Pixel Buds Pro Case Issues (lemmy.world)
 

I've been having a hard time with my Pixel Buds Pro for a week or so. It is hard to explain but I think the case and the right earbud don't get along anymore. I'm not sure which one is at fault though.

When I have a charge on the case, and both buds in the case, the devices connect and disconnect really quickly to Bluetooth. Sometimes it charges the right one while it is doing this, sometimes it doesn't. It will actually pull down the charge on my phone while it is going on.

Any ideas? I'm 99% sure I need to replace them, but hoping there is something simple and cheap that could fix it.

Hardware Acceleration in Linux in Proxmox in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] RVAtom@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

So this definitely seems like the guide that helped the most. I spent more hours than I would like to admit working on this over this weekend.

I am trying to figure out if I have a way to do what I want to here. When it was all said and done I could no longer log into the remote computer I was using to run my Jellyfin server. I have been messing around a little bit using a Linux PC with that, and enjoyed that aspect of things, but it seems like once you get hardware acceleration going, you cannot see the desktop anymore. There were several warnings about this so I wasn't entirely surprised when it happened.

I think I am going to end up needing to get rid of the proxmox part, and just run Linux directly on the computer if I want to do this, and remote into it. It is currently not hooked up to a monitor and is actually on top of my kitchen cabinets out of the way. It was a fun challenge and I learned a lot I think.

Hardware Acceleration in Linux in Proxmox (lemmy.world)
 

I have a used Lenovo Thinkcenter 910 with a i5 7500T running Proxmox with Linux Mint in one VM and Adguard running in another. I’m just getting started so I am reading/searching for tons of answers still

I was hoping to host Jellyfin within Linux Mint. It works pretty well, but I did notice while watching a movie the CPU was pretty well pegged out. I wanted to enable hardware based acceleration but when I started reading setup guides to hope to understand what I was doing, I think I may have painted myself into a corner already.

I think I need to tell Proxmox to pass the hardware acceleration on to Linux, and then get Linux to, but also some of the things I have read make it sound like I need to have set up the VM from the beginning this way.

Am I trying to do this the hard way somehow? Does anyone have any suggestions on the best guide to follow for this?

Compatible M.2 SSD (lemmy.world)
 

It has been a long time since I have parted out computer parts and I am not sure about checking on compatibility for some types of parts. I would like to get an M.2 drive to add to my Home Assistant Yellow, and I am thinking about this one. Crucial P3 500GB PCIe M.2 2280 SSD

Is there any reason this one wont work with the Yellow?

How to get lights to turn on when we enter a room? in c/homeassistant@lemmy.world

I have never used Feit lights with Home Assistant, but yes, my bedroom lights turn on when it senses motion. That automation disables when my living room lights are off (assuming we turn them off at bedtime) or when my phone plugs in to charge (which I do at bedtime). I use a motion sensor by Phillips Hue, and it integrates directly with the Home Assistant Yellow thru its Zigbee radio without an additional hub.

This is where the 120 volt power makes it a little worse for us Americans. 2200w would be 18 amps, easily taking most of the power on a breaker.

If kettles ever got more popular in the US maybe they could put 240v outlets in kitchens for kettles, but that would be a huge change.
