Not understanding that "up to" is not a range sends me spiralling.
localtoast··on Why Nextcloud feels slow to use
I have found adding the following four lines to the immich proxy host in nginx proxy manager (advanced tab) solved my immich syncing issues:

client_max_body_size 50000M;

proxy_read_timeout 600s;

proxy_send_timeout 600s;

send_timeout 600s;

FWIW, my library is about 22000 items large. Hope this helps someone.

localtoast··on Windows new icons for AI era
TIHI. Simultaneously, I couldn't care less. I do, though, feel this push for transparency in the GUI is counter-productive. Thankfully Apple is bringing "Tinted" as a Liquid Glass option to iOS 26.1.

Docker container FTW. Thanks for the heads-up - this is a project I will happily throw a Hetzner server at.

localtoast··on Building a fully local LLM voice assistant to control my smart home
Much appreciated. Sounds as if you're way out of spec. Still; should be interesting to go through your methods.

> - Those limited accounts? I use undocumented HomeAssistant APIs to lock them down to specific entities

Mind sharing your process to achieve what sounds like successful implementation of the much-requested ACL/RBAC support?

localtoast··on Fly through your shell history
I'm enjoying this immensely. Thanks a bunch.
localtoast··on A surprisingly simple way to foil car thieves
Yup; in our case it was in the cabin, a little to the left of the steering column.

As a kid, I watched my father pull a single fuse from the family 4x4's fuse box whenever we left the vehicle unattented for any extended period. Does a practical, lower-tech deterent exist?
localtoast··on Using fluids to model inaccessible realms of the cosmos
Ah, thanks for those links. Great stuff. I guffawed.
localtoast··on Here are the first 7 potential “Gatekeepers” under the EU Digital Markets Act
I, for one, cannot wait to able to sideload (easily) on my iPhone and AppleTV. Downvote me, baby.
localtoast··on Whole-brain connectome of the fruit fly
Isn't this concept lifted directly from Ned Beauman's Venomous Lumpsucker? I'm hearing bells. Church bells. :)
localtoast··on Aether: Open-source,self-governing, public communities with auditable moderation
“There can be many of the same name”… is this not a glaring issue? Surely unique names are a requirement for a successful social platform? If content is ephemeral, by default, at least allow usernames to be unique for that same period; i.e. register a username and, so long as one contributes to and interacts with the platform, ownership of the identity cannot change. Your Pro users can, naturally, register a username for “life”, whatever that means in 2023. ;p
