Right now it all works by just swapping the usb cable from the docking station to the PC and vice versa. Monitors, keyboard, mouse are all connected to the docking station; the PC uses it as well. So a USB switch seems the easiest.

My plan is to only connect the docking station to the USB switch. The docking station handles keyboard/video/mouse. Not sure if that's even supported :D

AC Lite. It doesn't need controller, it's standalone. I configure it via the mobile app.

[–] sylverstream@lemmy.nz 2 points 10 months ago (3 children)

It's a standalone AP. No controller. Two different SSIDs.

I've had it running now for 2 hours and of course now it works. The only change since last time is that I've reset the AP and did a firmware upgrade. Perhaps that fixed it...

There's only a single DHCP server, a Pihole, which also serves as DNS. Switch B is a cheaper switch, so that may be the culprit. I use it for heavy downloading from my Xbox and that is never a big issue. Speeds fluctuate from 100 to 900mbps (my max) but that's not necessarily a switch problem.

[–] sylverstream@lemmy.nz 3 points 10 months ago

Yep, thanks for checking, there's only 1 DHCP server on my network. I've just moved it back to behind switch B and will do more investigation when the problem occurs again.

I've just moved it back to behind switch B, will do testing as you suggest.

The switch doesn't have POE, the Unifi AP does use POE via its own POE injector.

Thanks. I've recently reset it, it has its own IP via DHCP. I've just moved it back to behind switch B, will do testing as you suggest.

This also makes me very sad. What can we do? Perhaps join protests? Email politicians?

I'm using Kagi and can't be happier.

Thanks for the long reply! I've tested Fully Kiosk again and now it seems to work perfectly. Previously it was not reliable, guess they have fixed it.

Thanks mate, much appreciated. That's what I mean, it's complicated... I have no idea what extra hardware I'd need. I just want to connect it via Coaxial and the only thing I can find is very complicated docs like you found :)

BT is not an option as I'd like to keep using the tablet directly to BT in case MA/HA is down.

 

Currently I've got a RPi4 without Coral, running Frigate with 2 cams, HA, Paperless, Photoview and Qbittorrent. This works well but maxes out the RPi4. As I want to add Immich and more cams, I have to upgrade. Budget allows for either a USB Coral with the existing RPi4 or buy a secondhand HP Prodesk 600 g4 with Intel 8th gen. According to Frigate I can use Openvino for object detection. Otherwise, I could add a Coral mini pcie, with a mini pcie to pcie adapter. But that stretches the budget. Besides frigate the HP should be able to run the rest.

Any thoughts?

 

I never played the original, but as it's on Gamepass via EA play decided to give it a go. It got me hooked immediately and found it hard to put down. Never got boring. It was too difficult for me on normal, easy was better for me. Hopefully they will remake 2 and 3 as well. I enjoy good graphics so not sure I enjoy the originals.

My daughter has a low specced Android Go phone, just for Whatsapp, Signal and txting. She likes it as it's also quite small compared to most other smartphones.

I don't mind it's not fast, but I've noticed that notifications for Signal & Whatsapp are not coming through after being idle for some time.

I've disabled battery saver for these apps, but after a couple of hours, notifications are not coming through again. What else could I change?

 

My 9yo daughter has a tablet with family link, so I can monitor what apps she wants to install. As the garbage games are mostly at the top free, she keeps asking for games that I reject, in most cases because it's riddled with ads.

The Play Store has a section for kids, which seems to have better quality apps and games. Also thinking to subscribe to Play Pass so she can try out paid games.

Any other tips? Especially how to find good free / paid games. I don't mind paying for good games.

Also I'm aware I can block ads using eg Pi Hole (already doing that) or sometimes putting it on airplane mode, but that's not my point. I want to find and support quality games.

 

Personally, one of my highest priorities for voting is climate change so I guess it will be Greens again.

If you think climate change is important as well, please vote accordingly.

 

I can highly recommend Beacon Pines! Not a long game, but very beautiful story.
