Don’t recall the brand. Threw the remaining ones out.

shitty bulbs.

+1 on that as a potential issue. Don’t recall the brand, but I had bought a pack of light bulbs where the whole pack was having issues, to the point I called an electrician to check. When the electrician came and saw the brand he told me “those are garbage” and that he had seen plenty of people having issues with that brand.

I threw those away, bought some other brand. The exact same places where I was having to replace light bulbs often no longer had any issues.

Don’t see installation instructions on git page. Are there installations instructions anywhere?

francisco_1844, 11 months ago to asklemmy in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

No. Have not logged for weeks and can’t think of any good reason to go back.

francisco_1844, 11 months ago to selfhosted in What are your backup solutions?

Restic for backup - can send backups to S3 and SFTP amongst other target options.

There are S3 (block storage) compatible services, such as Backblaze’s B2, which are very affordable for backups.
