is a whole another can. Also, you'll have to make sure the VPN is secure and users don't have access to the rest of your network...
and then you'll have to deal with client apps/access for mobile, android boxes, TVs, and Chromecasts...
I got lucky with the Plex Pass too so I can only ride this out to the end until Jellyfin catches up. (also, I'm not good to contribute code)
I highly recommend openmediavault as well. Been using it for all my servers. After you get it installed, just make sure to install the omv-extras plugin so you can use docker/docker-compose from the UI (if you want).
Gives you a nice web GUI and is Debian based so you can dive into the CLI if you want.
Just be aware that you shouldn't modify some files that are managed by Openmediavault (like the fstab) and never install a desktop environment or you'll break openmediavault.
Did nextcloud ever fix the bug that would randomly destroy date metadata on photos and reset it to 1970? I had about 20% of my library affected (thank backup of backups!)
I was never able to get .heic previews working properly 2 years back either.
I'm using Immich now and its a lot less of a hassle after leaving beta and breaking changes behind
it's a branch of sunshine but supports virtual displays (and some other stuff).
i can launch moonlight on any of my clients (phone - 2316x1080, laptop - 2880x1800, laptop connected monitor - 2560x1440p) and the virtual monitor will spawn and match the client resolution automatically.
when I disconnect, the resolution will revert back to the desktop connected monitor.
this won't let you use your desktop while streaming games elsewhere though. You'll need to do VM's or Docker+wolf for something like that.
i would probably do it with two+ automations. Something like:
ON automation:
trigger:
time pattern - beginning of every 3 hours
then:
start timer with duration 37 minutes (select your timer helper)
Turn on AC unit
OFF automation:
trigger:
Manual Event
event type: timer.finished (case sensitive!)
event data : entity_id: timer.[timer_helper_entity]
then:
turn off AC unit
STARTUP_CHECK automation:
trigger:
when home assistant is started
if:
state - timer helper is idle
AC is on
then:
turn AC off
Note 1: make sure the timer helper has restore state and time when HA starts enabled
note 2: automations using the timer.finished event will not trigger on startup if the timer expires when Home Assistant is not running.
note 2a: the third automation is for your edge case that you reboot/shutdown HA when the OFF automation was supposed to fire. it should ensure the AC turns off after the timer was supposed to be finished and HA is started. this automation does not account for if the AC is turned on manually and you restart HA.
i can get you the .YAML or pictures when I'm at a computer.
WOW... we were trying to hunt down why my buddy's forestor's battery kept dying....
We even disconnected the wire that tells the alternator to stop charging the battery...

Now I want a fallout: new Vegas remaster but every ghoul is handsome Squidward...
oh I forgot about Plexamp. Its been my main music app since it also does Android auto.
It just works so well and nothing else comes close so far.
This was the security report from awhile back:

I'm in the same boat. I use gesture navigation so I have the pill at the bottom.
Holding that still opens Google's interface.
@Aditya_151@lemmy.world is there anyway to hook into that?
I guess for now the workaround is to enable accessibility service and move the overlay to the bottom.
edit1: also make sure to disable OG circle to search.
edit2: seems promising but doesn't do OCR text copy like OG circle to search (a future I use a lot). Will be keeping an eye on this.
what happened with CWA? I was thinking of using it

what kind of paint and top coat are you using? you almost made it look at an aluminum case.
again, looks great!
is the top case 3D printed too?
from the layer marks on the bottom, it suggests it is (and looks like a 10 or 15 degree angle) but the top is smooth as hell. ABS acetone smoothing?
it looks great!
ps, split space club 😁

instead of sunshine, try apollo.

nice! what's that first card you used for the home security?
I was never able to get this to work properly... my mouse cursor always just disappears. 🙃
