  • I would especially advise against relying on battery banks due to the heat, if you're just going to use it in the car and already going to the trouble of customizing so much hardware I'd find a way to run a power supply off a switched 12v fuse or wire from the car - just convert to 5v/USB power. I'm sure there are generic kits online

  • You know, my thumbnails load super slow on my phone but your comment made me think I should check where the thumbnails are located. First though I noticed I had this setting on, after disabling it they now load almost instantly:

  • My setup is exactly what you're aiming for: Immich and it's database resides on the main SSD while the photos and videos are uploaded to my NAS using NFS shares and a bind mount to /mnt/
    I run Cosmos Cloud so the manner in which it's implemented may be slightly different to your setup.

    It isnt the snappiest experience loading media off the HDD's but it's been very reliable.

  • While you are right that the V20's implementation was limited use, it added an ease of interaction with notifications and controls you mentioned.

    I'd argue a 10% screen share implementation is limited use as well though. The article even spends a lot of time talking about how you can't see much on that sliver of screen, it's just an easy way to swap between apps - which we can already do by double tapping the square button.

  • My first time I started winging it with a raspberry pi, docker, and nginx and it took me like 2 months to get one service up and running and I didn't feel it was very secure - fail2ban didn't work, geoblocking didn't work, and updates were manual.

    When I re-started from scratch with an x86 device and cosmos it has been shockingly easy in comparison. Not only is it much quicker to spool the service up (app store), they can be automatically updated, the proxy has options for geoblocking, rate limiting, etc.

    I've even got some of the services below built from a custom compose file instead of the app store, some use remote storage and some are set up with OAuth SSO. There's still mild troubleshooting for a lot of things but it's been much easier for me to understand and fix issues, plus there's an active discord community as well.

  • The unfortunate reality is in our system that is not possible unless democrats can achieve decades of overwhelming wins. We can't get rid of the things you mentioned without a majority in the house, and a 60% majority in the senate considering how often republicans filibuster. Even then, we need to claw back the 3-6 disadvantage in the supreme court for any changes to stick long term.

  • "At the extremes, a vegan cyclist will produce only 5% of the emissions a conventional pickup truck will produce, while a meat-loving cyclist will actually produce 42% more GHGs than the most efficient EV. " http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2022/ph240/schutt2/

    I'm sure the exact numbers are a little open to interpretation but I've seen it mentioned more than once in different places. That said, I absolutely try to commute on my ebike as much as possible

  • Paradoxically there are actually some indications that the calories burned while bicycling, especially from a meat-heavy diet, lead to more carbon emissions per mile than powering an electric car with anything other than coal. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1108357_electric-cars-vs-bicycles-which-has-a-higher-carbon-footprint There are still a wide variety of societal benefits to more bicycling but it's not quite accurate say "zero" impact I think.

  • I don't know about all manufacturers but Sony and I think Samsung both allow you to limit max state of charge to 80%, I just hit 3 years on my device consistently using that feature, and haven't seen much degradation yet.

  • I only have my one anecdote to go off of, but if you are located in the US eBay is full of enterprise computer reseller postings and mine arrived in very clean condition. And eBay generally has pretty strong buyer protections.

  • The beginning of your post sounds like you are still looking at hardware to buy, but the later half seems like you already have the NUC?

    If not I'd suggest looking at a used HP Mini, Lenovo Tiny, or Dell Micro ex-enterprise PC. They can be had very cheap off ebay, run with similarly low power demands but very capable devices. I run an HP 705 G4 mini Ryzen 5 2600GE with 16gb ram, 256gb SSD, cost me about $95 and averages about 15w

  • Additionally here's an excellent tutorial to do it via Docker Compose in Cosmos Cloud:

    1. Locate the Docker Compose File:
      • Find the Docker Compose file for the desired service. For example, you can use the Open Chat UI and Ollama setup from the following GitHub repository: Open Chat UI Docker Compose File
    2. Docker Compose Configuration:
    3. Import the Docker Compose File:
      • Go to the ServApps section in Cosmos.
      • Click on Import Compose File.
      • Click Next and proceed to add or modify the configuration. Replace any ${} placeholders with the desired values, such as latest or any specific version you prefer. You can also make changes later if needed.
    4. Create the Docker Containers:
      • Click Create. The Docker containers will be automatically created based on the provided configuration.
    5. Access the Service:
      • After the containers are created, you can access the service by adding a new URL.
      • Cosmos typically auto-detects the correct port, so you usually only need to create the URL.
      • You can now access the service as usual.
    6. Customize with Labels:
      • Optionally, you can customize the service further using labels such as:
        • cosmos-icon
        • cosmos-stack
        • cosmos-stack-main
    7. Modify Environment Variables:
      • Refer to the documentation for the Docker service and its environment variables. You can modify these variables directly from the Docker or Compose tab in Cosmos.

    That's it!
