On Photoprism Claude, and HEIC Files on a Pi

When I migrated my Photoprism library from an HP Laptop to a Pi5 I found that there was a nine thousand photo hole in the total photo count. It’s when I looked closer that I found that the gap between expected photos and actual photos is down to Photoprism and the Pi5 not playing nicely when it comes to HEIC files.

I decided to experiment with Claude AI as it is flavour of the month and the first advice it gave was “force reindex the entire library”. Anyone who has played with raspberry Pi will know why that was an absurd proposition. I played along anyway and within minutes my Pi was sulking so I went for a walk, on the off chance that it would be ready when I got home. It was still sulking, and worse than that, pings took up to 30 milliseconds or more.

EV Charging around Signy and Nyon

Yesterday morning I plugged the car in to charge at Signy Centre while shopping and for the price of a coffee I charged the car by ten percent. I then went to the lakeside of Nyon to test the Service Industriel de Nyon (SIN) chargers and failed.

They were out of service so I drove towards Chavannes Centre because I thought of using their chargers until I realised that by the time the car is charged I would be driving through rush hour traffic. Instead I drove back to Signy Centre.
