  • They dont need to know any commands.

    Everything in Linux is point and click. There’s an app store where you’ll find everything you’ll need. You will not need to open the terminal at all. All drivers will get installed through the OS.

    Only things which do not work are the keyboard software and stuff to map macros to your keys and/or mouse buttons ans tweak the colours. Like the Razor software.

    Distros like Ubuntu, popos, Linux mint are incredibly beginner friendly. There are, without a doubt, others.

    They didn’t need to know any cmd/powershell commands using windows and they definitely don’t need to know how to use a Linux terminal to browse/mail/install software on Linux.


  • There’s also the option of setting up a cloudflare tunnel and only exposing immich over that tunnel. The HTTPS certificate is handled by cloudflare and you’d need to use the cloudflare DNS name servers as your domains name servers.

    Note that the means cloudflare will proxy to you and essentially become a man-in-the-middle. You – HTTPS --> cloudflare --http–> homelab-immich. The connection between you and cloudflare could be encrypted as well, but cloudflare remains the man-in-the-middle and can see all data that passes by.












  • It seems it was part of the solution!

    When I tried to install it using install.sh I got the message that it was already installed.

    I had a look at dmesg and found the following entries:

    [ 1634.510594] xone-dongle 3-2:1.0: Direct firmware load for xow_dongle.bin failed with error -2
    [ 1634.510601] xone-dongle 3-2:1.0: xone_mt76_load_firmware: firmware not found
    [ 1634.510604] xone-dongle 3-2:1.0: xone_dongle_init: load firmware failed: -2
    [ 1634.511456] xone-dongle: probe of 3-2:1.0 failed with error -2
    

    Inside the repository I cloned I found an install/ directory with a firmware.sh file in there. I ran that as root and it installed the driver.

    I plugged in the dongle again and it worked immediately!

    ( I looked at what the script did first though ).

    Thanks for the help!







  • I’m all for it as long as you keep using your brain. Coworker of mine set something upn on AWS that wasn’t working. Going through it I found the error. He said he tried it using chatgpt. He knows how to do it himself, he knows the actual mistake was a mistake, but he trusted Amazon Q when it said the mistake was correct. Even when double checking.

    Trust, but verify.

    I found it to be a helpful tool in your toolkit. Just like being able to write effective search queries is. Copying scripts off the internet and running them blindly is a bad idea. The same thing holds up for LLMs.

    It may seem like it knows what it’s talking about, but it can often talk out of its arse too…

    I’ve personally had good results with 3.5 on the free tier. Unless you’re really looking for the latest data
