A pi5 with 1gb ram will always be cheaper but that’s not enough ram for your usecase, search n150 at Aliexpress, you can often find some mini pc for around 150-160€ on sale with n150, 12gb lpddr5 (or 16gb ddr4 sodim) and 500gb SSD. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQ5k2Uu This one was 153€ couple of days ago. Thay are other Chinese brand like soyo, beelink, bmax that have similar hardware. They are not as good as NUC, but they do the job for way cheaper.

Home assistant is a beast, not sure openhab can actually match it today. Unless you already have a pi5 and a SSD (avoid micro sd card), you could consider a mini pc with n150 (or n100) processor. It doesn’t consume much power (close to pi5) and it will be more powerful and more Ram which will be useful for immich.

Start with zigbee first, much more mature than thread. I don’t personaly use thread but i believe some zigbee dongle also can deal with thread at the same time.

About the setup. If mini pc, you can use proxmox so you will be able to create a VM for home assistant and another one for immich.

They have changed their policy last year, not sure it is the best place to put pictures on

There is a ublock filter you can add to block the login page to appear if that’s what you are looking for.

Can’t add it right now, but let me know if you can’t find it and I will add it

You can search for “9 2009” to help finding it. Not on first page but does appear (check pm)

That might depends on how your AC is working, I recently did the same at my dad’s house and run into issues because the temp control for the unit is reading from the remote. So when I sent infrared command to turn off unit, it worked as expected for some minutes then turned back on because remote sent back command as temp wasn’t meet. Still need to do a lot of testing to find a way to make it work, might need to disable remote and use some temp sensors for the triggering part but not sure how that will work, might need to use some hysterisis friendly climate addon for that…

You can try captvty on desktop, it enables downloading available replay and many have English, French audio with subtitles in each languages.

Only thing is I don’t know it if requires to be in France to access it but vpn would solve that.

If you go on any French download website mentioned in fhym, look for files with “multi” so you will get subtitles in English.

Why would they propose free turbo mode with uploader status if it was an exit scam? I personally don’t think they will bother to do so since they are the largest pt by far, I would see a scam like that for small pt that are not able to get bigger. They probably received so much new uploaders status that they can’t keep up right now, according to their saying they are also writing new API. That being said, ygg team have never been seen as nice people but that was the same for t411 (most are probably from t411 anyway)

In MAS we trust! :D

Did you check photogimp? It’s gimp with Photoshop like user interface

Can’t answer sorry

Comparison of self hosted photo library https://github.com/meichthys/foss_photo_libraries

Did you try darktable? Pretty decent open source alternative to lightroom

Kodi

I can’t remember any name but search for f2f (friend to friend) p2p. Basically a private way to share files over p2p to limited people you have accepted without any use of tracker like P2P use

Oh ok, the first thing that comes to my mind is Kodi. Depending your pc it might be a bit slow but that should work.

Edit: are you on linux or windows? If windows, you should really consider linux. Old pc comes back to life with linux as it needs way less ressources than windows

I guess you meant something to act as a remote desktop? Something lightweight better than a remote desktop for your use case is to setup a FTP server or a samba share. You will then use some media player client to read from there

You can go to Annas and search “piracy”. Not sure how much materials you will get but there will be some

I don’t know about jailbreak, but you can sideload games/apps. Will send a link in mp

It already exists for quest (vr head set) which is android base, so I guess we will see one for phone at some point.
