I’d have to look at Frigate again, but I’ve used BI for a few years now for myself and neighbors that I’ve installed livestock monitoring cameras for. The phone app is quite good, it does very reliable recognition via Deepstack, it’s compatible with so many cameras it isn’t funny, and the automations are very extensive. Setting up schedules is pretty intuitive.

The geofencing is terrible, but that’s about my biggest complaint with it, besides having to install it on a Windows VM. I did have it working in Wine years ago, but it wasn’t very stable.

I spent a decade or so building my own reprap printers from scratch before I ever bought a printer.

You have no idea.

requires UniFi Protect to enable the setting.

Always some sort of cloud based dicking around with Ubiquiti stuff. I’m so over them.

Make sure any cameras you get are ONVIF compatible. That’ll give you the widest usability.

And while it’s great to be self-hosted, I’ve never found anything as good as BlueIris for camera software, even if it does cost $50/yr. I run it in a Dockurr/windows container, there’s a few projects out there that make Dockur easier to set up.

Like, with a towel?

Maybe the US will be mature enough to join the civilized world in a century or two.

Maybe they finally got around to having a Handsmaid Tale viewing party.

Ah, who are we kidding, they’d both be Aunties.

I would talk to Prusa, that’s why you pay $$ for their printers. They’ll know how to fix that.

“too”?

Well, she wasn’t going to be able to throw the election if she made herself popular.

Oh, I prefer to be strung along and asked to make a bunch of changes before you reject my PR. That makes me feel truly loved. In the ass.

Ah, Megyn, glad it’s not some guy spouting “old enough to bleed, old enough to breed” like my drunk uncle at Thanksgiving…

Jesus, you’re trying hard to be a dick, huh. Try harder.

I have to start to learn how to automatically create notes. I’m starting to forget how my systems work together, too. Fortunately when I research something I do it the same way every time so I come up with the same result, then go to implement it and find all the scripts etc that I forgot about that do that job.

I hate the “Microsoft Recall” idea, but damn, I need something like that with an AI to keep it indexed and searchable as it relates to my activities. All self-hosted, of course.

Fedora KDE.

I’m sick and tired about hearing about Zorinn when there’s a dozen excellent Linux distros that aren’t derivative trash that astroturf social media and pass off other Foss projects as their own.

What the fuck was that supposed to mean?

Ducks.

I don’t see this phenomenon. Maybe people suggest those things to use because frankly, they’re a very fundamental part of the self-hosting landscape, and you’re see it as “you must use these”. Use whatever the hell you want and pay the price for doing it the hard way, by all means. But saying people are gatekeeping isn’t the way I see this community.
