I might send you an email about that; I commented above (same parent comment) about having Windows server 2022 at home. I haven’t tried to connect the vm to xpipe (no need as of yet), but I would have been bummed out at the requirement.

(it’s running on a second-hand ThinkServer tower, tucked away under a table :P)

As per https://xpipe.io/pricing :

The following systems are classified as enterprise operating systems within XPipe and connections to those systems are only possible starting from the professional plan:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems
• SUSE Enterprise Linux systems
• Zentyal systems
• Windows Enterprise systems
• Windows Server Datacenter systems

(which I didn’t know about and is a bummer since I have a w10 2022 sever datacenter vm, but it’s single-purpose so I don’t need to interact with it much at all)

Tossing my hat for +1 since I use xpipe for data transferring and basic stuff between systems, have been for like… 2 years now? It’s super handy.

So what you’re saying is, we need more rubber bands

Oddly enough, my go-to place for Chinese food is closed today. I was wanting some teriyaki chicken, but instead I’m going to have reheated pizza…

Have the system do something intensive and see how much the temps climb. Let it work for a few minutes and see - that will tell you if your system is thermal throttling or not.

Yeah, that all looks okay. Did you put the system under heavy load while checking/monitoring?

Thermal throttling is when the system (usually the cpu) becomes so hot from the lack of cooling provided to it, that it limits its performance to save itself from certain death - going so far as performing a hard shutdown if the situation doesn’t improve or stabilize. AMD chips usually throttle at 80C, Intel chips 100C, but it could be a few different components. You need to run software that can properly read and report the temperature of various parts in your system to see if you might be hitting the throttling threshold.

I know software to do this for windows, but not any for *nix.

I was 110% a Google fan until about 9 years ago, when Project Fi was headed towards public release, and devices purchased from them (effectively through the Google Store with a different sticker on the box) kept mysteriously going missing in transit, and the customer got an empty box/a brick/whatever. This is annoying on its own, but G/Fi cs response to these instances were awful. As I was a Fi user (woo closed beta gang), and I bought my devices thru Fi, I became concerned that this might happen to me. That thought quickly snowballed, and I started migrating out of the G ecosystem because the realization that their cs is useless and if I ever have a dispute or situation, they can just delete my account without giving a single fuck.

To pay a company money and not receive some assurances that my data won’t be wiped out of the blue while I am asleep, is - in my opinion - fucking stupid as hell. I don’t know how the apple situation is, but until proven otherwise, fuck both of them for anything you care about.

Line no go up if consumer has autonomy and awareness. Quick, marketing drones, put up more information about our amazing and very complex and totally unique super mega ultra cloud!

✨ profits ✨

Afaik there is extremely limited storage on these bots, so the floor plan is stored server-side. No cloud, no server, no no-go capabilities.

I have bought several in the last decade. I’m techy and disabled, and wanted to help out around the house. I have bought from multiple manufacturer but only purchase their top-tier offering, as I want to replace vacuuming, not just compliment it. We have pulled the manual vac out three times in 9 years.

The cheaper ones are meh, but the expensive ones can truly replace vacuuming and mopping. My issue is that, across… 5 brands, none of them have lasted longer than 2 years, often much shorter lifespans. I recently bought a Roborock with an extended warranty from RR themselves, something none of the others offer, so I’m hoping to be using it for several years to come.

Not to support this cloud-only system, but I used to own an iR (several, actually) and they can clean the entire space, pause, and cancel/dock with physical buttons.

Though it loses a large chunk of its smarts without a connection. No floor plan retention, no room selection, no 1 pass/2 pass, no knowledge about no-go lines and zones, no adjustable suction based on room…

I’m fucking sorry?! 😶

(I need to keep watching this show…)

HDD* (hard disk drive)

But streaming is downloading. Sure, it’s not saved to the disk, but…

No, not through the dockge UI. You can do it manually with standard docker commands (I have a cron task for this) but if you want to visualize things, dockge won’t do that (yet?).

Yeah

I use Obtainium and run this (play store link) in the background/scheduled. I use their software on my machines and like it so have been running their mobile solution for a few years too.

I guess you could download the apk and then scan it before installing, manually but that would get tiring fast. I don’t know of any automated system for that.

Oof. I have my VMs getting backed up to another machine so theoretically (untested) I should be able to recover with less than a day of data loss (very minimal for this box). The annoying part would be getting it hooked up to a monitor and keyboard, since it’s under an end-table in the living room.

This is the first issue in like… 15 months? Hopefully it stays rather uneventful.

I’m always up late (it’s 5:19a), though a good bit more than usual lately. But I did the upgrade because I was anxious, had nothing to do, and there were no users utilizing the machine.
