So I've got a couple of Mini PC's and a ODROID H4+ as a NAS, all just standing on my desk at the moment.

I'm going to build them into a 10" Rack and I'd like to have a good cooling solution.

My idea is to buy something like this https://www.alternate.nl/Noctua/NA-FH1-fancontroller/html/product/1917195 And wire it up with a ESP32 board and temperature probes, so that I can connect it all to a dashboard in Home Assistant.

Any advice on this project, or better alternatives would be appreciated.

I would like to crosspost this https://piefed.social/post/993050 to https://piefed.social/c/afrikaans

But I don't see the option to do so, I've noticed the crosspost button is sometimes there and other times not.

Now that Voyager supports PieFed, when promoting the Fediverse on Reddit I will be using this going forward

    
Try out the decentralised Reddit alternative called PieFed, https://piefed.social/  
It also has a mobile app: https://vger.app/settings/install  

I use it alongside Reddit, and I'm enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over  
  
  

Some of the biggest complaints people switching over have are

• Not sure which server to choose
• No onboarding
• Too much politics
• Trouble logging in
• Bad UX/UI (for a lot of people)

PieFed solves all of this, it has good onboarding, login is real easy you can even login with google, during onboarding you can filter out trump/musk spam, UX/UI is lightyears better for your average user, it has de-duplication etc.

I see a lot of people complaining that the Fairphone 6 doesn't have an Aux jack.

Just use an adapter cable.

A 3.5mm Aux jack takes up a significant amount of space just to connect a few wires that could be connected through USB-C anyway, that space could be used for a bigger battery.

Even if there was a good enough reason to keep Aux it should be 2.5mm Aux and not the usual 3.5 as it does exactly the same thing but uses less space

I wanted to spotlight a quietly massive success story in European digital sovereignty: GendBuntu - France’s custom Ubuntu distribution used by the National Gendarmerie.

The GendBuntu project derives from Microsoft's decision to end the development of Windows XP Back in 2005, France’s Gendarmerie began switching from Microsoft products to open-source software - starting with OpenOffice. Fast forward to 2024, and GendBuntu(Linux) is now running on 97% of their workstations (over 103,000 computers!).

France has shown what’s possible when a government actually backs open-source, in-house, and EU-grown solutions.
More countries should follow suit.

Thought I'd share a success story.

France’s National Gendarmerie (military police) rolled out GendBuntu, their own custom Linux OS

• Around 35,000 desktops/laptops deployed by December 2011, and today 97% of 103,000+ PCs run GendBuntu
• They started by replacing Office, IE & Outlook in 2005, then moved to Ubuntu in 2008, achieving a 40% reduction in total cost of ownership
• The switch slashed annual license and maintenance costs by millions of euros (~€2 M per year and ~€50 M total) .

The switch away from big Tech to Open Source alternatives might not be easy, but it's been successfully done before.

I've seen some people point to LiMux as a failure because they switched back to MS, but where LiMux failed GendBuntu (a version of Ubuntu adapted for use by France's National Gendarmerie) runs on over 100,000 stations and is going strong.

I made this post https://piefed.social/post/931182

But when I browse Lemmy, I can't see it. aka. it's missing on https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

Is it a ID10T User error? or is something else happening

I'm currently running my Immich server on a mini PC with proxmox

It's got 3x N97 CPU cores available to it and 7gb of ram It's using the default ViT-B-32__openai model, I was wondering if I can use a more powerful model, but I'm not sure which one or if I should enable hardware acceleration etc.

This is my yaml file

    
  immich-machine-learning:  
    container_name: immich_machine_learning  
    # For hardware acceleration, add one of -[armnn, cuda, rocm, openvino, rknn] to the image tag.  
    # Example tag: ${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}-cuda  
    image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-machine-learning:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}  
    # extends: # uncomment this section for hardware acceleration - see https://immich.app/docs/features/ml-hardware-acceleration  
    #   file: hwaccel.ml.yml  
    #   service: cpu # set to one of [armnn, cuda, rocm, openvino, openvino-wsl, rknn] for accelerated inference - use the `-wsl` version for WSL2 where applicable  
    volume
  

I use Qwant now instead of Google search,

I miss just being able to type 23 * 3 + 210 * 2 into the search bar and getting a answer.

I also miss just typing tsla or 1 eur to usd and getting a answer, I use FireFox, are there plugins for this?
Or what would be a workaround?
