  • I finally got around to doing this. I bought one of these. Here is a quick brain dump of the steps.

    • Enable the beta program in the frame settings and you’ll get the USB debugging option.
    • Once you enable USB debugging, hook it up to your computer (usb-a to c, not c-c cable) and install the latest immichframe apk: adb install <path to apk>
    • You’ll need a computer on the network where the frame will live that is kinda like a proxy to your immich server. I didn’t initially figure this out.
    • Setup immich frame docker container on that machine. you’ll need to configure your immich library credentials and which albums to serve, etc.
    • Then, in the immichframe settings on the frame, configure your host address of the machine running the docker container.
    • you can then disable the frameo app so that immichframe launches when the frame starts up. ‘adb shell su’ then ‘pm disable net.frameo.frame’

    that’s basically it. the immichframe documentation is pretty sparse so I had to fumble around trying a bunch of different things before I could make this work.

    Also, I was originally planning on getting tailscale running on the frame but that was a no-go. Plus, it was not needed in my case since I already had a system on tailscale at that location so I installed the immichframe server there and it connects over tailscale to my immich server.


  • I’m about to try this. I’ve ordered a Frameo picture frame that runs Android and supposedly you can use adb to sideload Immichframe and set it as the home app so it launches automatically. My Immich instance is on a private mesh network so I was going to configure the frame to autoconnect to the mesh network and only have permissions to access that one machine.

    If I cannot get this to work, I’ll fail back to just manually loading the pictures on an SD card and swap out the card for one with new pictures when I visit.



  • Not sure if you’re into command line tools but I’m using hledger and have emulated pretty well the YNAB envelope method and I’m liking it quite a bit. Using plain text for transaction journals is amazing and has solved some of the ambiguity I felt when using YNAB. Tons of information here for this type of accounting method. And look here specifically for implementing the envelope method with these sorts of tools.

    No phone apps are available as far as I know but depending on your technical expertise you could provide reports from a webpage pretty easily.









  • Tuna Tomato Pasta

    Boil some spaghetti and simmer some jar marinara.

    Saute a bunch of garlic. Then drop in a few anchovies and cook until dissolved. Add some crushed capers and chili flakes. Add the cooked pasta and stir to coat then start ladling in the marina until it’s as saucy as you like. Then dump in a can or two of good tuna packed in oil and stir around until combined.
