Take a deep breath…

If they let everyone upload, the place would likely go to shit really fast. Poor quality uploads, unseeded uploads, uploads that nobody can download because the seeder doesn’t have a decent internet connection, viruses, illegal images, you name it.

So of course there’s a process. It’s up to you to figure it out, so figure it out. The website that I found isn’t loading for me right now, but the last time I was looking at it, it was very easy to find the post explaining how it all works, and I don’t even have an account there.

Just checking. Anyone can create an account, but uoad privileges there require an application. They have some basic requirements like upload speed, ability to leave things seeded after upload, etc.

I don’t know any details because I don’t have an account there. I just read whatever is available in the FAQ.

I have a bunch of z-wave, too. Z-wave and Zigbee, I think, only broadcast when needed. That’s why they’re much more battery friendly. If they’re plugged in, they do more listening and re-broadcasting to do what you’re talking about.

Wifi has, relatively, a ton more traffic. DHCP renewals, keep-alive messages, and basically always listening all the time to see if something is looking for it. That being said, these smart switches use very little data overall. Unifi shows them using about 700 bits per second, which is 0.0007 Mbps.

Actually now that I think about it, without more than 1 access point, everything will all be on the same channel. I have 3 different channels due to having 3 different access points, all set to individual channels. This reduces conflicts (more than one device trying to use the same channel at the same time, a weakness of wifi).

As of right now, my “busiest” access point has 23 devices connected to it on 2.4 GHz. The AP is reporting that channel being 23% utilized. Still, I wouldn’t want anywhere near 100% utilization. Things would certainly slow down as it gets higher.

Newer versions of WiFi reduce this problem, but smart devices use whatever is cheap and effective. 2.4 GHz travels better through walls and has better range compared to 5 GHz, but 5 GHz is faster and has more available channels.

I currently have 54 things connected to WiFi in my house. Only 10 of those are connected to 5 Ghz. The rest only support 2.4.

With one good access point it would probably work no problem. I have 3 access points due to the layout of my house.

Use channels 1, 6, and/or 11. Those are the only channels that don’t overlap with other channels. If you live in a dense area, 2.4 gets tricky. 5 is easier, because more channels.

They work like regular switches. The flip of the physical switch sends the change back to home assistant to keep everything synchronicity.

I don’t have any, though, so I’m not sure if you can set it to “up is always on”, or if it ends up being a switch, so “whichever direction just changes the on/off state”

Did you apply?

“Easy” might just be relevant to your experience. You can follow along with the Ansible instructions, or go your own way with Docker and Docker Compose.

Both methods require a bit of work to get spun up, but it’s not too bad.

Thanks for posting this!

Meh, even then. If they’re 60MB each that’s only 120GB.

I’ve used it plenty of times for other reasons. I can never remember what kind of CPU I have and it tells me. I can’t even remember how much RAM I have, and it tells me that, too.

I’m sure the next thing someone is going to do is tell me the individual commands to find that info, but I can’t be bothered with that.

Noticeable difference loading the page? Loading photos? Uploading photos?

Photo files are relatively small, so an HDD is absolutely fine.

Oh thanks for the heads up

Big trouble, mister. They’re gonna git you!

I feel ya. Make a fake GitHub account, maybe?

Or manually download each custom component that you want?

I installed MagicMirror onto a Raspberry Pi using a pre-made Magic Mirror OS image (can’t remember where I got that, but I think it’s relatively “official”, so maybe their website? It comes ready to go with Docker and everything you need set up.

Then I installed this https://github.com/pelaxa/MMM-ImmichSlideShow and configured it.

I actually found some additional configuration options by going back in the chain to the project it’s based on (linked at the top of the readme). Their documentation included some additional stuff that actually works with MMM-ImmichSlideShow. Edit: Looking at my config again, and all the stuff is in the MM-ImmichSlideShow documentation now. Maybe they updated it.

Then I hooked up an old monitor, put it in vertical mode, and that’s it.

It was actually kind of difficult to figure out how to get the display to work in vertical mode. A lot of old forum posts are the “old” way of doing it. I ended up making a cronjob that runs 60 seconds after boot and runs some command that rotates the display. I’ll dig it up if you need me to, but since MMM-ImmichSlideShow is still broken it’s not turned on right now so I can’t check it. Here’s the line from my crontab to rotate the display: @reboot sleep 60 && DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right

Aha, that must be it. The photo in question is 6.7MB

I’m able to save a trail without any photos, but if I try to add a photo it lets me select the photo, but saving the trail gives a toast notification in the bottom right that says “Error saving trail.” The web, db, and search logs don’t show any errors.
