      @JohnGalt if you have a usb carrier for the sd card, you could make and boot another one and mount the old one to erase the files

      @ian1266 no idea on the glass… I never did mine… bought foil, but never tried after all the feedback.
      and i don’t NEED another mirror anywhere… (live alone, know what I look like!! lol)
      so just use without mirrored glass

      @ian1266 I don’t have an answer for your country.

      but you’ve discovered the same things that almost every one has,
      plexi is flexy, not flat, and it shows
      foil is not the same as glass coating

      generally it is NOT the physical monitor

      there was a guy here, who was helpful in sourcing 2 way mirror glass in Europe. I haven’t seen him post recently…

      https://twowaymirrors.com
      in the US is the one that has the best supplies (and costs more for it too!)

      I’ll see if I can find his posts…

      here is a link to that topic… it hasn’t had a post in a year now
      https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15553/new-2-way-mirror-supplier-low-prices-and-lead-times

      you listed the two from Germany I would reference

    • RE: MMM-MessageCenter — a unified inbox for MagicMirror notifications

      @bwente thanks… fix pushed

      a drop down, with no default set, when not present took the first entry… oops…

      in the module folder
      git pull

      for the fix…

      that means you didn’t use the config.js.sample as your base, and then didn’t use my installer script, which copies it…

    • RE: MMM-MessageCenter — a unified inbox for MagicMirror notifications

      @bwente cool… did you look at MMM-Config handling of your config setup

      MMM-Config builds a web based config for MM and modules… via autodiscovery of the module defaults section

      you have objects and things that could be dropdown selection lists…
      so a customized layout could be needed

      @msimon360 merged… also merged support for apple HEIC images…

      to get the latest
      or sync your fork, then git pull

    • RE: New Module to download photos from Apple iCloud

      @msimon360 ImagePhotos isn’t mine, I have a fork…

      so, generally how you do this , for any change to any repo on github

      on github, find the source module repo
      make a fork (copy on YOUR github)
      checkout your fork
      make a new branch
      make the changes
      commit to local branch
      push to your github fork
      github will see this and offer to create a PULL request to the original source , and the author can execute that PULL , from yours to theirs (merge is the operation)

      once its merged, then you can delete your branch
      and then sync the source to your fork (if you still want the fork)
      git pull on your fork to get the update,
      OR
      delete your local copy of the fork, and redownload the original repo again
      and maybe delete your fork on github, if you think you will never need it again

      as for the bug

      retry is a bad choice of variable, if its not in a failure path!.. lol…

    • For your information: the end of 32 bit system support is coming

      The current version of electron we use is version 43,
      This version actually downloads the binary for the matching runtime at startup.

      Help from others added a script to my scripts package to help cleanup the growing disk consumption

      Anyhow, version 43 is no longer supported after this year

      Version 44 does NOT provide support for arm32, armhf systems.
      Node 24 also has the same limitation.

      We will move to electron 44 in the October release.
      And will document a workaround: after install or upgrade, manually install electron 43 before running
      (I’ll update the install/upgrade scripts to do the hack while it works)

      We don’t know how long this hack will work.

      Soooo, for those of you running on 32bit os for smaller memory, pi0-2w or pi3, you need to start making plans

      1. Freeze upgrades on that system
      2. Upgrade, possibly the hardware too, to a 64 bit os

      We have added the electron 44 to the next release, aka develop, branch
      If you have time or interest you can start reviewing its impacts by installing the develop branch.

      See my post in troubleshooting about testing changes for how to get the develop branch

    • RE: Weather, how to remove GB-ENG from the header?

      @Richard238 parameters TO module always go inside the config:{} section
      parameters to MagicMirror runtime are outside the config section

         module
         position
         header
         ... 
      

      and, like always, javascript demands a trailing comma on lines when there are more lines following… (comma means more to follow)

      config: {
      				weatherProvider: "openmeteo",
      				appendLocationNameToHeader: false, //<---add comma
      				type: "current",
      				lat: 51.12345 //<--- missing comma (there is more to follow this line)
      				lon: -0.12345
      			}

    • RE: Weather, how to remove GB-ENG from the header?

      @Richard238 there is a weather module property

      appendLocationToHeader

      Set it to false,

      Check the spelling in the module documentation
