  I don’t use Memories, but yes, uploading photos with FolderSync to Nextcloud (via WebDAV) does add them to the Nextcloud database. They show up as new photos in the recent activities list.

  buttons were discovered by the Conbee and worked perfectly fine, but the home assistant refuses to recognize their functionality.

  That’s not the hardware stick; that’s the controller software stack. Sounds like you switched from deConz to ZHA to go with the hardware change. In which case, this is all fixed by using Zigbee2MQTT instead of HA’s built-in ZHA. Z2M supports more hardware and features than ZHA.

  I know, right? Imagine the very idea that someone older than a millennial is using 3D software. Snort.

  Next thing, somebody will be claiming that gen-Xers, or god forbid some boomers, did the 3D work in Toy Story, or Jurassic Park, or the first Tron movie. Ridiculous.

  Also known as “the iron triangle”.

  Dahua is still a top manufacturer, but does not focus on selling to individual consumers.

  In the US, you will find Dahua cameras being sold most often by Amcrest and Lorex.

  Nice job; very clean installation. Good work!

  I though they’re why the desert racists box spread so far to the north.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Replaced my electric resistance water heater with heat pump, dramatic reduction in energy usage⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While that is true of heat pump technology in total, I have not seen any heat pump water heaters in the US that work below freezing. One example: my Rheem manual says it will work down to about 42F / 5C. Below that, it uses resistive heating elements.

  But I’m sure it’s coming eventually to water heaters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shared storage between virtual instances⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  GlusterFS is (was) really cool, but I would not set up a new instance. It used to have significant support and development from RedHat, but they decided to halt their work on it, and focus on Ceph.

  GlusterFS is getting a few slow updates from some alternate developers, but I would only count on that being fixes for current installations.

  Yes, many bad ideas are possible to implement. At least temporarily. Until the next cleanup process figures out how to remove cadvisor dir regardless of file contents. Or the next OS release turns /tmp into a ram disk. Or… or… or…

  Yes, it’s a fun academic exercise to think through possible mitigations. And in the end, it will still be dumb to keep this in /tmp

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Strange cAdvisor Issue⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why wouldn’t changing to permissions keep the file from being deleted by the internal process?

  That’s like keeping your lunch laying outside on the sidewalk, getting stepped on by people and destroyed, and then wondering if your lunch would be safer if you put it in a stronger bag (but still left it on the sidewalk).

  Don’t leave your lunch outside laying on the sidewalk, regardless of what you might do to “protect” it. Don’t keep important files in /tmp

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brazing Copper Plumbing Pipe?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would wonder about leaching. Modern lead-free plumbing solder is safe for drinking water, but is silphos considered safe for drinking water?
